West Ham United vs Aston Villa STAYING UP!!!! - Post Match Thread

[dave shelley]

Regarding 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.

Still pretty much the same although a second season in the Premier League might see a couple more sports shops push the boat out and stock a few.

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.

Absolutely. Especially Small Heath fans. I don't think I've watched a live Blues match on TV  apart from playing us for probably 10 years +, but they seem to have an encycolpedia like recall button for every Villa game especially since lockdown.

I don't care what anyone says, I love them!!

It's annoying me now, all this ghost goal stuff. If we'd stayed up my more than 1 point, I bet there wouldn't be any of this nonsense!

[purpletrousers]

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!!

I'm reading that Bournemouth are considering taking action against Hawkeye for the 'ghost' Sheff Utd goal.

 

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.

Thierry Henry and Ireland being yet another example.

West Germany's second was offside.

Every German I have met say England won fairly in 1966.

The score was 3.2

There was an article available yesterday on Newsnow.  I think the Daily Express may have claimed it.  A table of VAR decision changes if VAR hadn't been invented.  Villa gained 2 points and finished above Brighton. We finished 16th, gaining an extra couple of points but they don't tell you what the mistakes were.

Cheers Leeg.

Wolves in the Champions League? I’ve suddenly developed a new found appreciation of the merits of VAR.

[stevo_st]

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

Yeah it's very dubious. Bournemouth finished on 34.

BBC now reporting that Bournemnouth actually considering a legal challenge because of the Sheff Utd  "ghost goal".  Perhaps they should look at this first.

I think I remember seeing the table before Sundays games
