Match Thread Coventry City - Burnley FC Match Thread - Saturday 5th Apr (17 Viewers)

[blunted]

Thought the atmosphere was pretty good tbh, especially with such a small/quiet away crowd. Early goal, competitive game and crap ref always helps.

Burnley chants were right out of the 1970s. Uninspiring team equals uninspiring fans.

That Hannibal for Burnley is a proper rat isn't he, everytime I've seen him play he's been a shithouse

Clearly a talented footballer, but appears to be a highly unpleasant person.

How he avoids a booking for clapping in the Lino’s face is beyond me

There's quite a lot that avoided any sort of action with that utterly incompetent referee

That was so blatant though wasn’t it
Kitching got booked for much less than that

It was and Milan getting booked for their c**t jumping into him and hitting the ground like he'd been shot

That's top of the list for things that enraged me for sure.

2) - giving a goal kick after the linesman gave a corner for what was a blatant fucking corner
3) - their keeper taking a couple of minutes to take each goal kick
4) - not booking the player that body checked Sakamoto miles away from the ball
5) - 5 minutes of injury time after the ball had been in play for about 12 mins all half
6) - the drinks break Burnley decided they would take
7) - Collins

Yep that was utter madness the relay confirms absolutely what I thought had happened
The guy moved to block mve run and then dived pretending mve had elbowed him just madness and such a cheat
He’s got to get things much better than that as a professional referee

7???? Lol

I think that was the point that the ref's performance went from abject to outright abdication of responsibility.

Still the end when red carding our head coach behind his back lol

I got most of my Collins anger out on Saturday.

 

[Johhny Blue]

If Collins stays in the box then that’s an option. I’ve said Collins is at fault for running out but the ball dropped by Kitching and he should have dealt with it. It’s my opinion.

I can’t put it any simpler. He was dealing with it until Collins crashed the party.
Watch some of the play around our own box on Wed and each time a defender has the ball just imagine him smashing it out of play.
A stadium full of fans would be groaning while you cheer.

I thought the Referee had to show the card to the persons face according to the rules

Weak referee, as was plainly obvious.

Not if your spineless

I was enraged that every time we broke away they fouled us. No bookings or warnings.

anyone see one of their twats do a full swan dive in their box late second half, holding his leg on ground, noticed ref had run off simply jumped back to his feet. This all needs stamping out as its way past out of control.

Just needs someone to go through the highlights and assign yellows after the game. Would stop pretty quickly. It’s often easier to spot after the fact as you say when they jump up and run off. Let’s be honest fit young lads aren’t going to have to stay on the floor unless it’s a serious/head injury.
