Michael Oliver v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Bobby Boy]

I'd like to ask everybody to give a little extra to tough guy McTominay on Saturday, was so brave in flying in on Ramsey when he was stuck in the corner then giving him a mouthful while he was down on the ground.

This will have to wait until next season. He's suspended.

That's been posted before. I believe it's rather old. The Expedia sponsorship was about ten years ago.

His fondness for Man Utd must still be a thing.

The Fiver's amusing take on it plus letter o' the day.

The defending for the manure goal was amateurish!

Almost as amateurish as the VAR decision?

Certainly could have done better but I thought it was an excellent goal from their pov

Couldn't afford to give a bloodied Konsa a helping hand or a VAR check late on.. but no issue smiling with Sir Alex pre-match and throwing an arm around Fraud.

Color me shocked.

I was going to post earlier, during the game I saw the assistant Ref " touch " their full back a couple of times as he was about to take a throw in.
I thought, maybe they are friends
Now i see this picture Hmmm

I clocked that too. I mentioned it last night on a whattsapp group. I thought it was a bit weird as well.

The referee for Saturday

The referee for Saturday

Is this real? Although it really wouldn't surprise me. FFS

[Risso]

Nope, completely fake.

[LeeB]

Is it a prerequisite for prospective professional referees to carry a look of a slightly hapless soul?

[Bad English]

Can anybody give me the name of a Premier League referee that would have us all feeling confident for a game like this? I never see anybody post "Oh it's so and so, ace, they'll be fair and not take any shit from Newton Heath, Chelsea, and the like".
