Brilliant article, full of hyperbole and insane nonsense, hopefully you’ve had your red wine. Not sure bidwell is smart enough to attempt both a Jedi mind trick and shot on target at the same time, nor did jay fulton cleverly concoct a dive. The ref possibly got the decision wrong but it wasn’t due to Swansea trickery! (Though you made Saturday night all the merrier)
I’ve watched enough football over the years to know teams have little runs when decisions go for and against them, little surprised as a blog writer you haven’t figured that out. And to suggest referee favour ex PL teams like Watford, Norwich and Swansea slightly undermines the case for Huddersfield, and Cardiff!
I suppose what irks you more is the fact that Swansea aren’t playing well yet picking up points, though when Brentford lost form, the couldn’t manage the same feat?
Chin up, all to play for. The best thing about losing form is you eventually get it back. When Swansea’s luck runs out, we’ll be playing well enough that it shouldn’t matter!
Chin chin.
Spot on Jim and spot on Mr warnock Although the irony of warnock complaining of gamesmanship cannot be lost on anybody

Absolute nonsense, you paint yourselves as victims if you like , but please don’t forget that having beaten us in the playoff semifinals last year you had your chance against your near neighbours but you blew it !! Are you genuinely trying to suggest that because of the period of time we spent in the Premier league we have the ability to influence referees? If that was the case we’d have gone back up at the first opportunity.
Hard to disagree with that. A very childish remark.
Well let the Swansea boys have their holier than thou attitude for the moment.
For Bees fans Jim, I’m sure this article will resonate long in to next week, especially as we did not get our own penalty in the last minute against Norwich, a more “blatant” offence and the fact that we could do nothing today in anger with the Rotherham postponement.
Over the years I’ve hated Neil since the 1995 playoff with Huddersfield, but it’s now a love hate relationship as he moves into his 70s.
Looking ahead, Cardiff and Barnsley are on fire, Reading have steaded the ship and Watford are improving, perhaps the reason being no Deeney. We are now underperforming in the last six games, so need to refocus/reenergize etc and repeat the league form of January to keep in the hunt.
Like us, I’m not certain that Swansea will stay the course, but surely some dodgy pens against them must be coming up, starting with Blackburn on Tuesday…..
100% VAR has become a necessity whilst players make such over the top efforts to con/influence referees. Despite the above protestations Swansea have taken this to a new level. Wasn’t it a Swansea supporter who recently suggested Ayew sell the advertising space on the soles of his boots?
I haven’t forgotten last years play-off final nor the fact that if Var was in place Mitrovich gets a red for his blatant assault on the Brentford defender at the free kick which led to the first goal. With Mitrovich not in the reckoning would Raya have been caught out of position ? I doubt it. Did Fulham take advantage of the distraction by moving the ball up 2plus mitres ? definitely.
Warnocks comments remind me of the old saying that the dirtiest players make the best referees.
I have sympathy for referees , who amongst as haven’t changed our mind after viewing a different angle and that is without as the ref is running at the same time and being mind full of the movement other players nearby you,
What a ridiculous stance to take…have a glass of wine and chill out. Teams get a bit of good luck and bad luck throughout a season. The swans have dropped numerous points through poor ref decisions this season. It only feels like an injustice to you now because it’s happened at this stage of the season in back to back games. I dare say we won’t get any more luck this season.
As a level headed swans fan I can honestly admit that we are not a pretty side to watch (since the turn of the year at least) and teams in and around us play better football, but we’re a hard side to beat and that gives us hope (despite a lack of investment after selling our best players).
Best of luck to you for the reminder of the season… I admire the style of football and I still think you’ll get 2nd place even if we win our game in hand. Ultimately, the swans don’t score enough goals to finish second, but I hope I’m wrong.
Some very true words Jim in your article. I’ve just listened to Neil Warnock’s comments after today’s game and although I’m not his greatest fan, he made a few good points. Leaving aside the effect on Brentford and other clubs in the top six, I thought he had every right to feel angry and cheated after the game. They were clearly robbed of at least a point by completely incompetent officials as were Stoke the other night . Your point about the selection of match officials is really relevant. As Bees supporters, how many times this season have we / you groaned “ oh no not him” when you have heard the name of the referee? Clearly, teams like Swansea who are schooled in the dark arts of football take advantage of these officials and play on their incompetence or naivety. Like you, I pray that eventually real football will prevail but unfortunately, at the moment the cheats seem to have the upper hand!
This thread keeps on giving “ schooled in the dark arts “ !!!! We have no expectations, no sense of entitlement, Swansea were in the “ promised land “ for an unexpectedly long period of time, sometimes it was great , sometimes awful, sometimes plain boring. Brentford are a good side , but don’t forget that Sky were desperate for you to be promoted last year “ goodbye to Griffin Park , Premier league football in the new stadium “ and you boys didn’t read the script !! Don’t think that the Swans are any worse or any better than many clubs and often it’s the biggest clubs that are the most cynical. Don’t be so hard done by it’s not pretty and when you’re aligning yourselves with the likes of Neil Warnock it’s embarrassing.
Spot on the mark.
Whenever any one person or group are put on a pedestal and justifiable criticism is a crime the only outcome possible is a lower quality. The FA/eFL have created a monster and the only outcome is, at best, mediocrity. At worst it will just destroy the game.
Players and teams will always try to go to the limit allowable of cheating to win points. When referees are slack, incompetent, call it what you will and the football authorities condone incompetence of their protected referees, nothing will happen until club owners in unison take on the authorities, tell them enough is enough and sort it out.
It is possible to have a system of review of referees and eventually that must happen.
Football supporters must also have one voice to support owners in sorting out the tefetred.
Like a. Lot of Bees fans I’m very disappointed with the referring of Swansea’s last 2 games . Both would not have been given if VAR was in use. What if , the refs get told if a ball has crossed the goal line when the game could still be in motion , I relieve it from an office in Stockley Park so why not when the game is STOPPED that Stockley Park run a judgement on the incident

Swans fan in peace…
The decision goes for you it’s all great, the same decision goes against you and the world is against your team. This is the rank hypocrisy of some football fans up and down the land & every club has them.
Decisions are reached by officials that I have questioned at times but things go for you sometimes and against you on others. We’ve played Bristol City twice this season, they had a dodgy 83rd minute penalty at Ashton Gate (result 1-1) and arguably should have seen a man sent off in the first half in the recent home game, 0-0 at half time and we lost 1-3. That’s just 2 games against the same opponent I’ve thought of off the top of my head. It is of little or no surprise that there’s no article written up for injustices that go in any clubs favour…
Whatever has happened has happened, it cannot be changed. It is not a conspiracy, nor is it a concerted effort to prevent any team from being promoted. Referees are human and are prone to mistakes that go both for and against every team.
At the end of a 46 game season the table will not lie. Whoever is good enough will go up automatically.
For the record, I hate playing Brentford and the only reason for this is that you have a damn good side. I’ve been to Griffin Park many times from the mid 90’s, in fact my first ever game I went to was against Brentford a 1-1 draw at the Vetch ( I think former Swan Joe Allon was playing for you that day in 1992). I’ve never encountered a problem with any of the supporters, but the continued & sudden diatribe I see online towards Swansea is very confusing!
Swansea have been getting away with these antics all season, not just recently,they are really clever in how they con the officials!
