Re: RATE THE REF - Darren Bond v Brentford

The retake of the quick throw in when the Brentford substitute wasn’t even ready really summed him up. He missed an absolute stonewall penalty and red card too, but was saved by VAR. And he missed a second stonewall penalty and red card when Fofana was rugby tackled at the end of the first half.
