agree, tis a joke, Barmby was going for the ball. nothing wrong imo.

why no match thread for this one btw? being a top4 club surely ye should have one

If Barmby had been up head height with Friedel, making a genuine attempt to play the ball, then I'd agree with you. He wasn't though, he caught Friedel around the hip area and knocked him off balance.

in fairness, Friedel is a tad taller than Barmby

not barmbys fault either, so is he not allowed jump for it too? friedel didnt have the ball in his hands, its there for Barmby to challenge.

Yeah but he needs to get it cleanly without plowing into the keeper, which he didn't do.

he hit the keepers hip, same way a minute ago yer man hit his leg

impacts in those places completely throw you off balances, which is why theyre outlawed

thems the rules

Mr Alan

i thought there was no special rules for a goalie?

couldnt i say brads hip hit barmbys ribs? or with the second incident that his knee hit the attacker?

Friedel is hitting them in the same way they are hitting him, both people are just trying to get to the ball. pisses me off

Villain

Hull want a draw going to be a painful second half

Villain

If you were allowed to jump into keepers Hull would be one up and Villa would have scored probably 5 more goals this season sadly thats not the case, but no point complaining anyone that has watched a game of soccer over the last few years will know thats the case.

Jesus get over yourself. He put it in with his hand anyway

Mr Alan

i dont think they are Helix.....?

i could be wrong though.

Have you watched much soccer over the last 5 years? or maybe your waiting for it all to change so your favourite club could be 1-0

Mr Alan

yea i watch a lot of football......

its just a pet hate of mine the protections goalies get.

Bounty Hunter

I wouldent usually say this but I think we should bring on the Hare:eek:

Hull are sitting back and trying to just negate our quick attacking play so we need instead to get more options upfront so that we have more outlets for our midfielders and their unusual amount of possesion to avail of. The Hare although not usually good enough to even get off the bench might just cause enough havok with his all energy approach that something might happen. This is the type of match we miss Carew in

Mine too but I have watched enough soccer to know thats the modern game and I don't go into a pool thread every time the opposition have a goal disallowed for jumping into Reina saying it have been allowed

We we need to change something Hull want a draw so Harewood might be an option

Mr Alan

in fairness i wouldve gone into the match thread if there was one.

Helix

if you were allowed to touch the keeper, then there wouldnt be free outs in every single game every single week for doing just that

Supermanscat

Just after seeing how many english men are in the Villa line up. Remarkable number in todays day and age!

Helix

this match is a load of cock

we're completely unable to break down teams like this, no creative spark at all

Trampas

Anyone else hear Dion Dublin laughing in the background after the camera left the fat bloke in the hull jersey.

Does it matter? We're Irish.

invincibleirish

Helix

ahahahaha

oh lord

Bounty Hunter

wooo completley undeserved but i dont care, Villa go 3pts ahead of Le Arse again

Villa do it again. If Villa's goals were women, they'd be pregnant.

I was typing KILL THE REFEREE until the Linesman informed him of his mistake.

Jesus, that Steve Bennett is a joke of a referee. Absolutely shocking.

Didn't Agbonlahor do enough of that during the summer???

Villain

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Bounty Hunter

yep Bennet was terrible today both teams should be unhappy with him, just thankfull that it was clearly not a Peno so that Hulll cant blame that for the loss (not that Villa deserved to win). back to 4th anyway (joint 3rd on pts), an ugly win is still a win.

Time Magazine

Steve Bennett nearly gave me a heart attack. Gobshite.

Awful game all round. It's good to see us winning these sorts of games though, makes a huge difference.

20 games through, we're five points better off at this point last season. Was it Helix who wanted a 10 point increase on last year's total? We're on the right track for that. We're looking at around 70 points this season if we keep going. That'd be 28 points more than when DO'L/DE were around. 70 points almost always gets 4th place.

My point was that in the modern era in the EPL where many teams are dominated my foreign imports that Villa's team having nine players was something different and refreshing perhaps. And if you are so bloody patriotic why not support your own league instead of the EPL?

I do both.

Supermanscat

Good for you, my reply was my comeback to what i felt was an unhelpful comment. After all this is an Aston Villa discussion thread!

Bounty Hunter

tbh despite not being English i like the fact that our team is primarily an english one, the players have the same culture/language/mentality etc as each other and perhaps work better with each other because of it.

Of course one or two foreign recruits can be needed for players/positions english players arent all that strong in i.e Carew: the big strong target man upfront (the best england has is Heskey afterall in this role) and hopefully our next recruit a creative striker like Luis Suarez

Supermanscat

Exactly! My point was that it was unusual to see it thats all.
