Wayne Thomas didn't look at me or speak when he gave me his autograph. He made eye contact with me for a good couple of seconds and smiled. I was 100% gay for the small duration. He was so dreamy. ♥

I have to say that I think that the ref had a decent game for someone who had to control a very violent Villa side. Wilson decision was a yellow but many refs would've sent him off. Delph's first challenge was another borderline one but I think the yellow was just about right, the second could also have been a yellow but Fag Bap was definitely looking for it so I thought he was right not to send him off. The Crouch "handball" was also borderline, yes it struck his arm. But what is he meant to do in that situation? He either moves his hand back and it might bounce and his arm could cushion the ball, or he could keep it at his side and it WILL hit his arm.

Shitting hell I've just seen the Delph challenge on GOS, it was a bloody horrible challenge. Didn't see it properly yesterday and MOTD didn't show it.
I think he was very lucky to just get booked, the dirty bastard.

He's always been a shit tackler. Worse than Adam by a long way, he put some fucking shockers in when he was at Leeds.

Also, Ashley Westwood yesterday mocking Pieters while he was on the floor after their goal was an unbelievable lack of class.

According to my mate (qualified ref) 'last man' isn't a rule, just a colloquialism/motd saying. It's all about goal scoring opportunities supposedly. P.S. Fuck off Villa and Lambert That's right, Dharms. In the refs' trade they call them DOGSO's - denial of obvious goal scoring opportunity, last man has nothing to do with it, although everyone of a certain age remembers Willie Young's 'professional' foul on a very young Paul Allen in the Arsenal West Ham Cup Final and associates these kind of red cards with being the last defender. There's so much inconsistency though. If you think about it almost every penalty for a foul in the area should be a red card since it's nearly always also preventing a shot on goal ie an obvious goalscoring chance. Personally, I don't think it should be red as the penno is usually punishment enough, I just mention it to show the problem with this area. The whole red card, yellow card thing should shift to sin-binning imo, so that dirty play penalises/benefits the teams playing on that day, not when suspensions kick in. Would solve a lot of problems.

Watched the Wilson booking and changed my mind, a yellow was the right decision, Weimann was never going to get the ball as it was going straight through to Begovic.

Did Wilson actually touch him though?
