Zip Forget about the top two. Too many decisions are going in favour of the teams above us. Brentford very lucky to win that.


Very frustrating for the chasing pack seeing the decisions Swansea and Brentford have got away with.

It’s hard not to think of the game at Hillsborough when we should have had four penalties in just that one game.

Tbf, Joao would probably have missed them

To add balance, we've had plenty of pens this season; some wasted sadly.

I reckon its going to Brentford or Watford for second, neither of whom I'd fancy us against in a two legged play-off semi.

Swansea I would fancy us against though, so its important we get at least 5th place and for that we need at least 6 points from these next 3 games.

Stranded First Blackburn pen shout is where VAR would be great. Ref realistically unsighted as the pull was on the side away from him, though assistant should have seen it. Without VAR though, can see why not given.

Not sure how he hasn't given something on the Dack challenge, he clearly beat keeper to the ball and was clobbered.

Brentford pen was soft and until the 80th minute, was their only shot on target.



The first pen was just one of those things, neither official would have had a decent view and therefore they can’t give it. The ref obviously unsighted and the Lino would have been more focused on the offside line which was ahead of the challenge. At best he’s have seen the foul in peripheral vision which probably isn’t enough.
Thought the Dack incident was not a foul, keeper was stronger, contact was shoulder to shoulder.

There was very significant contact on his leg as well. Was well away from the ball. Clear foul imo

Even though our record lately against Swansea is abysmal if I had to pick a play-off opponent it would be them, incredibly ordinary.

Under the cosh again but still winning. Rinse and repeat.

Another miss by Luton. If João had been playing up front for Luton he would have had a bagful......providing there no penalties.

How are Swansea getting away with it?

Not sure what bit you think is a foul, the shoulder is fine and there is contact between them but it’s not one fouling the other, it’s just contact. It’s a contact sport. The injury is just the way he falls, most times a player would just bounce up, he was unlucky. Very sad for Dack, a good player and horrid to get another ACL just as you get back after one. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

Well done the ref there. Great goalkeeping...player screaming and looking for a pen.

Any tangle of legs can be a foul surely? Which was what happened and the keeper made the move towards Dack and not the ball. You can’t just trip someone up who is going for the ball

If it was just shoulder I’d say it was no foul but as he basically legged him up as well it makes it clear to me
