Villa have been getting away with this kind of nonsense all season. How anybody could debate they’re not the current media darlings is beyond me. They’re garbage.

I know people laugh if you say there is corruption in the game etc but Villa are getting crazy decisions go their way every single week and no one in the media is talking about it. Yet they are always talked about in the title/top 4 race and heavily praised. The media did this with Leicester too.

They really do give penatly kicks far too easily.

Ruining the outcomes of games
I continuously say this but they need to change what is and isnt a penalty.

Slight contact resulting in players flinging themselves down should not be a penalty.

A player can be inside the penalty area with almost zero chance of scoring in that position and be lightly touched resulting in a great chance to score.

That just is not in the spirit of the game

I’ve been saying that clear and obvious should be replaced with cause and effect, then you could have contact, but, it’s not enough for a player to collapse in a heap.

Villa have 4 pens this season and the only team yet to concede one. On the contrary, we have joint most against and joint 2nd fewest for

I'd genuinely try to change the rule so only DOGSO incidents are penalties. Handballs unless they're literally stopping a goal, minor infringements on players nowhere near the goal, should be indirect free kicks.

Dunno about corruption, the decisions are often too bizarre and random and so suggest incompetence more than anything else.

But it's certainly strange how large the proportion of refs from the north/midlands is. Basically all of them.
