No Justice in Football

[MapperleyMagpie]

So the cheating, disgusting antics of Wimbledon win through, no justice in football.

I guess it means Walsall will be crest fallen and it may benefit us next season.

Speaking of no justice in football, Villa fans must be seething after a major cock up by the ref. How much money has that cost the club?

Plenty of justice. Wimbledon do the dirty stuff well, and that's what winners are made of, while nice finishes nowhere. We shouldn't moan about it, we should learn from it. They've not got better players than us, they just use them in a more effective way.

I'll never forgive Walsall for beating us in the PO SF's in 88, it mattered so much more to me then that it does now, so I can't say I'm upset by this result. Maybe Wimbledon have done us a bit of favour in winning today, demonstrating that being a bit more 'street wise' can get you where you want to be.

We were managed by a wimp, and he had us playing like a girls team. We got everything that we deserved. So a lesson for the new incoming coach to take on board..

I'm actually hoping the new coach doesn't require lessons tbh.

Horrible game. They've just won the exact same game 4 times 1-0. Walsall were worse than us if that's any consolation. The writing was on the wall as soon as they scored, but Walsall did nothing to stop the game drifting to its obvious conclusion.

What price at least 2 of those promoted teams coming straight back down again. Wimbledon for sure, a cast-iron certainty if they lose the young England loanee keeper from Crystal Palace.

Not having a go at you specifically OP, but I don't get this mentality. If our team was a bit more streetwise and it got us promoted, we'd applaud them for it.

Football is a physical game, and sometimes you have to be a bit nasty to get a result.

Fair play to them.

It's not so much about being nasty, more about taking advantage of what refs don't seem to punish these days. Blatant shirt pulling and wrestling holds when challenging for a header appear to be allowed if you're a defender, but not an attacker. Rugby tackles in the penalty area seem to be allowed if you're defending, but not if you're attacking. From what I've seen, the opposition do it a lot more than we do.

So should we continue to play nice, or should we join them?
