Aston Villa v The Plastic Knobbers-Post Match Thread

[nigel]

The more I  see of Delph's goal, the more I can't work out how he did it.  Goal of the season.

Stunning goal. He could take 1st & 2nd, remember his goal vrs Southampton?
I'm sure the Beeb will find a tap in goal within the top six that 'Was better' though

Anyone else enjoying reading the continuous damnation of Foy from Chelsea fan sites. Sooo funny. Some even claim their goal was valid and Ramirez did not deserve a red!!!

What i found very pleasing about Foy's game was that he never once gave into any of the moaning from the Chelsea players or their obnoxious twat of a manager.
Some refs buckle when they are in charge and seem to favour the so called "Big Teams." Foy didn't bottle it once. It made a refreshing change.
Phil Dowd and others should take note of this imo.

Foy made go his decisions quickly too before Chelsea had chance to badger him - was nice seeing terry sprinting towards him after the Bennett tackle only to see foy immediately flash the yellow card before terry could call for a red.

I've seen a couple of people suggest the ramires red was harsh, what fucking planet are these people from, that was a leg breaker, KEA is very lucky he wasn't badly hurt, 3 games isn't long enough for me.

As for the 'ball to hand' argument that they seem to be using to suggest their goal shouldn't have been disallowed, his arm was away from his body and there is no chance he could've scored if it hadn't hit his arm, therefore it's a handball.

[baddowvillans]

Denying a goal scoring opportunity seems to be deliberately vague to allow referees generally to favour the big clubs. According to Poll and Halsey Ramirez was denied a clear goal scoring opportunity, despite being outside the area and a covering defender in attendance. Going back to our League Cup final against Manure though Gabby WASNT didn't have a clear opportunity despite being in the six yard box and drawing back his foot to shoot with no covering defenders - Beats me!  All I know is we deserved it and all credit to Foy for not buckling although he will no doubt suffer for it

I still think his goal against Albion is the best of the 3

Chelsea should have had a total of zero points return from playing us this season. The only thing they should have got out of the games is the privilege of playing against us.

The Bennett one would've been incredibly harsh to give a red, he was going more towards the corner flag than the goal and Vlaar was close enough to have put him under pressure had he carried on.  Add in that it was about 25yards out and there is no way you can call that a clear goalscoring opportunity, the ref got it spot on.  I also find it a bit rich for the likes of Poll and Halsey to criticise over this when their default position when the big clubs get these against them is to back the ref.  They were attention seeking wannabes when they were on the pitch and they're still the same now, pair of wankers.

So Mournho wants it set in stone that Chris Foy cannot ref, run the line or be fourth official at any Chelsea game. He would therefore not come into any future contact with Mourinho or John Terry. They should organise a petition. I reckon the first one to sign it would be Chris Foy.

Che£sea are very,very quiet at work today and there is a distinct lack on Manure about either....mind you the plastic RedScouse are very happy and out in their Gerrard/Suarez football shirts.

Totally agree. When it came to giving teams the big decisions, Halsey was the master of it, he was a terrible ref. Besides, he's got a book to flog at the moment.
