The Beesotted Brentford Pride of West London Podcast

Brentford and Brighton ground out a goalless midweek draw in a game that The Bees never really looked like winning.

An unchanged Bees XI failed to build upon the rousing Saturday night display against Man Utd, however, this point is a valuable one which edges the side a little further away from the danger zone.

Apart from Bryan Mbeumo not starting, the biggest talking point was the VAR check just before half time where the referee decided NOT to give Brighton a spot kick having gone to the monitor. That rarely happens.

Brentford were in no mood to feel sorry for themselves after going behind against Manchester United and ended the match on a high having salvaged a point when all looked lost – it had been a great performance and Thomas Frank's side will to emulate that again for the midweek clash with Brighton at The Gtech.

Billy The Bee Grant and Dave Laney Laney grab a cuppa and chew the fat ahead of Wednesday night's match as well as looking back to a proud night under the lights last Saturday evening.

Manchester United survived the alamo as Brentford threw the pitching sink at them. And survived only by the with of the post - twice. And the crossbar - once. And numerous other times as the Bees peppered the United goal but failed to score

United scored with pretty much their second shot of the match in injury time to strike fear in the Bees fans hearts. But up pops Ayer in 90mins + 6 to see the Bees share the points

We spoke to fans straight after the match

Beesotted were invited to the Premier League, along with representatives from all the Premier League clubs, to discuss refereeing and in particular VAR. The aim of the meeting was to have an open forum where fans were able to discuss their views on refereeing and VAR and what changes they felt would make the game better for both players on the field and for fans off it

Clarifying the four situations in which VAR is currently used - Goals, Penalties, Direct Red Cards and Mistaken identity- the meeting asked fans if they preferred more VAR interference and higher thresholds or less - the feedback they got from that being fairly unanimous

And only a few days after the meeting, with Kai Havertz alleged penalty dive against Brentford at the Emirates in which he wasn't sent off for a second yellow card because VAR was not authorised to judge on that offence, and with him ending up scoring a few minutes later, is there a case for tweaking the VAR rules to punish such shenanigans?
