Newcastle v Villa post match

[brontebilly]

Let’s be honest if it were the other way round most of us would have been vociferously calling for a red, so not sure we can get too pious about the reaction.

None of our players seemed too surprised with the decision.

[astonvilla82]

It wasn't a red & at best Taylor guessed the decision, was influenced by the Newcastle players & crowd. But I wouldn't be surprised if any appeal is rejected. They make it up as they go along.

And that's the problem, they won't disagree because it's makes their mates look like complete idiots, referees are so far up thier own arses and not just this level, it time for Emery to take off the nice side of his character

[The Edge]

Dermot thinks appeal will be rejected. He also feels it was a red

Can’t quite believe Sky still pay him for his ‘opinion’ that is always clearly briefed directly from PGMOL…he is one of the chief arse coverers.  But whilst he is clearly wrong on it being a red he is probably right that it won’t be rescinded.

Sky should terminate his contract because he failed to fulfill his duty.

Hahahaha! I’m not sure his family deserves a clean water supply after what he’s done.

Definitely. A heinous crime.

I’ve got no problem contesting the decision but there’s absolutely zero Chance that’s getting overturned but as long as it doesn’t add another match ban for appealing we’re no worse off and we’ve made a case

Conversely, I think there little chance it WON'T get overturned.  The rolling of his left ankle is the perfect "get out of jail" card for both VAR and the ref.  It's a mitigating circumstance that could have been missed at the time, and which allows them to say it should have been a yellow without losing too much face.

Hope you’re right but I think you should prepare yourself for disappointment mate

Some refereeing decisions from the first half:
- McGinn goes shoulder to shoulder with Gordon and cleanly wins out because he’s too strong for Gordon. Free kick to Newcastle.
- Guimaraes kicks thin air and falls over. Free kick to Newcastle.
- Rogers cleanly takes the all in a strong challenge, the ball going into touch midway in their half. Free kick to Newcastle near halfway line.
- from said free kick Cash is wrestled to the ground. Free kick to Newcastle near to edge of our penalty area.
- the sending off.

One of the most home crowd influenced debacles of a refereeing performance in a very long time. He improved in the second half for some reason but he’d already given them the match by then.

Gordon blatantly pulls back one of our lads, no yellow. After plenty of fouls too.

Anyway onto Brighton.

The forearm smash from Bruno G on Tielemans just before the chance that Martínez saved from the Italian gambling bloke.  There were LOADS more examples. Anyway, like you say, onwards.

Isn’t that what VAR should be for, to see the mitigating circumstances and advice the referee accordingly.

[VillaTim]

Don't think our players protested as they didn't see the ankle slip . Same as me my first reaction was clear red but once you're seeing the slo mo and cause and effect it's not a red , or a yellow .

[jon collett]

Looks like Monchi and Vidagany doubling down in a concerted effort on X!

[jon collett]

And this is probably what prompted it:

JHON Duran has lost his appeal over the sending-off at Newcastle and will now serve a three-match ban. Villa ‘surprised and disappointed’ by the decision. More @MirrorFootball shortly.

He lives in Banbury too, the cvnt. Probably has his own well.

Just watched the highlights MOTD for the first time. The fact that all three of them including the King of Geordies Alan Shearer agreed it wasn't a red card is conclusive for me. Durans left ankle gives way which was pivotal as to how he tumbled to his left which made contact with the defender unavoidable. It's so out of character to see Unai have a go at the officials but he's probably had enough now of tight decisions going against us. Things like  non penalty at Forest and now this are having a big influence on our season. We're due a couple of favourable decisions now.
