Are we talking refereeing or wrong offside calls which are not down to the referee?
Two poor refereeing decisions were by Lee Probert at Cardiff who should have given Leicester a penalty for Bamba's great save and Roger East who should have given the Hammers a penalty against us.

Could not have a weekend in London as my wife is on crutches following an operation so went to Cheddar to see my son-in laws team St Austell win 2-1. Found myself stood next to a fellow Burnley fan supporting Cheddar! He was checking his phone for the latest score and my eldest son was texting me f...

We improved when Ash came on with Wood, but he did expect a free kick but throwing himself on his arse was pathetic and more or less led to their 3rd we must watch Arsenal a bit more they fall over and dive like proper experts. It isn't just Arsenal that do it, watching Wolves yesterday, it looked ...

Yes but it clashes with the 4pm game! That makes no difference because you would make a choice to go and watch the only game that was taking place or stay in and watch the other match on TV, whereas when they kick off at the same time, those running the show seem to think that this would affect you...

Ashingtonclaret46

There was no other PL game on TV, therefore, no 1-30 kick off so City's match does not clash with an earlier kick off. TV Rules!

Ashingtonclaret46

In an offside position when the original ball was played but did not attempt to play the ball, therefore, the Law says he is not active. When Firminho shot and hit the bar, Mane was behind the ball and, according to TLOG he is onside and the goal should have stood. IT --the law can't be wrong becaus...

Yes, Bournemouth scored and the result was..........? Eddie was almost crying when the United winner went in. That's football for you.

We could drop down to 16th if Cardiff win against Leicester!

Ashingtonclaret46

It is as a consequence of reaching the PL. We have similar problems because the expectation of some fans far exceeds the capabilities of the Club. Consolidation has to be the aim of clubs winning promotion, some try to achieve it by spending large sums of money whilst others try to stick with the ma...

Good article Dave, certainly plenty of perspective, as TVC15 has said. It was good to see you on Saturday for the brief chat and a few laughs ---remember how hopeful we were that we could get a point before the game ---wrong again! lol Life goes on and we shall try again this week, against a Hammers...

Very sad to read of injuries like this because it is a long time to be out of the game and difficult for players from a psychological point of view. We have had our fair share in recent years and those players have come back OK in the main so good luck to Mace in his recovery.

Spurs went behind in the 6th minute and yet managed less shots against City than we did ---and they were at home!
All this crap about the pitch, I would have loved to have seen them on the old White Hart Lane in days gone by ==it was like playing on a ploughed field.

Ashingtonclaret46

Not strictly true because George Friend had one on target for Derby in the first half

Ashingtonclaret46

Ashington for me in the Northern League First Division. They lack consistency and there is always a big turnover of players so they usually manage to finish around mid-table. On their day they can beat teams from higher up the Pyramid, however, everything would have to fall into place. Some great pl...

I can't see anybody aged 64+ saying anything other than Harry Potts (part1). You could go on any game, home or away, against any of the top teams and know we were very capable of outplaying and beating them. Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with this, I have to admit that I enjoy supporting the Claret...

The Merlin Ball ---named after the legendary wizard because it makes your money disappear quickly!

Ashingtonclaret46

Sorry Ash but I disagree. It happens quite regularly that a defender is directly in front of a linesman when a tight offside occurs. They cannot have seen one way or the other but the onus is on them to flag or not. I’m not having a pop at them it’s a thankless job. So you are saying that whether t...

Ashingtonclaret46

Depends how far out it is and his angle, he also had Joe Hart in the way. It’s impossible for them to give an accurate offside if a defender is immediately in front of them so they guess. He should have been on the line because of the way play had developed and this is where he was, although right ...

Certainly very happy memories of a day when the lads really did want to play and, because of the Central League's existence, were able to do so in competitive matches every week and they were well supported in their efforts and were well prepared when they had to make the step up to the first eleven.

Thank for the updates CT, no doubt Preston will be happy!

Ashingtonclaret46

According to Burnley FC Official Tweet it is 0-0 after 36 minutes with both sides having had a few chances, the best falling to Preston.
Half time it is 0-0

Well done to Tinashe ---really pleased to see him doing well.

Was that the battling 0-0 which finished as a 6-1 win to City on 29 August this year? Mind you it was 0-0 for 8 iminutes longer than we managed on Saturday.

Palace looked toothless up front. Palace have had 100 shots this season and scored 5 goals with 36% shots on target. Huddersfield have had 90 shots and scored 4 goals with 22% shots on target. Southampton have had 125 shots and scored 6 goals with 32% shots on target. Cardiff have had 108 shots and...

Not directed at Ashington. I'm not sure why Hipper thought that it was because I didn't read your comment as directed at me.

If Sané gets a yellow for the dive then he goes for the hack on Lowton in any case True --but he didn't and it is all now consigned to history with some Burnley fans moaning because the manager criticised the lack of decisions. At 0-1 down anything was possible but that gift just changed the game, ...

Ashingtonclaret46

General concensus was that Kompany was very lucky but they thought that the referee may not have had the best view. Absolute disbelief from everyone that the second goal was allowed to stand and most thought that Sane had tried to con the referee in the build up. Quite a number thought that Sane sho...

Good report CT and the second goal was certainly a killer --I just thought that they had different Laws of the Game in Manchester!
It was certainly a thing for discussion this morning at a referees' meeting!

Yes, but you don't realise that being 13th after 9 games means that we are doomed and relegated ---just like Crystal Palace last season who had 3 points at this stage!

Another good win by 3-1 against Hull today.
Mitch George opened the scoring in the 9th minute and the second goal came in the 52nd minute when Kai Smith scored, Terry Mupariwa added a third in the 86th minute and Hull pulled one back in added time.

From someone who played a lot of football and has ended up with bad arthritic knees, I wish him well and hope that this procedure gets rid of his problem, whatever it is.
Good luck Stephen and I hope that you make a full and speedy recovery and get back to full fitness.

We are sitting too deep and have no out ball which is very dangerous against Spain. We need to make sure we clear our lines and press them further up the field

A good point in the end against Forest and we are still level on points with them although Sheffield Wednesday have now gone 2 points clear after a 2-0 win away at bottom club Hull.

That is a good result against a fairly strong Leeds team who, of course, are a huge club. Well done to little old Burnley!

It will be a pleasant change to watch players from both teams appearing at Old Trafford giving it everything they have got, not feigning injury and showing respect for the officials.
