Brentford boss Frank: My players are just too honest

Brentford boss Thomas Frank felt they were worth a penalty during yesterday's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

While reluctant to discuss VAR, Frank felt Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner should have been penalised for lunging at Yoane Wissa after the Brentford forward had stolen the ball.

"With the handball situations, some managers will say 'penalty' but I won't," said Frank. "I would really hate it if that is given against my team.

"But on the flipside the Wissa one is a clear penalty. You can't go through the man. Unfortunately that's a mistake from VAR as it's clear and obvious.

"Maybe our players are too honest. Maybe they need to be more nasty, but I'll never say that to them. I like honest players."

The Dane added, "I'm just so annoyed talking about VAR."
