pacbuddies Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yes Phil Dowd is a w**ker but don't be so bloody blinkered as to think that we were the better team and he cost us the game. Wake up and smell the coffee all you one eyed idiots and realise that we have a shit manager and poor tactics and we are going backwards under the current set up.

Simon_Jones Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I have asked this question before, I have loads of letters after my name fcma etc but I struggle to understand why this guy has been let any where near our great team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 11 v 11 we would have probably won. McLeish obviously thought we needed a more physical prescence in the midfield so he brought on Heskey. But I don't understand why he continues with Bannan. Local derbys are usually war zones so I would have picked a physical side, Heskey instead of Banan. Herd was battling well before he got sent off. Given made some class saves. Dunne had a good game. Bent doesn't contribute much apart from the pen. N'Zogbia another game passes by where he is infuriatingly shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 **** off Phil Dowd. He's always **** us over (Carling Cup final) Is there a way we can get this word removed banned from refereeing our matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yes the sending off changed the game etc... which I agree with. However 0 attempts on target isn't good enough regardless of the sending off.. that was also WBA's first win in 32 years at VP. No attempts on target... we scored... Penalties dont count in stats for attempts on target. Not sure why, but they don't. Since when? What a stupid **** rule that is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Realistically best case scenario we get ourselves to 20points going into the New Year. Like it or not we are right in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Totally disagree on the Hutton challenge on Long. It was in front of us and totally fair, he went in hard and won the ball. Dowd had a downer on Herd from kick off telling off for strong challenges so he probably creamed his shorts when the opportunity arose to send him off. Olsson was punching Herd in the shoulder and had was pulling him backwards by the scruff of the neck. As far as I could see Herd stepped backwards and trod on Olsson who did not appeal for anything. Then linesman and Dowd got involved and he's red carded. I listened to Olsson being interviewed on Radio Five on the way home and he could not explain it either. He categorically did not say he was stamped on. Up until that point I thought Herd was our MotM. Yet another example of piss poor refereeing that will be brushed under th carpet. As for the game our inability to defend at set pieces is very worrying. Bent for me was awful. He nearly missed the penalty and missed a complete sitter and was bossed by their centre backs all afternoon. Bannan was very good as was Gabby, both never gave up. Prior to the red card we were playing well and I believe we would have gone on to win the game. Albion are a very average side who got lucky today. As for everyone getting excited about the lack of shots on target. FFS we played two thirds of the game with ten men. Oh and the crowd was 34k for a local derby, another piss poor performance, and that was after heavy discounting of ticket prices. You can't help but think the board have dropped a bollock over how they are running the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 How tempting would it be for a linesman whose regular job is a postman to accept an envelope containing 2 years worth of his wages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Btw - Albrighton continued to be crap, neither he, NZogbia or Heskey should be in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I have been to 5 homes games this season and seen us beat Blackburn and Wigan (2 teams favourite for the drop), draw with shitty Wolves, draw with Shitty Newcastle and lose to Shitty West Brom.

pacbuddies Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 McLeish has significantly lowered our attendances and reduced the quality of football to SHA levels. The season will be long and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish on Chris Herd's controversial red card in his side's defeat by West Brom: "The sending-off cost us severely - no doubt about it. The kid had started the game really well and we were looking good at that point. In the pictures I have seen it looked as if Chris was extricating his foot from Jonas Olsson's grasp and Olsson didn't react to it. If you'd been stamped on, you'd expect the player to complain."

Wake up and smell the coffee all you one eyed idiots and realise that we have a shit manager and poor tactics and we are going backwards under the current set up. Pretty sure it was 1-0 at 11v11. Phil Dowd cost us the game, no doubt about it. Easily the most pathetic refereeing performance I've ever seen, even worse than his Cup Final outing.

We were unbeaten until last week and do you really think Newcastle are a good team? If you do then you have a low threshold of satisfaction.

TRO Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 The midfield still isn't good enough. N'Zogbia is shit. Bent will only get his goals from the penalty spot at this rate. Horror decision by the linesman, but nonetheless, this is still a team that has a massive hole in it's midfield, and a mediocre back four. But this is the beginning of austerity measures at Villa, even though we PAID to hire AM :shock:, the obvious near term path now is trimming the fat, staying within our means, and staying afloat. We have a manager who is just happy to have a job, and players who have just enough quality to keep us up. I'm not even angry, to be honest. None of it is shocking anymore. .....could'nt put it any better. Ps its all so pretty inevitable and probably predictable.....thats what makes it all so boring.
