Villa (H) Post Match Thread

It is going to be interesting to see if this suddenly becomes a new way of strikers gaining that little bit of an advantage every match now. Stand 10 yards behind the defensive line, wait for the defender to touch the ball and then suddenly spring into action from behind them and try to nick it. In retrospect it seems such an obvious thing to do but we inadvertently stumbled across it!

I've never known so many mistakes by a commentary team.

1) savage getting his facts wrong at half time.
2)commentator kept saying gundogan has scored, when it was silva.
3)mc pointy, kept saying the header was going wide anyway, as if that had anything to do with it!.
4)commentator saying great clearance from Stones,when it was DIAS.
I bet there is more as well.

The worst was Wio - ' I don't care about the rules - the goal should not stand'

And he gets paid, he can hardly string a sentance together
 
Having watched it a few times, it's clearly the right decision (I'd say if I thought it wasn't). The ball played in doesn't get anywhere near Rodri. Not even close. Therefore he can not be said to be interfering with play. Mings takes not one, but two touches on it (chest, then foot). He's started another phase of play. Rodri, who is by this time onside, is well within his rights to tackle him. As anybody onside would be at that point.
It's a separate issue, but Mings clearly knew that Rodri was there. He is turned towards him when he's offside and decides that he represents no threat, which he doesn't at that point. He then appears to give a little glance over his shoulder, just to check, when he's turned away from him. Mings's mistake. He won't make it again. Very sharp from Rodri.

When I took my coaching badge in the late 1970's it was drilled into me ....
"They are Laws of the game not rules"
Just saying
 
I honestly didn’t think we would be in this position going off the first few games of the season so huge credit to the manager and players. If we can get Sergio up and running with a serious run of games under his belt we should hopefully go on and win it again

Walton claimed to have only realised that Mings played the ball after the end of the game when in actual fact he didn't understand the offside law. Laughable that these guys get paid to talk about football!

The worrying thing is this dick head ref’d about 10 City vs Everton games in a row, and he’d blatantly fuck us over.

Sadly, I just put this down to corruption.

Now I know the worrying truth. It’s a combination of corruption, and some of the referees in this country not even knowing the laws of the game!

BT Sport are such an amateur outfit. Definitely appealing to the lowest common denominator of arm chair fans. Literally employing low IQ individuals.

Someone said in here that the Camel mouthpiece said our goal wasn’t in the spirit of the game, they rightfully highlighted that neither was jumping out of a window to escape a drugs test. Wish someone in that studio had the brain and bollocks to say that to him, but we all know they’d be sacked for it.

Me neither didn’t impact the game at all. Well except for fouling and throwing himself on the floor. Just don’t rate him, above average player that’s about it. Big fish in a small pond.

Same here. Its sort of like Fernandes at Utd, hyped up quite a bit but when it comes to the big games with a well drilled opposition he's not that good.
