It's Your Round Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Gregg should just leave the Villa stuff to the new lad now. I can’t see the point of him joining Bardell on 1874, he’s got very limited info about Villa and is focusing all his attention on Liverpool and golf now. How long before he’s banging on about how much more amazing Liverpool are, on a Villa pod. We don’t want it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you and @tomav84 so bothered by that? It happened, Hawkeye not working was very fortunate for us. And a highly notable moment for us staying up that season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a major incident like goal line technology failing shouldn’t be a factor in that seasons story, because of “justice”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a highly notable moment for us staying up that season. I am bothered that a moment in a game with over an hour left to play is being made out as the only reason we stayed up. We were fortunate with Covid, and how Project Restart played out. Long story short, I’m not debating that it was a fortunate incident, but no more so than any other refereeing mistake that happen in games every day, all over the world. To say it was the ONLY reason we stayed up damages their journalistic integrity imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the only reason, and no one claims it was, but it’s the most notable to anyone who isn’t a Villa fan. that incident was big news across all football, not just for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
