What a game of rugby! One of the most enjoyable and compelling I think I've ever seen.

Who let the Apres Match three tenors into the Aviva?

Emmanuel Petit is looking well.

Only in rugby would the ref get credit for not calling the most straightforward knock-on and offside in rugby history and letting 6 players sprint 100 yards for no reason at all.

It's actually hilarious.

The real scandal here is that the decision was upheld on appeal to back the ref. Agenda driven disgrace.
Not to mention, there's a lot of white English people here deciding the black foreign player had malicious intent.

Yeah well that's fine. It's not your fight but there's a bigger issue here, especially about upholding such a big ban. Like that's judge jury and executioner on a violent conduct charge and they KNOW it wasn't. Definition of corruption

Nonsense. When you're the victim of a conspiracy, you call it out. Tell me a "top 6" club would've had that decision upheld. Protecting the refs is the only objective here. The opposition manager said it wasn't a red card.

It's so corrupt. Nobody believes this is on the level. They've already lost one ref this year, can't afford their main guy to be wrong. So VAR and appeals process may as well not exist. #avfc #epl

So Jhon Duran will miss three games, as well as the one he already missed, because VAR and the Premier League refuse to undermine a ref who's already been suspended for literally ruining a game this season.

How can you ban someone for violent conduct when everyone in the game says it wasn't?

And this was before he asked the crowd if he should send a player off.

Oh great an Anthony Taylor match. Loads of camera time on the back of braindead decisions

A genuine 10/10 performance from Tielemans here.

Realistically should be 3 up. Brilliant performance so far, but would be slightly concerned about not putting them away. #avfc

What a ball by Tielemans.

Pure unadulterated filth.

Have YOU been the victim of a bad run of form? Are you a striker who's gone six games without a goal?

Suddenly the Man City team makes sense, looks solid and dangerous. Never underestimate the power of a trip to Villa Park to a end a personal or collective crisis on the opposition team #AVFC

To be unbeaten in 5 European group stage games is beyond belief @shamrockrovers.ie
Improving every game too!

Ha mine are too young for that. They're still at the "I'm getting tha'" for every Smyths ad they see on YouTube phase. I'd be in the poor house!

Australia's Harry Potter was born in 1997, the the first book was released. You have to think that's just bad luck.

Rugby reviews are beyond ridiculous. No sport needs a TMO to stop the game for something like that Bealham tackle, or even the Valetini elbow nudge on Hansen.

Officiating it into the world's most boring sport.
