Correct call by the ref who’s having a. Alright game so far

Standard Albion 1st half, too slow in the build up allowing Brentford to organise themselves.

Players need to move and find space / angles

We need to be careful as this has counter attack conceeder all over it

Wissa not watching the ball grabs Dunk. Happens all the time but I would argue Dunk can do what he needs to to get away and actually attempt to play the ball. If the referee sees the Dunk foul it would be interesting to ask him what he thinks Wissa was doing.
What’s the alternative? Dunk just stands there, unable to move with two hands wrapped round his waste? Pushing off entirely proportionate, he’s got a corner to get on the end of. Quite clearly didn’t start it.

Slow build up, let them get everyone back and then send in a weak floated cross or a lame effort on goal… Brentford fans booing because we’re so boring?
Accurate description of Albion’s first half
It’s been going on for months
Ultra Boring and not a chance of scoring like that

They allow those. In the same incident, a player did that to Igor the entire time.

The dumb rationale is always “Well, if they gave penalties for that, there’d be penalties every ten minutes”.
Agree, it’s not a penalty by itself. Dunk’s also allowed to shove him off, which he did, before being dragged to the ground. Do you think Dunk acted disproportionately to the situation?

Sorry but with regards the VAR decision there's some serious levels of over analysis skewed by blue and white tinted specs!

Not much analysis needed, did Wissa have his hands wrapped around Dunk who then shoved him off or not lol? If he did it’s a clear pen
