[Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Gabbafella]

Excellent result and rightly deserved after all the cheating and diving from Villa. I've always disliked Villa but even more so now, happy to have taken 3pts off them.

 

[Scappa]

Rob Green, Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live knows what's up:

It's for a late tackle on Grealish. Grealish has gone down the way that Jack Grealish does.

It's a late, tired tackle from Lamptey. It's cost him a red card.

It's a harsh one.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Surely we'll appeal that red?

Can't appeal two yellows. Really 'clever' play from the ****.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Stayed off NSC as heart can’t take it.

Welbeck outstanding.
Clear and obvious error on pen, March played the ball.
Grealish great player but basically a cheat....
Maupay and Webster bit dodgy. Dunk got stronger. Gross excellent

The more I see that penalty, the more that is a huge dive. Never, ever a penalty

I reckon he might have gave it had he not gone down like he was shot

I would have actually smashed my TV had that penalty decision stood.

Absolutely pathetic performance from the villa 'fouled' by March.

The bleach prepared bucket is now being flushed down the toilet along with any respect I ever had for Martin ****ing Keown.

Ref got sucked in there. First Lamptey, stand out player all game, not a malicious bone in him, where as JG is a cheating simulating prick - he has to realise what that incident is, give a foul, but a 2nd yellow is just misreading the whole game.

He’s then go sucked into the pen too, he’s turned it over for the touch on the ball, but even without could have turned it over for the dive - you can’t just give a pen for a brush of a sock, if it even was that.

Should have killed it really, I’m all in on Welbeck, he’s going to be immense!

 

[The Fits]

No shit, I would have hated him if he played for any other team.

Absolutely agreed. I'm finding it hard to warm to him. Look at Wellbeck coming in, playing like a god and acting like a total gent.
All this 'part of his game' stuff is a bit tired.

 

[Weststander]

Surely we'll appeal that red?

Can a yellow be appealed?

 

[GoingUp]

Keown was a defender too, would have thought he would side with NOT giving a penalty.

 

[swindonseagull]

Miracle - it was playacting but it’s a penalty

Obviously its not

 

[pb21]

The more I see that penalty, the more that is a huge dive. Never, ever a penalty

He was rolling around like he had broken his ankle FFS; this type of cheating really boils my piss

 

[Gazwag]

Trezuguet should have been off for his foul 2 minutes earlier, if we are to consider Solly's tackle a "foul"

Elbow in the face? used to be considered a foul

Two elbows in the throat in the game zero var interaction

 

[Deadly Danson]

Miracle - it was playacting but it’s a penalty

What on earth are you talking about? He WINS the ball. Very very clearly.

 

[BN41Albion]

Very happy with that. Excellent win. We needed that big time, too

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Oh and is elbowing in the throat now allowed?

This. He is a complete shitehouse, but he is OUR shitehouse. Every team needs one.

 

[Mike Small]

Wow. A few refereeing points.
1) Why no replay of Cash’s handball?? I don’t think the whole ball was out. Big teams would have VAR looking at that.
2) Grealish has dived again and That is NEVER a yellow. That said, Lamptey didn’t need to go for that particularly against sock boy.
3) Couldn’t believe OLiver gave that. Thank goodness he was big enough to change his mind but would have looked ridiculous if not.

So relieved. Didn’t deserve it but are more than due some luck after Utd, Palace and Burnley.

Cant appeal it, but it’s only the Liverpool game anyway

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Can a yellow be appealed?

No.
