Leeds United vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[BC54 VFC]

So happy...the 35-year hoodoo has finally been broken!! Since we arrived in Shrewsbury in November 1990 we'd never seen the Villa win an away game when we'd been to watch them at the Beacon, Copthorne...the last debacle being at Man United on Boxing Day 2023. We can go there more often now 

A college girlfriend from The Mount used to take me there. Happy days.

Interesting; it's a good pub. Know The Mount well; delivered, with my then 16-yo elder son, telephone directories to every house many years ago. We definitely got the short straw, all those steps, and long driveways

I think part of the problem is Keepers expect to get the foul with any contact in that situation when they really shouldn’t

As well as a clearly poor and slow pitch, did anyone else think the the poser ref kept getting in the way of both players and ball.

Yeah me. He doesn't seem to run right to left like most and is often too central in my opinion. And he's a big unit which doesn't help - in fact it may be the problem. He seemed to be really blowing when he was trying to explain the VAR input to the disallowed goal.

DCL claiming it hit his chest and being laughed at.

He’s telling the truth. One of the reason DCL picks up injuries so often is because his chest is in the wrong place.
