If the intents there & it's malicious maybe. That was just a calamity cock up.

A player doesn’t have to intentionally endanger the safety of an opponent for it to be a red card offence.

Strangely, I think we will be safe before the Forest match. Newcastle and Spurs look vulnerable to attacking football, and I believe all the bad luck and VAR decisions we have had this season will even out over the next two matches. We will get 6 points and the others 0. I agree with the first word...

Oliver in getting big decision wrong shocker.

No idea how he missed that.

Pen to spurs. Gonna be an interesting end to this game.

Brighton, the beacon of English football, are currently down in 12th with Bournemouth in 10th.

Everton would be level with Brighton without their points deduction.

Bournemouth’s manager is doing a good job.

Rileybobs

1-3, gifted by Raya. Could get interesting.

A keeper punching a player when (however incompetently) trying to punch the ball is a bit different to a punch anywhere else on the pitch. There’s definitely an argument that a keeper going to punch the ball and landing one flat in a player’s face is endangering the safety of an opponent though, wh...

Arsenal 20 points clear of Spurs, 1st winning 3-0 away at the 5th placed team Best league ? Looks more like Rangers and Celtic in the Scottish Prem Not sure about that. At a quick glance the gap between 1st and 5th in all other major European leagues is larger than 20 points and 35 points in the Sc...

Obviously someone has bought him a ticket using somebody else's Clarets number.

Probably the case, but no idea why this would make him a Man Utd fan. Anyway, not really relevant to the discussion.

He's obviously a Utd fan, he's not even smiling when we have just scored.

How would it be easier for a young Utd fan to get a ticket in the away end than a young Burnley fan?

How's that young lad in front of him got a ticket in such a small allocation?
Obviously a UTD fan, not celebrating, looks well peed off.

Why would a young Burnley fan not be able to get a ticket?

Rileybobs

This naughty boy won’t be attending a Burnley game again. Hope it was worth it.

Rileybobs

I'd have liked to have seen Casermiro and Garnacho both booked for BLATANT dives, but aside from that - thought the ref had a good game. This really needs to be clamped down on - VAR actively encourages diving. Since the introduction of VAR, dives are no longer punished with a yellow card. This giv...

I had written us off months ago as we looked hopeless and weren’t learning from mistakes. The team is clicking and whilst the mistakes are still there at both ends of the pitch, the overall performances are at the level we need to compete at this level. Before today I thought 7 more points would be ...

Rileybobs

I don’t get why he would drop Taylor? I would expect him to deal with Antony fairly comfortably. I suppose you could say that this is an attacking approach though as Vitinho will get forward so perhaps this is a ploy to take advantage of some of Man Utd’s more passive players (Rashford’s absence may...

QPR have been pretty impressive

Games won, so Sutton would be relegated.

On paper I think Luton have the easiest fixtures by far. Wolves and West Ham away along with Everton and Fulham at home who will probably all be safe and have nothing to play for. It doesn't necessarily mean that Luton will stay up but I would rather have their fixtures than ours or Forest's As wou...

Luton win 2 or 3 games and it wont matter what we do. Everyone is mentioning Forest when no-one his discussed Luton, it's 2 from 3, Burnley, Luton and Forest Only because we have absolutely no control over Luton, whereas we face Forest on the last day of the season so only have to gain a point more...

draws aren't good enough at the minute, a win would be huge for confidence going into the last 3, I would probably start believing it was possible which wont be good for my health. I expect it will be the same side and I'm going for a 2v1 with Foster scoring both Not sure about that. I would expect...

SMManager.jpg How's about this for an unpaid job! My team were the only team to take a point off them this season in the Birmingham County League's over 63s (14 games) as they romped to the title.

I’ve no idea why this goal was disallowed- Atwell involved again for this.

This is suspicious. Looks like Atwell is trying a bit too hard to prove that he’s not corrupt, just really bad at his job.

I wonder what all that means? Sounds like Dyche-speak.

Fine margins.

Bet Ian Woan is happy that he doesn’t have to help Dyche with his double Windsor before every game.

Wonder why Sean has dispensed with the suit? Can’t say that he looks as good in a tracksuit.

It was a big decision, he thought long and hard and consulted with his peers…

Nunez couldn’t find the back of the net if he was inside a net with a big sign saying ‘back of the net’ and a back of the net GPS tracker.

Rileybobs

Forest did have a point in their statement about refs reffing teams who are contextual rivals with those they support. For example, if I was to be a biased ref, I’d be more likely to show that bias for or against a team that directly impacted the success of Burnley than Blackburn Rovers.

JBL averages about a goal every other game based on minutes played. He’s made a good contribution.

The Offer is a cracking recent drama series based on the making of the film. Would highly recommend if you enjoy the film (and who couldn’t).

It’s tragic we don’t celebrate the day with a bit of ligh hearted national pride , flags , events , and lots of fun from young kids onwards and make it a public holiday .

How far back in Ref blunders do we go? ROI v France for a place in the WC? 1966 ball over the line or Forest v Burnley this season? The problem in my eyes is when do we reset and how to we simplify the rules to make decisions easier e.g make offside when there is a clear gap between the two players...

It's true that Sheff Utd could have been 2 or 3-0 up at half time, but that would have meant them scoring all of their chances and us missing all of ours. That's not how football works. The McBurnie chance that Muric saved with his feet really should have been scored, but I don't think any of their ...

I don’t see the clamour for ex-pro’s, they often don’t know the laws. I don’t know the answer to the poor quality of referees in this country, but as far as VAR is concerned, it should be manned by specialist video referee’s, not the on-field ref’s mate who’s being given a rest-day. Being a VAR requ...

Exactly my thoughts. Unless Cov opted to shoot second which would be very strange.

Do they not do two coin tosses for penalty shoot outs? One to determine the end of the pitch and another to determine who takes first?

Rileybobs

Oh well. Wouldn’t have been nice for our big rivals Coventry to reach the final anyway.

Rileybobs

Let’s face it, nobody would be complaining about VAR here if it had disallowed a Man Utd goal.

Rileybobs

VAR is rubbish, but so is losing a cup semi final to an offside goal.

United nailed on to win on pens.

Bugger.

If United turn up like this against us and we play like we have been doing we will body them - especially in midfield.

We’ll get chances. Absolutely vital we don’t gift them a goal. They’re wide open to the counter attack if we’re clever.

Rileybobs

Hilarious. United are an absolute shambles of a team. We should be going to OT to turn them over next weekend.

Rileybobs

This would be comical.
