    Kodjia “injured” himself in a ridiculous attempt to win the ball and feigned injury when his attempt failed.

    He then went off purely to try to fool everyone he was injured.

    All this said Leeds were a disgrace in looking as if they were going to kick the ball out and then playing on.

    Two absolute s h I t house clubs both of low moral fortitude.

    Both have complete and utter tossers as supporters too! Big Clubs in the days of Petula Clark! Although Down Town is far far away from the s hit hole called Witton!

    FFS - Grealish has not been booked for diving in the entire season and trying to injure a player to improve promotion chances is disgraceful. He is the most fouled player in the league, despite a lengthy layoff after playing your lot - I'm all for rivalry & banter but for the good of the game there has to be fair play. The real cheat is that w***er J Rod - I've a feeling at least one of the playoff games is going to be marred by p1ss poor officials - all to play for.
    Come on - Grealish goes down more than a **** in Witton!! Perhaps he’s taking lessons from that absolute thug ( most would say
    w anker ) called John Terry!

    To my mind, losing possession and then feigning injury to stop play is a far worse misdemeanour than handling the ball. The only way to cut it out is to play on unless the ref. stops the game. Seem obvious to me!

    Well, Grealish is a diving ******* and cheating w**ker, if even he hasn’t been booked for it this season. Then, of course, there is an abundance of them in modern football, so he isn’t alone.

    Feigning injury is for me much more cheating than handling the ball, and, there is also, sadly so, an abundance of players using that particular ”method”.

    Would that be the same Grealish who was sent off against us for Diving?
    Total and utter Bell end. If he played for anyone else you'd change your tune.

    If he played for you would your tune change? Handling the ball is "less cheating" than feigning injury?!! Again if this were us playing you and the ball was handled into the goal by one of ours would you change your tune? Deafening silence over the point made by baggieal of stamping on his feet to get him injured for the playoffs and gain an advantage - thought you lot were better than that.

    J Rod - against us for Southampton threw himself to the ground when there was no-one near him and the ref gave a pen, which he scored for the 3 points. I do agree that Grealish sometimes goes to ground too easily and Ashley Young had his fair share of critics including myself when he was with us. They do draw fouls too and Grealish is kicked all over the pitch, happened on his home debut as an 18 year old vs Hull - 3 bookings in the first 15 mins after he came on, all legit.

    When he got sent off for diving 4 seasons ago against you - that's kind of my point, he dived and was booked yet he's accused of diving all the time and is never booked. No-one seems to care that a very talented footballer and potential future England lynchpin is getting clattered time & again.

    Like I said in my earlier post, you win some, you lose some. No football fans can really complain about handballs, time wasting or fouling as they all do it or are Villa different in that none of their players have deliberately gone in to take someone out? Donkey Hutton on Jason Koumas anyone? A chest high tackle studs first that could have caused more than a serious injury. Get my point?

    Genuine questions to any passing Villa supporters.

    Do you think Kodjia's equaliser against Stoke at Villa Park earlier this season should have stood?

    (please follow the twitter link provided below courtesy of a Leeds supporter)

    https://twitter.com/Max_LUFC/status/1123334079460589568

    Should your players have kicked the ball into touch so the Stoke player could receive treatment?

    Should Villa have allowed Stoke to run through on goal from the kick off following your late equaliser?

    Were the Villa players sporting and did they play within the spirit of the game?

    Is Dean Smith an unsporting, hypocritical, whinging and or classless manager?

    Just wondered that's all........ .

    Should Villa have allowed Stoke to run through on goal from the kick off following your late equaliser? No, because no Villa player on the ball slowed and played the ball as if it were to go out, thus Stoke were not expecting the game to stop.

    Were the Villa players sporting and did they play within the spirit of the game? No

    Is Dean Smith an unsporting, hypocritical, whinging and or classless manager? No, he walks on water

    Just wondered that's all........ .
    Is J Rod a cheating cnut?
