Match Thread; Spurs v Clarets

[Firthy]

What a crap way to lose.

[burnleymik]

That was a very very valiant effort from the lads today. Went down with passion and battling till the end. Ref absolutely ruined it.

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Robbed

[Blakesboots]

Not a nice result, that will stick in the throat. Spurs we’re professional and saw the game out well.

We were amazing second half. Well done all!

[Cirrus_Minor]

Well played Burnley. Play like that in the last 2 games and we have every chance.

[Cubanforever]

We can be proud of those lads today...the injustice will drive us on against Villa hopefully

[Neil]

What a brave performance.

[Steddyman]

That was an excellent performance. That kind of quality in the last 2 games and we stand a chance.

[PremierLeagueClass]

No justice. Incredibly frustrating for many reasons.

[Bosscat]

Come on the Seagulls now ...

[wilks_bfc]

Over to you now Brighton

[AwayClaret]

Good effort boys. Fighting against so many things here.

[IanMcL]

Cheating, corrupt Prem League and accomplishes 1 via s s c u m pen Mighty Clarets representing all that is good in honest football 0

Magnificent Clarets succumb to scurrilous prem.

[FCBurnley]

Ok off to Elland rd to see the refs gift Leeds 3 points

[Burnley Ace]

Was that a £20 in Conte’s hand when he congratulated Friend or is it my TV?

[Firthy]

All we need now is Leeds to win 1-0 with a dodgy penalty to rub the salt in.

[AwayClaret]

COME ON BRIGHTON

[ClaretAndJew]

If that was at the other end of the pitch we'd be screaming for a penalty.

[Tribesmen]

Yer not our day , look heads up we can do this

[Tall Paul]

Deserved something from that. All Brighton for the rest of the day.

[derryclaret]

Great effort, take this attitude into the last two games and we will be fine, come on Brighton!

[Pearcey]

Absolutely robbed today. Great performance.

[Tall Paul]

If that was at the other end of the pitch we'd be screaming for a penalty.

We'd have got one as well.

[tiger76]

Gutting to lose in that manner, and we can take plenty of positives to Villa now, however we do need a massive favour from Brighton now.

2 huge moments decided that match, the pen right on HT, and the Barnes shot which crashed off the post.

But keep playing like that and we can beat both Villa and Newcastle.

[Milltown1882]

We'd have got one as well.

We do always tend to get debatable penalties.

[joey13]

Totally robbed , as for spurs in the champions league what a joke

[ClaretAndJew]

We'd have got one as well.

And rightly so

[FCBurnley]

Looks like Brighton got the flip flops on

[bfcmik]

Definitely a pen under the laws of the game if they are applied rigorously. Unfortunately refs and VAR are so inconsistent in their enforcement of the laws.
Good effort from the lads throughout, especially as we were missing so many regular squad players.

[IanMcL]

If that was at the other end of the pitch we'd be screaming for a penalty.

But it would just have been waved away.

As it was 2 Spurs players, a couple of feet away, vaguely raised a hand - in the way they do, when it goes for a throw off them but they gesture just in case.

[Quicknick]

Go, BHA!

[Vino blanco]

I thought we played well today, it was a harsh penalty and I wonder if would have been looked at and given had it been the same situation at the other end of the pitch in the
Spurs box.
It was refreshing to see a change of formation from Jqckson and the team adapted well. I would have liked to have seen Weghorst on at half time. We can still stay up.....cooome on you Clarets.

[Taffy on the wing]

4 minutes ... lets have pen given by VAR against Spurs in the 4th minute of injury time and justice will be served

There is no Justice in Kevin Friends' World!

[Billy Balfour]

Absolutely gutted, but also proud of our lads. They shouldn't be too downhearted - they can take pride in that impressive performance.

[claretblue]

Was that a £20 in Conte’s hand when he congratulated Friend or is it my TV?

he wouldn’t be able to hold a TV in his hand!

[Zlatan]

Been out all afternoon and just watched the highlights. NEVER a penalty in a million years, robbed.

[box_of_frogs]

Surely you knew that was a joke to shoehorn a MJ reference in?

Presumably you didn’t get my sarcasm

[California Colner]

If that would have been at the other end no Burnley fan would say that’s not a penalty
Barnes with his arm out like a 747 wing is not going to get away with it
Penalty was a right decision

I disagree. I wouldn’t want a penalty for that. It grazed his arm, that was only out because he was pulled off balance. His arm didn’t even change the trajectory of the ball (which was going nowhere either).
