StefanAVFC Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 What a bizarre half of officiating. There weren’t even late flags at times, just no flags. Bizarre inconsistency on fouls and then a situation where a foul is given to Chelsea, yellow to Digne and a VAR check for a red on the player Digne apparently fouled 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Good half. Zaniolo looks class. Dougie and Kamara have been superb. Watkins not in the game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 The more the game went on, the more confident we got. We’re growing into it quite well. Just need a goal to us the belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 24, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2023 Old Villa would lose this game. It's on a knife edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Actually thought the ref had been basically okay until the last 5 minutes or so, but dunno WTF he was playing at at the end there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we are doing well tbh, apart from Watkins who hasn’t touched the ball yet? Yep, not in the game and easily knocked off the ball . Give it 15-20 mins then bring Duran on if no change.

Icarium Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 As an Australian im embarrassed my country both produced this ref and that he is also considered to be the 'best' Aussie ref 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I think him tackling our player 3 or 4 minutes in was an indication of the kind of refereeing we were going to see today, but I still expected him to be able to count to 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaniolo has hardly ever played on the left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Kamara has been excellent, as has Zani. But for two great saves we'd be all smiling. I think we need to start pressing a bit more higher now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted September 24, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2023 We're playing well and I think edging it - their keeper has made two excellent saves and the referee has shown signs of getting flaky - give em 15 more minutes of Ollie then unleash the beast and we can take this. Strange at the end, gave three minutes of added time, we spent the first one trying to get blood off Digne and then he blew up before we'd finished the second one. If Digne's volley had gone in, we'd have been talking about it for years. Kamara looks much, much brighter which suggests we need to find a way to keep him motivated for the smaller games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR has made it worse too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2023 Ref is a clown. Refused to give fouls all half, the Digne thing was absurd, and then he just decides to finish the half when he fancies it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
