I understand a lot of it is about getting in the zone and there isn’t a single goalie on the planet I’d prefer to have in a shoot out but…..deep down do you wish he’d turn it down a notch?

I think he could probably read the room (referee) a bit better.
Oh please feck off

Grow up. If he'd been sent off you'd all be after his blood. The ref was a complete bell end and was looking to send someone off all night. He pushed it right to the edge and only for some stupid rule nobody knew about, he stayed on.

Another day, another ref, he can do what he likes.
Its the miserableness of your posts after a fairly historic win. Just enjoy it for goodness sake, with Villa it doesn’t come around that often. Whatever the ins and outs of the game, its our biggest win in 49 years.
And in terms of growing up, i am a fully grown 50 year old adolescent and I hope I  always will be.

What miserablness? Someone else asked the question, I gave an honest answer.
It doesn’t matter, its a great day to be a Villa supporter.

Is anyone suspended for the semi-final with 2 yellow cards? I assume Emi is ok but there were a fair few booked tonight.

I'm not going to demand we withdraw but we really did not deserve that. Credit to Lille.
FFS, are you are Europhile?  :-[
I agree on the didn’t deserve it but Lille did not make the most of an abject performance by us.

It’s rare that you can have that many players so off it and still get a win, Cash Diaby Luiz McGinn none above 4 out of 10.

Cash only gets at best a 4, having scored the equaliser and a penalty?
Yes he was dreadful except twice.

Yeh but, apart from that, and the other couple of shots, what has he ever done for us?

I've only seen him over the two QF games, but if we are looking for a new right back I wonder if Lille's RB, Tiago Santos would fit the bill. Thought he was very impressive and he's only 21.

Yeah, really impressed with him, energy, aggressive and good on the ball as well.

Uefa Rules..... not sure what it means.

Exceptionally, all yellow cards and pending yellow-card suspensions expire on completion of the play-offs. They are not carried forward to the group stage. In addition, all yellow cards expire on completion of the quarter-finals. They are not carried forward to the semi-finals.

Considering he hasn't played for nearly a month Cash did ok. We'd be out of Europe without him tonight.

The referee spoiled our style of play by booking our GK for legally keeping a ball at his feet in open play.

Totally knocked out all our planning.

Yes, it’s not clear if a player is suspended having accumulated two yellows. Definitely wiped if they only have one.

I was massively impressed with his pen - was convinced that was going out the stadium.

My wife said - have villa missed a pen - and I had to admit its just I saw matty cash was going to take it

Only just seen brief highlights and to sum up:

The ref was terrible.
The commentators were as bad.
We bloody won so who cares how we did it.
