Just seen the replay. Do the championship have goal line technology?

Their first goal looks like it didnt cross the line.

Yes - they showed it during the coverage last night. 

Speaking of that ‘coverage’ - special word for Andy Hinchcliffe. The man clearly hates us but I’ve never seen anyone swivel on their opinion so quickly, particularly with their second goal, and our penalty shout for Mings I think it was

Not great this.

It started like this

I’d argue it started here. Irony abound given who we brought on today. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7905869.stm

It was interesting that Jansson in particular (and probably others but that’s who the cameras were focussed on) was regularly taking an energy supplement type thing during the game. I wonder if we do that? If not maybe we should as it might help us avoid being knackered after 70odd minutes. 

Answers on a postcard for that one

I’d argue Kodjia should have come off for Bolasie

Can't blame him for having a go in the PL, but he'd have been our best signing in years if we kept him. Instead we're blooding some other teams' shite keepers again. **** the loan system, unless we have an option to buy. 

He’s playing for Albion

Him, and also (ironically) Whelan’s last minute equaliser (I think) for Stoke the game after Moscow away (I think)

Who had 16 mins on the ‘Bruce knows the league’ sweepstake?

Bruce’s reign just keeps going On And On And On... unfortunately

Sounds like our fans are singing

’and we’re all singing over here BRUCE OUT’

Anyime struggling to find this on Sky, you have to be on Sky Football and NOT Sky Main Event.

 

Then just press the red button for match choice. On Main event it give some split screen stuff for the other match.

 

Does not work on Sky Go.

But the camera work is terrible. Headache central

Could everyone please make sure they bring their certificate of intelligence with them when they arrive at Villa park on Saturday.  Thanks .

IF (and it’s a big if) protests were to start against Bruce then it should absolutely involve holding up ‘certificates of intelligence’. Or, a banner hanging from the Holte saying ‘Certified Intelligent... and it’s time to go Steve’ or something along those lines. 

NB: not in favour of protests yet although I think he does need to go

No plans to dismiss Bruce, according to that article

That summed it all up for me there. Jedinak lets it run out for a goal kick and instead of giving it to Nyland to take it and get the tempo up he just left it there as though it was the opposition’s keeper

I locked it from the Holte when the whistle blew. When would you find acceptable?

The real question here is how were you able to get enough signal to get on the internet at VP??

For me the game changed somewhere around the hour mark (I forget when, exactly) but the ball went back to Nyland, and it was noticeable that there was no pressure on him but both Chester and Jedinak were pointing down the field for him to go long. He did just that, gave it straight to their keeper and then they had their best spell of the game - at that point I knew it was either going to be Brentford win or a draw, there was just something about that - it felt so negative

Best performance imo since wolves and I’m at a loss to explain how we haven’t won this 

Thinking about ways to raise some capital - I would have thought Tony could flog his Ford Mondeo?

There were 120 tickets left in block 532 (I think) about 15 mins ago. I’m going on my own since the Mrs hasn’t been to VP this season. It’s for the best. 

Would’ve liked another to make sure that Mike Dean can’t directly influence it too much on Tuesday but that was an excellent away performance, pleased with the result and if I’m thinking correctly then only a 1 goal win for Boro on the night will lead to ET/penalties?

Bobby Madley and Mike Dean the referees for the Away and Home legs respectively.
