Standard of Refereeing

[OzVilla]

Did we ever get an apology for the end of season screw up at Man Utd last season?

[Goldenballs]

I don't think they'll even bother. They said it was factually out of play, Emery disagreed but accepted it, everyone will move on. We're too nice.

[Halfway to Moseley]

We're too nice.

Exactly this. We don’t kick up a fuss enough.

Not that it would make any difference.

[Villan82]

We were screwed over today. I am so angered by today's decision.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

I get it if the fact the ball goes out actually influenced the goal - like a cross that went out, or a player dribbling past another by taking it out and then scoring - but it had no impact on the actual goal - we didnt gain any form of advantage from it.

You can’t really get more of an advantage than going up the other end and scoring a goal. We kept it in play that allowed us to do that.

Just home. Floods in Wales. Long detour which didn't improve the  mood. I listened to a couple of Villa pods and they said it was 19 secs from Bailey to the goal being scored. That is plenty of time for a team to 'reset' which seems to be the rule. Bloody frustrating and we seem to be on the wrong side of crucial decisions each game, only to be told the next week that the ref got it wrong.

How many times are we going to get done by PGMOL before we do something about it, they do not have conclusive proof the ball was out because there is no camera position to corroborate their decision.
Add to that , the fact that they have exceeded the VAR mandate.

[Mister E]

The important bit is that the linesman (asst ref) on the Witton Lane side was in the other half of the pitch and would not have been able to see whether the ball was in or out anyway, so it was always on the ref to call it; which he didn't. Being half a yard from the corner flag would suggest it was not the start of an attacking phase...
