   Very true, and almost all those “qualities” displayed by Peter Bankes in the 2nd half of the Wolves game. Jose Sa making a beeline for Ivan Toney, changing his direction to shoulder charge into him, clattering him to the floor, yet somehow giving a free kick for obstruction to the goalie, and a yellow card to Pontus for remonstrating with him.
   Not giving us the advantage when our player is fouled and the ball drops to Mbuemo in a promising position, then the fans at least getting some degree of satisfaction as the player gets sent off…only for VAR to overturn it. And none of it gets shown on Match of the Day….because we aren’t one of the established top names in the division
   That game was by far and away the most frustrating and irritating 2.5 hrs of football (of which only about 50 mins was actually kicking the ball) that I’ve witnessed for a very long time.

   I spotted your deliberate error under ‘time added on’

   I have suspected that this type of thing is occurring regularly, but would not dream that it was actually happening. If only it could be proved

   These are the types of things written during an international break? Can’t wait for real action to resume and re-focus on what the Bees need to do to stay alive in the PL. Brilliant though and I’m having a laugh from snowy Toronto. I very much look forward to the post-match podcasts. Almost like visiting the ground myself.

   Hmmm – agree we shouldn’t whinge but we do seem to lack the benefit of the doubt against the top six. Regarding time wasting we should be careful about casting the first stone (I’m thinking about Wolves away in particular!)
