Ridiculous challenge by Vini

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Var is a farce, they're trying to give them something at all costs

 

[HarryHaslam]

Well they haven’t when they very easily could have given a penalty

 

[Rufus Smalls]

We are asking for trouble every time the ball is swung into our box. Brainless defending !

 

[Davalon]

Two correct VAR decisions thankfully.

Worried about the first one initially but his legs kicking up should have been the obvious pointer to him exaggerating the push.

Wasn't confident the VAR would see that though.

How can that be a pen when the maguire push on macca wasnt? Fucking lolz

 

[SUFCinks]

Trying to work out our gameplan here. We just seem to be launching long. Fucking shocking. An embarrassment this so far. Can’t hold the ball for more than 2 passes.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Norwood has lost the ball every single time

 

[LS5 Blade]

Some excellent pointing from Norwood so far.

He looks absolutely knackered mind you!

 

[drblade]

Impossible to get hold of the ball

 

[Bell4]

Omg

Fking awful

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Hooof....hoooof....hooooof. gutted that pro footballers cant pass to each other. Awful.

 

[The Crab]

Talksport, biased shittery

I didn’t say it was a pen, but two handed push in the back is often given, I wouldn’t have had any complaints had it been given though…. And using another incident is irrelevant as each ref and var have a mind of their own.

Oh i agree, and i think pushes in the back should always be a foul, but they set the standards and need to be consistent

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

12 successful passes in 25 minutes!?!

 

[Davalon]

Can tell they've got a Spanish manager.

Embarrassing diving and appealing anything.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Larouchi is miles better than pot dog thomas, wtf was hecky thinking?

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Fella, brit players and managers are just as bad. See howe and cooper teams

 

[Frank the tank]

That was a penalty. Very lucky.

It wasnt and it was t

 

[SUFCinks]

Norwood needs to fuck off with his aimless flicks round the corner.

 

[LS5 Blade]

Norwood needs to fuck off with his aimless flicks round the corner.

You could have stopped after the 5th word

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Brooks plays every week for me

 

[drblade]

Forgot Slimane was playing

 

[Frank the tank]

These villa players have a really low pain threshold

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Imagine when i was a lad, late 80s, playing in the sunday league in sheffield, falling down screaming after getting a tap on the foot. I'd be called a fckin poof

 

[jono_t2000]

0 shots, 0 on target for us

Approx 80% possession for Villa

But most importantly score is still level.

Be a miracle if remains like this till 90th minute however.

 

[Davalon]

Fella, brit players and managers are just as bad. See howe and cooper teams

I agree plenty of individuals are but these to a man are over-exaggerating most contacts.

Even the players who weren't as bad under Smith.

As a teenager one of my best mates had a cousin who grew up in Spain (one parent English one Spanish).

This was the 80s and even he used to have the attitude that diving was a legitimate skill back then when it was bizarre to us.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

We have far too many players not good or confident at this level,backs to the wall every away match. Feel sorry for Archer,a drought ridden African has more scraps to feed on at the moment . Huge job for wilder.

Its made its way into the football culture in the UK now. For.me Howe's teams are the worst for it, when he was at bournemouth it was like playing against a team of larry graysons
