This long throw rubbish is slowing down the game unnecessarily. The authorities will have to act.
If you pick up the ball you take the throw and you have no more than 15 seconds to take it. Any infringement and the throw is reversed.
We're the worst culprits with Danso trotting from one side of the pitch to the other. Have we ever scored from one of his throws?
Says he on the topic of "acting the hard man".

Agree with this.
But an entire group of people shouldn't be able to just pick their section of the stadium to move to after kick off. Scum used to always announce a sell out even though you could see huge section of the Library were empty. We're now doing something similar.
The club has always said that it counts physical attendance, not sold tickets, so if they’ve changed that to suit the current situation then it is fiddling.
Just found an article from 2018 during our Wembley stint saying Brentford council said our attendance was about 3000 lower than our "official" attendance. I think we've always been at it.
Well bullies pick their targets don’t they !
I like the morning after posts.
Mate, the goals he scores masks an underlying issue with him. He's detrimental to the build up. For every goal he scores, he causes extremely promising attacks to break down by either not being in the right place at the right time, or losing possession because his control is pretty abysmal.
Hell get us a goal every now and again, but he's instrumental in us NOT getting other goals due to the above.
I've defended him in the past, but no longer.
Having said all of that, he's not alone and shouldn't be singled out, but he's definitely up there as one of the players we should be looking to upgrade on immediately.
I don’t follow ?
All of them but yes Vinai in particular
Also we have no one in midfield making themselves available. Look at Paul every time he got the ball all he did was a Johnson just passes it back to where it came from. He is ok when we are challenging for the ball in midfield but no good at closing down near our box.
I think our players are all programmed in coaching by Frank to always play the safe passes and not concede possession unnecessarily. His mantra of not to lose first is taking a negative toll on the entire squad and their capabilities, reversing what they could do in an attacking sense.
We’re really fooked at home. This will take years to turn around, look at Man United they’ve been struggling at OT for several years now through three managers. Teams fancy playing us, regardless of our performance the opposition always knows they can get at us. I don’t see us cracking top 6 for at least a couple more years.
What I don’t get with Frank and Vinai / Lange / Paratici is they must have known that this season may need to be a rebuild. Or was it meant to work on and improve on foundations of last seasons EL cup win. Either way Frank has not done either. He has not really worked on rebuild of the team by playing and developing the youth and academy players. Or instilling a pattern of play. And he has not improved or built on last season both in performance and results. It’s like he is caught betw the two and is just making it up as he goes along. There appears to be no real plan of what we are trying to do esp in playing style. I would have thought he would instill a pattern of play then work on the players to carry that out. All his done is chop and change with no real idea of what we are trying to do. You can see from how we play when we have the ball. There is no idea of what we are doing. All we did yday was keep pumping in stupid balls to their box hoping one would stick. It really is just hope for the best football. We never even looked like scoring from a set piece.
I would never boo because I think it's shit and doesn't help anybody. But his coach AND these players deserve any boo they get. Fuck them all.
The booing is natural response of disappointed let down fans by the players on the pitch. If helps or not is not relevant, what relevant is that players, coach and club should be aware of the fans expectations and the amount of £££s spent to attend matches to watch cr@p performances by players paid top transfer fees and top wages.
