Emery isn't actually that great a manager. He has been found out in the PL again. Teams know how to play against Villa.
He’s no better than Howe. And it shows that most clubs under financial pressures struggle. The rules need to change because it’s all geared towards the top six.
Totally T If there was only to be one change in the Laws of the game it should be to allow the Fourth Official to inflict an injury on any player cheating/simulating which would cause the playacting the player had been simulating in the first place.
It's very simple 1. Newcastle get a big decision and that means it's the wrong decision and the decision is to be discussed. 2. A big decision goes against Newcastle and the incident isn't even discussed and instead the greatness of the opposition is to be discussed.
Should have got an extra game ban for appealing. Clear red card. Rogers should get a retrospective ban for being a cheating fanny.
It's one of them for me .. only the player knows but obviously villa fans will claim outright it was an accident and we'll claim otherwise. They have to accept the decision and stop acting like it was a robbery.
The funny thing is their fans screaming about intent. Intent is irrelevant under Law 12. Violent conduct is either committed or it isn't. It's strict liabilityesque. Their player endangered Schar by the way he ran into him with studs up. It's a red card under the laws of the game whether he meant it or not.
They got beat fair and square and can't just own that. They want to find an excuse and they've burrowed themselves into the ref excuse like a tick.
Sequence of pics. Joelinton pushing him, clearly at chest height. Lino waves for foul. Lino then instantly gestures to ref that it was chest height, so ref doesn't get sucked in to a red card by the play acting little twat. Fair play lino.
