That should have been disallowed, the replay they played from behind shows exactly what the forward was doing.
But Al Dakill was weak again against Morris, he should have at least challenged him but he was shrugged off as if he wasn’t there.

MG70

Underwhelming is an understatement. I remember having a conversation with my Dad, agreeing we needed a striker that would get us over the line and he wasn't that. Maybe that's why I'm not a football manager lol.

MG70

It's funny how the mind plays tricks on you, I thought Charlie Austin had left before Sean Dyche was appointed. And Ashley Barnes has to go down as one of the best signings in the last 20 years, if not longer.

MG70

An excellent signing, I didn't realise he was only 26 when he arrived.
John Aldridge seemed to do really well at Tranmere, I can't remember him doing anything else after them.

MG70

So sorry for your loss AmbleClaret.

Trafford: 1.97 metres
Muric: 1.98 metres

Something I am seeing is that Trafford really does look a lot smaller than he is.

I didn’t realise they were so similar in height, if that’s the case then I hold my hand up. Muric does look a lot taller though like you say.

MG70

I think he means that the extra bit of height Myric has would have enabled him to tip it over the bar. It ballooned into the net just over Trafford's fingers, not his fault but another 2 inch of reach and he saves it. Thanks Spindles, that's exactly what I meant and dsr knows that. But he's one of ...

You should have said Muric would have saved the penalty too. People might think you were serious only having him save two of them.

Good one. If by this stage, you think Trafford has been good enough you're delusional.

MG70

We have to put Muric back in. For me he saves the own goal and I think he makes himself big enough to save Sterling's goal. I don't think Trafford is big enough, or commanding enough.

What nonsense. If he didn't celebrate there'd be something wrong. If they beat us in a cup final should he refuse to accept the medal?

Whoosh

MG70

It has to be Muric. Last season apart from the odd error, (which every keeper has, no matter how good they are) he was immense. Even in pre season, he’s looked good.

Based on a 3 yr rolling basis We spent very little the first year Then we made a shedload of money last summer with sales and reinvested a portion of it but also had parachute payments coupled with a lower wage bill This summer we’ve been able to spend big but some signings are loan with obligation...

Everton are desperately trying to stay within ffp rules, they’ve got several clubs trying to find a way to have points deducted from them They’ve let several players go because they’ve got no money really and need to chop the wage bill Dyche has inherited a proper sh!tshow, it’s been well documente...

I was 16 when we played Orient, it was definitely draining watching that day. Now I'm 52, I honestly don't think I'd be able to take that again.

Born in Burnley, I had a season ticket for over 20 years. I emigrated to Australia in August 2008, my last game was the 3-0 defeat to Ipswich. I left thinking it was going to be a long long season, I was gutted I missed it all. I did make it back for the play off final though, but to this day I have...

Such a contrast from last season. It’s been absolutely incredible. Roll on August. UTC. It's been a refreshing change from the last few seasons, and that's not laying the blame at anyone's feet. This season is what every Claret needed, to see a game and expecting us to win has been amazing. I feare...

Is that not a bit like saying we've never won the top division because football didn't exist before 1992? We've won the second tier title 4 or 5 times I think haven't we?

And we're still reining Division 4 Champions, 31 years in a row.

MG70

Sorry to hear that wbfc, may she RIP.

MG70

I wouldn't change this season for anything. But, in away I wish we could be champions and not go up. The premier league does get tiresome when you're at the bottom and struggling every week.

MG70

The story about his time at Plymouth is bizarre, surely the rest of the team didn't hold a grudge because he stopped someone scoring. Something else must have happened for it to be that bad. And the house haunting is crazy.

MG70

Classic case of the international break stopping all momentum. Either that, or the City defeat hurt the players more than we think.

They looked very nervous after the equaliser, maybe before. Absolutely magnificent second half.

The fish and chips at Scarborough were amazing.

I hated/admired Alexander when he played against us, always a thorn in our side. When we signed him, I thought he was past it. As the old saying goes right place right time, he was exactly what we needed that year.

I'm unsure that any of the above would be anywhere near 'World Class'.

You don't think Trevor Steven was world class? I don't think you ever saw him play then.

"BBC reports: "West Ham have signed Ivory Coast winger Maxwel Cornet from Burnley on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee after paying his £17.5m release clause."

I thought because that became public knowledge, the release clause was voided?

I can’t believe how much time and space we have on the ball.

The Allegro is as ugly now as it was then. The Granada though, is still beautiful.

If West Ham are looking to improve their squad, there is no chance they are after Brownhill.

That was a shock waking up to that, it's been all over the news here down under. That's 3 great Aussie cricketers this year, Symonds, Shane Warne and Rod Marsh.

He did what Ashley Barnes does best, got right under their skin. He annoyed the heck out of them and got us a couple of important free kicks.

Super nervous first half, we’ve made them look a lot better than they are.
