Aston Villa v Manchester United Post-Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Even the plastic twats on Red Cafe couldn't believe it was a red.

Now they're whining about LVG getting it all wrong, how their players took it for granted they'd win against ten men so didn't need to try and now how all their players are crap. They finally seem to be getting a team they deserve. Cocks.

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.

You mean a late bad tackle where Young slides in out of control?

Just back from the match. Lots of positives to take from this game. Okore and Sanchez were very good , Delph looked top 4 quality today. Rooney sprayed it about well and I thought we would have closed him down more but ultimately Guzan didn't have masses to do.
Bacuna so close to winning it at the end.

According to Collymore, Young told Guzan that he committed the foul challenge on Gabby.

Never a red

Actually yes. Watching it again, Young catches \gabby first.

I really hope that the red card is rescinded - as Koncheskys was, rightly - because it is a shocking decision: a 50:50 ball that may have been a foul, but I'm not convinced an infringement occurred. Lee Mason should hang his head over that decision.

I was disappointed that once again we seemed to come out for the second half intent on defending what we had.
Encouraging, even if we could and perhaps should have won.

It wasn't even a foul by Gabby, let alone a booking, and no way on gods earth was it a sending off!

According to Collymore, Young told Guzan that he committed the foul challenge on Gabby.

Surely Guzan couldn't have committed the foul; far too far out of the goal ... :-)

[silhillvilla]

Oh and we looked much better without Tom Cleverly .

Sorry; no way it was a card of any colour. Two players going in for a 50-50 ball: one (AY) has his foot up, the other (GA) has his foot down and he is totally focussed on the ball.

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

Well admire him for his honesty and he is right. Looking at from North Stand watching both players and ball and distance I was convinced Young could get a red as soon as he stops pretending injury which players do so often to avoid getting booked when they know they are in the wrong. At the time of impact he was out of control.

Good result and performance. Really enjoyed the last two home games and it's great to see us passingit more

Lambert got the tactics and the substitutions right. Let's give him some credit. He's got lots of faults but the claim so many make that he's incompetent tactically is bollocks

Benteke was great as were the back three and I thought sanchez and Delph did well

GUZAN was really good again after a dodgy spell

Lowton still can't defend

Really enjoyed it tho

Looking at this http://gfycat.com/PalatableCompassionateErmine it appears Young tries to take Gabby out, the only saving grace for him is he actually manages to touch the ball. Both players could have seriously been hurt, maybe if Gabby had roled around like a tart the referee would have taken no action. To me it's a clumsy 50-50 challenge. Nothing more.
