Just seen the goals. What a joke and where does it end? Watching Spurs v West Ham yesterday . Spurs get a free kick on the edge of the area and hit into the wall but the ball comes back to them. A West Ham player stays down looking like he's been shot but as soon as Spurs lose the ball he's up like Lazurus.
A draw I see. The way Villa are going, I think they could well be back in the Premier league next season, and Leeds will end with nothing, which is harsh after the season they've had, but as we know, that's the risk of the play-offs.
Just play to the whistle. Players can't be deciding when the other team should stop the game, that's the refs job. It wasn't a head injury, the behaviour of the Villa players was a disgrace.

No f*cking VAR needed here. Bamford gets a tiny push on the shoulder and goes down holding his head!!!Quote:

In the Chelsea v United game this evening Martin Atkinson showed exactly how not to deal with stopping the game. Azpilicueta took a forearm to the jaw from Matic and the ref played on, ignoring that he was down holding his face after being clocked, then played advantage in the second half when Willian escaped having his ankle broken by Rojo in an awful tackle and the advantage lasted until Chelsea put the ball out because Willian was clearly injured
Let's imagine Macc are losing to the Mighty Cambo we are at 0-0 with only minutes to play. A Swindon player goes down, not a foul, we are on the attack, do we put the ball out or go on and score. I say score and sod the moral high ground.
