Match Thread: Brentford v Villa

Need to improve second half. Not many obvious options from the bench but at the moment getting Watkins into the game has to be the main priority.

I wonder if Gary “don’t want to do it like that” Birtles will reappear second half?

What are you talking about? If it's offside, it's offside. Why would it matter whether "the chance gets developed" or not? It shouldn't be developed.

Coutinho had a winning goal denied against Man City because of a flag happy linesman. If they’re not absolutely certain, keep the flag down. It’s a good system.

I do think we will start the second half with renewed vigour, emery will not have been too happy with our performance, he will demand better from the team. That being said, tough place to come and HT at 0-0 certainly not the worst thing in the world

The convention as it stands has nothing to do with whether they're absolutely certain or not, and that's the problem. They're being told to leave the flag down even when they know, which apart from anything else could lead to a situation where a player gets an otherwise avoidable injury during what is essentially dead play. It's absolutely daft and the example you provide is about poor officiating rather than whether the rule is good or not.

It's not, it's shite.
