A nice touch pre-match
A nice touch pre-match
In the tunnel before the match, before Burnley arrived, the Brentford players were 'High-Fiving' the Burnley mascots. I think sometimes the kids seem to be ignored as the players are 'In the zone' as they term it, and it was good to see those players acknowledge the kids.
Among many other attributes he had, Roy Keane was always terrific with the mascot kids.

Re: A nice touch pre-match
I remember Ben Mee being on a video when he was signed by them and the one thing he said is that he liked about his move and was a deciding factror was the fact that they had a similar rule to Burnley in that they didn't want players who were D*** Heads.
They are a community club surrounded by many bigger clubs - similar to us.
Its not a big thing to do in context of the bigger picture so well done to them. I am sure those Kids would have appreciated it.

Re: A nice touch pre-match
When he moved there - he wasn't there I don't think so not sure of the relevance, however who knows what Maupay is like off the field?
Michael Duff on an interview has said that there was (Barton I think) a player who came in and tried a few things that wasn't inline with the dressing room ethos/behaviour and he soon got told. He aligned pretty well quickly once he realised.

Re: A nice touch pre-match
don't particularly want to turn this thread into something it wasn't meant to be and the observation by the OP is a very good one. I was REALLY surprised by how much time Brentford spent falling over and surrounding the ref - it was Arsenal levels. I lost a lot of respect for them yesterday, Nathan Collins couldn't help himself.

Re: A nice touch pre-match
Just to add balance regarding Maupay, my lad likes to go to and try and get autographs from the away side after the game. Maupay was probably the most accommodating of all the Brentford players. I too probably thought of him as has been mentioned previously in this thread, but fair play to him he was excellent and made sure he signed for everyone, whilst Ivan Toney simply walked passed without so much of a nod. In fairness to Toney, I since learned it was his birthday so he probably wanted to get home to sup plenty of beer and eat birthday cake!

Anyone struggling to understand Maupay might be a decent bloke despite being a dickhead while the match is on might want to spend a few minutes fondly remembering Ashley Barnes.
