Aston Villa vs Sheffield United Post-Match Thread

How is he not interfering when he tries to get a touch on the initial shot?

I said he's probably not not interfering if he's stood offside.

But he was both.  Offside AND interfering.  And he kicked the ball out of Kalinic's hands, or at the very least, went in studs up.  Goal should not have stood.

Blimey was the linesman actually in the away end for that goal?! Ref will get the stick but how has he not flagged for a) Sharp moving his foot towards the ball from the inital shot and b) dangerous play when he kicks it out of Kalinic's hands.

Very poor.

Yesssssss! What a comeback. Lots to improve on but character from the boys was amazing. Thank you to all the fans, especially the ones who didn’t give up on us. What a night at villa park

And not forgetting a huge congratulations to Tammy on his 20 goal haul. 👏🏼

Peter Withe will not be pleased after his next.

Sorry, but you simply can not compare 20 goals in the first division with  20 in this, awful, division.

You can, but the swift conclusion would be that they're easier to come by down here.

But apart from that it was a perfectly legitimate goal.

Might be wrong but think just before the second Kodj went on mazy run and seemed to be taken out but ref deemed it a dive (although waved play on rather than stop play and book him) so if my timing is right that can be added to the collection.

It looked like the defender clotheslined Kodjia i.e. shoved his forearm across his throat but apparently that's OK with refs at this level.

Mings stamped on Madine in the build up then they lost it temporarily so it should’ve been bought back.

Was that then, when he ended up on the deck outside their box? I thought he should've been stronger. Also, first half, cross come in from the left, and he seemed* more concerned with attempting to win a penalty than with potentially burying a header.
*from a shit vantage point 100+yards away

Hahahah...I was wondering why the Sheffield fans were booing him. Has he done stuff against them in the past or is he generally dislike in Football?

I'm not 100% their first was wholly over the line either and when I get to see it again I will take note of the referee's position to see if he was guessing.

It was a good 6 inches over.

I have the feeling that not for the first time in your life you may have overestimated your measurement of 6 inches.

Didn't they have the goal line technology watch thingy on?

Some rum induced thoughts at 12:40

1. Jedinak is finished at this level.
2. Whelan is not finished....he came on and raised the tempo and allowed Hourihane some freedom.
3. Hourihane pisses me off. He is a bit of an enigma and does not dominate a game like he should.
4. McGinn had his worse game since he joined us...but it’s still miles better than many.
5. The most heart in our team come from Mcginn and two player who aren’t even ours.
6. Tyron Mings, who I have decided that I now love, has already caught  the Villa bug that has infected Tammy. We need this kid to stay fit and move us forward.

To claw a result from that game was brilliant tonight. For 80 mins we were shite.
Now, we MUST,MUST build on that take some belief that we can drag ourselves into the playoff positions, that is a minimal requirement for this team.

[Mellin]

I’m calling it now.
I fucking love Tyrone Mings.

My thoughts as well. Fucking player.
