Or I might have dreamed it. Or it might be rugby laws. Glad I could help. Thats definitely made up, could move an indirect free kick if you wanted in that case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procedure All free kicks are taken from the place where the offence occurred. it was rugby where you can bring a penalty back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t seem right. The handball was being checked for a penalty and was pretty close, then the free kick is allowed to be taken 5 yards back from a more advantageous position. I'm fairly certain we did something similar recently? Sneakily moved the ball back a bit when the ref wasn't paying attention to help us get it up and over the wall. Or am I imaging things?

Well it shouldn't have been allowed then and it shouldn't have been allowed now, especially as I said it was being checked for a penalty so obviously very near the edge of the box.

Yes but the one yesterday was a VAR review for something on the edge of the box, if anything it makes a further mockery of VAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think the ref would have been thinking "well it must have been closer than that", but it's in no way VAR's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colhint Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Austin Mcphee worked this out. He realised the ref measures 10 paces. That is shorter than 10 yards. He was wondering why we hit the wall so much. We were practicing with the wall at exactly 10 yards . The average pace is 30 inches so the average wall is 5 feet too close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2023 I'd have been so angry if that had gone in. As far as I could see our players weren't making the point either, which I found strange? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it wasnt the VAR fault for the free kick location they still look bad because the ref didnt move it I wonder we would have got an apology if JWP scored that, might even ask for the game to be replayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Once again there is absolutely no incentive not to cheat anymore. You dive, there's 10x more a chance you'll get a pen rather than a yellow. Especially anywhere near the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Watkins in a goal scoring position gets pushed in the back - no pen. Newcastle player going out of the box away from goal throws himself to the ground 'anticipating contact' - pen Make it make sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Jared Gillett shouldn't be reffing League 2, let alone Prem games. We've had him at least twice this season and in both games, he's been utterly pathetic. I hope he's not given another Villa game, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick Google and it turns out he had an absolute nightmare in the Championship a few weeks back. Ex refs came out and moaned about his performance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Not surprised. He seems to have a bit of an attitude about him, reminds me a bit of that other idiot Clattenburg. Something needs to be done because I heard the other week they earn around 70-100k a year. Now if I did a job on that wage and every week was questioned about my performance all the time, I'd be sacked. They don't have to do interviews or anything. It's like they are untocuahble and we are just meant accept shit decisions every single week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to think this is some sort of Aussie revenge for us sending Ross McCormack to them. Why else would you fly a ref that is this shit to the other side of the globe. The PL has enough useless refs that they don't need to import more of them from Australia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make it a profession that ex youth foot ballers see as a viable career, make it younger better paid and more professional and people identified and trained specifically for the role from a young age like as soon as they're released from academies Instead it's PE teachers with a gym pass The guy today seemingly changed his mind on what a foul was at half time, another week with a ref who was booed by both sets of fans 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
