Villa Vs City Post Match Thread

[Marvin]

You weren't alone, no matter what the Villa player did, it was still idiotic, and had it cost us a goal, I'd have happily slated him for it, it annoyed me that he was waiting for the corner with a stupid grin like a little kid who'd nicked the last biscuit, just as well nothing came from it.

He should have been booked for that. Ungentlemanly conduct. Thought he was, but match reports didn't mention it

The Villa player ? Why should he have been booked ? he threw the ball towards Hart who f**ked up, Hart should have just gone behind the line, picked the ball up, and got on with a quick goal kick, instead tried to control it, and gifted them a goal scoring opportunity, idiotic in my view.

Just hope we get karma in the home game, that **** goes down injured, them all asking we put the ball out, fuck that, we go attack and score the winner

Getting a goal kick isn't possession back, the villa cheat wanted to benefit from the 'head injury' which was likely just to wast time. Lesson learned, if the opposition want the ball kicking out aim for their corner flag.

 

[yeseye]

That was a banana skin game and we didn't get beat. But we were so wasteful with the opportunities we got.

I had a bit of a meltdown when Joe did that stupid thing near the end of the game. Why didn't he just let the ball go out for a goal kick.

A bit of urgency maybe to keep the momentum. I think Joe put the ball out from open play when insomnia was injured, so why should he then settle for a goal kick? That pineapple headed **** knew exactly what he was doing as he ran towards Joe after throwing it back and only the fact that he's so shit, he might have scored from the corner, cunts.

Shouldn't of been booked, but it was very unsportsmanlike behaviour, we had the ball, put it out and he deliberately made it awkward for us when he should of given us simple/easy possession back

You're going to get games whereby you don't win. And all our supposed tactical know all as supporters (of which amounts to conjecture, hindsight and often cock-all) usually reinforces the reason none of us are good enough to even manage a half decent football team, never mind the quality of players that most teams possess in the PL. Sometimes you're gonna have to take a point rather than three and move on. The way certain people get on their high horses about who should have been played or subbed etc. really pisses me off at times.

I know it's only comments and moire often than not hindsight, but it comes out from certain people on such a regular basis, that my only suggestion can be 'get out of the job that you weren't really meant to be doing and earn plenty of money and accolade at what you think you're so good at'. Why the fuck are you still doing the wrong job, when you're clearly more suited to mange my club? Perhaps you're wasting you're talent.

Something tells me I'm not gonna hear too many success stories about this. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong.

One thing is for sure, next time we play these brummie twats.............lessons have to be have learnt.

A referee with even half a brain would have given it as a foul throw, given that both his feet were on the pitch and he let go of the ball from in front of his head (only the 3 reasons it was a foul throw tbf). To deliberately throw it awkwardly and then charge him down when he is supposed to be just giving the ball back is a cunts trick and I think everyone knows it. It's pretty much the only fair play line that no one crosses, I'm pretty sure I remember a cup tie being replayed because of Arsenal doing that.

Out of interest, was there ever an explanation as to why on earth we had that attack stopped where the linesman seemed to give Sterling offside from a throw in, then pretended it was a foul throw to try and cover his fuck up?

Nope, miles off. I wasn't far from that throw, It was a petulant unsporting effort which was spotted by most people that were near. Even the villa lads were smirking.

At the match in real time it looked like he threw it at Hart but I think he tried to throw it out for a goal kick and Hart fucked up. That was his third fuck up in that incident, as I said earlier in the thread. First, just play on until the ref stops the game. That's the rule. On the TV, N'Zogbia was clearly play-acting by clutching his face as it happens. Second, given that they were intent on wasting time, punt it out well down-field instead of in the corner, where they can waste more time in trotting down to take it. Third, stand by your near post or on the corner of the six yard box and let him throw the ball to your feet.

That why he will never be a great keeper rather than a very good one because he's fucking brainless.

 

[hutton who blue]

Correct. He was trying it on. Then took their corner garnished from ungentlemanly, unsporting conduct when they were time wasting through unsporting conduct in the first place. Nothing against their new man in charge but I hope the fuckers stay in the bottom three the rest of the season.

 

[Mr HJ]

Firstly I think we left our legs in Spain. I really think it was more important to win in the CL this week. Villa are dreadful, but we will not win every game. Secondly I don't want our players to stoop to the low of Gestade, hopefully karma will come around. The guy was faking the injury in the first place but I was proud that Joe put it out. The throw to supposedly give us the ball back says all there is to know about the sportsmanship of Villa. Micah as captain should have instructed the player who took the corner to just kick it out - that would have got a lot of other fans behind Villa's escape, but now quite frankly I hope they go down with less than 20 points! For the first time the break has come at a good time for us. Fernandinho looked knackered today especially with Yaya strolling about.

I don't think you were stood where I was then? But take your opportunity whilst it's there bud. You don't get many though do you? So make it count. And did you see the way he dropped a ball the other game as well? Wow, slightest opportunity get in there pal. He's holding this team back that's for sure. FFS, you must wait for these 'moments'.

the lino told sagna it was a villa throw-in. but he ignored him.i thought he had got away with it for a moment.

On the US coverage, I think they suggested that it should have been a Villa throw in the first place (at least that's what the ref thought).

Agreed, he's never been the brightest footballer, it could have cost a goal, luckily it didn't.

Give over. I was in the upper tier and saw it clearly. As I said, it looked deliberate at first but when I saw it on TV I could see Hart move towards the ball. And I think that Hart is a very good keeper who has had some great games for us but has too many mental lapses to be a truly great keeper. I don't see anything wrong in saying that. The near-deification of Hart in some quarters is overdone. He's 17 months off turning 30 and shouldn't be having those lapses.

 

[Ray78]

It would of been one of the most strangest of goals to concede but I wouldn't of held Hart fully responsible if we had.

This whole 'sporting gesture' of giving the ball back really winds me up. If there's no specific rule to cover it, it's open to exactly the kind of thing that happened today - their player acted like a tw*t, but was totally within his rights as far as the rules of the game are concerned. How about "if the referee decides a ball was put out of play to allow an injured player to be attended to, play is restarted by the goalkeeper of the team putting the ball out having the ball in hand". That's pretty much what happens when they do 'the sporting thing' anyway, and it stops incidents like the one today.
