[Albion] Lino with yellow flag

[kevo]

Dunno his name as programme no longer says which one is which (although they are both called Dan, so I'll call him Dan). Clear long pull on Trossard's shirt literally, and I mean literally, right in front of him, just after March went down for the non-penalty.

What is the point of assistant referees if they can't see or give that? Complete and utter waste of space.

 

[Sheebo]

All the officials were atrocious today - ruined the game & seems hell bent on letting Villa win and get away with murder.

I know this one. To flag for a foul when Villa players fall over.

Shortly after he flagged like mad when there was a 50/50 tussle - for a foul by us (of course).

 

[kevo]

And what's with not giving their flag colour anymore? To make them less accountable when they f**k up? I really want to know this tw*t's name for when he refs us in the future.

Villa fans on Twitter also complaining about the inept ref. They got a handful of yellow cards.

You think pulling someone's shirt off his back is not a foul? Do one.

I wasn't there.

I just it highly ironic that everyone automatically blames the officials, rather than the players who are actually responsible for results.

This place gets more like the anal-gazing tedium of the 606 phone-in every week.

The officials are supposed to apply the rules of the game. When a clear foul happens right in front of them and they don't give it, they deserve to be criticised. But according to you, we shouldn't even mention it.

No further questions your honour

I was there and the the ref was useless, apart from the March incident I can’t say I noticed the assistants.

. . . is the correct answer.

However, all we are doing is looking for excuses, the sole reason why we didn't get anything at all from the game is because we were awful today.

We offered absolutely nothing and played in a very stange system. Dunk & Colwill looked very ill at ease together, and once Lallana exited very early on we became overrun in midfield. Welbeck barely got a touch, and l've a feeling Trossard's head was already in Qatar, (well either there, or in Chelsea or Newcastle maybe.)

Either way absolutely none of our players turned up this afternoon. Yes ok l agree the referee's performance was poor, and Villa's timewasting infuriating, but let's face it, if they were to have any hope of escaping from the Amex with any kind of positive result, then those were the tactics that Aston Villa needed to employ.

I know what you mean, one should get over it, etc. But it is fair to comment on the carryon. Villa played the officials, and the officials allowed Villa to meet their objective, which was to disrupt the flow of the game, by cheating if necessary.

Now, I agree that when a team is playing better, we simply need to suck it up and work out how to outplay them. But when a team is cheating and the officials effectively collude with them, it is worthy of comment.

I would feel a bit better if the clowns presenting on 606 called out Villa for what they were today, but they didn't. It was another great win for Villa, up to 12th. One Brighton caller, however, did sum it up precisely. Well done him.

Bob the manager sneered at Villa and the officials for effectively delivering 'Italian football', which he regards as altogether inferior to what the EPL is supposed to be all about.

Gave them a throw in ….total farce along with a few other things it missed

“I wasn’t there” says enough….you ’ invested’ sod all in the game

As regards to criticism of the players….there are other threads for that …match thread etc

If it helps, I could bring up when he didn't flag for a clear offside against one of our lot?

He was woeful and had players from both teams giving him grief - arguably rightly so.
