Michael Oliver v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Villatillidie25]

What game were you watching….?! Yes we were robbed. But bar about 10mins in the first half we battered them for the whole match. Yes there were some misplaced passes but there was a lot of cb good football.

(Forgot to quote. Replying to earlier poster who gave everyone 4 out of 10 basically)

Fuck off Utd. The whole rotten shitting, cheating bunch of assholes. A Europa League club that still gets treated to most of the debatable decisions. I'm surprised they didn't get there token penalty today too. Shit club, shit fans, with the shittest side they've had in decades. Just...fuck off. I'd rather lose to City.
When they drop the officials off home from the team bus, I hope the fucking bus is still moving.

We played well. Lets twat them at the weekend and laugh when Boro knock them out. And if we've got any sense we'll unplug every VAR monitor in the ground on Saturday. Because regardless of anything, that decision took almost four minutes, which completely ground the game to a halt, took out all the momentum we had at that point. Stupid, pointless, shithouse, rigged technology. Scrap it. It's ruining the game, particularly as anything remotely borderline (this actually wasn't, it was a shite decision) gets given to the Super League 6 (only two of whom are actually decent at the moment) anyway.

Does El Ghazi do anything else except shoot when he gets the ball on the edge of the box. He must have more goals for Villa than assists.

[AlexAlexCropley]

The only infringement in our non goal was Cavani for blatant gamesmanship and should have been booked

[john2710]

I said to my Son before the game that we wouldn't be allowed to win. It fucking stinks.

We'll batter the bastards on Saturday.

[Smithy]

Just seen the BBC match report who say we only had 2 shots on target, and 4 in total? That's not right, surely? Off the top of my head I can think of Buendia's shot, mcginn and Cash all drawing saves from De Gea? Plus Wakins off the bar and El Ghazi at the end - and I'm sure there were others I can't remember now as I'm still suffering the red mist...

They spent about a minute and 4 replays to try and rule it out for offside from Konsas header.

Then they spent about a minute and 4 replays trying to rule it out for Watkins touching it on the way.

Then they spent about a minute and 4 replays trying to rule it out for an Ings handball.

You could feel the desperation.

[Richard E]

Let’s face it. We all knew - not feared or suspected, knew - that Man United would get the benefit of a game changing wrong decision during tonight’s match even before a ball was kicked.

If that had been at the other end you know VAR wouldn’t even have looked at it.

[darren woolley]

We were definitely cheated tonight they really didn't want us to win I hope we smash them on Saturday.

[Nev]

I said to my mate in the pub earlier, I don't mind getting beaten as long as it's fair.

Fat chance.

[Stu82]

Just when I thought I couldn't hate them and their sycophants anymore, I am proved wrong again.

[Villatillidie1982]

If Konsa's nose was bleeding, why was that not a penalty?

[Cliftonville Villlain]

Yes we wasted chances but it really doesn't matter. When we score they'll simply chalk it off or award them their customary penalty. We only won there last time around because that dickhead missed the penalty.

100% this. Which begs the real question of them all; what was the 'clear and obvious' error that required Oliver's decision to be overturned? Anybody? Anyone?

They kept going until they saw what they needed to see. It was plainly obvious. I think the FA should enforce a review system similar to the NFL and NHL. You pick out and focus what you're reviewing ie. handball, offside, etc.. the entire build up and all of the shenanigans beyond that are inconsequential. It makes it far to easy to breed corruption. Case and point today. Take a look and see where Oliver was standing for our goal.. hard to say he didn't see what happened in real time.

5 out of the SKY 6 into the Fourth Round.. who would want it any other way!
