Norwich City - 0 Aston Villa Youth - 2 Post Match Thread

[The Edge]

Ramsey's goal was a cracker, and well done the referee for playing the advantage after Watkins was fouled - it would have been understandable if he'd blown, having seen no-one near in support of Ramsey and on the half way line.

It was a lovely goal and well done Ramsey for having the confidence to make that run.  Having said that, if you were anything to do with Norwich you'd be furious that those players around him didn't get anything like a tackle in on him.  That was very poor at this level.

I'm still seething with the England players for not putting in a challenge on Maradona when he scored that half decent goat in the World Cup.

Who you trying to kid?

Nobody. I'm just making the point that sometimes players go on a run that's top drawer and should be appreciated for it. I've never heard anyone say anything negative about the defending for the brilliant solo run that Giggs went on in that semi final at Villa Park. It's just accepted as a wonderful iconic goal.

Erm, read your other post again.

I was being facetious about the England players not tackling Maradona. There's no way anyone could have tackled him such was his ability in that moment.The other poster was saying that Norwich should have tackled Ramsey I'm making the point (not very well) that sometimes a skilfull player in full flight is almost impossible to stop and credit should be given to Ramsey in this case rather than focus on Norwich's failure to stop him.

Jesus mate. You typed 'goat' instead of 'goal' and all of the responses have been puns on that!

Funny shit.

Is there any need to be so gruff?

100% David Seaman fault 
He literally crouches down for the ball to go directly over his head
such bad keeping I thought he was match fixing at the time

Alan Hutton v Blues. In a local Derby how none of them tramps didn’t just hack him down is criminal. Never mind.

The ever-neutral Paul Franks said they should have.

Not sure how to respond to this

I’m on the horns of a dilemma

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. The grass isn't always greener you know.

Hard cheese.

Just about to watch last night's MOTD including Tuesday night's games and, in the studio, heart sinks like a stone.. it's Danny Murphy...

Ok, time to hear about how awful Villa are...

[eamonn]

Actually Villa got a double-whammy of analysis - their love for Matty Cash and eulogising over Ramsey's goal. So...respect.
