" Result: Swansea v Brentford (first leg) "

Have Brentford done a Dave Jones Cardiff and totally ran out of stream when the season counts

They've had excellent and could say perfect opportunities to score 3 goals but lacked composure.. be lucky to get away with it now..

Just as many as us. Ayew could have had 2, so could Brewster.

Clear penalty denied there too.

What Brewster? Ref 2yds away looking straight down at it Brewster no complaints .. or if mean fraction before that swans player slipped cant have that much poor refereeing decisions for you...

Yes, keeper took his legs clearly. That was a clear pen.

Unlucky not to get that.

Sorry he didn't take his legs because
they didnt move he just fell over as players do in pen area..... otherwise ref would seen it (from 2yards away); and Brewster and players would have complained vociferously which they didn't

The ref wasn’t two yards away, he was about 15 yards away. Everyone appealed including Brewster, because it was a clear pen.

Well the sky camera showed ref looking straight at it unobstructed view looked very close to action think I will take his view as no pen ... as for appealing it was half hearted at best I've just looked at it again... anyway it was not a pen as it wasn't given

Nope wasn’t half hearted. If I knew how to post photos on here you would see every single Swans player in the picture with their arms in the air shouting for the obvious pen to be given. I also have a photo of the keeper taking Brewsters legs.

This time I have come armed to combat the predicted “they were lucky” cries

But you are right, it wasn’t given - very unlucky.

They got some one sent off again ,how do they do that

They got some one sent off again ,how do they do that

By frustrating the opposition and making them resort to reckless challenges.

Don't forget the camera does lie! putting arms in air doesnt mean it wasn't half hearted appeal why the fck would you take picture of incident? .. if it's to prove something you are very sad person. Not lucky just poor refereeing

They got some one sent off again ,how do they do that

Its a psychological trait in all humans to subconsciously favour the smaller club, person etc.

Refs technically not human but will just about pass the test

It was on Kayo, which is a streaming service over here, the match can be re-watched and screenshots taken at any given point. As for the reason I took them, that’s because you have a selective and hazy memory when it comes to all things Swansea to continually push your predictable “lucky” rhetoric that you have been pushing for a decade.

All players appealed for a penalty, what more do you want? Them stripping off and doing a dance in protest?

We won. You will need to live with it Al.

If VAR was used both teams would have finished with 11 men and no penalties would have been awarded.

The first one Jansen got the ball and the second Brewster dived.

The sending off would have been overturned

The game probably would have been 0-0

The referee was awful

If Carlsberg did VAR reviews maybe.

I think it was a penalty but VAR would probably say different purely because he touches the ball

Don’t think it matters if ball was touched while he was committing a foul, just like the sending off in that respect.

It won’t get appealed or overturned, yet won the ball technically.

They have already said it will be appealed and VAR should be used which I agree with.

Good win for Swansea regardless of circumstances

Ayew is nothing but a diver and cheat!

Do you want the address of Spec Savers

Nope why should I? Its an observation over several games... good goal but still a diver and cheat!

I think if VAR was used we would have had 2 penalties and the red would have stood although the on field decision could have gone either way, I also don’t think it will be overturned. I guess they have nothing to lose by appealing though.

But yes, a good unexpected win that gives us a fighting chance in the next leg. I’d still be slightly favouring Brentford though.

Would prefer to play jacks rather than brentford apart from brewster brentford have watkins 2nd best scorer in division plus they look like they can score from anyone best footballing team in the division
So oddly a swans win ? For me get brentford out
swans would' nt want us.

I'm puzzled, can you please explain why we wouldn't want you ? Of course we wouldn't ( want you) but I assume you mean in a game.

Yeah I missed that comment.

I’m absolutely turning into a Cardiff fan tomorrow. I don’t think there is anyone in their right mind that would prefer to play Fulham.

Ayew is nothing but a diver and cheat!

18 goals and 7 assists this season, wish he played for us as we’d have gone up as Champions,he’s a Premier League Player like his brother!

