Graham Smyth reacts sarcastically to what he read about Jayden Bogle controversy in Leeds v Brentford

Jayden Bogle's controversy in Leeds United's draw with Brentford has reared its head again.

The Whites played out a 1-1 draw with the Bees at Elland Road on Sunday, 30 August.

Leeds trailled to Kevin Schade's goal four minutes before the break, but earned a point through Dominic Calvert-Lewin's second-half equalliser.

Wing-back Bogle avoided punishment when he stood on the boot of Schade in the 66th minute, shortly before Calvert-Lewin's equaliser.

Referee Tony Harrington did not award the spot-kick, and video assistant referee Neil Davies felt it did not reach the threshold for intervention.

The Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel (KMI) has now had its say on the controversial incident.

What did the KMI Panel say about Jayden Bogle controversy?

The KMI Panel thinks that Schade should been awarded a penalty for the incident involving Bogle and Schade.

Indeed, they voted 4:1 in favour of the fact that a foul had been committed by the Leeds defender.

However, the panel also voted 3:2 in favour of the fact VAR did not need to get involved and send Harrington to the pitchside monitor.

Ultimately, the Panel's findings would do little to change anything away, given the game has long-since passed.

But unsurprisingly, it has led to plenty of reaction online, including from Yorkshire Evening Post writer Graham Smyth.

What did Graham Smyth about Jayden Bogle incident?

VAR is hugely divisive among football supporters, especially those who have to deal with it in the Premier week in and week out.

It seems like most fans would be happy to see VAR given the red card, and referees allowed to officiate the game themselves.

Certainly, Smyth took that view of it, quoting the post of BBC Sport writer Dale Johnson on X to react to what he had read.

Smyth posted: "Funny how close they are to realising that VAR is bad and actually human error should probably just be tolerated. So close. Almost there lads."

You would not find too many people who disgree with Smyth's assessment.

When you see the incident back, it is obvious that the referee has not made a clear and obvious error, and it certainly did not need a panel to tell us that.

Did Leeds get a little lucky? Yeah, probably a little bit. If it went the other way, Leeds fans would be calling for a penalty.

But football is a game of imperfections, it was never meant to be scrutinised to this intricate level.
