Had he deemed Cash had attempted to play the ball (which he clearly did attempt, and not only attempt but succeed in doing) , then VAR would have overruled. So VAR if they were not stupid overrules that penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted August 17 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17 Comfortable till Cash has his brain fade. Will be an interesting 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 17 Moderator Share Posted August 17 I think we're playing well and there's no reason why we can't go on to win this. Awful decision though and exactly what VAR was brought in to prevent. Aston Villa 1 Premier League 1 at HT - plenty to play for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted August 17 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17 Just now, Rodders said: the "i got a touch" hasn't been a defence for several years now if you also go through the guy. Not sure why it's been given so much credence here. He didn't go "through" him, that's why. He stretched out his leg. It's how you get the ball.

Genie Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Just now, Troglodyte said: Irrelevant if there is no possibility of injuring the opponent or any malicious intent. Cash went to play the ball and got it. The VAR said he didn't attempt to play the ball which is absolutely **** ludicrous Exactly, pathetic defence which should be investigated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastVillan Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Should be 3-0 but thanks to ref and VAR not willing to correct his mistake it's 1-1. What's the point of playing so well if it's undone on inept officials? Need to get back to how we were playing and we'll win this. Still hate football though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanmac Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 TBF I understand getting the ball doesn't mean it isn't a penalty but Soucek has just left his leg in after Cash got the ball and fell over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steero113 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Beautifully set up for Duran to thunderbast**d one in from 25 yards and Adebayor knee skid in front of the home fans brandishing the irons in the 88th min. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So VAR if they were not stupid overrules that penalty. I think it’s a penalty because although he very slightly touched the ball, he then tangled with Soucek preventing him from touching the ball.. the ball was still alive and in play despite Cash’s minor touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science should study him as the first human born without a brain He lost the header battle and was late thereafter. Not well played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 We've missed out on three points already I think. Had the chances for 3 or 4. Wouldn't be surprised if West Ham make 2+ changes at HT and they'll be a different side. Starting team is hilariously shit from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it's been given so much credence here. He didn't go through the guy to get the touch. They tangled legs after Cash had won the ball. I still feel Cash was stupid to make the tackle, but that's the wrong call by the ref and VAR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Cash gets the ball first. Soucek then sticks his legs out intentionally to get tangled up with cash. Thats how i saw it. Not a pen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
