The game was uneventful, we get it. Dyche though clearly feels strongly about diving and aired his views when an example occurred. If Dyche was trying to divert from a dull game with a rant on diving the journalist is trying to divert from his lack of originality and penmanship with a rant on Dyche....

Re: 'Burnley that was abysmal!'
