Aston Villa v Gloryhunters Post-Match Thread

[Rigadon]

I'd like Villa to question why neither Brown nor Vidic were sent off today.  Not through the media, but quietly and quickly.  We've been fucked over by bottler refs against these too many times.

Don't forget Nani's retaliation on Warnock and also an argument could be made for Hernandez getting a yellow for kicking the ball away after knowing he was offside.

It's annoying as we should only be congratulating our players on a pretty sublime performance but they continuously get away with murder against us.  Yes, Hernandez should've gone too.  They have better players so them getting the rub of the green as well is pretty hard to take.

I imagine we are feeling a bit how blackpool fans did on Wednesday......
i.e. we nearly beat those fuckers..even with the team we put out...there's no way we are going down.....

[Toronto Villa]

He never saw those. He didn't see any of the positives that the vast majority of us have seen today. Yes, we're all gutted, but I truly hate meaningless uneducated posts from people who don't understand balance.

I agree he's OTT but I'm not sure you are the best person to be lecturing others on balance.

Ironic them coming from you. When did you become a mediator? You're no different to anybody else on here, but as usual instead of keeping your shit to yourself you look for opportunities to start any kind of argument. If you've got nothing constructive to add hilts go play somewhere else.

Calm down man, I'm not trying to start anything.  Neither am I trying to mediate.  I'm simply saying that your posts are not marked by their balance - they are admirably, but relentlessly, positive.

Hilts, your post was clear aimed at shit stirring. Your posts are no different to mine if you want to talk about balance. I'm not OTT positive, and you're not OTT negative, but we both approach things differently. I don't comment on the numerous times you've been negative on a situation, because it doesn't matter. You're entitled to your opinion and so am I. I don't comment on your negativity so give it a rest trying to point out whether I offer a balanced view on a subject.

Going down?  You'd have to be a severe pessimist to ever have thought that mate

[hilts_coolerking]

Nani shoulda been off, for premeditated violent conduct. Brown off for the penalty. But hey, it IS Man Utd.

I agree about Nani.  There was another defender around for the pen so I don't think Brown's was a sending off.  Vidic I don't care about; the damage was done by then.

I am gutted but very very proud.

One slight criticism still on corner taking. We have now started to take outswinging corners which has stopped them being catching practice for a keeper and means our defenders are getting heads on the ball. But we need to have someone standing in front of the keeper for the balls in. Tevez plays that position and anything dropping there is normally in the net. First half Dunne header was crying out for someone there.

[Muscle-Dolphin]

Overall, a nice performance.  I really like Albrighton's enthusiasm.  Bannan has a good ability to make interesting passes to open up the play.  IMHO Man U. had horseshoes up their arses today.  Not too impresses with the Fonz though.  Downing also played well.

No, it really wasn't.  You're right though about being entitled to our opinions; but that also applies to Blackcountry Villa, however much you might disagree with him.

Loved Fergies old fashioned Outside Right comment on Marc.

Admittedly is kind of irrelevant once Vidic scores but the fact remains he had only just booked Young for doing the same thing.  There is no justification for it.  Refs never seem to make these big decisions in favour of Man Utd - certainly not when they're playing us.

We didn't have any choice with the team that we put out though, whereas all of Blackpool's rested players are back in the side against West Ham.

Oh well at least Dwight Yorke is happy.

Can we discuss the match now please. Both of you.

I'm ok with Brown only getting a yellow, Ferdinand was going to get some kind of challenge in, so he wasn't the last man.

Vidic should have had a second yellow, just as Neville should have the other week against Stoke.
