Aston Villa v Boro - Match Thread

[davidb]

Hardly sending off

We going to play 1-4-5-0 now

[Flamingo Lane]

The ref has been looking to balance it up all game.

Well I've just seen the tackle on tv and it was a shocker - utterly stupid, what a wanker.

[German James]

I don't rate Steve Bruce but fuck me, the players are to blame for this bucket of swill!

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Radio Tees...." Keep your heads, we know we can now control this game if we want to".

[Jimbo]

So we'll lose 2000-nil now?

[Villatillidie25]

just seen it. never a red card in a million years but I guess now we hang on for 0-0. Pathetic

[Deano's Mullet]

Gotta be Kodjia or bust now

[Boz]

Another excuse for Bruce now, forgetting they had a long period 11 v 10 and failed to take advantage.

Ridiculous challenge

Ridiculous missed chances

I know you all will but we can't blame Bruce for either of those things

Cant give him credit for Traore either. Either he wins at home against Boro or he doesnt.

I'm sure Punch Face will have some piece of tactical genius up his sleeve

[Villa75]

That tackle by Lansbury is only ever given as a yellow

Only when you make, at least, a vain attempt at a tackle. He just took a swipe at the guy, no pretense of a tackle. Stupidity.

Saves Bruce for another game or two though.

Only one chance, Snodgrass' was a ridiculous miss.  The rest were maybe one in ten if you're lucky.

I don't blame Bruce for those, I blame him for being incapable of getting a dominant side out of our squad.

No excuses, but wasn't it a seond yellow?

[Clark W Griswold]

Lansbury what an asset.

Utter ******. Don't know why he was in the team, fast becoming my joint least favourite in this Villa squad with Richards, even with the rest of the competition.
