Charlton next

Point taken, Gutter. But in this sense football is a mere microcosm of life. Everybody is hypocritical in their actions, everyone will cheat just a little bit, and those that dont are the losers. Everyone has probably shaved a few quid off their taxes, hopped onto a bus and not tapped in, managed to dodge paying for something at the supermarket self service checkouts (well they are so annoying hey deserve it!)

Let he or she who is without sin cast the first stone...... Mother!!

Its not really about the little things we see daily, its about Helmut Haller in the ref'd dressing room, its about betting scandals, brown enveloppes to galacticos, match fixing, chicken gate etc. The rest is small beer and mirrors real life

Say what you like, it looked a bit suspicious when the ref was consoling the Brentford players at the end of the game.

Would have been a lot more suspicious if he’d been celebrating with them had they won.
Brentford were a little unlucky...nowt wrong with a bit of empathy after the match.

Unlucky? Barnsley had two good penalty shouts turned down and still beat a surprisingly laclustre home side. Maybe the ref empathised with them because he'd had two bob on an Ollie Watkins hat trick.

No slight to Barnsley intended, Gunter. I meant Brentford were ‘unlucky’ over the season as a whole. They looked to have timed it perfectly and then messed up.

That sounds an awful lot like Derby County!!

Hmmm...only if you ignore the small matters of 18 points and a 42 goal GD.
