Quote from: Risso on January 21, 2021, 10:27:45 AMWill it just be the one game touchline ban Dean gets? I think so, as they were two yellow cards - albeit one immediately after the other - rather than a straight red.

He stays in the stands at VP anyway doesn't he? Or atleast he spends alot of time there, probably for a better view.

Only thing in Dean's favour is that if the "rule" will be interpreted in such a way going forward then it truly will bring the game into disrepute. Expect a rule clarification to be issued shortly. Have we any grounds to challenge the yellow for McGinn? Luiz deserved a yellow and I think everyone at the time presumed he had got it, not McGinn.

But on the other hand I would like to see him in front of a full house at Villa Park and forced to listen to what we think of him.It's a growing list, Brian. Personally I look forward to Michael Oliver appearing a full Villa Park.

Smith has taken another step up in my opinion after last night. When we complain about decisions going the way of the top 6, it is precisely because they have managers who are prepared to complain in the press and put officials under pressure. Ferguson did it, Wenger did it, Mourinho, Klopp and Guardiola all do it - other fans hate them for it, but you can't deny they get what they want more often than not.Smith is a decent man, but last night proved to me more than ever than he also has that mean streak in him that top managers need. We can't get back the points we were robbed of last night, but the next time there is a marginal decision in one of our games this will be in the ref's mind.
