Quote from: dave shelley on July 28, 2020, 09:12:38 AMRegarding that Villa side of the nineties and its Irish contingent, they still never got the recognition from the press and mainstream media over here that they deserved. The pages and sports bulletins were always, as now creaming themselves over Manure and Liverpool despite Villa having Ireland's favourite sporting son, the Lord McGrath in their line-up. If I hadn't been a Villa man I would still have found it strange behaviour seeing as how the Villa provided almost half the Irish national team.It might have helped if you could have bought a Villa shirt in Dublin.

Had a quick look at a Bournemouth forum and most accept that one decision, less than halfway through a game with loads of matches remaining, wouldn't necessarily have resulted in their survival. It's just the usual weirdos from round here who can't ever get the time off work to see "their" team in action but never miss a televised Villa game who are obsessing over it. Let them have something else to make their empty lives even more miserable.

I've heard this mentioned a few times but can't see anything apart from eejits on some football forums. Can you point me to any articles?Well we had better re-write history. Our goal against West Germany in the final was clearly on the line and maybe we need to chalk off Maradonna’s hand ball in ‘86.

Has any mainstream media done analysis to compare how many times we were robbed to balance the ghost goal? It need’s a fact check website article!!
That table ain’t right - adding 2 to us would take us to 37.Plus you could add another point as the CP equaliser as the ref blew to stop VAR from being able to review
BBC now reporting that Bournemnouth actually considering a legal challenge because of the Sheff Utd "ghost goal". Perhaps they should look at this first.
