Chindie Posted March 24 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24 Beat the MLS champions Columbus Crew last night, although by all accounts it was a comedy match. You know you're in for a wild ride when you have you a first half that started with a bad kick off, ran for 62 minutes and included a red card, a missed penalty, a missed open goal, a disallowed goal and multiple VAR reviews. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongVillan Posted March 24 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24 Even the VAR system seems to be stuck at "checking poss penalty for handball" from the start. Plus Westwood actually scoring a beauty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioVilla Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 As a Crew fan, it stings slightly a bit less that it was to Deano. But that match referee was AWFUL. Red card for something that might be a booking, then our captain gets stamped by Arfield and it's not even a booking. A very slight nudge for a penalty? Awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I could think of at first then was Crewe Alexandra - given Westwood started there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I could rewatch the whole debacle, but I'm pretty sure it went from foul to straight Red. 3 hours ago, Tom13 said: All I could think of at first then was Crewe Alexandra - given Westwood started there. Sorry, Columbus Crew. You know, us Americans and how we name teams. The MLS in particular is awful with this. The few teams remaining from the beginning have out of place names when compared to a team like Charlotte FC or St Louis City SC (so wordy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into the MLS shortly after, never knew there were 29 teams in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Charlotte lost to new England. Only goal of the game scored by a certain ex -villan Carles Gil. Somewhat ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted April 8 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8 Charlotte's loss to New England is made that bit more bitter because New England's manager actually guaranteed they would win the match in his pre-game press conference. He then tried to claim he didn't do that in the post game briefing and was taken out of context, but he absolutely did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 This was utterly miraculous from Deano, seven points from safety with four games to go, I knew four points would give us a chance if West Ham beat Watford becase Watford then had to play Manchester City and Arsenal, but even allowing for that not too unlikely outcome, we stil had to somehow get eight points from our remaining four, it had take us fourteen games to get our previous eight points 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I've lost track of which clubs are part of V Sports, but when Smith is done with FC Charlotte, maybe we will give him a job with one of those Edited April 9 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 14 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14 Beat Toronto at home, just. Worth a watch for some comical moments - Toronto's first goal is basically the image they'd use to illustrate what offside from a cross looks like, and Toronto's red card is completely brainless, last man pulls down the striker in the last second of a match that's already lost, what on earth are you doing.

Popular Post Chindie Posted April 21 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 21 Interesting interview, it's mostly about his background and includes a lot about his time with us. You can see why he's always been a popular coach with players - he's just a good bloke. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted April 21 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21 I know we’ve gone onto bigger and better things most probably but a massive part of me still misses the bloke being in charge 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Really enjoyed that interview. He is just a lovely bloke isn't he and the affection he has for Villa just oozes out of him. He was so proud to have managed his/our club and we as a fan base are proud to have had him manage us. If he still has ambition to manage in England at the top level I hope he gets another shot at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
