[Albion] Premier League 20-22/5/23

[The Wizard]

It’s alright there should be about 86 minutes of added time I’m sure the referee won’t just add on like 5/6 minutes….

 

[Javeaseagull]

Top shithousing from Villa, has to be said

 

[trueblue]

The reason they sent him to the monitor is because it was VVD offside and they were asking the referee to decide if the interception from Konsa was a clear attempt to play the ball, they deemed it a deflection not an attempt at the ball.

The offside wasn’t from the first ball in, that was onside.

Exactly this. Because they decided Konsa was a deflection, VVD is then deemed to be ‘gaining an advantage’. My impression was he wagged his foot at it and so attempted to play the ball, which would have been onside.

Less than 15 minutes of normal time remaining.
Liverpool just need to score one goal against this stubborn Villa side.

Absolutely, for me that was a deliberate play at the ball and so the offside decision is wrong.

Appears to have gone unnoticed on here tho

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

If Milner wants to join, he better either score or set one up….

7 yellow cards for Martinez this season

Unbelievable.

7 yellow cards for Martinez this season

Unbelievable.

What was it for? Inevitable timewasting or generally being a dick?

 

[Dick Head]

This James Miller fellow looks rather good.

That’s about 6 ‘head’ injuries for Villa now…

 

[The Wizard]

Duplicate

Yes - that's why I thought it must be for the first play.

So did I.

And logically any defending player is going to try and play the ball when opposition is attacking their box.

It was certainly not a conclusive deflection.

Wouldn’t be sent to the monitor if it was, the first offside would be a cut and dry is he/isn’t he.

 

[Javeaseagull]

There is no way Martinez is getting another yellow card and he knows it.

 

[Si Gull]

So did I.

And logically any defending player is going to try and play the ball when opposition is attacking their half.

It was certainly not a conclusive deflection.

When offsides get analysed in this level of detail you know that the beautiful game is slowly disappearing up its own arse.

 

[peterward]

F***ing Villa fans singing "we're on our way.... to europa league" by sounds of it?

 

[The Wizard]

Problem here is a draw is basically worthless to Liverpool

If this absolute helmet referee only adds on 5/6 minutes….
