Warwickshire refs shouldn’t ref Warwickshire teams full stop.

And I think we’ve come the wrong side of him more than most. It’s pretty clear he thoroughly dislikes us!

I'd make him rewatch the Wimbledon vs Walsall playoff final on a loop. That'll teach the bastard.

I was sad for Uncle. How did he play?

I was only half-watching but he didn't do anything of note (or, if he did, I missed it). Came on with half an hour left.

[Somniloquism]

I didn't realise Man City was in Warwickshire. I mean why else was he shit in the FA Cup final for them.

[Le Lapin]

Yes is inexperienced, and he got the decisions wrong on the day, but he got the decisions wrong in Manure's favour. Lots of very experienced refs got the decisions wrong in Manures favour over the years. We need to beat the team and not expect anything from refs in Old Trafford.

[dcdavecollett]

Even competence?

That response that was in progress from PGMOL is a long time in coming….

[aj2k77]

If I worked for another club and the opportunity to help Villa came up I'm afraid I might have to help our beloved Villa.

nah you wouldn't. You'd be a professional and do your job for yourself, your career, reputation and family. We all think we would but most of us aren't corrupt. Or at least we wouldn't risk it all for football as much as we might love our club.

Just want to let everyone know where I am. I’d cheat to give Villa 3 points. Fuck myself, my career and my family.

I would fuck over every team in direct competition with us too in any way that was beneficial to us at any given time. I'd not make it obvious because I'd want it to last as long as possible. There are definitely refs who are biased. It's human nature.

[Crown Hill]

Also as I said for the same logical reason he doesn’t ref Coventry games he shouldn’t ref Villa matches.

As for PGMOL response they will be lawyered up because they won’t want to admit any liability.

[Somniloquism]

Unless the ref was paid off to make the decision and PGMOL were aware, I don't think they can be sued over lost money. Otherwise we would have lots of cases each year.

The PGMOL report of the Man U v Aston Villa should have made interesting reading but it would seem that the game was pretty straightforward with no controversy.  A whitewash if ever I saw one.

Report

Aston Villa missed out on a place in the UEFA Champions League as they had Emiliano Martinez sent off in a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.

Amad and Christian Eriksen were on target at Old Trafford, where Martinez was sent off at the end of the first half after he wiped out Rasmus Hojlund.

Man Utd took a deserved lead when Amad headed home Bruno Fernandes' excellent left-wing centre in the 76th minute.

Eriksen, playing his last game for United, added a second from the penalty spot as the beaten UEFA Europa League finalists signed off with a win that sees them finish 15th.

Villa, though, will have to settle for sixth and a spot in the Europa League after the final-day defeat meant they missed out on the top five on goal difference, despite Newcastle United’s loss to Everton.

How the match unfolded
Martinez made four saves in the opening 10 minutes alone, with Mason Mount twice denied as Man Utd came out of the traps fast.

Amad bundled wide from eight yards and substitute Diogo Dalot crashed an out-swinging shot against the left upright, albeit an earlier offside may have denied him anyway.

Villa's cause was not helped when Matty Cash's slack back-pass was pounced on by Hojlund and Martinez rushed out to bodycheck the United forward, receiving a straight red.

Hojlund nodded home after the restart only to be denied by the offside flag and Casemiro then clipped the outside of the right post. United survived a scare when Morgan Rogers seemingly pipped the ball from the hands of Altay Bayindir and slid into an unguarded goal, but referee Thomas Bramall had already blown for a foul.

The breakthrough finally came when Amad arrived at the back post to head home a stupendous cross from Fernandes.

Amad was involved again when Ian Maatsen clipped the winger inside the area and Fernandes graciously handed the ball to Eriksen, who smashed his penalty straight down the middle in the 87th minute.

Clearly you guys are not an annoyed as I am.  It was a shocking decision which has cost our club millions and if I’m honest I had no idea who he was, but I do now

Yeah but you’re implying you’d want to be physically violent - or if you’re not it seems like you are - it’s a bit much. He fucked up, it’s fucking annoying but that’s what it is.

Whilst I'm not sure that idiot deserves a thread of his own because it give him the fame that Refs these days crave. 

But where's the implying of physical violence?  Could just as much imply that the poster would like to meet him to tell him a few home truths about himself.

Physical violence was my assumption, also. He didn't exactly say to Paul that isn't what he meant, which I would have straight away if it wasn't.

baddowvillans you are very creative and verbose at those early hours in the morning.
