A great start, you caught them cold then suprise, suprise a penalty.
Welcome to the "Premiership" this will teach you to play well against a "Big club".
Actualy I have a lot of respect for Villa but fair play to you for holding the score down with 10 men. Villa I though would struggle this season even with M O'N but it looks like the higher archie are looking after their own again.
Get used to it the more of a threat you are the more the Prem weill cain you.

Get used to it the more of a threat you are the more the Prem weill cain you. In all honesty, I saw that penalty call earlier and whilst you will scream BIASED at me I have to say I think it was one. Moore is only a lightweight fella, and with a big galoot like Sonko leaning on his back like that he's gonna go down. He wrecked a goalscoring oppurtunity, and it was far less contentious than the Stevie G pen on Saturday. If every time a pen is given against you, you blame it on being a small club, you won't get anywhere. |

watch it again mate, thats not what it was given for. even though sonko is a big old boy your bloke actually pushed him off the ball fairly, sonko then lost his footing and when he was goin down got a VERY SLIGHT bit of contact with moore's back leg.
dont get me wrong i do think it was a pen even though sonko didnt have any control of what he hit seeing as he was falling over, i just didnt think the red was to fair.

Last man denies a scoring opportunity. The ref saw it as a foul and followed the letter of the law. |

Fair enough I don't think there was intent there, but that's another issue. It was a penalty, and if he's giving a penalty for that rule, then he has to show a red. If he hadn't given a penalty I would've been furious. |

Its the consistency that is lacking. Watching last nights MOTD. Portsmouth were denied a penalty for handball and then Ben (thug) Thatcher commits assault and gets off with a yellow.
Dermot Gallagher and his assistant who must have seen the latter need suspending!

Dermot Gallagher and his assistant who must have seen the latter need suspending! Yep. Thatcher needs a very, very lengthy ban for that. When I say lengthy I mean the rest of the season. For someone who is actually a fairly decent defender, I find it a shame that he does things like that from time to time and gets away with it. If he doesn't get what's due to him this time I'll be shocked. |

That would send out the right message. |

yeah true, word for word on the law he did get it spot on. but he could have used common sence a bit, the goal on its own was punishment enough but what the hey its done now so fook it  |

Damn right. I just watched it again and whilst I can understand the Royals disappointment, I stand by what I've said. Reading still lokk handy though. You and the Blades will stay up I reckon.  |

the rules of the game state that if the last man brings down a player whos in on goal its a red and penalty....clear as day....but i also think (and ive seen it done) that a referee should use common sence...sonks aint light on his feet at the best of times and when a big fella like him falls...its not going to be gracefull....and with referance to other events of last night (namely mister thatcher) i think sonks red card was very harsh...if you can get a yello for smacking a player out cold hows falling over a red?
