swaib2004 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 If that's a yellow card we may as well wrap up. Turning into flipping netball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 he was though, he slid in and then half way through flicked his leg out and won the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain-from-Texas Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 At first glance, I thought the tackle deserved a red. So I cant fault the ref for showing a yellow. But on the replay, it in fact looked like a perfect tackle. It wasn't even a foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Delph was decent. I thought he got caught in possession 2 or 3 times, but was otherwise good. In contrast I thought El Ahmadi was class today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted September 30, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2012 looked good today, very good at times. on the booking though, he won the ball true enough. even as recently as 10-15 years ago that would have been classed as a great tackle. it's not 10 years ago though, it's now, and he caught the player after he'd won the ball with his studs up, if he'd gone in with both feet it was a red, even if he won the ball first. not saying it's right, but that's just how it is. so glad to see him looking like a player again. the PL effect seems to working well on a lot of our players that people were giving up hope on.

maqroll Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The boy has class to burn, he just needs more games, and to stay healthy. I'm hopeful he can still make a big mark with Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't think there was anything wrong with his tackle. Wasn't even a foul IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thought Delph played well. Always wanted the ball and didn't go AWOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't think there was anything wrong with his tackle. Wasn't even a foul IMO. I thought the same to be honest. Don't get me wrong, Delph has a rash tackle in him, he often dives in. But this was on the ground, one footed, controlled and he couldn't have got more of the ball. Studs were showing, but there was no way it was excessive force. He was unlucky to get booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It was a great tackle, got the ball first pretty cleanly, the follow through wasn't exactly bad either. It's a shame that tackles like that are being erased from the game, it's what you'd call a 'proper' tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't think there was anything wrong with his tackle. Wasn't even a foul IMO. I thought the same to be honest.

Studs were showing, but there was no way it was excessive force. He was unlucky to get booked. Definitely agreed. But, in the defence of the ref, I first thought it looked like a really bad tackle. It was only on the replay that I saw that it was a clean tackle. I thought he had a decent game. Both him and KEA. But they need to be a bit more creative and stronger. But KEA is still learning the english game and Delph hasn't played that much so far even if he's been here for 3 years now. Or is it more? They can both improve a lot. They have the basic qualities, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 In this day and age it was a booking - not a sending off though. He did get the ball but it's a simplistic view to take when he goes into the man as well and you can't condone that as a ref, so it was fair enough. I think some people would be talking about this differently if the tackle was on Delph rather than by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Unfortunately tackles like that will be punished in this day and age.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 No, no way. He didn't go in with force or uncontrolled. It's still allowed to tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Nope! To me it's not the fact he got booked, it's the inconsistencies, the Jacob bloke made a similar tackle from behind, he gets spoken too. Macauley tries to hack down Gabby in full flight, no booking. This is what irritates me about refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
