Burnley (H) - Sat 21st Aug 2021 (12:30pm)

[Stickman]

I fucking hate Sean Dyche ….Hope they get relegated and then relegated again just to make sure 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Tsimikiss? Joe Cole just fuck off back to The Shire.

[Tony Moanero]

Great result. Matip was boss. Not many centre-backs will nullify Andy Payton like he did today. Up the Mighty Reds!

[halewood pete]

Great game by Elliott, thought he did really well.Burnley were time wasting from the first minute, shithouse team .3 good points today

[Carvalho Diablo]

Kloppo talking bout wrasslin', haha.

[KMD7]

That was really good from about 55 minutes onward. Looks like the penny finally dropped that Burnley are shit and we just steam rollered them. Ali supreme at the end.  

[Carvalho Diablo]

This bird on BT Sports could rub me like a genie's lamp.

[Daisy]

Listened to talk sport comma as could only get Iranian stream. 

 

Trevor sinclair is an absolute cunt. Begging the ref to be more leniant to Burnley, screaming at the Greek to get off mcneil at one point. Unbelievable 

[niallers]

What exactly happened to trent? I presume your man fell onto him after the challenge in the air.

Did his performance show up on flashscore, Tone?

Yes he can be annoying but nowhere near McMananan's shite. Did laugh at Matterface wanting Mo to score and cheering Ali's save because he has them in his Fantasy team.

[CapeRed]

Solid win that, score flattered the alehouse twats. Impressive from Elliott and Tsimikas, big Joel and Virg were quality.

[VladimirIlyich]

I evened turned on the commentary once or twice to get the atmosphere,but had to turn sound off again quickly because these twats who I think they call 'commentators' spoiled the whole occasion.

[Pidge]

Sinclair is way worse than McManaman, insufferable try-hard who's spent the last couple of years trying to arse-kiss is way onto the City gravy train. Drink driving twat.

That's what I mean about him missing the point.  Salah was no more clearly offside than Fernandes last week, so the point is about consistency and fairness.

Salah was clearly offside, the referee made the right call. If the referee let it go then it would’ve been unfair on Burnley.  It wasn’t even that marginal.

What's that got to do with the Fernandes decision last week?

Don’t think it’s relevant. You should judge every decision by its merit. Mo was clearly offside.

If we want less VAR intervention and we want to give attackers the benefit of the doubt and let offsides remain a subjective decision, you're never going to get consistency or fairness.

He was fractionally offside,but was offside. The fact they took two minutes and had to draw lines still makes the whole thing a farce though.

It's relevant to consistency, the point I am making.  Today was very marginal, look at the pictures.  They could have followed the same approach as they did with Fernandes last week, don't over-analyse the lines and give the advantage to the forward. They clearly did that last week, they did not today.

Consistency, the whole point I am making.

Yup. It was tight, but off. In the old, pre-VAR days, if that got flagged you saw the reply and said “yep” instantly, or it didn’t get flagged and you’d say “got away with that”.

[sir roger]

Seems there has been a 'forward getting the benefit ' decision for City , Stelling asking why this wasn't the rule for us earlier.

No the VAR would still be involved in order to gain a level of consistency (it will never be 100%) but it would analyse it in the background like they did with Fernandes and follow the approach of advantage to the attacker.
