Just being pedandic I'm pretty sure the lino gave the penalty as he flagged immediately with his flag across hios chest. Berry then blew up for it.

Well Mr Berry lived up to his reputation!
Onto Saturday and the officials will be
Referee...Graham Scott of Abingdon
Linos....John Busby of Berinsfield (Oxon) and Alan Young of Cambridge
4th official...Wes Linden of Northwood
Scott's only Bees game last season was the 2-0 defeat at Charlton, and before that the 1-0 defeat at Orient in September 2010. Dont know much about him, which can only be a good thing.
Busby is a Conference South ref, who last lined for us at home to Colchester last September. Alan Young is a Conference North ref and is making his debut at Football League level on Saturday. Lets hope he doesnt get overawed. In fact its unusual for a rookie to be thrown straight in as a lino, especially at League 1 level. Odd appointment, you would expect at least a turn at 4th official first.
Also a Middlesex official as 4th official. I know that usually means holding up the board, and telling managers to get back in their box, but also means if the ref is injured its the 4th official thats takes over.
Mr Berry was poor on Tuesday, very fussy, far too busy and made many a decision about him. Hoping for better from Mr Scott.
The future's bright, the future's Brentford !
Graham Scott was superb today I thought. The early advantages he gave set the tone for an enjoyable flowing game of football. He made one poor decision against Logan for an alleged foul on Pogba infront of the paddock but apart from that he got it spot on. Hope to see him back at GP soon.

A very good ref today, who used common sense and dialogue instead of automatic yellow cards when players made silly comment or clumsy challenges. The game was improved by the officiatiing team, who generally kept play moving well.
Can we have them again please!
Agreed. Reffed it excellently but there weren't a great many difficult decisions to make. That said, that's not dried some other referees from having shit awful games in the past.
I remember this guy reffed our home win against Norwich and he was excellent that night too. Another good game today. If he can do it to this standard why cant the rest?
I thought he was going to call the game off when he ran over and had a word with the linesmen/forth official
That worried me too. Other than that, I thought he was very good; a couple of decisions I disagreed with, but controlled it well
Top quality ref who actually knew that the fans wanted to see a game of football, not a whistle blowing ref with an ego. He blew up on Sam for a foul, Sam was arguing with the ref . Others would have booked Sam , but the ref just took him to one side and told him to calm down, same happened with Logan. I long to see refs of this standard ay GP instead of the crap we normally get. So thanks Graham Scott for making it a better game of football.
If my posts offend, then please do not read them. they should not be taken seriously.

Actually set out his stall with an absolutely firm word with Logan about positioning his throw-in in the first couple of minutes but then seemed to say to him, with a look and a smile, "stick to the rules and we'll get along just fine". That set the tone and, apart from a bit of diving that he fell for, was unnoticed for the rest of the game; the perfect ref.
When the wind of change blows some build walls, others build windmills...
Think it might have been difficulties with miking up and couldn't communicate with lino due to thunder and lightening breaking up radio signal. However, we weren't as bad as Wycombe - lightening strike on the visitor's stand - match abandoned - but pitch thoroughly waterlogged as well from FLS highlights on the Beeb. Ours held up well although a few splashes just before ht.
the lightning was worrying me
It appears credit all round went to Mr Scott whom we would like to see back at GP again. Interestingly, he is not a name ive heard for possible promotion to the PL. Also im guessing rookie lino Mr Young did fine too in his FL debut.
On to this saturday at Walsall
Referee....Mark Haywood of Wakefield
Linos....Adam Matthews of Stroud & Anthony Tankard of Sheffield
4th official....Neil Radford of Worcester
Haywood reffed the 1-1 draw at Notts County last season where he bizarrely sent off Uwe for getting in the way of a throw in! I imagine Uwe's least favourite referee! Before that he took charge of the home leg of the Southern Final in the JPT against Exeter. Mark Haywood is also not to be confused with another FL ref called Mark Heywood!
Matthews is another rookie linesman, who made his FL debut on Saturday at Oxford. This could be Tankard's first game lining a Bees match (although im not 100% certain)
I double checked and the 4th official Neil Radford of Worcester is not the former Worcestershire and England fast bowler!
I fear the worst. This bloke was very poor at Notts County last season and even managed to get in the way of our passing. Lets hope he can read the game better on Saturday.
He's back at last. We've got Atwell this Saturday !!
Like TW1Bee pointed out, yes we have got Attwell this weekend. Yikes. Granted since he has been demoted ive not heard much about him, which can only be a good thing.
Linos...Constantine Hatzidakis of Bromley and Justin Amey of Bournemouth.
4th official ....Paul Harris of Maidstone
Hatzidakis is a rookie lino, whos only previous appointment was the League 2 game between Barnet & York a couple of weeks back. He currently refs in the Isthmian League. As far as I can see this is also a Bees debut for Amey, He refs in the Blue Sq Prem. Coincidentally, Harris is also a rookie and whos only previous appointment was the abandoned game at Wycombe the other week, due to lightning.
I thought he was OK on Saturday. Gave us a couple of undeserved corners in the 2nd half, but I don't remember any major problems and no cards IIRC
Seems our "mate" Carl Berry from the Yeovil game had a stinker again on Saturday at Pompey sending two off. Both managers have gone on record to say he lost the plot. Oldham appealed the decision I believe.
Won their appeal.

It seems Byrne was no where near the incident. What a prat Berry must feel.
I understand that the prat could wellbe the fourth official who apparently told the ref to send off the wrong bloke.
not really, it might mean he's due one of his notorious errors
i DEMAND we win every game!!
It always makes me angry when I read of referees like Attwell and others who have "mares" refereeing a premiership game , - are then disciplined and "demoted" to the lower leagues. The implication behind this is "well it doesn't matter if he makes errors in those matches", he is being punished.
So are we! Just like premiership managers, lower league managers can lose their jobs and fans see their teams robbed of promotions by "lousy" referees - if they keep making mistakes they should be asked /told to quit the job.
We seem to have had more than our fair share of rubbish officiating at our matches why should we (along with other lower league clubs) have to tolerate incompetence. Once upon a time referees used to officiate in all 4 leagues - which I am sure was beneficial for both them and the clubs - some good/some average and some poor. Now, it is deemed that only the elite premiership league has to have the best.
Their greed and well being is seen as vital - the rest of us are of no consequence.
So much for the legacy of the Premiership.
