Brentford 3-2 Fulham Mon 6 Mar 20:00

1-1 would be happy with that to be honest. Just got to take a bit more control and avoid second yellows and I could see us nicking this!

[love4ffc]

Ok he catches him in the head, draws blood and gets no card.  WTF?!?!

he bet he wouldn't get a card

and won himself a couple of quid so now he can afford some pie for dinner  :dft011:

Lukic really needs to keep his calm otherwise he's going to beat Palhinha's 10 yellows in record time.

[Lordedmundo]

The ref knew he couldn't send Lukic off after not booking Toney a few minutes earlier for studs in his face

[jayffc]

Now commentators are certain Lukic should be off. Might watch the second half on mute

They're right

I assumed a red there straight away.

Ref gave him a lifeline

Looks very likely to get sent off Lukic
Literally one foul more and hes off...and we'll be struggling in DM badly against Arsenal - Oodegard about to have us on toast

[Black, White and Fred]

I genuinely wonder sometimes if I am paranoid and that refs and pundits/commentators seem to hate us but the evidence they do is so overwhelming

[elgreenio]

Toney's challenge was disgustingly high.

Got to do something with Lukic now but not sure what? BDR in the middle and Reed sitting?

[KentFulham]

Would whip Lukic off at half time, red card waiting to happen

[Motspur Park]

Weak and poor referee. Had Toney been booked Lukic wouldn't have been in that position. 1st yellow was undeserved in my opinion, just beaten to the ball by their player. 2nd was definite yellow.

He definitely should've got a second yellow, ref very generous. Of course Toney should've got a yellow too.

[Carborundum]

Lukic has been at the centre of the action in a lot of ways.  Setting the controversies aside he's a tidy player.

Brentford are dangerous.

I think BDR should come on otherwise Luke Harris. Wouldn't risk going down to 10.

Agreed on all counts!

I thought besides the first 10 minutes and the last 5 minutes, we totally controlled the game and have been looking great.

Willian and Solomon create panic on Brentford's back line and the technical ability of our front 4 pushes Brentford to play almost 10 men behind.

Just let's keep playing the same way we've been paying those middle 30 minutes and we can win it.

Diop with a great half.

[Caedal]

Brentford started excellently, the flare on the pitch seemed to help us. We dominated most of the rest of the half without really doing anything. We need ALOT more from Mitro, he needs to focus on getting in the box, especially as we keep just lumping it into the area, and half the time he isnt there. We need to vary up our attacking play, its so one dimensional.

Lukic very lucky to still be on the pitch. He needs to be very careful as he wont get away with another. We cant afford to play with 10. As always I wish Reed would just stay in CM and stop roaming out right. Leaves us so open on the counter. But I've been complaining about it for months.

I'd be tempted to sub Willian off. He doesnt seem as effective on the right, and is on a booking.

Brentford have looked dangerous on the break.

Yes - I think he must make that change with an eye on the Arsenal game. I just can't see Lukic not committing another foul and he will then be off. He's playing well - but I think it is fair to say that tackling is not the best part of his game..

[TheCeiling]

Oh I forgot to add,  Manor, marry me!

[SP]

Sky didn't mention the mitigating consideration that he'd just been studded in the face.

The girl from Ch*lsea seems genuinely unset he wasn't sent off but said nothing about Toney.

[bill taylors apprentice]

Of course referees make mistakes just a players do but ........... boy oh boy, this guy is going to ruin us.
