Aston Villa vs Juventus post-match thread.

Juventus paid the Terry’s chocolate orange.

Is the European VAR the same as here? As in they only intervene in cases of a clear and obvious error? Because the challenge was right in front of the ref and he gave the goal straight away.

Unless it's a bit like the Premier League previously when some decisions get left knowing that VAR will correct it for them?  Because honestly, that is a shockingly shit decision.  If that's a foul, then 50/50 headers will become a thing of the past.  If Carlos can't jump like that, then there is no possible way to challenge a goalkeeper.

Win in Leipzig and I think we'll finish top 8.

[Smithy]

I'm guessing the ref gave the foul and VAR agreed, not clear at all watching on tv.

Good performance defensively. Kamara was excellent, makes a huge difference.

It looked to me like he gave the goal? Edit - I mean he pointed directly at the centre circle, which I guess COULD be him signalling a free kick in that direction?

We are unbeaten in two.  Small green shoots.

Haven't seen it yet, but the unaminous opinion on the Rangers forum is that we were f*cking robbed by a bullshit decision.

Seen it in slow motion straight away and thought that's a goal normal contact between Rogers and keeper (edited)it was Carlos

Cheating bastard ref. That’s a goal all day long

If we are in three I’ll be happy, tough game this weekend.

Cheating referee bribing ******. Even SHA agrees Villa were cheated.

Getting fed up of watching us slow down when on the counter attack and passing back to keeper when on the edge of their box. Same shit. Surely that can't be a tactical choice given how well it worked for us last season?

[Rigadon]

What is the matter with some of you? It is NEVER a foul.  Not in a million years .

[taylorsworkrate]

Pretty ordinary performance against a mediocre team. Understandable considering recent form that it was safety first.

Thought Kamara was very good.

[Mellin]

Hutton trying not to say "we" but keeps dropping it in. Loves the Villa.

I’m sure it’s linked to a lack of confidence.

[PaulWinch again]

It’s the right way at the moment, we need to get a solid foundation again and then build the attacking sharpness in.
