Aston Villa 2 vs 1 Smethwick Post Match thread

When did we last win a derby via an injury time goal? 81 ? Think that was about 89 mins

Amazing how quickly West Brazil have become Stoke. Shit football, well organised, time wasting, constant hoofs, dirty and snide, reliant on set pieces.

Hitz?

[Rudy65]

It was like a stampede back to the seats from the concourse of the Lower Holte when the penalty was given.

And it's moments like that why we keep going to games.

Lots of people missed the pen. They were swarming out on about 88 mins. I dont get it. Why leave Early when The match is evenly balanced

[Rudy65]

Was Foster not also the keeper in goal for Small Heath when we won with the late penalty decision that Stephen Carr accepted so graciously?

No it was Joe Hart

Fair enough. I will settle for us winning with a late penalty again at the weekend so I can post 'Wasn't Foster in goal when we won with a late penalty a few days ago'? If I could write the script a handball decision against Craig Gardner when it clearly hasn't hit his hand would be my preference.

I was at that game as well. Had to look at up to be sure. We were lucky against the blose back then

[PeterWithesShin]

I can't judge too much as I was down there when the penalty was given. I never knew the screens were so far behind the game. In my defence I left on about 92 mins as I was bostin for a slash. And we never score late goals anyway so I decided to watch the last min on the screens.

I never leave early unless we are a couple of goals down with about five minutes to go. As I was unable to take my son he went with my wife. They left a minute or two before the goal. I was disappointed for him after all the rubbish he has had to watch this season. She wasn't impressed when I sarcastically asked her when she was taking him to half a match again. I think I might be in the dog house tomorrow.

Just got in at 1.15. It makes the long trip so easy when you win in the last minute, especially against the Albion!!!!!!. I saw many Villa fans at the services on the way home  and the smiles said it all.Bring on Saturday. UTV

On their forum they are taking the penalty incident well and not being too hard on Foster.

"I can't think of a bigger feck up in all of my life watching sports."

Made me laugh.

I seen a good Villa team for 45 mins tonight.  I seen a player called Gabriel Agbonlahore who looked great, really great. I want to see more of the same from now on and we'll be safe, easily safe.

I never leave early.


It was going through my mind that if they scored a second I was gonna go nuts and embarrass myself/friends so I'd just walk out.
My mate Winston couldn't watch the penalty and sort of buried his head in the wall behind us...relied on the roar of the Villa faithful.
A magic moment at Villa Park!

UTV!

[Damo70]

More balanced reaction to Foster on their forum. "The more I think about it and it's potentially bigger impact to us fans and helping Vile the more it has to be one of the worst single goalkeeping performances ever in a goalkeeping shirt"!

Priceless. I wonder what was the worst single goalkeeping performance ever not in a goalkeeping shirt?

Apparently we are a "bunch of dirty bstds who roll around when touched". And they lost because "the pain killers weren't working" on their front two!

We also have an "arrogant poxy cockney manager".

Actually that is nicer than anything they say about their own manager.

[Damo70]

Can anyone enlighten me on all of these previous occasions they have apparently single handedly rescued us from relegation that they keep going on about?
