The financial dopeheads are laughing.

This looks more and more ill advised.

We’re going to be talking about 2 penalty claims again. The same old noise about not being so sloppy against b’mouth, and not having to rely on the ref to win us games but that makes a mockery of the rules. A penalty is a penalty no matter the time or state of the game or the quality of either teams play

Maybe they thought it would be a stroll.

Partey 2-1

Lots of half chances and dangerous possession, but to many hopeful high crosses

Finally !!

It's Partey time ...

Thank goodness!

Their gk has cramp apparently.

It is the absolute scourge of the game

Yellow card for the gk. I’m amazed

Need a Villa Park effort now.

Until refs start adding 15 mins as injury time thus nonsense will continue.

Still a big hole we're in!

When they sored two of their players had an arm rapped around our players arm and pulling ours out of position. Our players trying to shake them off make it look like they are doing the holding. Very devious.

Bournemouth have been ridiculous- never seen them defend like this and create such chances on the break, the quality and efficiency is unreal.

Feel like City would come back and win this

Need an independent time keeper, Rugby show how it should be done, it’s a very easy fix.

So that’s 2 injuries and a goal so far. And a booking for time wasting and 2 sets of subs. That’s at least 4 minutes to be added so far

The advtantage rugby has is the game doesn’t stop for injuries. So there is no faking to stop momentum

2-2!!!

What an impact for Nelson!

Nelson makes an immediate impact

Oh maaaaaan!!

Ben White !!

2 all !!

Inspired sub of Nelson!!!

Ben White!!!

White the boss

About bloody time he did something ...

Hit the post!

Shame we can't play in the first half like we do in the second for a lot of games ...

Nothing kills momentum like these shots that go miles over the bar. Got to get the gk working far more. We’re releasing the pressure more than Bournemouth are

How many handballs are you allowed?

Ridiculous. That last one was a sure handball. The others were borderline.

The most blatant one yet. How is that not a pen?????

Aren't they supposed to nominate a keeper and the other players aren't allowed to handle?

The comms are justifying all of them. Hilarious.

So.e of the passing has been very wayward.

5 subs = 2.5 minutes
3 goals = 3 minutes
Yellow card for time wasting - add another minute
Multiple other time wasting
Couple of injuries

If this was at the World Cup we’d be having 10 minutes added time

I don’t expect any more than 5

How many penalty shouts has var denied us today? 4 or 5 is it?

We’ve already had two apologies from the PGMOL which cost us points

Var is costing us a fair shot at the title here

Torture

6 minutes added time. Utter joke

They’re just legitimising cheating, it is the easiest tactic to get away with week in week out

Officials seemingly trying to level the playing field in such a one sided contest is so frustrating

When will a ref ever be brave enough to send off a gk for two yellows for time wasting. The first yellow is meaningless because they’re just allowed to keep doing it
