Did anyone else think Watkins was lucky not to get a red card?

I only saw one replay, but it looked like he punched Cucerella in the head.

Yes - the ref missed lots today. I think he was scared of Gerrard.

Poor performance from him and us.

Villa turned it on its head and tried to get several Albion players sent off early on the second half.

Anyone else here bored of the dark arts, parachute rolls, turf slapping from most EPL players. Such a dishonest ‘sport’ in the modern era.

Cuc committed the foul and Watkins was fending him off. No malice.

If we are talking reds. then Veltnam was lucky after his foul and kicking the ball away. Both were card offences. 'I've seen them given'.

There was a lot of play acting going on by both teams. It was very disappointing to see.

Definitely.

Villa tried to influence the ref from the off……

At times weren’t much better though in terms of acting - must admit I hate it.

I won’t defend Villa at all.

But our game plan seemed to morph quite early on into “We’re playing poorly and are a goal down, so let’s get a Villa player sent off”.

There was a time in football where players always stayed on their feet, hellbent on attacking, only stopped when cut in half by a Case/Clark/Horton/Cannon/Horne/Droy.

We didn’t hold the moral high ground today.

I don't think Watkins was on his feet long enough to hit anyone.

Agree entirely.

My post should read ‘we’ weren’t much better……

I wouldn't be upset if we never have that referee again.

Definitely not a red and the overreaction was Neymar-like. Embarrassing. Hate to see it, especially from one of our own.

This big time. I wondered if the challenge had snapped his Alice band or broken a curl judging by the reaction. After a great season him and Lamptey have looked a bit average in in the last two games.

Not a red for me.

Players from both teams very early understood that the ref was shite and did their best to abuse that situation.

Villa made Burnley look like angels with their cynical tactics. As soon as they scored with their first shot of the game, the plan was to completely ruin the game by either winning or giving away cheap free kicks.

Wasn’t there a stat the other day that showed the ball is in play for the least amount of time during Villa matches? That certainly showed yesterday as there must have only been about 20 minutes of actual play during the second half.
