Of the most recent ones, and there's been a few, that penalty vs Southampton was a blatant dive & another shocking decision was Halsey. However, what really pissed me off was Adkins defence of the player afterwards & comments along the lines of "there would have been contact if he hadn't move his leg". Anyway he got his reward shortly afterwards, cheating bastard.

Olsson and Hodgson both claiming in interviews that Herd had stamped on Olsson. Lying bitter twats.

Kevin Friends performance in our 3-2 home win v QPR last season. The most one sided 90mins I've ever seen from an official. Dodgy.

Havent read the whole thread but this takes the crown for me.

Another Dowd classic cock up, penalty and red card for Herd because Dunne out jumps Olsson for a header.

One that still pisses me off, and possibly because I had several discussions about this with a brummie red in the weeks after, is Gerrard diving to win the free kick against us on the first day of the season a few years ago. Blatant dive, punished by an outstanding free kick in all fairness, but such a feeling of being cheated out of a credible point. (they were a good side then)

The following week they played Chelsea, and justice was served in sorts as Chelsea cheated them out of a win with a dive for a penalty or something, to which the brummie red was gutted and all 'we should be top of the league and have been cheated out of two points' At every opportunity i pointed out that their points tally was correct and that he was a dick.
I can still see Gerrard pushing the ball one side of a Villa defender, runnning the other side of him and going down like a bag of shit, no contact involved. And the ref bought it! I had a long exchange online with a lpool fan who maintained that's how you win games!
Our 3-1 win away last season was extra sweet!
Twunt!

I'm pretty sure it was Petrov.

It was at Villa Park, not the Hawthorns.
It's the only time they've beaten us since they came up.

There was a goal against small heath that was wrongly disallowed for offside, possibly from Joachim. They beat us but it might have made a difference.

They beat us twice (2-1 both times) in 2011.

At least with the Gerrard one where he dived and then scored the cheating freekick, there was a sense of some justice.

He said after the game "sometimes these things go for you and sometimes they don't, these things even themselves out over the course of a season".

Then Chelsea got a ridiculous penalty the week afterwards to beat them and "Stevie G" had forgotten that it was just 'these things even themselves out over the course of a season'.   ;D

I was going to mention this. What a delightful bit of Karma. He wasn't laughing the following week, the shitehawk

The thing that annoyed me most about the henry free-kick is that he had to move the ball to the right to get a better angle before hitting it. That's the thing I found most annoying about it. Halsey had the right to allow the free-kick to be taken quickly but not for Henry to be allowed to find a better angle from which to shoot.
