Aston Villa v Tesco Bags Post-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

And anyone want to bet we're on early on MoTD? The bastards only ever stick us on early when we lose.

N'Zogbia - biggest waste of £10m ever.  What a fucking waste of space.

Villa in control until sending off. Herd a find. A real player and I like him (said a month ago) in midfield.

Let it go. Positive approach, Bannan confident and creative. Herd will be a big 'un, nice to see Carlos much better than his 'replacement'. Dunne and Collins superb.

Stupid ref/ linesman decision. If he had stamped there would have been a reaction from Albion players. Nothing.

A bad day but until the sending off we were good. Even I can't blame the result on the Manager and in fact I think it was a positive team he put out. Benty should have scored and we would have been on top.

Pissed off but no blame today. Except for PD

Good post.

Dying to know what happened with the red card. One friend next to me reckoned he kicked the Boggie up in the air. Some guy behind me said he stamped on him. Most around me hadn't got a clue what happened.

The decision changed the direction of the game for sure as we didn't muster a single (even wayward) shoot on goal after the red card.

And if we can't defend from set pieces.......

I caught the incident** on Sky earlier. Neither commentator could figure out why Chris was sent off and that was after they watched the replays.

** calling it an "incident" is probably a poor word to use. Chris and the Baggies bloke were stood next to each other, when all of a sudden........... nothing happened.

The lino the started doing a bit of mad flag waving, the Baggies bloke celebrated like he'd just scored the winner in the Cup Final and Brunt gave us one of the all-time great penalty misses.

We saw the same from the Middle Trinity and thought the linesman was flagging for the pikey pulling Herd's legs.
Interesting how Dowd made that decision, presumably by radio conatct with the linesman, but still felt the need to go up to him on the goal line before the penalty, after poor Herd had gone, to ask him something.
Then, a little later, the ref's earpiece was obviously fucked as he gave it to the 4th official after standing in front of McLeish for 5 minutes.
Dowd was out of order once again.

they have all been moaning about huttons tackle too, brilliant tackle imo. 100% got the ball the ball came off longs knee and they follow through took him. He then got booked after for jack all!
dowd is a wanker!

Correct. Unfortunately Bent also does very little.

Just watched it again and it was two footed. Good tackle my arse.

[Greg N'Ash]

and Herd....well if thats even a foul than i'm a dutchman

[D.boy]

"Kicks back" did he bolloks.

[Somniloquism]

Boath managers talking shit about the red card incidents as expected. Just a shame Olsson decided to be a ****** with his take of the situation.

[D.boy]

Replays clearly show absolutely nothing happened, stupid decision and cost us dearly.

[Ads]

Never a penalty in a million years.

I've said Dowd is a ******, but at least that has a use.

Melt the fat fuck down for glue.

[Chris Harte]

Red card, my arse.

Herd was trying to get free of Olsson.

And these are "experienced" officials. **shakes head**

[Dave]

Well, that was pretty conclusive. Definitely not a foul or a card.

As for the Hutton one, had it been a red I don't think we could really have complained.
