Aston Villa v Manchester United Post-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Just read something funny. Ashley Young thought he fouled Gabby when Gabby was sent off!

[Toronto Villa]

Actually not funny at all thinking about it. Just shit refereeing. Again

I assume the red can be appealed?

Afraid not. The *Except Against Manchester United Statute of 1992 applies.

Arese, I forgot about the statute.

Only one player went in studs showing and it wasn't Gabby.

I enjoyed that - 2 games in a row at VP!

Wise move by the 5 Mancs in front of us to f-off at half-time as well one having already "taken a tumble" when Benteke scored...

Well at least we had the satisfaction of not seeing the wankers once again walk away from VP with smug faces however they did help to fill up VP today and that was nice.
For the match the only time we lost control was those 5 or so minutes after De Gea save from Benteke and Falcoa scoring. We kept giving the ball away and it was going to end up in the net. United did not create a single chance in the first half and barely deserve what they got in the end. Benteke is a  f in genius. I can not think of many forward in the world game who would have scored the way he did.
On sending off I fully expected the ref to book Young as soon as he recovered from near death injury he was was feigning so  I was absolutely shocked when he picked Gabby with a red. What an arsehole.

This is actually a good team we have now. The centre backs are good. Sanchez is maturing into a very solid dependable player, Delph gives us lot of options and I think we now need to get brave and add Bacuna to the attacking midfield with Weimann  next to the Beast up front. This team should be wiping the floor with anyone below midtable at VP if the manager cares to give it wings!

No way is that a red card.

I'm clearly wrong but that does look as if Gabby was late and a tad reckless. As for the ref, Dermot Gallagher reffed us on many occasions and he's a Villa fan.

[Goldie.7]

Young didn't send off the player, the ref did. People seem to have forgot he went down easy for us lots of times and won us many free kicks. When he does it for them he's every name under the sun. Why people expect him to be 'some what' kind to us when he's against us is laughable.

He told Guzan after the game he thought he fouled Gabby, comical refereeing at it's finest.

If it does get rescinded (which is likely going off Kompany's red), he may  be awarded a yellow, thus banning him from Swansea anyway with 5 yellows.

Never a red card but it shows how poor Gabby is that we didn't miss him.

[Mister E]

Well done for staying strong after the red.  I love Bentekes heart.  Quite rightly having a massive pop at useless Bacuna at the end.

Season after season we are on the receiving end of terrible decisions against that lot. At least we managed to hold on to a point instead of rolling over in injury time (as usual). Class finish by the beast as well.

[Mister E]

Hopefully Gabby's red card won't get rescinded. I think we'll play much better in the next 3 games without him as displayed in the 25 minutes he wasn't on for.

Never a red
