Davies4England Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Very good performance from us, as usual when we play it on the ground rather then hoofing it forward we are a huge threat. On the other hand Blackburn look very clueless and it's easy to understand why so little have turned up. Unimpressed with the ref, mainly for the Agbonlahor decision. Although it was hard to tell it was more of a foul then a dive. Can't blame him for the Samba handball in the end though, impossible to tell, even though he gave it against Heskey... Milner and Downing have been brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 unlucky not to have had 2 pens, if gabby would have fell over normally instead of throwing himself on the floor i think we might have got the first. there was contact but it did look like a dive in real time 2nd one obvious handball need to capitalize on this now. when we play it on the floor we look good. makes you wonder why we seem to want to give it to carlos all the time and punt from the back so much. i reckon we can get down the left hand side easier and should attack down that side more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Demitri_C. How has Heskey been poor? I think he's give the ball away a total of about once. All he's doing for us dropping into the hole, finding good positions and allowing midfield to play off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Bloody hell, Gabby's incident is debatable but that was a blatant handball! What the hell was the ref thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 14, 2010 Moderator Share Posted January 14, 2010 Not been any arguments over either pen that the rest of you are talking about. We are too far away. It would have been interesting to see if he'd have made the same decisions in front of the Villa fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 After seeing the handball several times I seriously can't see how it got given against us. All you can see are long white sleeves smacking the ball, I thought the entire point of different colour kits were for the easy identification of teams? Maybe it's time we issued the team with claret gloves to ensure incompetant refs can see when we don't handle the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted January 14, 2010 Moderator Share Posted January 14, 2010 Heskey has done his bit. Should have got a shot off when Stab found him in space but fairs fair he has put in a good shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 By the way, this is only the 5th time this season we've been able to field what I'd call "our strongest" front 6. I think it's showing, we are very classy when we have our best team, it's just one injury **** us over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshare Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 sorry - i really think gabby asked for his yellow. he should have just kept running - that way he would have made contact with the lunging foot that the defender had clumsily left in his way and got a legitimate pen. as it was he cleared it like sergei bubka minus the stick and made himself look a right t1t. the ref has been cack all game but if it had been the other way we would have been screaming "cheat" before he had time to land.
