Counting fouls in this manner is always gonna be problematic since the refs have hardly been calling any in our favor lately.
E.g. the elbow on Gil and the tackle on Kulu were both not given as fouls.
 
This is devastating. The fury I feel when I think about Cash and what he did is... unhealthy. The fact that it's the second time now (Doherty)... I can't fucking take this shit. Benta was such a joy to watch. I don't think I can watch another Villa game. My blood pressure... And that fucking ref.
I've noticed that the deflection from opposition fans is "you can't talk, you guys have Romero".

I mean, first of all I struggle to remember the last time Romero actually injured someone rather than simply leaving them a bit sore. Second of all, we as a fanbase are annoyed at any unnecessary bite that gets him suspended, such as against Chelsea, and are quick to call it stupid.

Why Aston Villa's fanbase, after getting a fortunate win, decide to twist the knife in by glorifying Matty Cash is very odd to me.

Cause they’re f’in cvnts. Wishing serious injury on Matty Cash and those Villa fans that are cvnts - injuries equivalent to the ones suffered by Benta and Doherty.

exactly- it’s a count of their subjective interpretation and action- not something scientifically observable like how far someone ran or what temperature it was.

it’s impossible to analyze unless you have a count of what should have been called to compare against, and that unfortunately would be criticized to no end by whoever would hear that argument.

someone in the club needs to say something though- while we still have a enough players to put together a healthy starting 11.

prem refs are not protecting our players- probably due to subconscious bias. hopefully subconscious bias I say as the alternative is far worse to think about…

Eh if one of ours went in for a hard tackle, got away with it and we won a massive away game in large part because of that tackle, then our fans would be loving him as well.

Fans are tribal. Spurs fans aren’t any different.

I wouldn't be heartbroken to see this re-enacted.

Premier League culture. Comes from the "Banter" that they think is humour now.

They're crowing about the injury itself.

Were we lauding Son or Aurier for Sanchez's injury up at Everton?

No.

Fan etiquette generally dictates that you don't do that.

Not as many would be celebrating the injury. Especiialy against Villa. they are irrelevant to spurs fans. I was happy to see them good again tbh but they have a weird obsession with Spurs.

I disagree. Outside of Chelsea or Woolwich I don't think we'd be defending/glorifying one of ours doing an opposition's ankle ligaments.

Especially on a player that is making his first club start post ACL injury.

And I say this as someone who didn't think it was a red card.

Twitter is pure cancer in that regard. Plenty of weird 'rival' fans primed to reply instantly to the SpursOfficial account (or even fan pages). Implies they follow them and potentially have them set to notifications.

Bizarre. I want nothing to do with 'Woolwich Twitter', regardless of whether they're suffering or not. Frankly, I prefer to forget they exist whenever possible.

Club won't say or do shit.

They don't care about Spurs fans. The bad shit is even more addictive than winning. We don't do winning so Spurs fans getting fucked over by officials keeps the turnstiles turning.

I like twitter, some very funny cunts and good independent news on on there. I'm very fucking liberal with the block feature though.

We would take the win but unless it was one of our rivals we'd not gloat about it. Villa fans have gloated both times Cash did this.

It's the whole bitter old money hatred of new money thing.
