Aston Villa v Tesco Bags Post-Match Thread

[luke25]

Firstly if thats a red card then i'm gonna be careful when putting my shoes on tomorrow incase that ****** of a linesman bursts in my room and starts waving his flag, secondly it does'nt matter if we had 10 men or 40 men, if we defend set pieces as appaling as that then were in deep shit.

The view of the tv was not good. From behind it looked worse

If all the technical people@ the BBC/SKY cannot find a replay that shows its a stamp from the 10 or so cameras @ the game then how can a linesman be 100% per cent sure when his view was masked by Olsson...........

I dont care how it looked...........

just admit you were seeing things mark! things that were not there!

If the linesman can't see it's a stamp, which he clearly couldn't, then why the hell did he give it? It's not his job to guess, absolutely disgusting decision.

As for Hutton, he was fortunate but his saving grace seems to have been he won the ball with the side of his foot, not his studs.

Do you admit that Hutton should have gone for his?

Just before the freekick was taken you can see olson throw a punch and hit herd on the shoulder

Unless they have physically airbrushed the foul out of the replays, it was an awful decision.

There isn't a foul. Yet I can't see how anybody can blame Dowd for it.

[Des Little]

Herd's wasn't a red

Hutton's was

One shot on target (the pen)

Going to be a long, hard winter

[MarkM]

As the ball went out I was watching Herd and from behind it did look as though Herd stamped his foot down, I'm not saying he did but it did look that way.

The view of the TV from the front of them doesn't really show much, but as I said my immediate thought was that he had stamped and that if the linesman saw it he would be off.

yep. there was a lot of naughty stuff going on in the 1st half. My guess is the linesman saw the tangle and imagined Herd stamped on him based on what went on before hand. Thats my best guess because there's no other reason i can see for the decision. Baffling really.

[pauliewalnuts]

It was an utterly perplexing decision.

Agreed, sat in L6 it looked way worse

[KRS]

The match officials contrived to completely fuck the game up for us with that disgraceful decision.
If anything it should have been a free kick to Villa. Penalty? Red card? Fuck right off.

As for Hutton...he's just crap.
Yes it was a hard reckless challenge but he played the ball and we've all seen much much worse.
Nothing was given but at worse a yellow card.

How can the officials see malice or intent in sending off Chris Herd, but no malice or intent for Hutton?
A complete and utter joke.

The view of the TV shows what happened, Herd was fouled, the linesman didn't give it, then Herd's foot gets caught under the Albion guy, he shakes his foot free, they both start running out of the area and then the linesman flags. There was no foul by Herd.
