Haha Bent again, 3 yards out

Antoher set piece!!! Problem solved? Dont make me laugh, joke

Sign of a good player that. Stan puts terrible ball in moments before and gets another chance and puts a peach of a cross over. Well done Petrov

Petrov, oh dear. Need to put that in mix not straight out from free kick

Great save, but a striker should give a keeper no chance from that close.

Bent seems to miss one of those every **** game.

So true

That is the chance every striker wants, 5 yards out only the keepr to beat!

You have to score those if we are going to win, got to!

OMG how did Bent not score!!!!!!

Blind faith? You only have to listen to the neutrals to see that it is far from that.

I heard crooks, keown, Hanson and lawro alone say it was not even a foul let alone red card and pen.

Match of day showed a perfect slow of it and there was nothing doing

Just shown the incident on match of the day. Never in a million years is that

A penalty or red card. crazy stupid decision. Alan Hanson and lawro agreed, in no world was there a foul. Feel sorry for herd

Corner again. I thought we were sorting this

Keown saying they watched the earlier incident and all it was was a tangle and herd did well to not stand on

other player

1558: Just a bit more on the red card/West Brom penalty at Villa Park. It was the linesman Darren Caan - who was assistant ref in the 2010 World Cup final - who gave it. Chris Herd and Jonas Olsson had a tussle as Chris Brunt prepared to take his free-kick, and Phil Dowd had a word with Herd then. Seems he marked his card even before anything actually happened. And, crucially for me, Olsson did not complain one bit when they tangled in the area, although he did celebrate when the penalty was given. Got all that? From BBC

From a corner again. Just can't defend set pieces

West Brom missed pen: Right, I've seen a couple of replays but it is still not immediately obvious what has happened. Chris Herd does tangle with Jonas Olsson as the run in for Chris Brunt's (blocked) free-kick but it is never a red card, not in a million years, even when they tangle as theyget up afterwards. It's a pretty soft penalty too, so perhaps justice is done when Chris Brunt steps up to wildly blast his spot-kick well wide of goal. Think Chris Waddle in Italia 90, but worse.

The BBC live scores program saying they can not see any reason at all

That it was a penalty or sending off.

Gabby man of the match, easy one today, although no one let the side down.

Shame Delph is low on confidence but we have to believe it will come with him. Not a good idea to get on his back.

Looking far more balanced today.

Super Gabby run and cross omg we have Messi playing for us

Think next change will be Bent for Zoggy

Heskey for Ireland? Strange, Ireland growing in confidence and improving. What a shame

injured ankle

Yeah fair enough

Heskey for Ireland? Strange, Ireland growing in confidence and improving. What a shame

Well played Ireland

Bannan so close to great goal, great save by keeper, its only a matter of time before he scores a screamer
