Burnley (A) Post Match Thread

His name pronouncing was shocking, kept on saying Dias like it was spelt Diash

That is how it's pronounced. I don't get having a go at someone for pronouncing something correctly.

The most irritating commentator I’ve ever known. He talked way too much. Silence is as much a tool of a good commentator as as words. We don’t need him to say “Bernardo attacking down the right. Cuts it back to Stones” etc. That’s for the radio. And those pronunciations were stupid. Bernaaadew, Diash etc. He doesn’t have to be a Ron Atkinson but it just sounds forced like that. Just to add to it, his accent is totally unplaceable and that got on my tits too. There’s an element of Rhoticity to it which doesn’t fit.

he was but felt he was unbiased, and praised us in fair and equal measures

He will decompose at some point.

I have my own timeframe in mind.

Brought to mind Joe Mercer's brilliant punditry during the 1970 World Cup, referring to Eusebio, Cruyff and Pele as "Eusibo", "Johen Croft", and "Peel". I've always thought that Joe only did it for a laugh.

I recall Joe referring to the Argentinian Ratt-in during the 1966 World Cup.

What i have always said , they didnt work side by side but gundy further foward would work

Well, you called it right, but some posters were saying it was peps, "blindspot", there was a thread post named that.many others that they were both "muck".
In fact they are both "elite". which you have "always"said.

what a load of shit ??

Peter Walton explains why VAR didn't award Man City a penalty against Burnley

Gabriel Jesus went down under a challenge from James Tarkowski but VAR didn't intervene despite clear contact.

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Walton said: “It would’ve been checked by the VAR, Stuart Attwell, and he’s got a decision to make and he’s thought possibly the contact was made was incidental in tackling the ball, he might’ve felt it wasn’t a foul, or he felt it was a foul but not clear and obviously wrong, so therefore didn’t draw attention to Martin Atkinson, the referee. "It’s a subjective move, but clearly there was contact made.

? SO WHY HAS HE GOT A DECISTION TO MAKE. its clearly a foul in the box in resulting in a pen ?
could even be deem a sending off if utd was


so please mr walton can you tall me why diving without any contact is deem a pen and a red card for the defender

stockley park are you watching

So much for the final decision being with the on field ref, surely Atwell should have referred it to atkinson for him to make the final decision on the level of contact.

He should have been asked to review the tv himself to check

the thing is (VAR) runs the game and the match officials are given orders its that simple
even corners are now changed in a flash by the referee ? so who's saying different when he gives a dead ball but changes his mind a gives a corner. happened in the last city game at burnley

For me the sooner var follows the path of rugby the better it’ll be and the happier the fans

yep the game is dead and VAR is to blame ?
they have so much control and we was fooled into clear and obvious mistakes only

in the past week VAR has made clear and obvious mistakes not the football players ? when the system fails and you have to right your wrongs in public what is the point ? VAR will make a bigger mess of football that just having match officials ?

clear and obvious mistakes by VAR so what's next. a review of the VAR mistakes and changing results
