Aston Villa 2-0 Newcastle United - 23/01/2021


Recommended Posts

Aye, Sky still insistent re: Schar’s touch. Absolutely lunacy if that’s the case. Villa’s last week was dodgy, but Schar only plays that ball because Watkin’s is behind him.

 

Would be furious if I cared about us getting a result. As it stands, furious as it’s Bruce’s excuse served up on a platter. :lol:

I like the way Redknapp and Bent kept bigging up Bruce at the start of the game and now they are both as quiet as mice about Newcastle at half time.

 

Not one mention from anyone in the studio about how terrible we have been.

Should add that the offside law is a complete shambles

 

I don't think there's anything dodgy about the fact you're onside if you're behind the ball.

 

If two players are through, they shouldn't be able to pass?

 

He means the defender playing the ball making everyone onside.

This run has been coming since the start of last season. His luck has finally ran out. We are getting what we have deserved for months now.

 

Always had to happen as soon as the tactics Rafa had drilled in to the team wore off and Bruce started making his own mark, you can only hide on someone else's work for so long before you get caught out.

It's because sky are focusing only on the fact schar touched it.  I think they are looking at the wrong thing.

We've been shite but that offside decision is atrocious for the first goal

 

He was behind the ball wasn't he?

 

If that's the case fair enough but they were saying on Sky it's because Schar touched the ball

 

On NBC they said he's behind the goal almost straight away, it's just Sky getting into this Schar thing.

Why?

 

They didn't look at it because Schar touched it

 

Yeah, that's right. Schar leaves it Watkins naturally would put it in, no goal.

 

Blame Schar for being thick ??

If moving in position to score when offside, and being played onside because a defender played at the ball because said defender can't know if the attacker is offside for sure.

 

How in gods name is that not gaining an advantage by being offside, the law is fucking ridiculous if that the case.

I'd be very surprised if Sky are getting this wrong. She very purposefully explained the reason why it wasnt looked at. Because she''d been told exactly why it wasnt looked at I'd confidently imagine. Regardless of the if he was level or behind argument, Sky have just categorically said the offside rule has changed and it's now not offside when the ball is played. That's never been a thing.

Defenders can’t be expected to jump over dangerous crosses in case the attacker is offside. The law is ridiculous.

What? Watkins was clearly behind the ball when it was played though.

Schar can't know if Watkins is off or not, it's too tight to know ffs. It's utter madness to blame a player, the fucking law is complete bollocks.

Definitely. That scenario with Schar there basically forces him into making the decision to play the ball. If he leaves it for Watkins to tap in he has to be 100% certain he's offside. Ludicrous stuff.

We saw it coming months ago, yet the pundits still can't see it, and they call us deluded ffs

 

It’s because he managed Sunderland though
