Villa in the Championship play off final two years running ... some achievement that ... don’t get the hate for them 

I admit if Villa go up iv had a result betting wise, but the hatred on here is like what the ****. If we haven't gone up  who cares who dose?

Then Villa should get a kick with no WBA player able to take theirs.

Then it would be back to first penalties (if Villa missed).

It should be part of the "penalty" (i.e. disadvantage) for being sent off.

That’s the point they have an extra penalty taker. So if goes to 11th they have a free penalty, otherwise no point in the man advantage. Seems a bit unfair to me.

Can’t agree with this. You can’t give the side with 10 men a penalty less than the opposition. You’re effectively punishing the team twice for having a man sent off. It’s a disproportionate punishment for the crimes of one player and unfair on the rest of the team.

However, I do agree that the team with 11 men shouldn’t have to use their last-choice  penalty taker while the team with 10 gets to go back to the first. The simple solution is that both teams get to go back to their first choice after 10 each.

They cheat financially, happy to overlook?

They are bigheads.

Great sense of entitlement. Fans, players and management alike!

They get the rub of the green from officials aplenty- not their fault a lot of the time but do you recall the disgrace of a penalty they got against us a few short weeks ago?

Never mind what's not to like...'What's to like' a more apt turn of phrase. 

Genuinely, don't see why neutrals would warm to them much.

Do you think Man City are worthy premier league champions? Or happy to overlook? 

Not sure I’ve ‘warmed to them’ where Villa is concerned, just recognising their achievement of getting to the play off final two years running in the fifth best division in the world ...

I’m over the moon that he gave some money away. I respect that, in your opinion, this makes it all better.

In my opinion, all of the traits I’ve described speak to a person who is ***** that I dislike. 

Fair enough, I respect your opinion .... I just can’t agree that someone who annoys you on a football pitch can be described as an “awful human being” ... especially a guy who does so much for his local community and helping young people ...

I think their breaches are more historic, that they've deceived- if anything Man City and the lengths they went to make them worse. Then again, blatantly ignoring the regs openly also fairly shit.

Won't deny 2 playoff finals in a row is good work, speaks for itself but there's a lot to dislike IMO.

The team in this case has had an advantage for a good 40 minutes, handing them a free penalty is overkill.

Leeds for me - earlier in the season played some nice football.

Villa I havnt seen anything positive from them this season. Couple of individual performances and some lucky decisions. Also very poor from West Brom to get a man sent off both legs - I would be livid if we did he same!!

Hope Leeds go up. 

Villa have spent way over what they should have been allowed to, their fans are totally self righteous and they haven't half been helped on their way this season....

Our pen at home to QPR was embarrassing - but every other club is worse ....

It was nowhere near as embarrassing as Villa's against us

You’re right - but both were just nowhere near being penalties - is it me or does there seem to have been more controversial penalties this season in our div than ever before? It seems every time I watch a game live or on tv there’s a hugely controversial incident in a penalty box ...

I completely agree, and it's why the FA really needs to look at introducing VAR in the football league. 

The Man City v Spurs game is a prime example of where a controversial decision can change the game. Had there been no VAR Sterling's goal would have counted, but there was and so Spurs went through deservedly. 

In rugby you rarely get decisions that are controversial because the referee gets another couple of looks at decisions with advice, the game doesn't always low as well but it rules out the referee missing anything, which as he/she is only human, they are bound to do on occasion.

Pisano had a goal disallowed in the 2nd half at 1-1 though, wrongly. 

Nobody knows what can happen for sure, we might have conceded a late equaliser as we did v Wigan but we copped a bad one earlier in the game. Was it a penalty at AG? Unlikely. Was Pisano's goal that would have made it 2-1 wrongly disallowed? I think so.

The difference was that at Aston Villa we got the penalty go against and the Weimann disallowed goal. The latter I can understand being real time, being tight but to get both against you in one game is a bitter pill- bad luck, or something else?

It’s certainly bad luck but I really don’t think anything sinister is going on in our game - I may be wrong of course - but I just can’t believe that a linesman would be told before the game to flag incorrectly so the ref can disallow a Bristol City goal because the EFL wants to ensure that the big clubs are favoured to give them a better chance of promotion.

As I said I may be wrong - but if the big clubs are being favoured - why weren’t Leeds given the most blatant of pens away at Brentford late in the season? It was an absolutely nailed-on pen ... and Leeds went on to lose 2-0 in a vital game for them ...

Yeah, in my angrier moments I wondered about the 'something else', but bad luck definitely. Don't go in for the conspiracy myself but your other post is right, there have been a lot of bad calls this year- not just penalties either but notably these.

Can't see there being a conspiracy really but one thing is for sure, if it evens out then we're due a few next year! ;)

VAR for Championship playoffs minimum is needed IMO. Refs need some support, game is ever quicker and more complex.

Should be in EVERY game all season or none at all. The farce of picking certain games in the FA Cup should never have been allowed.
