Villa 6 Blackburn 4

[ozzie owl]

What a cracker of a semi final , congratutions to Villa, at least they do try and have majority Englaish players.

Fantastic game to watch, some great goals and a great fightback by Villa.

Watched it this morning and hugely entertaining. Blackburn's defence sort of fell apart after Samba was sent off.

Adelaide United match ?

i think the tackle by samba was a brilliant tackle. not so sure of the decision

[ManicD]

are you serious? samba didn't even touch the ball. clear red and penalty.

We (Blackburn) were stitched by the ref, but not for the Samba red (which was a clear dismissal) but rather for Villa's first goal which clearly should have been disallowed.

Agbonlahor pushes Nelson in the back and somehow the ref misses it and the ball falls to Warnock.

Well done to Warnock for not over celebrating the goal against the team he made his name at.

Game would have been different if that goal was rightly disallowed as Villa had no idea how to handle Rovers.

Also, the goal by Milner (not the penalty) clearly hits Agbonlahor in the hands before going into the net.

Anyway, if we had taken our chances in the first leg, t would have been a different story.

The slow motion replay shows it hitting his hip... although i agree on first glance i thought it was handball

lol at the comment about taking chances in the first leg... applies both ways.
