Aye, well said Chaddy.

I had my neice's fella and their young son at Burnley's parade, along with many good mates. 

I had my daughter's long time fella at the Leeds parade.

Very, very sad.

Half of it was. The other half was about the ref being incompetent, which he was.

To call the ref "as incompetent as our owners" and that "he should never be allowed to ref again" are orders of magnitude greater than the error. 

We all know that Venkys (our owners) are much much worse than a bad decision during a Premier league game with implications for 4th or 5th place.

To say that an official should not referee a game again is yet another hyperbolic statement that I'd expect only a Villa fan to make. Referee's make mistakes weekly, why is the one he made deserving of him giving up his profession?

There is still nothing on Martinez's idiocy, or Villa's 12 points from 33 to end 2024. 

Let's blame the referee instead. It's easy to do.

If this happened in October it would have been nothing more than a tut and a shake of the head. The fact its happened on the last game of the season has raised the profile of it but ultimately its just the cherry on top of a season of shortcomings in the league.

I remember a few years ago that Peter Reid (when he was a manager) was interviewed after a match his team had lost by 3 goals. He started having a go at the referee for a mistake that had lead to the 3rd goal. He then stopped, laughed, and said something along the lines of 'maybe I'm having a go at the wrong person here as he only made one mistake - my defenders made loads and that's why we lost!'
