Cheated and why no VAR

Stupid of Gibbs to give the ref the opportunity but that’s never a penalty.

Grealish has so much “previous” you’d think ANY modern day ref would be ready for such duplicitous tactics.

On a post earlier someone mentioned that if we didn’t have rotten luck we’d have no luck at all.....he’s not far wrong.

If this was the gods “balancing up” our dubious equaliser in the 2-2 draw then I suppose some will say it’s “Karma”.

Losing Gayle on top of this is a very bitter pill i suspect we won’t overcome.

I’d like to see us upset their expectations at home by doing something radical like sticking a centre half up front to ruffle their back line or play the 16 year old striker who they know nothing about.

I suspect we’ll fall into the trap of playing J Rod on his own and end up meekly fading away.

Mind you, the fact that Villa have made diving into an art form doesn't help. I just hope that whoever is in charge at the Hawthorns isn't conned as much as today's officials were.

HI Mick, never thought of using a centre half up front, Hegazi would love it up there and he's got the best back heal since that striker Buckley signed ( forgot his name).

Such class - if you bothered yourself to look at my posts on our board you'd see I agreed there was no contact with Grealish and you should have had a pen. The post to which you're replying is solely about the alleged punch by Hourihane - try a bit harder to consider the detail before you reply you idiot.

You also conveniently ignore Gayle's blatant cheating by going to ground clutching his forehead after Hourihane's hand touched his jawbone.
