Burnley are clowns

[jordan210]

Took a dive and ref not even interested

 

[Nick]

That’s a yellow by JDS

It was a foul. The ball had already gone out.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Problem is there wasn’t a defender anywhere near the attacker

which attacker? there were at least three around the guy playing the pass…..

agree though, a calamity of errors

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Did he even book him? He had no intention but to do that to tats

No. He wasn't interested in giving them any card.

Someone is going to get sent off in this game, and it will be one of our players the way the referee is going. We need to play this smarter.

Yep so the ball had gone and he still took him out. Clear yellow

 

[mmttww]

Biggest set of diving Tw*ts I can remember.

 

[glasgowfan]

At this point I’m convinced the EFL are actively plotting against us. Maybe they know if we get promoted we have a real chance of breaking the traditional big 6 clubs and they are paying the EFL to prevent that. Corrupt to the core

What a load of baloney

 

[Nick]

The ref has zero control over this.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

It wasn't Collins fault mate

…if you mean it wasn’t JUST Collins’ fault then yes, I agree

 

[Ccfcisparks]

What a load of baloney

It’s true 100%. It’s 100% something Radcliffe and Daniel Levy would do

 

[OldBedrocker]

Can see him giving them the softest pen ever

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

You can call out 3 more before going to Collins.......then I'd agree with you
Grimes
Kitching
Allen
In that fuckin order......

agree - a few players at fault / could’ve prevented it

 

[Evo1883]

Solid half , proper battle , the goal for them we gave them a nice helping hand but we are competing and can probably get something if we get the 2nd half right

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

No. He wasn't interested in giving them any card.

I worry Kitching will get a silly second yellow

 

[Tommo1993]

Every time you think officiating couldn’t get worse, another shit show turns up. The biggest apologists couldn’t defend this mess.

 

[covcity4life]

Solid first half

Whilst we got massive stroke of luck with offside goal we did make the rudoni and emc chances legitimately and wright has gone close since too Vs the best defence in EFL history perhaps.

Burnley are clearly very dangerous team but they don't seem as good as sheff utd and Leeds to me yet so let's hope we can grab a winner and put these guys in the playoffs

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Great start
Poor goal given away by Grimes
Good chances for both sides
Ref terrible

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Dasilva doing brillaintly
Mve excellent
Allen not his barnstorming best and Rudoni tired
emc not really in the game but getting back well

The ref can suck my balls awful awful

 

[Paul Anthony]

Their goal aside, I thought that was a decent half from us. Just a shame that it was such a soft goal to concede.

at least he’s equally as shite for / against both teams

 

[DT-R]

Well, it's clear at half time the ref is doing his very best to give them anything they want to make up for allowing a goal that was clearly offside. He's been awful. How the foul off the ball on Sakamoto didn't result in a yellow card is criminal. Ref doing his level best to ruin a good, competitive game of football. But then Burnley are enjoying a good roll around

Red card second half mark my words

 

[Tommo1993]

He’s given us a few softies, granted. But it hasn’t been balanced in the slightest.

 

[higgs]

Sakamoto been quiet let's hope he steps up with the winner

The ref seems to want to help Burnley in the last half an hour, but we have had a good half.

People need to stop panicking and wanting to tear up what has been working for us. We don't need to change anything as it is, we just need to come out second half a little bit smarter. A few better touches in important areas, a few more confident passes and not giving the ball away, and no stupid fouls. As long as we don't play into Burnley's dodgy tactics I feel like we will be ok.

They haven't conceded more than one goal all season, but we have looked very close to breaking that record. Let's come out second half with some belief and go and rattle them. We can get something out of this game.

 

[steve101]

Sakamoto just can't get into this. Normally his touch is impeccable but not so far today.
Overall our defence has played well considering they move the ball quickly and incisively. Their goal though had numerous errors from midfield and defence.

 

[TomRad85]

Doesn't seem like they are some sort of immovable object.

 

[Paxman II]

Jamie Allen nowhere near what he was against Sunderland. He is back to being iffective tody. Bring on Sheaf as we are losing the midfield battle. Torp late on could be a match winner.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Good half. Impressive how much we've unsettled the best defence in the league.
Rudoni has become an absolute key player for us in that space behind Wright.

 

[Nick]

Yep so the ball had gone and he still took him out. Clear yellow

Yet they did it to rudoni and not even a foul...

MVE for the goal was immense. I don't think anyone single Burnley player expected him to catch up to his own ball, not once, but twice. Saka and EMC aren't really in the game atm. Haven't done anything of note badly, just haven't added anything positively. Not sure how the foul on Saka off the ball hasn't seen a yellow card? Unbelievable

[Shannerz]

That was ok. They're a good side; got lucky with the goal, but really should have had another.

Ref's dreadful, and he's lucky that the game's being played in a decent spirit. A more fractious pair of teams and he'd have lost it completely.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Also frustrating we don’t turn in displays like this away from home
