Just back from the club watching the match, why was the supposed offside goal disallowed

Isak beyond the goalkeeper I think. Needs to be two Villa players behind the keeper.

They were getting battered even before the sending off, you are deliberately negative.

You just rewriting history now? They'd grown into the game and their press was causing us lots of problems. Then dickhead got sent off.

Yep, even the commentators were clueless about this.

DiscrimiVARtion.

[frankpingel]

Wonderful, combination of continuing our recent good form, decent opposition and it being Boxing Day making it a special day.

Again, if only I was able to predict red cards that massively swing games the way you can. You are the best.

You've clamped him there like. When Villa went down to 10 men we were only..hold on, this can't be right..it says here that we were 1 nil up and dominating every stat.

[joeyt]

15 mins into a game Villa are a goal down and yet look most likely to win it

 

Incredible levels of clutching

Are you ok David Edgar? Like seriously? Genuinely a bit worried about you and your constant negativity even when it’s not called for.
 

Do you need a hug? Or have you been kicked in the head by a horse or something?

Looking back at the first goal, we would not be scoring that goal with Burn at left back. Hall bombing on the overlap confuses Cash giving Gordon plenty of time and space to pick his spot. 

[David Edgar]

You lot are ridiculously precious. Bless. 

 

Not repeating myself. It would've been a very hard game 11 v 11. Toss of a coin from what I saw unfold between Gordon scoring and Duran seeing red.

Burn used to pride himself in making overlaps. He'd have been bombing down the touch line for little personal reward.

Double checked and Bruno's goal clearly comes off the defender. Looked like it was going wide, or at best on to the post without so I reckon should have been an own goal.

 

Didn't affect anything but probably was something VAR missed. I presume they assumed it went in off Bruno and didn't check for anything else.

Expand  

Yeah just watched this and you’re right, VAR got it wrong as Bruno wouldn’t have been the scorer and therefore not a ‘factual’ handball

[Andy84]

11 v 11 we still win that. Playing against 10 changes mindset and intensity, mind some of the chances and situations we fluffed were hilarious

Did they touch the ball before our goal

That Duran incident looks accidental to me

Was that villa coach that got sent off the one with the shoulder length blonde hair?

 

He really fucking annoys me even though I've never spoken to him, heard him speak or know anything about him. 

 

Definitely a twat though.

Wasn't him, but you dislike him because of his hair ?  Or because his first name is Austin ?

They had one or two nice patterns of play in the first half hour that resulted in nothing, but beyond that we did most of the running. I genuinely interesting in what you saw that makes you think it was a coin toss of a game at the point we where 1-0 up.

You know I take it all back. At no point between Gordon scoring and Duran getting sent off did Villa start pressing us effectively and start to control territory. They didn't look at all threatening and Duran getting sent off made zero difference to game.

It's the leap that a 10-15min minute period after conceding that they're looking more likely to win the game

 

They played well after conceding first against us last season and got battered 5-1. Games are longer than 15 mins
