Burnley - Post match thread

[Bluewonder]

While the referees are not accountable they will continue to get away with guessing some of the 50/50 decisions. Thought he was very poor and seemed to give us nothing.

Video referees must come into play eventually. Doesn't slow up other sports and takes away the guesswork.

I'm convinced football is fixed. For what other reason would there still, in 2017, be no video technology? Every other sport has been dramatically improved by its introduction.

Hate to use him as an example but ferguson used this sort of tactic for years with good effect and it worked for mourinho in his early years at chelsea. Maybe we should create a siege mentality and stop playing the medias silly games.

Very much so. Ferguson stopped talking to the BBC for years. Respect is a mutual thing and these fuckers are worthy of none from us at the moment.

Where you from kidda ?

Born and lived in Cheetham Hill till I was 7, then dad moved to Bradford due to his work. Here everyone supports the rags or Liverpool but my old man made sure I didn't fall victim to either of those two cults!

I understand.....
YaYa hasn't always been on my favorites list either
I just thought he played well
Qualify that however you like

He did mate, played very well especially when losing his mid partner

Mike Dean playing a blinded against west ham so far. Makes you wonder why so many important decisions go their way. Money talks?

You're forgiven bud.

How was your new year?

Quiet. But a definite improvement on NYE!

Video technology would only be as good as those using it. It's the game overall that's the problem.
Having someone else look at decisions wouldn't cure much. IMO.

Great battling win. Real team performance. Kolarov and Otamendi brilliant at back. Burnley no 25 got Fernandinho sent off and Bravo was fouled for their goal, but still we won

 

[Chi-town blues]

I'll be amazed if Pep sees past his current contract, I think he's seen enough already to know he's fighting a losing battle

Battle against the cartels?

 

[SWP's back]

Pep "I will be at Manchester for the next three seasons, maybe more, but I am arriving at the end of my coaching career, of this I am sure."

Pep: "I will not be on the bench until I am 60 or 65 years old. I feel that the the process of my goodbye has already started."

I certainly understand why he'd say that.

He enjoys the opposite at City than he did at Barca where officialdom is concerned.
