Aston Villa v Manchester City Post-Match Thread

[bertlambshank]

It appears that some on here have developed a real deep we are shit and Clark is rubbish mentality that they are not able to distinguish right from wrong. As Clark turned with the ball Dzeko got there too late and tripped him making him fall over. In any other case it would have been foul except the wanker of ref who probably thought Villa defender City forward that can't be a foul and treated us like crap. Amazing thing is posters on here also go with well Clark is shit so it must be his fault!

Sorry posters don't fall into line with what you think.I will write what you want to hear next time.I am so sorry.

Aftab might also like to take the matter up with Lambert who also criticised Clark:

"The goal is a mistake,” he said.
 
“I wouldn’t have minded if someone had put one in the top corner with a bit of skill. But it’s a mistake by us."

Dont be too hard on him,he only watched the highlights.What would people who saw the whole game know.

Unfortunately when playing the likes of Utd and City etc, you're never, ever gonna get the rub of the green from the officials. It's a sad fact. It's been that way for decades now that the "big boys" seem to get most of the decisions.

Put it this way, if that had been Man U playing at OT with Rio instead of Clark and Wayne instead of Benteke, what decisions do you think would have been given?

Without question it would have been a foul in the first instance and a pen in the second. That is of course unless Mancini outbid Ferguson for the refs favour.

The cynic in me wonders why a foul was given on grandad in the manure game at VP earlier in the season. That was less of a "foul" than the challenge on Clark last night.

Of course it was clarks fault , he should have cleared the ball instead of dwelling on it -lambert said he didn't think there was any foul either- Clark once again was careless and we cannot afford to keep gifting goals.

Can we wind it in a bit please chaps, especially with the intimated better fan than yow line.

Clearly Clark should not have got himself into a situation where that sort of thing can happen however I maintain that Dzeko got there late and his intervention resulted in Clark stumbling. The ref should have blown for a foul.

[Mortimer's Bear]

I was at the match and I thought Clark played okay to be honest aside from his error that lead to the goal.

[oldtimernow]

What I have found puzzling is the way our players let refs get away with such decisions.

Had it been Rio or Vidic etc they would have been right in the face of the ref attempting to change his opinion whilst our lot throw their hands in the air and say nothing. Like it or not they seem to regularly get the benefit of doubt for the top sides...maybe not this time but maybe next time because a ref wont want to face that every time they come to a dodgy decision.

Couldn't understand the booking for Benteke either and the linesman should have seen the penalty too.

That wasn't intimated at all,but posters have have been told they are talking bollocks and are wankers.Having a go at the wrong person PWS I'm afraid.

Clark was already on the way down before any contact from the forward.
He should not have put himself in that position, pissing around as last man with an attacker breathing down his neck,that's his major failing here.

That said, I like Clark, its not his fault he has been badly let down by his management who have failed to give him the support (literally) or the rest that he so badly needs.

[themossman]

That how I see it - Clark was fouled but shouldn't have been pissing around with the ball in that position anyway, hence lambert's comments.

[PeterWithesShin]

Where have posters been called wankers?

And my interpretation is it was the intention to use "only watched the highlights" as a dig, which is why used it twice on the same poster.

[bertlambshank]

No I used it because he said people were talking bollocks,for daring to have a go about the team last night,but admitted he had seen only highlights.I you think that's me saying that I am a better fan than him,that's up to you.

[PeterWithesShin]

So where have posters been called wankers?

[bertlambshank]

I have re read his post and I got the wankers thing wrong.i must take this opportunity to say sorry to aftab for that.

[olaftab]

That wasn't intimated at all,but posters have have been told they are talking bollocks and are wankers.Having a go at the wrong person PWS I'm afraid.

Sorry where exactly did I call other posters wankers?
