Yep. The whole crowd could see it but not our overpaid manager and his million staff.

There's a reason we are all sat in the stand and he is paid so much to be in the dugout.

Frustrating as it was, he will have had his readons and I'll back his judgement.

TheFamilyCat

He deserves a mention for the goal-saving challenge near the end. For a player who has been criticised for his defensive work that was a phenomenal bit of work.

TheFamilyCat

I also think Odobert is a good player, potentially our best. He is far more effective on the left wing where he can use his pace and skill. For me , he was out of position last night, played well but nothing more than other players could do. I think we wasted an opportunity last night. I have to ag...

TheFamilyCat

Agree with the comments about Taylor. Really frustrating not to have a proper winger having all that ball out there.

Foster was wasted on the wing too, especially with Fofana having a mare.

TheFamilyCat

Sounds like the worst episode ever of You've Been Framed. £250 for the biggest **** up.

Is there a whisky called Glenlittle? There should be.

Nobody should be taking the **** out of him when the guy asking the questions comes out with Olivier Giroud and Kai Havertz.

Wolves facing 3 teams who wear claret and blue within 7 days, Aston Villa, Burnley and then West Ham.

If he’d have played all season we’d have been nowhere near the bottom three. Huge error from Kompany, I’d rather keep Muric if push comes to shove.

Pushing for Europa at least, surely.

TheFamilyCat

Ex-pros being on VAR would be stupid idea. Any former pro who has had any links to the any of the club or playing for their rivals would just cause more problems. VAR is supposed to assist officials in not making poor decisions, instead they're just backing their poor decisions up. Instead of chang...

Money money money

Don’t forget how much betting takes place world wide on PL games One decision can win or lose millions and the big bookies ( Vegas ) will want to influence any result they can.

Why would bookies want the most likely (and therefore most backed) outcome?

TheFamilyCat

I've said this before, it's a tough choice.

I want to see Burnley playing at highest possible level. Unfortunately the highest level in England is the shitshow that visited the PL.

TheFamilyCat

Is it possible that a referee like Darren England reads Up The Clarets Messageboard and notes that he is in 21st. position according to marks given by Burnley fans. If so, could that affect his performance in a Burnley game or is he just totally incompetent whatever the game ? I think it's entirely...

Let’s hope he survives Newcastle away… and doesn’t get potted before playing us. Last thing we need is “new manager bounce”

Given some of Everton's appointments that might not be a concern.

TheFamilyCat

Twelve games without a win. I'd say he's in bother.

A 0( based on Brownhill being kicked in the chest and having a free kick awarded against him) B 0 ( based on Gallagher kicking his way through the first half and going unpunished C 0( based on his perfect position for the 'sending off' but managing to make not one but two potential game changing de...

Should have been he's shirt to lose in the first place, but I sure hope that's the case now.

It was and he did.

TheFamilyCat

Not necessarily for the football but 1995 - 2005, basically when I was in my 20's, no kids, no responsibilities and football was about a big group of us having a day out. Particularly the away days.

No typo, just reality. We as a country are living way beyond our means and need to seriously lower our expectations.

OK. Not quite how I had interpreted 'living standards'.

TheFamilyCat

Genuinely curious, are there baby changing facilities on the turf? You'd imagine this might have been addressed alongside the corner stands being built if need be, but I can't recall ever seeing any such facility. Certainly not inside the run of the mill punter areas of the stands The bookies count...

Taxes need to rise, living standards need to fall and reality needs to set in.

Please tell me that's a typo and you mean the cost of living needs to fall.

Fingers crossed with a new government this national scandal will be addressed.

It might be addressed but I can't see it being fixed anytime soon.

TheFamilyCat

I'd personally rather watchband low scoring game that goes to the last ball.

TheFamilyCat

Appalling.

I wonder how many people are outraged about this compared to say, the colour of a cross on a football shirt.

TheFamilyCat

That’s the point. He was getting picked for England whilst not playing at City so there’s no reason that Trafford can’t get picked when not playing at Burnley. With this clown in charge, anything is possible. Whilst Maguire, “Hendo” and Phillips are n the mix I’ve not given up hope of getting a cal...

Trafford's shirt to lose now. That's how it should work, isn't it?

TheFamilyCat

Those bowling figures made me wince.

Odd thing to be angry about but more exposure will mean it happens to less people in future.

How do people have passports that are over 10 years old anyway when they expire after 10 years?

TheFamilyCat

Picture the scene:

Pickford ruptures his spleen screaming at Maguire in the final group game. Ramsdale steps in but is sent off for time-wasting in the 95th minute of the semi-final. The final is 0-0 AET, Trafford saves three penalties and Bumba applies for Scottish citizenship.

Conversely, having watched the film clip of the goal that she conceded, JB's tweet does look to be 'fair comment'; that was a pee-poor bit of goalkeeping. I've seen posts on here which say far worse about James Trafford in relation to goals that weren't even his fault. So what are we suggesting, th...

Makes a bit of a mockery as to why Muric hasn’t received an England call up yet.

Wonder how many other clubs have an element of their "fan" base who can't wait to post something negative about a player basically being called up to train with the National side.

Not a discussion on whether he should/shouldn't be playing or a conspiracy theory as to why he isn't.

Spotted this on a FB page and thought it was worth posting.
