With Brentford getting themselves ready for a return to action at Wolves this weekend, all the talk has been about Scott Hogan. His goals speak for themselves but, once more, those Republic of Ireland stories are doing the rounds.
Perhaps too soon for a player with just handful of Championship games but just about as many goals under his belt? Or a chance for the Irish to grab a player who is, metaphorically, ‘on fire’ and terrifying defences up and down the land? Somebody really should use that one. It might catch on. Please. No.

A tiny bit harsh on Muff imo, sure they spent loads and gambled with FFP, catching a minuscule £7.5M fine in return for at least 2 years of PL riches. But there are far worse examples of pure greed and stupidity across the top 2 divisions. I’m happy to see smaller clubs sticking it to the entitled elite and see us similarly. By the way there a plenty of bods (especially in the Walsall area) that accuse MB and BFC of buying our L1 promotion a few years back – it’s relative I guess.
As for Scott Hogan, hope he swerves all the ROI noise and keeps doing his thing for us, he’ll have the call from England to consider before too long as well.
