Villa (H) Post Match Thread

[lust overlord]

I don't recall seeing this much shite talked about a goal. It's fucking ludicrous.

As for Villa. They're a set of fans I have a particular dislike for. Entitled wankers. Now I know Rags and Dippers are also entitled wankers, but I kind of understand why. However, I've no fucking idea why Villa fans act that way. Fannies.

Had a decent side in the early 80s won a European cup after a more than kind series of draws against poor sides.

Penny for Stan the women bashers thoughts on the offside

 

[Moorland Blue]

I've re-run the video several times now. Mings is looking at his goalkeeper when he clears the ball so he knew exactly where Rodri was. He turns as the ball goes over his head. Bernardo heads it back. Mings glances behind (and sees Rodri again) before attempting to chest it down - silly sod - instead of heading it forward. At that point the sequence of play with Rodri being offside is over. Villa have the ball. Rodri nips in (not 'tackle from behind' as commentators and Smith claimed), the rest is history and the goal is legal. The law has not changed, its nothing to do with VAR, Uefa, Brexit, SkyTV, Covid, or anything else 'modern' or Michael "Dobbin" Owen!!!

Some of the headlines make it look like Rodri was wearing camouflage , ducked under the barbed wire and mugged Mings , when in fact it was a dozy overrated centre half who needs a few hours reading the football assocaition rule book. But Mings doesnt need to worry about his England place , Stones is back.

I remember this incident being described as Quick-witted, Cheeky and Clever

But not Immoral for some reason?

Oh how the media and other fans laughed at us, well it's us who are laughing today.Take it Take it

And the Forrest goal wasn’t against the spirit of the game.
If the sainted Fernando had scored Bernies goal it would have been a goal of the season contender and it wouldn’t be a rubbish law.

Top Stuff, felt like a big win that. Bernardo scoring the goal to top off his recent performances. Great performances from the lot. Really showing how this season being able to keep a clean sheet is massive, that one particular block from Ruben was insane.

I won't lie, i didn't celebrate the goal and assumed it would be ruled out, but seems by the rules it was onside and a fair goal. Would maybe feel a bit for Mings if he hadn't of seen he was there, chested the ball down and then tried to be clever and nutmeg or take it past Rodri.

Credit to Tom Heaton. In the Sky Sports studio for the Liverpool game, he's acknowledged that, re Bernie's goal, it is the rule.

I always mix up those two for some reason. I have a mental bloc with most refs - I just see a red mist descend before my eyes!

I think it's a red scarf rather than a red mist with most refs.

Take that Villa. Disgusting time wasting

I've said before, I thought the goalie could only hold it for 6 (or is it 8) seconds before dropping it to the ground or releasing the ball. Martinez is a 12- 18 second twat and he gets away with it, as he did when he played the odd cup game for his last club (Arsenal I think)
