Match Thread Brentford 2-2 Everton Saturday 11th April 3.00pm

I dunno, but 30+ seconds to take a throw should be at yellow card offence. Kayode would have been sent off about 6 times if that was the rule.

In fairness, so would Jake O’B

They're not banned (at least they weren't earlier this season). Both teams have to agree that they can be used in the game. Sean Dyche was moaning about them, but I'm not sure why Forest didn't prevent them being used at the time.

We shouldn’t be agreeing against Brentford.

 

[PhilM]

Wasn't he offside anyway?

As @Ring master said, I think he was actually onside or close enough to think there's a decent chance it'd have been given.

Does anyone know if it’s now legal to use towels for long throws? It was made illegal but Brentford were doing it today.

Can't remember anyone stopping it, but I do remember we removed all the towels off the field against Someone not long ago.

That KDH chance was proper McNeil

Ha it really was lol. Weird because he bent one from outside the box on that side at OT. Case of what could've been but we keep going.

On the towel thing, I think the home team decides but has to provide the same service for both teams I.e. both teams get to rub their ball with the towel.

 

[PhilRegan]

fulham are 3 points off europe and united cant afford to slip up, and carrick is pushing for the role full time

Yes but they are happy no matter what . Utd will start trickling off on holibobs they've done enough

 

[gonetomorrow]

That was an excellent result considering. Years ago we'd have capitulated.
This team has resilience.

Didn't see @Ring master's post. I saw the attempt on MOTD but didn't really look too closely. Just had another look and it was touch and go.

Edit - just seen @Ring master's post.

The lino flagging instantly for that was an utter joke

Surely someone wittier than I can come up with some humourous 'rubbing balls' remark? Seems like an open goal to someone with an eye for smut.

 

[Mashtray]

Working the night before then too much drinking etc etc

Haha yeah fair enough

 

[Bedfordblue]

Nearly ? 1m from the ball

Size 5 ball is 22cm diameter

 

[Harryflashman]

We worked hard and I think did enough to deserve that point . A sense that that last minute goal could prove crucial come the end of this season , if had a feel about it .

No idea what KDH was doing with that chance but the equaliser made up for it . Sunday feels like a massive game now

This is just mad disrespectful to Brentford.

Especially as they have a 20 goal a season striker
Image if Beto or Barry had got even 15 goals this season where we would be in the league
At least 10 points better off
