They are filming bar scenes in the Talbot for Bank of Dave 2, at the minute.

They got quite a bit of stick for filming in Leeds last time.

He stoked up the locals into a froth about us but, as commented, we didn't really notice.

I was surprised with Brentford generally.. down to 10 men and in poor form, but they went long so often it was awful to watch.
They actually started the game like that, with 11 men- it looked like a deliberate tactic from Frank, and it's how he expected to beat us.

Just to clarify.


3. The VAR man looked at the offside, which took a long time. The ref isn't involved in that decision. (Though why they blank his screen, I do not know. What harm can it do to let him look?)

That's exactly what I thought.
