Brentford v Spurs

[ClaretsPadiham]

What’s going on ?? Kick off delayed ? No water coming into the ground ?? How does that affect the game ? Confused as to what they mean.

[ClaretAndJew]

Potentially a fire safety issue if there’s no water into the ground it might mean if there’s a fire then the fire department can’t access appropriately pressured water. Just a guess though.

Is Ben Mee injured?

[wilks_bfc]

More likely would have been a H&S issue with water not being available for toilets/hand washing

Is Ben Mee injured?

Absent with a 'minor injury' apparently.

[daveisaclaret]

Stupid penalty decision assisted by VAR after a good decision by the ref to begin with.

[Foshiznik]

Ridiculous penalty decision. Contact doesn’t necessarily become a foul. The Brentford player went down about 20 minutes after the contact.

While i might well need one, I'm not sure that I'd be stopping for a leak if the stadium caught fire

[edlass]

And Alan smith says it was correct because there was contact.

In any other industry to be an expert you would need to know the rules and regulations to the letter, but football punditry seems to be the exception. If you are giving expert insight, why bother knowing everything needed to be said expert?!

[aclaretinstevenage]

And Alan smith says it was correct because there was contact.

So Smith and the other "expert" pundits are now declaring the game a non-contact sport?

It's becoming like Netball.

[BurnleyFC]

Spurs still being Spursy.

[Elizabeth]

Any guesses how many minutes will be added on this half ?

[Nori1958]

Rob Jones hasn't improved since that Leeds game I see.
Comes across as an arrogant prat who misses lots of stuff

[edlass]

I suppose there is no way to prove that someone has dived. No matter how obvious it looks. So therefor a ref has to give everything...

I was laughing at Ming's reaction yesterday thinking he was just play-acting having lost the ball and he was stretchered off.

Can you imagine a Burnley game being delayed by a water issue, this board would go into meltdown.

I was amused that they thought having people hanging round longer helped in any way.

[Nori1958]

11 mins added time, then a goal scored in that added time, but still only play the 11mins.... weird

[Pickles]

this board would go into meltdown.

Especially if there was no water

[Stayingup]

A damned lot. I heard there have been strong protests about the new system of adding time on from the transport companies who's schedules coukd be affected. Don't know if its true or not but I can imagine that travelling fans might miss tight connections home.

Shambolic referee IMHO. Inconsistent with his yellow cards as well. How does he get games?

[FCBurnley]

Good game.

And no doubt it would be the fault of either Weghorst or Pace….

Correct. it did when the Spurs game was cancelled because of a hard water issue.
