Stones catches Cornet after winning ball

Cornet dived

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:39 pm

Cornet injured.

He's up.

Pathetic play acting from Cornet. I thought our players weren't supposed to do that?

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:41 pm

Come on Burnley

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:43 pm

Phew.
We folded a bit down the middle then.

Red Card

Liking overall what I'm seeing about Colin's.
Got a bit of attitude for the cause.

Laporte booked, sounds like he's lucky.

Red Card

VAR reviewing. Laporte caught Brownhill.

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:49 pm

Should be a red that. Out of control lunge studs up.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:49 pm

Reckon it could have been a red.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:49 pm

Penalty?

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:49 pm

That's a fu king disgraceful challenge

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:50 pm

I’m fine with the yellow. I wanted us to be allowed to play the advantage, though.

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:50 pm

Keeper catches Wood. Is it a penalty?

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:50 pm

And that was a pen.
Took him out!

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:51 pm

We've done pretty well tbf. We've had two very presentable chances which unfortunately we've not taken advantage of. However our poor passing in midfield constantly is letting us down

Where is VAR?

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:52 pm

You know I always pooh poohex this conspiracy bullshit but after the last few games you have bloody wonder don't you?

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:52 pm

Atkinson has stitched us up like a kipper too towards the end of the half imo

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:53 pm

Would have been a soft penalty, but you see other teams get those decisions every week.
It looks like one of our players needs to be put in hospital before we have a sniff of a penalty

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:53 pm

No doubt bring Grealish on to finish us off. Should be level at least

Football Focus lunchtime today discussed Norwich keepers "challenge" on Vydra. Everyone said it should have been a penalty.

Maybe next Saturday, pundits will debate today's game and the penalty's not awarded?

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:53 pm

Decent half that, City could score any minute but after 45 mins we are well in the game

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:54 pm

Not even reviewed by VAR?
Was their player even booked for his challenge on McNeil?

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:54 pm

Laporte off the ground both feet not in control, seen given as a red many times. To be fair i think Laporte tried to pull out..

We've done well. They look shaky, not like usual.
We didn't collapse yet, but let's see in the second half.

The Norwich one should have been a penalty, todays wasn't thats the difference.

It was reviewed by VAR. Are you listening to Phil Bird again?

Down_Rover · Post by **Down_Rover** » Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:56 pm

It was not a penalty, more a case of Wood running into the back of the keeper

But Laporte should have been sent off. Led with both feet in the air.

Seeing it again, think he's very lucky with yellow.

Decent half and caused them a few problems, which we rarely do.