Play for us and he will be like all the other strikers we've had ! Up until Harris of course... but still doesnt alter my view of him

Ffs brentford should have had 3 venrama misses a sitter after brilliant run..

You really are laughable, even to your own fans, can't recall 3 missed sitters. We hit the upright, had a penalty saved, and could easily had a couple more.
I still have that Spec Savers address if you want.

Styles make games , Swansea were struggling tonight with Brentford running at them but were strong in the air both in defence and attack.
Fulham don't really run directly at team's and instead tend to use the wingers to put balls into Mitrovic and look for knock downs.

Cardiff are very direct both running and passing so should in theory be the tougher game for a team like Swansea, Fulham's style should suit Swansea more.

Add the fact it's a derby and anything could happen in that game

Perhaps it's you needs spec savers? Benrahma for one burst through 10yrds out only needed to be on target to score he blasted over! Plus brentford whatever his name is missed two good chances.... but anyway not arguing with a one eyed person from Swansea.. couldn't give a fck what your team missed hit or didnt have given with that thought say bye

They didn’t have one sitter let alone 3 for one player.

His run that you are talking about was an excellent chance but far from a sitter, hence why he blazed it over.

But don’t kid yourself that you don’t care, you seem to spend your life talking about Swansea in the most bitter of ways, Al.

We have 4 points vs Cardiff this year and 0 vs Fulham.

We would without any shadow of a doubt prefer to play Cardiff be that for style or any other reason.

But of course we would need to get there first which is still one hell of a task to defend a 1-0 lead at Griffin Park.

This is a very different Cardiff team to the one you have faced early season. You should hope Fulham win as Cardiff are on form , playing well and confident. I don't think it matters anyway as the winner of the play offs is coming from the Fulham v Cardiff game

Form isn’t something I really worry too much about. It’s not as if once you win a few then you can’t lose again. We have won 3 on the bounce and would be amazed if we won the next for example.

Cardiff are the weaker side that’s all there is to it really, there is a reason Fulham finished 8 points above you and 11 above us. I just can’t see anybody preferring to play Fulham.

Not slagging you off, just being realistic.

No thats fine but don't forget Brentford finished 12 above you and you just beat them. They are the highest points and goalscorers put of the four but go into this on the worst form. 3 defeats in a row now.

Form is key and confidence is a must in the play offs

Absolutely, but Brentford are clearly the more talented side. I’m not saying we have no chance to beat Fulham, just more of a chance to beat you than we do Fulham, the better the team the tougher the game generally speaking. I just don’t see why anyone would really prefer to play Fulham in a Final when our recent derby record is great, have beaten you and drawn with you already this year and lost both matches against Fulham.

Form may well play a part but I would prefer to go up against a lesser team off the back of a few wins than a better side off the back of a few defeats any day. Form is only temporary.

They got some one sent off again ,how do they do that

By frustrating the opposition and making them resort to reckless challenges.

You really are a one eyed moron, the Brentford player played the ball, any one eyed jack can see that, they showed enough repeats, not even a yellow, you Jacks are lucky bastards, lucky that the ref cocked up and got it wrong!

By that I assume you mean “frustratingly sensible”?

It was reckless and dangerous, whether he got the ball is irrelevant. It was 100% a yellow and probably a red 50% of the time. They will be very unlikely to win any appeal so I guess we will see what the FA and referees association make of it.

You may think it’s lucky to hit the inside of the post, miss a penalty and get denied another clear cut one - but I’ll assume you are just being bitter.

Thomas, with regards to the pen that was given. I just watched it back, Janson doesn’t touch the ball at all, not even a scrape.

Fair enough that new angle shows it taps off Brewsters toe not Jansens.
They didn't show that one on tv.

All other angles show the ball changing direction as the tackle is made.

Just goes to show winning becomes a habit as does losing no matter how good/bad your team,our fans should know better than most.You rode your luck and today it paid off and if you gave me the same score under the same circumstancestommorow I'd bite you hand off at this moment. Losers are quickly forgotten no matter how unlucky you are.
