[Football] Villa missing out on the Champions League because...

That decision will force them to sell players. Lol

Really, their poor financial management/disregard for the rules will force them to sell players.
As others have said, there are 37 other games that they have played this season where they could have picked up more points.
Perhaps if they didn't cheat, dive, and time waste so much they would have had time to score that additional goal they needed.

I’m sure you understand the rules better than me, but it just doesn’t sit right with me. The whistle should either be final or not. If that means the laws need to change then so be it. I don’t see how it’s fair in one scenario and whistle can be overturned and in another it can’t.

The whistle is final - unless the decision affects Man Utd.

 

[Gazwag]

They lost 2-0 anyway so tough, and Martinez is a and they overspent to try and get to the CL so all in all ha ha ha ha ha

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I wonder if the two owners (boring critics of PSR) will orchestrate another crooked property sale to themselves to cheat again?

They will hawk Ramsey around all summer again

Yes, yes, it makes no difference to us, but Jesus Christ.

Villa were denied this goal and, potentially, Champions League qualification because the referee blew his whistle before the ball crossed the line, thereby denying VAR the opportunity to review the incident.

I thought it was their dick of a goalkeeper charging out and getting sent off, and their failing to turn up again in a massive game (like they did against Palace) that cost them today?

No fan of McGinn at all - the snide **** - but eloquent here (for a Scotch)

I thought that - he seemed surprisingly eloquent and likeable

ManC?

It's annoying. See Zaha, Richarlison etc. Absolute tits on the pitch but seem to be great off it.

Don't be like like that, I want my rage to be justified!

The whole thing started to unravel when ;they' decided they had to impose arbitrary rules on when VAR could or could not intervene. Should have just been allowed whenever there is a clear and obvious error (and PGMOL's ridiculous definition of 'clear and obvious' should have been booted straight into touch too).

TBF loads of their own fans on their forum calling them out as big game bottlers

Right to have whistled early. Someone might have got injured or something. That’s what the expert pundits were all telling us a couple of weeks ago.

I mean it’s head-injury FC, so fetch me the Windsor Davies meme.

 

[GT49er]

I'm sure I remember there was an incident a couple of years or so ago - I seem to remember it coming up on ref watch on SSN. It was stated then that if the GK's hand was touching the ball, he was in control, and so it was a foul to knock it away from him. Has that changed?
(Daft rule, IMHO, by the way - the Villa goal should in all honesty have stood). But hey, what goes round comes round - make sure the goal line technology is switched on, eh?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it was Jordan Pickford and he had the ball on the ground trapped under one hand - I recall it was pointed out that the rules/laws/whatever state that this now counts as being in control of the ball, equal to having it trapped between two hands.

Ref must be a Newcastle fan.

On this one though, at the precise moment that Rogers toe poked the ball, Bayindir was not touching the ball as he’d ’fumbled’ it. If that was against us and that decision potentially cost us Europe… we’d be going absolutely crazy on here.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Funny.

Villa will now be forced to come up with another PSR dodge.
Hopefully they come up with something creative, for @El Presidente to analyse.

Unai Emery doing a great impression of the Duracell Bunny on speed. All he needed was a drum. I wonder if he’s free match days next season

 

[saafend_seagull]

Sorry what? They lost 2-0.

Also only in the league from the worst decision in premier league history.
