Don`t worry the EFL will find some rule to punish him just like they did with the spying fiasco.

there is a rule and a precedent. Gayle got 2 games a while back

Yes I know that Tad.
But if he was booked for feigning the attack he should by rights get away with further punishment.
What I`m saying is that even if that were the case I`m sure the EFL would still find something else to nail him.
End of the day he should not have done it.
But the reaction from some of the Villa players was well over the top.

I think the yellow was for something else but yes I agree

El ghazi has won appeal against red card bamford charged with deception of match official

And no action taken against the Villa player who punched him in the stomach I see.

only to be expected given the corrupt fa

If hes got off with what he did so should bamford even though I don't like what bamford did too much of this in football it spoils the game

Some shambolic defence today. I can just see it now, after hammering Derby in the league, they're going to sneak through against us in the playoffs and Fat Frank and the Derby players will all face their fans at the end of the game and do the binoculars celebration ala Bradford and the crocodile clap at Headingley in the early 2000s.

different competition now. all to play for.

Not really, think we look out of it now. I did say the other month, although Bielsa was the reason we got where we were, he was also the guy going to cost us with his stubbornness. He has done this throughout his career, and why he has always been the bridesmaid and not the bride. Such a shame, with the opportunity we had.

I would not say we were out of it at all. Derby are a decent side but we have schooled them twice this season and there is also the added spice of the spygate to throw in again, for me it is a 50/50 game and all to play for. I would certainly expect Villa to make the final out of the other semi but nothing to be afraid of there. I don't fancy us to do it by the way but that said it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we turn it on in the play offs and pull it off its been that kind of a season
