Other Games 2025-26

It was a red which became a red after Chelsea played their face. I hate the behaviour but sometimes I wish Villa were more like it because we'd get far more of those subjective calls.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Nah, VAR would have looked at that regardless of what the players did.

[Ads]

Not a red for me. Proper modern VAR red card. Cynical foul, yes, dangerous? Nah.

[cdbearsfan]

Are replays still a thing in the FA Cup?

Only in the qualifiers.

[curiousorange]

I doubt if it had been the other way around VAR would have insisted on the ref going to the monitor. I'm instinctively opposed to coach challenges or whatever, but I do think we have to force VAR reviews into being looked at equally regardless of status, and that seems the only way to do it.

[Crown Hill]

Yellow for me. VAR at its worst re-reffing the game.

And the red has now ruined the spectacle!

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Well I just don't agree. It seemed like an obvious sort of challenge that VAR would look into. We'd be fuming if someone went in on Kamara like that.

[PeterWithesShin]

99% of the time that's red after a var check.

[PeterWithesShin]

I can just imagine Romero on Youri and people on here sayimg it was only a yellow.

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck sake. Oh well

[Villa Lew]

I thought he had hit the post, unfortunately not.

[martyn ellis]

Orange. 10 minutes in the sin bin, as in rugby union. There are so many different levels of red.

[PeterWithesShin]

Tidy finish, such an odious club though.

[Brazilian Villain]

I doubt if it had been the other way around VAR would have insisted on the ref going to the monitor.

I think that would have been a straight red in a PL game. It was only the 'magic of the Cup' that led to the ref initially giving him a yellow.

[Brend'Watkins]

I am not sure who's the biggest donkey in PL, Delap or Woltemade?

I like Woltemade. I think he’ll be a great player.

They’re both good players who would improve us greatly.
