Fulham 0-3 Brentford (H) - 19 August

[Rj Fulham]

What a disgraceful call, the brentford player jumps into him!

But when our player gets blocked off running into the box, they cant dismiss it quick enough, what a load of $$$$

[WolverineFFC]

Was Wissa offsides too? A shockingly ridiculous group of decisions. They should have left this clown of a referee out with the rest of the officials from his ManU match on Monday.

We were poor last week but lucky. We're poor this week but unlucky. I've seen the penalty replay and I can see why it was given. There does look to have been contact by Ream. I can't see why it's a red though.

Clinton Morrison seemed to think it was a farce decision, yet the referee expert seem to think it was fine. For me, it really shows the gulf between what ref's think, and assume they know, and what players who played the game at the highest level think. A stark difference and as always, it won't change because the guys who officiated the game into the gutter, are the guys training the current generation coming through.

Game completely ruined by utter bull****

We were still in it and doing better second half

Had subs to bring in... And that's how we go out

Disgraceful officiating

[Black, White and Fred]

Robinson's crossing back to being terrible

[ChesterTheTabby]

My tinfoil hat says the Saudis got to this referee to do this.

[Black, White and Fred]

I knew when they said it was this refs first game that we would be in for a ridiculous decision

Having contact means sod all. 5 mins before that decision, Brentford defender body checks Andreas blocking his way towards the ball in the box and nothing was given. So somebody will have to explain the double standards.

this charade of short throw short throw long throw should be recognized as time wasting if we are to play the rule fairly

[Rj Fulham]

Is kavanagh the var offical? I am beyond fuming

Hopefully this guy is stood down like those refs last week, awful

[FFC1987]

Bracing myself for a long season this year. Squad doesn't seem in the right place and we're rather fortunate to win our first away. Poor performance today. Mitrovic about to lose and Jimenez looks way off the races and we'll need to rely on a new player to cover the holes. Pretty deflating stuff on the back of a local Derby loss at home.

In fairness the starting lineup was never going to make an impression on Brentford.

[SouthernWhite]

To be fair, this Diop-Bassey is the partnership I was expecting in centre defence for the season.

Through almost 2 matches, the team has looked quite poor.  A lot of side to side and backwards, but going forward the patterns of play are missing.  Long season, but its been pretty ugly so far. 

As for the PK, the tell-tale sign of it not being a PK is the players reaction.  If they kick up their legs or flail their legs, its usually embellisment. Yes Ream is slightly on the wrong side but my biggest problem with refs and penalties is when they "bail out" players looking for it and not giving true penalties.

The ref has fallen for it every time.

This ref is pub league standard.

Ream made contact with his foot. That shouldn't be worse than blocking off but it is much easier for a referee to give.

In a world here's that's a penalty... I'm gonna get sick of watching football altogether

[FFC1987]

I'm worried but I won't be blaming the ref today. Morrison just said 'even though it probably wasn't a pen or a sending off, Brentford would probably have won this game anyway and have been the much better team'. Wasn't able to go today so haven't watched but sounds like we're getting what we deserve.
