Lucas Digne - Signed

[Flamingo Lane]

I wonder if Mings saw the diamond stud in Digne's ear as they were walking out, and thought 'that's not right, but none of my business...'

Well, if he did I would that say was petulant and unprofessional, but very unlikely given Tyrone is such great guy and loves the Villa so much.

Was Gerrard asked about this afterwards by the press at all?

[Flamingo Lane]

Not seeking to blame McGinn for this nonsense, but even so, it's not the best thing that might have happened in the first couple of minutes of his captaincy.

[Jim Bradley]

I'm confused. The BBC originally reported that he was off the pitch when the first goal was scored to remove jewellery and later they changed their same post match report to say this was because he had blood on his shirt. Then on MOTD he's clearly on the pitch marking one of their players at the back post? Maybe out of position but definitely on the pitch. A bit of scapegoating going on methinks...

I think he was off the pitch when we conceded the corner from which they scored, because the twat thought it ok to wear jewellery on a football pitch.

[Mooro]

Is this right? I couldn’t tell from the highlights I saw. I’m not a fan of Digne at all but giving him a small amount of benefit of the doubt etc…

[London Villan]

Off the pitch when we conceded the corner.
On the pitch when they scored.

[eamonn]

Yep, you can clearly see him off the pitch by the subs bench in the very first bit of highlights as Bournemouth attack down his side and win a corner.

[SoccerHQ]

He was on the field for the actual corner.

It's all very amateurish though. If Ref had issue he should've spotted it in the tunnel anyway and told him to take it off then rather than minute into the game.

The players fault no one else.

He isn't very good ,much prefer Targett another disaster made by the club.

For years it has been mandatory that regarding players wearing jewelry, the jewelry if deemed to be dangerous to himself or opponents must either remove it or have it taped up so that any danger is nullified.
