3 DAYS AGO - Midfielder turned lawyer claims coach Kevin MacDonald left a ‘dark shadow’ over players at Villa and says it drove him to suicidal thoughts“It was a culture of verbal and physical bullying, but there were no checks and balances; he operated with “impunity … It was like a dark shadow came over.”Gareth Farrelly, now 43 and a qualified lawyer, with a Premier League and international career behind him, is recalling the bullying he says he endured as a young player at Aston Villa in the 1990s from the coach Kevin MacDonald. It was a “relentlessly negative” regime under him. Related: Aston Villa remove Kevin MacDonald from coaching after new bullying claims I don’t accept it was the culture of the time. I believe he destroyed far more kids than he ever developedIt took me to a place at 20 that nobody should have to go to. And I wouldn’t wish it on anybody Continue reading... Collapse

Jay Rodriguez gives West Brom late helping hand in draw with Aston Villa

07/12/2018 - Jay Rodriguez scored a controversial injury-time equaliser with his hand in as West Brom denied Aston Villa victory at the last in a crackling West Midlands derby on a wet night at The Hawthorns. After a hesitant opening few minutes Villa drew first blood. El Ghazi was given too much room to shoot from the edge of the box and the ball took two deflections, the first off Jake Livermore and the second off Ahmed Hegazi’s head, on its way into the net. El Ghazi celebrated, but it was eventually ruled a Hegazi own-goal.Dwight Gayle had been recalled up front by West Brom and it was he who scored their equaliser after a flash counterattack. A long clearance left Harvey Barnes and Alan Hutton chasing the ball on the left wing. Barnes won the tussle and floated a delightful chip in to Gayle who side-footed home on the volley from six yards out. Both sides continued to press but the best chances were Villa’s, with John McGinn striking the post with a beautiful long-range shot in the 39th Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Rather quiet week following the Robbery at the Hawthorns as Dean Smith and the boys prepared to play without Jack Grealish for the first time. After he left the Baggies clash, I thought Villa lost their way a little in closing out that game. But that might have had as much to do with Kodjia's poor showing. This time it will be a full 90 without the young man who, to my mind, is the glue in the side. So John McGinn will get a chance to shine even more brightly than he usually does. Collapse
