[Albion] MOTD









Well they were pretty fair and said most of the right things in studio afterwards

Their penalty looked soft as shite from the other side of the ground opposite the away end to the peasants, where we were sat and was duly confirmed when I saw it on MOTD2. What the FRIG are these refs playing at ? Anthony Taylor took a long hard look at it before pointing to the spot. Big pause. That suggests doubt. And you're only supposed to award a pen if you are positive of it - typical 'big club' decision.

Aside from that, it was a truly excellent away performance. Freed from the shackles of "WE MUST NOT LOSE" we put in a bloody good shift, flooded forward at the right times, fully deserved the point and on another day might have even sneaked something better.

Attacking, eh ? Bloody hell Chris. Sometimes it might...just...work.

I'm really starting to lose it with refs now.
Not a massive fan of VAR but after this awful season of incompetent and possibly bent refs, but definitely top 6 biased refs, then VAR is now a must.
I mean he was 3 yards away, staring at it with a clear view.

VAR is double edged. D&D will have to very careful, and we will be defending a lot. Any shirt tugging we do will be VARED

These things even themselves out over the season we are told. So, following Kyle Walker being sent off for doing nothing next week, we'll be getting half a dozen dodgy penalties given in our favour. Could also be an interesting game at Wolves where Mo Salah is somehow going to get five or more bookings for diving.

Fair play to the BBC for thinking about license payers money by having an Arsenal STH as commentator today.

I presume you mean on the radio? Simon Brotherton, the MotD commentator, is an Aston Villa fan who lives in Horsham.

Again, you do wonder if the March one was an 'even things up' scenario. Would love to know what Dunk said to him after he'd awarded them the penalty.

Could be the amount of cheating that's not helping, if players didn't cheat we don't need refs?

Wrighty spit on with his comments.
Stating negative tactics from the manager but the team can play.
Nothing new of course to us but good to see that comment being aired
