Putting my head on the block here.
I think it was a penalty. A soft one, certainly, but a penalty non the less.
If we were in the same position we’d be fuming if it wasn’t given to us
The big give away for me is JJ doesn’t seem overly surprised.
When you’re running at pace the slightest clip can send you down.

referees should be looking at the position of bot players: JG is looking to cross Ramsey; Ramsey is trying to avoid any contact. It was a 'won' penalty not a 'committed foul'. It's manufactured - no foul / goalkick.

Its not a penalty, not really worth the debate, but its a dive, Steven Wonder could see that, end of.

It's worth the debate if the 'system' learns something from it. I agree, it's not a pen but let's understand why it's not a pen: Grealish was clever - as he was when he played for us - but the ref system should have learned by now how to adjudge a genuine from a manufactured penalty event.

 What's all this 'Greasy Apologist' bollocks. If some people think it's a penalty, fair enough. Bit of growing up is needed.

I don't think it's a foul, and we know from his time with us Jack will go down whenever there is contact. But in the modern game it probably is a penalty, although considering some of the decision that are, and aren't, given, who knows for sure these days.

I've seen players booked recently for simulation.The ref,unfortunately favoured the cheats.

I start to wonder which team you support mate as you seem to spend all your time sniping at Villa fans KRO.

KRO? Grow up.

We were so passive first half , barely making up the numbers.  We have to believe in what we are doing. They are a good team but by jove they let you have attacking opportunities if you have a go

Not for the first time have we completely failed to turn up first half. I'd go so far as to say it's becoming a bit of a pattern.

[PaulWinch again]

I am definitely one calling for Coutinho, Duran, McGinn, and probably Moreno to start the next game. But one word of caution, I think it is easier to come on and make an impact, than it is to start. Not saying the changes shouldn’t be made, but it’ll be tougher for them.

[Clampy]

I thought it was a dive at the time and I've seen it a few times since and I still think it was a dive. Some people didn't think so. It dosent make them 'Greasy Apologists'.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

As a fan base we know more than anyone what he’s like, Grealish bent the rules and more often than not initiated contact on a regular basis when he played for us and we lapped it up, I know it’s what a being a fan is all about but he’s now not going to do it when he’s playing for someone else. In its current state it’s no surprise VAR either didn’t check it or saw nothing wrong.

I missed the majority of the first half but was surprised to read a few thinking we were still in danger of relegation on the match thread, I get it was shit but we were playing a team who’ve got the best there is and are perennial champions.

[Three Spires Villa]

It’s a dive, it’s not a pen, even Chris Sutton says it 😆.
He dived he cheated, he doesn’t play for Villa, he cheated. We would have lost but fuck him!

100%

[Bad English]

Greasy doesn't play for us any more; therefore he is a diving cheat. When he played for us he won penalties or free kicks because he was unstoppable. It is not rocket science.

[Gareth]

That’s the second time I’ve seen Jack dive, the first was at West Ham the day we stayed up….lots of soft free kicks / pens etc but those are the only two true dives I’ve seen.

Disgraceful first half, decent second half.

Chambers was truly awful, Bailey v v poor

Hopefully Mings is fit next week, get McGinn back in for JJ, Duran for Bailey and give crowd a reason to get into the game

[Risso]

The defending for the first and second goals was as dismal as last week. Absolutely pathetic.
