Aston Villa v The Throstles Match Thread

Shay Given, you angel. Great save.

[Jimbo]

Dowd doesn't like Villa, does he?

[PaulWinch again]

There's no justice here, we're now under the pump for an hour. That is genuinely one of the worst decisions I've ever seen.

[Dave]

To be fair to Dowd, he's just reacting to what the linesman told him.

It's the linesman's colossal fuck-up.

[Ger Regan]

Ok, they replayed it there and he clipped someone in the box, so a penalty was probably deserved, but he in no way denied a clear goalscoring opportunity. The red is utterly undeserved.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Dowd doesn't like Villa, does he?

In fairness, it was the twat with the flag but why the fuck a red card? Dowd really is a twat.

[Karl Bridges]

That Dowd is a right fucking wanker

It was the lino, Dowd is still a fucking wanker though.

[Yossarian]

I wonder if someone in the far east with a bit of money has been betting on this game?

[TheSandman]

There are some woeful refs in the league these days. Dowd, Halsey and the pillock we had against QPR being prime examples.

[Smithy]

WTF - Someone please explain to me the reason for the red card.

The replays APPEAR to show Herd lashing out with his boot at Olsen before the ball is cleared, a good five or six seconds before the incident we THOUGHT led to the penalty.

The replay looks inconclusive to me.  The linesman saw it, and if he did lash out, it's a red card, unfortunately.

[citizenDJ]

Good to see Cuellar back in the action, and displaying some 'mad skills', too.

[Dave]

For fucks' sake.

[PaulWinch again]

Fuck.

[Jimbo]

******.

[taylorsworkrate]

Fuckin typical.
