And their moaning, diving little prick of a right back gets away with waving the imaginary yellow card in the refs face, which is far more of an actual yellow card offence. The ref was a complete clown.
-
Did you see this ref? Why is that a shock? Watch it back, it's clearly what he does.
-
Nah, he does the pointy motion to point to different areas of the pitch. He was definitely saying this is your third time.
-
It was definitely a goal kick but I remember the referree doing the "one, two, three" gesture, as if he'd done it several times already, when he absolutely hadn't. He didn't even take particularly long with the one he got booked for. It just shows how poor the ref was because he subconciously remembered the several minutes we'd spent with the ball in play at Martinez' feet and his tiny brain thought "oh, those times were all set pieces too. I must book him". It was a classic sign of a ref who didn't have a clue.
-
This was more because there was no ball though. The delay wasn't really to do with Martinez; Watkins literally didn't have a ball. Pretty sure the crowd were holding onto it or something.

Does anyone know the difference in prize money between qualifying for the Champions League vs Europa League? How would we look for FFP this summer for both scenarios?
-
Obviously the penalty booking was a complete farce because he was clearly asking for a ball but the booking in normal time was a actually worse. The weak referee clearly got confused with all the time the ball was spent in play at Martinez' feet and must have thought it was a set piece every time. You even saw him do the "one, two, three" motion. When exactly did he waste time from three set pieces? Absolute dickhead referee who just wanted to make the whole evening about himself.

I said it's not much better than Wimbledon. Obviously that was worse, but this would be a joke too. The NEC is in Marston Green, which comes under Solihull rather than Birmingham so we would be moving our club out of its city. It's nonsensical to even suggest it, in my opinion. The space might be viable at the NEC but getting there is not easy at all. I can just imagine how bad the roads would be on match days. No thanks.
-
I really wish people would get the NEC idea out of their head too. It's 13 miles away from Aston; it's not exactly that much better than Wimbledon moving to Milton Keynes. And getting to the NEC general area is nowhere near as easy as some people think, trust me! We stay in Aston.
-
When we were formed Witton was part of the old Aston district, which is now part of Birmingham as a whole. We are from Aston. End of. Certainly not Marston Green.
-
Last I looked, we were Aston Villa. Not Marston Green Villa.

This has absolutely made my day

Yeah agreed. If we can cut out these sloppy spells we have now and then on the ball and defend set pieces better, that's our two main Achilles heels sorted.
-
Completely agree. We started the first half on the front foot and completely dominated the second half. Apart from that 15 minute spell where we kept giving the ball away in defence, which also lead to their goal, I'd say it was a very solid away performance. Even more so when you remember how many players we have missing, getting bad defeat last week and it's a difficult place to go. We played some really nice stuff at times. Only things to work on for me are defending set pieces and maybe sometimes we could have got a shot away sooner rather than looking for one more pass. Emery tried something different. It didn't work so he corrected it during the match. But no, let's moan moan moan eh? UTV
