Manchester Utd v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[cdbearsfan]

Off the top of my head I remember these instances of us being cheated or robbed against these fukkers.
1. Vidic not being sent off at Wembley.
2. Bruno winning a penalty for falling over clutching his leg after stamping on Konsas foot.
3. A goal disallowed in the cup at their place a couple of years ago when they looked for a reason to disallow the goal but couldn't find one so they kept going back until they eventually found something.
4. Today.
I'm sure there's many more and I'd love someone to put a video together that proves what a cheating low life football club they actually are. I hate them with every fibre of my being.

1. We didn't manage a shot on target in that match or the next 2 Wembley days out.

That makes it OK does it? And are you sure we played 3 matches at Wembley and never had a shot on target?

We had three shots on target against Man U in 2010, three on target against Chelsea the same year and yet another three shots on target against Liverpool during our next Wembley trip in 2015.

I'd have thought itbrvilla would have at least remembered three of the shots on target... as they went in.

Fernandes I think it was kicking Konsa at Villa Park, going down and getting a pen. The list is endless.

Yeah I put Bruno. It's the same player.

I only know him as Fernandes or Rat face, sorry.

We don't talk about Bruno.

It's insanely frustrating, but the referee's human and made a mistake. I imagine he's feeling pretty shit this evening.

The club's right that he shouldn't have been in that position and a more experienced official was required. The statement seems entirely reasonable.

Anyway, I'm choosing to break the habit of a lifetime and look on the bright side. Already looking forward to winning the Europa League next year.

In most cases I'd agree but this mistake was a lot worse than that. This isn't a 'human error' style judgement call that, with hindsight, he got wrong. This was him either not knowing or forgetting that the guidance in situations like this is to let the move play out and then make a decision. He blew up as Rogers is taking the shot, there's absolutely no reason for him to do that and there is specific guidance to not do it.

The statement is absolutely reasonable in context, we have a legitimate argument that that this could cost us anything between 10-20% of our revenue for next season, if anything we deserve credit for taking the "lets not have this happen again" route.

Fucking Man Utd. It’s like athletes foot. A couples times a season it rears its ugly head and  pisses me off for a few hours.

It most likely was a heat of the moment mistake, just like Emi's. I reckon both are spending the night thinking "why the fuck did I do that".

[VillaTim]

Forget about today basic defending this season has cost us, for example Nottingham Forest away Cash kicks it away and it doesn't matter what happens today we qualify for the Champions league. It's the constant playing ourselves into danger that has cost us this season not what happened today

Basic defending can't exist when you don't have leadership and communication and trust at the back . Every time Emerys pet player Torres plays we revert to benny hill defending and so it was again today . As soon as the team sheets out we all go oh not again , was same v palace at Wembley and here we are again today .

Others that come immediately to mind:

• The two games in 20/21 season when Pogba dives in both and wins penalties. Both involving Dougie Luiz I think. Both put them ahead in the games in question.
• Ashley Young diving for them in his first game against us. 2011/12 I think it was.
• the last time we beat them at their place (Hause goal) the penalty they got immediately after we scored was a nothing penalty. Luckily ratface missed.

You can also add that whenever they’re not winning, an inordinate amount of time is added thus allowing them to get their last minute winners or equalizers.

On the bright side, I thought our kit looked nice.

Its first appearance is in a shit show of a game. I hope we never see it again.

But I know we will. I hate it already.

[cdbearsfan]

It belongs in the bin with the yellow kit that got us knocked out of the cup at Liverpool that time.

The thing I don't get is, what's the point in having VAR you can't look the referee's decision even if he's blown his whistle?

exactly , they blow the whistle for a goal and then the goal gets chalked off with VAR overturning it , its ridiculous .

Yep, it’s crazy, just bonkers and written by idiots.

Looking on the bright side they're stuck with Amorim now. They haven't qualified for Europe for the first time in donkeys years and their ground is a rat infested dump.

Yeah where it once , didn't work , set fire to it. Move on .
Agree .

[PeterWithesShin]

If the goal happened while the ball was live, VAR can check. The ball was dead today, so VAR can't. Continually blaming VAR when VAR was used correctly is pointless.

[Pat McMahon]

Agreed. One strike and your out.
