I'm still seething about that officiating this morning.

Maybe the yellow card for JWP. It was quite clearly our throw, Targett took it quickly before the lino had even flagged, JWP rightly tried to stop it because it quite blatantly came off Targett and should have been our throw. And he gets a yellow for it. Ridiculous.

Did Ralph say "maybe three" about the injuries?

And in this instance, Roy Keane is absolutely right. If it's so unclear, the benefit of the doubt MUST go to the attacking team. We watch football to see goals, not officials using every possible excuse they can to disallow them.

Apparently so. Nothing to stop them deliberately handballing after it's hit another body part first under the current rules.

The fucker of that is that if Ings had used that part of his arm to score, Mason would have disallowed it anyway.

That is a fucking joke

And he even had the fucking nerve to say he had gone 90 minutes without mentioning it. Prick.

HE LITERALLY DIDN'T TOUCH HIM FFS!

Oh fuck off Grealish you diving little prick.

How the hell did that stay out!?

Finally, Mason gives something our way. Can only imagine the ironic cheers he would be getting right now if there were fans in the ground.

Oh fuck this. That was such a blatant foul. If Lee Mason ever referees in the PL again after this it will be a fucking travesty.

Yay. A shot at goal.

Jesus. Even the taters are siding with Villa now.

How is that a foul on Martinez FFS!? Romeu literally didn't touch him!

Oh fuck off Mason. Seriously, just fuck the fuck off. If that's a foul then I'm Ghengis Khan.

Valery must be so pissed. The first choice player in your position is injured so the manager puts a CM there and leaves you on the bench. He then gets injured, and the manager puts on a left winger instead of you.

Djenepo at RB? Does Ralph really have that little faith in Valery?

And then booked JWP for, rightly, trying to stop it after the Villa player took the throw before the lino raised his flag either way. It's corruption. There's no other explanation for such blatant incompetence.

Fucksake Mason. That was clearly our throw!

Holy shit, you're right. Not even close. I wasn't really paying attention at the time so assumed that was why. What the hell has the lino seen there then? And why did he not follow the guidance of letting play on before raising his flag? Something is very wrong here.

Are you sure it wasn't for the previous ball to Stu?

Our current inability to stick the ball in the net is going to completely derail what was looking like being an excellent season.

What the actual fuck? If you're not going to give a penalty for that then you might as well do away with the handball rule altogether. That is fucking ridiculous.
