Aston Villa v Brighton Match Thread

[Smirker]

Ludicrous check. I know it could have benefited us but checks like that are what's wrong with VAR imo.

[Ducksworthy]

I’m back in the hotel now, typically just as Brighton score.

Shall I head back out again?

On yer bike!

How is that not offside

[paul_e]

I'm not convinced the bal lwasn't moving when he took the free kick as well.

[PeterWithesShin]

JJ getting ready to come on.

[Martyn Smith]

Not sure how he wasn't offside there, can someone explain? Can't hear the commentary in the pub

[Chris_Jephcott]

There was a Villa player behind the goal line hidden by the goal.

[PeterWithesShin]

Konsa booked.

[kippaxvilla2]

We are going to get one sent off here aren’t we.

[The Edge]

Again I just don't understand football anymore. That had to be offside surely? And the free kick which set up the goal was bulkshit too.

[devilla]

Yellow for choosing who takes the free kick??

[JUAN PABLO]

Digne looses it too often like that

good to see JJ on

[Martyn Smith]

Far too easily dispossessed there Digne

There was a Villa player behind the goal line hidden by the goal.

That's not why it was given, they gave it as Pedros standing foot was marginally closer to the goal than Fati so the pass was played 'backwards'. I don't agree with that but that's clearly why they didn't disallow it.

[Chris_Jephcott]

That was too easy to take the ball off Digne
