Burnley - Post Match Thread

Those saying shite performance ect. Give your head a wobble. Burnley made it hard for us adding to that a piss poor ref. I cant remember a decent 1230 kick off game. In the past 7 days we have had two away wins and qualification for the next stages of the CL. Great week

Liverpool lost there, Everton lost there, Arsenal robbed 3 points,... we won. Difficult to play there. Good win.

Trevor Francis: “It was offside, but Burnley should have had a penalty”

Ian Wright” I didn’t notice the offside at the time, but it was definitely a penalty”

Howard Webb: “ Boyd is coming back from an offside position, but the linesman is struggling with the sun. However, it’s definitely a penalty”


Have I missed a rule change?

Yer've missed several - Howie Redshirt in that shed is infallible, we don't call offsides if they get City out of a tight squeeze, and the one about us being in possession but fouling the opposition at the same time!

To be honest I don't give a frenchmans fuck what anybody says if we get three points, you know why? Comments don't matter, points do :-)

This sounds interesting! Does Baccers do it differently to, say, the Spaniards we have?

Yer right about the points. At the end of the day it's all that shows in the table, but it is annoying in the extreme to attempt to watch a football match with such loaded commentaries, biased summaries and laughable HT and FT analysis, or what passes through BT and the BBC as analysis. I think the emphasis is more on 'anal' than 'ysis! I've never been more grateful to a remote with a mute button.
 
Fck them all for once we got the rub of the green
3pts

1st infraction offside therefore no penalty

hard fought but I say again

3pts

Francis is a cnut

I can even go along with the decision, but why not on the bench ? Had we suffered an injury in the back 3/4/5 it would surely be better to have him available.

Maybe he takes his wife shopping on Saturday afternoons and isn't available ?

I think he goes hiking. Got to get some use out of that cagoule.
 
Good 3 points and hopefully we push on now CL is sorted till Feb (Celtic non event)

Pissed myself laughing at that shower on BT when they started the definitely a penalty even though he was offside.

Couldn't believe adults let alone ex players, refs could make such a comment
 
Like how they showed the penalty that Burnley should have had about 10 times but only once that it was offside
 
Today was one occasion where the hideous orange kit should have been used. The black red was a clash. This coupled with the foggy camera lens meant I couldn't see properly. Was it just me? I'm sure those at the match wouldn't have seen a colour clash.

Hmmmm, yes, very disappointing. It had seemed like BT were making a real effort to be "nice" to us after the shit storm over their disgusting coverage last season.

But they've reverted to type rather quickly haven't they. Francis, THE ****, hates us and takes every opportunity to demonstrate it. Then we had Howard Webb saying that Otamendi's shove should have been a penalty even though the Burnley player was offside. We had endless replays of that, but did we have ANY review of the Nolito penalty at the other end? No, none.

Or the Vokes hand ball. Although that didn't matter as we scored just after.

@levets I would have been very annoyed as a player, to be honest. I've played in matches with similar kits like that and it completely throws off your passing as peripheral vision (which is nearly all of your field of vision, as it turns out) is shot with such similar tops. It may seem minor but even a slightly later recognition that a teammate is in a certain position or making a run makes a big difference in execution, especially at higher levels.

No idea why we played in that travesty of a kit.
