villa4europe Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Can imagine Palace fans are fuming at our goal, I would be too of they scored it If the defender tried to play the ball then that's a foul imo but he doesn't he's trying to play Watkins and loses out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any replay or TV of it, but from my angle Watkins did really well to fight through a foul to get to the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the TV replay the Watkins shirt pulling looked more apparent to me But it was definitely both of them at it, the defender facing the wrong way the entire time says it all, he's trying to block the run rather than win the ball Another one where it might not be consistent and you can speculate that if Watkins did it to VVD it probably wouldn't be a goal but to be fair I don't think VVD would get himself in to that much of a mess position wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injury time is an absolute farce It is and has been for a long time, yet I've never seen it as bad as yesterday. The stoppage began on almost exactly 90 minutes and play didn't start again until almost exactly 92, so it was clear that we should be playing until 96 at least. I didn't expect that we'd get that long (nor that it would have made a difference), but I didn't expect the corruption/incompetence to be that severe and blatant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ederson sat on the floor for at least 90 seconds of the 4 mins injury time and the ref blew on 94:20 The 4 minutes injury time is a nonsense anyway. It's so arbitrary. And then they barely ever add stuff on. The Man City vs Real Madrid Extra time was even worse to be honest. The ref blew up early 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 There's not a lot you can do when an incompetent, unfit ref gets a farewell game in which he demonstrates the former qualities in one of the most important games of the season. And now he's retired, he gets to be the top boss of elite refs, despite being completely incompetent himself. Tierney on VAR too, he's not retiring. He still has many years left. Either he's that incompetent that he didn't spot the obvious contact for either appeal or he didn't want to make his future boss look silly on his big goodbye. Either way, the issue is deeply systematic and won't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
