I'm just looking forward to a time when we play games in the metaverse.

And it's Avatar Villa... we're by far the greatest meme, the world...

You're gonna get your f**king Jpeg kicked in

And it's Aston Villa, Aston Villa NFT. We're by far the biggest blockchain, the metaverse has ever seen.

Not wanting to start a new thread but I was pissed off with Var yesterday.  I assume they check all goals for potential issues but was pleased that we weren't left hangin' too long.  My big issue is with the Ref's decision to award the uncontested drop ball when the ball hit him to Brentford.  There was no way he knew they had total possession of the ball it was 50/50 and should have been a contested drop ball shouldn't it?

I'm not sure they're allowed to award a contested drop ball, they have to decide who has possession and award it to them.

When (and why) did they change the rule that the ref was part of the field of play, and so if the ball hit them it was tough luck?

The law changed summer 2019. There are no more contested drop balls, and with hitting the ref, it's basically whoever touched it last gets it back. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropped-ball#Award

I owe the ref an apology. It’s a rule change like a lot of rule changes that I wasn’t aware of. Another rule change or, it appears to be a rule change is foul throws. Has there been a change or is it at the discretion of the officials?

If you're seeing a high incidence of foul throws  Brend', it's because the officials either don't recognise them or can't be bothered to award them. Boils my piss as there's nearly always one at least per game.  You can't misinterpret a foul throw, FFS!

I think it changed around the same time they changed the handball rule in the build up to a goal - essentially not wanting goals to be awarded where they're the result of an inadvertant handball, the ref inadvertantly getting in the way, etc

That sort of makes sense, it's just annoying whan a player from either team passes it to a team mate, it scuffs the ref on the way to them, and then they stop the game anyway.

Agreed. It also took a bit of football tradition away. I always loved it when the ref was described as "football furniture"!

Because I am a sad bastard, I have just watched a football match and concentrated on the the natural position of the players arms.

When they all walked or run their arms moved away from their bodies in a forward and backwards motion. Not one player walked or run with his arms straight down by his side. I kid you not, have a look for yourselves!!

What is this 'natural' position crap I hear every week from the Premier League big knobs. The only unnatural positions I see is when a defender puts his arms behind his back when going in for a block instead of protecting the family jewels.

Villa get more than their fair share of penalties awarded against them for having arms.

This 'natural' position of your arms lark needs to be clearly defined, or better still, scrapped altogether. Any fool knows the difference between a deliberate and accidental handball. At least we did before VAR.

Natural, my arse.  >:(

I don't understand why the 3rd goal wasn't offside.  When he shot, Joelinton is clearly offside.
