You want honest football? Why did Carr stand kicking the penalty spot before the kick was taken? Cheats.

You moan about dubious penalty decisions….Melchiot on Fahey this season at St Andrews….remeber it? Cheats.

Bitter, that’s all you are with a whole lot of jealousy added to it.

It’s a pretty cheap shot by Johnson to claim the referee should have come out and explained his decision when he knows full well that the referee can’t as per the Referee Managers directive two seasons ago.

As for cheating, let’s talk about cheating shall we! Let’s talk about the Brummie basher thugs from the 70’s, Gallagher and Burns! Or how about Shirley Savage throwing herself to the floor when shouted at by big Dion? How many penalties did Fancy Francis win during his time at the dump? Carr yesterday cleaning his studs on the penalty spot! The list goes on.

It’s also amusing that these comments come from a Championship-class defender who has managed to con his way into the Premiership. Both he and his manager need to brush up on the rule change that came into force during last summer where tackles deemed either dangerous or mistimed could be penalised even when taking some of the ball such as yesterday. There were at least half-a-dozen other tackles yesterday where fouls were given despite the Blues player getting some of the ball. It’s called ‘lunging in’!

Any decent Premiership centre half would have known this and would have simply shepherded the ball out for a goal kick! End of! UTV

Villa didnt cheat and nor did the ref but as a team birmingham have every right to feel angry and frustrated they themselves were cheated like i said not by the ref or villa but surely you have to see where there coming from. You cant say about carr and johnsons attitude when the pen was initially given when you know you have got the ball an the ref says other wise in such a crucial game like a derby you are going to react like they did. Carr wasnt exactly justified in what he did but if you know something is definately not right like the decision then i spose you want some sort of justice. But obviously theres nothink you can do about it. And roger johnson isnt a championship defender conning his way to the prem his performances this season have shown that. And come on sheppard the ball against agbonlahor? He was near enough past him
there was no way he could of sheppaded it out?

its not the ref who is at a disgrace.. its the conduct of birmingham city bringing the game into disreput yet again,(remember blues v liverpool under francis) for johnson to say the ref was a disgrace is outrageous, even blues surporters thought it was a penalty as it happened,, just because the replay shows a slight touch of the ball before abonlahor was hacked down , the rules are clear ,, sliding tackles / dangerous play is a penalty, and johnson was beaten to the ball being half a stride behind. i understand the fustration from johnson and mclish but villa have had many far worse clear cut decisions agaist them in recent weeks important cup finals/semi finals , but its a discrace the way johnson has riddiculed the ref . and johnson surgests through the whole game too?? Well the ref did make one mistake and that was when he should of booked joe heart for intimadating milner before the penalty kick, heart clearly comes off his line and having words with milner,, another absolute disgrace! i thought the ref was very fair best ive seen for a while if birmingham stop fouling and play a game of football then the they woulden’t have dicisions agaist them.. the ref’s decision is final and you gorra get on with it. as for carly with his vile hand gestures to the villa fans i hope he gets what is comming to him too,and the club should be fined .. its a absoulute disgrace to football . people bring their family’s down to football and dont want to see professional players with such conduct.. hope something is done about this.
