Just seen a different angle, it should have been a penalty anyway

It can’t be a foul and therefore can’t be a penalty if the attacker is offside.

The reason he was offside is because he was being fouled.

Replays show the grapple before the ball is crossed in

You can argue that until your blue in the face it wasn’t a penalty & Watkins would have missed anyway.

We played really poorly at times and really well. We deserved to take something from that game. Hourihane needs to not complain about being dropped because he was awful. Trezeguet is the one of the most wasteful players I can remember playing for us. 4 defeats in 5 now. Not good at all.

We are decent. 

We are soooo much better than last season.

We are getting better.

All is good.

Shades of the ‘70’s  is uncanny
But I’ll be fucked waiting 5 years to win the league and 6 to win be European Champions.   8)

That is me done for ! When we are eventually allowed back into grounds i will not be going while this VAR is in operation .Last season the times i thought we had scored and then had to sit and wait what  seemed a age while some bloke sat in a little room miles away decides someone's heel is offside or somebody's arm is offside. It got to the point when i  did not even cheer for fear VAR would chalk it off. Since the lockdown and this season it is even worse.In the last three matches alone we have had VAR chalk off a goal after 40 seconds at Arsenal, had a penalty given against Brighton and then overturned and Watkins goal tonight disallowed by a elbow .Chuck in the pen United got for fouling Konsa and i have had enough .Tonight ,just like against Brighton instead of being excited at getting a pen or a goal i sat there thinking this is the Villa it will be overturned .To hell with VAR

We’re improving.
It’s a tough defeat again but in comparison to last season we’re going places.
But VAR Wow!
True (I guess / hope). I m so frustrated at the moment that it takes some time before i can see the positives.

Dean has to make a decision with the defence and shake things up because we're shipping goals like last season. i'd like to see someone dropped if he's got the bottle to do it. Defence cost us the game not VAR, or watkins miss. midfield poor. Grealish doing his party tricks and trying to beat half their team again. last season deja vu indeed.  I wouldn't mind so much but west ham were crap, really poor imo. Them being 5th is worthy of an episode of Arthur C Clarke's mysterious world (one for the kids etc..). Utter arse overall.

Two really soft goals, but have to disagree it’s anything like last season. We absolutely dominated that game, we never dominated any games like that last season that I can remember. A couple of sitters and a penalty missed, so architects of our downfall to an extent, but VAR did deny us a draw that was more than deserved.
On VAR in general, the absolute worst element of it, as Watkins scored, I celebrated, my 10 year old sat there and said ‘naw dad VAR will rule it out’. That’s before the replay. Totally taking the joy out of football for kids, that’s the worst bit.

smart kid. to be honest, the commentators were calling it. If they disallow stuff like the bamford goal, then Watkins was deffo offside by those standards.

He reads the game really well for his age to be fair. But to be honest since last season, I think he expects every goal to potentially go to VAR and be disallowed, that for me is an absolute tragedy in terms of what made me addicted to football as a kid, the thrill of a goal going in for the villa. the misuse of the technology is absolutely ripping the heart out of the game

PGMOL saying foul on Watkins wasn't a clear and obvious error......

PGMOL is a back scratching, corrupt cartel. Lying, cheating fucks.

I think you will find a number of goals have been disallowed  or penalties not given because of an infringement earlier in the play. Foul came before offside.

Carragher and Neville have shown beyond any doubt it should have been a penalty. Watkins only gets his arm offside after he tries to get out of the stranglehold their player had him in.

We can scream injustice all we like, the bottom line is we have now conceded 11 goals against Leeds, Soton, Brighton and West Ham and in every game missed some absolute sitters. That’s just fecking poor. We’ve utterly squandered our great start. Big game now against Newcastle.

The hilarity of PGMOL wankers - not giving Ollie a pen because it wasn't a "clear and obvious" error.  Yet an offside that require three minutes of drawing lines is.  And the decision to overturn the one against Brighton was.  You couldn't fucking make it up.
