Yep how about you just don't lose to an awful Man United team, who had zero to play for and had just had yet another crushing defeat in the Europa League final. Plus stop your stupid antagonist cretin of a goalkeeper from getting sent off then the rest might not have been an issue.

Villa missing out on the CL because Martinez made a massive fuck up is absolutely glorious tbh

 

[jd1981]

I think it probably has huge affect on how Villa operate this summer. Big financial void by missing out on the CL.
After the dust has settled they’ve just had a Spurs under Pochettino type season, lots of nearly moments but nothing achieved.

It's a monumental error that had a huge impact on the game...

But what do they think will happen with this 'complaint'? Do they expect the PL to restart the game from the time the error was made? Or maybe a big 'sorry' with a bunch of flowers?

And absolutely - the crowing from so many Villa fans about the Sheff Utd non-goal being 'one of those things' - now the shoe's on the other foot.

Seen a few Villa fans saying that they had other goals unfairly disallowed the season they benefited against SU. It’s almost as if officials make mistakes and sometimes they go for you and sometimes against. When they get a run of VAR errors half as bad as we did last year I’ll have some sympathy. Well I won’t but you get my point!

Just seen a video of that.

It was a car plowing through 10s of people at speed.

Awful.

Absolutely sickening

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

I've seen the video on WhatsApp, it's bad.

The usual suspects showing their true colours immediately of course.

All the usual dickheads in the comments saying religion of peace strikes again, stop the boats, stop this happening etc etc.
Police have arrested the driver so guess we’ll wait and see.

And it’s a white bloke, thats going to upset the racists

I couldn't give a fuck about anyone's identity politics crap, what a horrible human tragedy, God knows what led to it but it's grim

Neither do the people talking about it on here, that element wouldn't be a talking point if it wasn't for the people who do.

 

[Lupo]

Seeing a lot of speculation that it's a car that has taken a wrong turn into the area he shouldn't have been and people began attacking and throwing things at the car before someone opened the door to try and get in leading to a panic situation where the driver lost control (maybe drunk or drugged up) and hit people. Awful situation and sadly I think there will be fatalities

 

[White Wolf]

No time for the speculation but what an awful thing to see on what should have been a very happy day for them. Know a fair few people who went but are all fine, thankfully.

 

[Keef]

Far right now angry at the police for saying it’s a white man, and they’ve been told to say that by the government.
They’re just angry because they want to go out for a fight with the police and smash shit up like last year.
