I assume motd will show it but from what I saw in CFS Barnes clearly barged the keeper over before Ben got his bonce on it.

Pope - 8 no issues, made some smart stops. Bardsley - 9 handled Anderson with ease. Mee - 8 calm, not much to do. Tarkowski - 8 as above. Nice assist Taylor - 9 excellent all game Hendrick - 9 so tidy and got forward. Attacked with purpose and linked the play well. Cork - 9 back to the Jack we know ...

Clear and obvious does not apply to offside decisions. Offside decisions are black and white, although they can only be determined by the technology available which obviously carries a margin of error. By the same token, goal line technology will also carry a margin of error. Surely the goal line t...

The Ben Mee goal was a stonewall and needless foul by Barnes. He just barged the keeper over. I didn't see a foul on Mee, what would happen with simultaneous fouls in the area?!

Claretmatt4

Not sure you can call him out on Ben Mee's 'goal' as Barnes steamed into Robert before Mee even got his head on the ball. As clear a foul as you'd ever see.

He wasn't great though.

Get well soon Dave!

Also, if it goes to var they need to consider what advantage was gained. The sheff United one is a good example, what benefit was there for him being and extra centimetre ahead?

Or even better idea, get rid of it.

As sh*te as we were last week we were excellent today. Well done Burnley, to a man excellent.

I've had a bit of a weird one. Had a few shandies after work in manchester, and met some random bloke near my flat on the way home. Spoke no English but had a bus ticket to get to London. Took him to the bus who refused to let him in as he was steaming. Ended up giving him an old Burnley shirt and s...

Well mate I was thinking of trying to make some sort of joke about the Pope but you beat me to it with a serious piece of info. The problem lies in you uncovering yet another conspiracy. Pope? 1234?

Our value of him should be greater than any club are prepared to pay. He's such a difference maker in this team and has his best years ahead of him. Let's start at £50m (which would be too much for Leicester and Wolves) Realistically I think we will settle at £30m and be kicking ourselves in a few y...

I just got the entire Burnley team. I can't play with anyone else! It's quite satisfying though pasting some kid with hundreds of pounds worth of players, especially if it's a late header from Barnes.

Problem is I have coins and nothing to spend them on till there are some in form clarets!

Claretmatt4

Hold L2 when you're defending and don't sprint if you want to move side to side quicker.

Claretmatt4

Very confident predictions here which is worrying!

I think we'll win but rarely have I seen so much positivity in a PL away game, its terrifying. Surely its us not them who are targeting the game as a fairly routine win!

Claretmatt4

Very interesting article. Within 3 paragraphs we find out that the 'film' is one minute long, was filmed 'close to blackburn' and all of these unbelievable facts are merely 'suggested' by research.

Incredible discovery really. Surprised it isn't on the sky news banner.

I get the point being made here about the ball being easier for Vardy to attack, but similarly Mee should have either positioned himself better or at least leapt to make the header more difficult for Vardy. Replays don't show why he didn't jump but I'm sure it's not for lack of effort. For what it's...

Never actually been in but the article makes me think its less of a bear put than I'd imagined.

As if it says 'til we play' on the last image though as in the words of the NNN song... Terrible form!

Claretmatt4

Who are they playing for it to be that price? I always thought it was cheap as Ken?

Claretmatt4

If you had the ball and a half yard on the last defender, and sprinted into the box, then decided to suddenly stop still where you were, forcing the defender to run into you, would that be a penalty?

Odoi stopped suddenly, how could Lowton have avoided the 'push'?

Niners still lookin tasty!

Patriots defence is just too good.

I think Wood has steadily improved since he joined. He's certainly a confidence striker though and hopefully a good spell of chances and goals will keep him focused. He's quicker than he looks and much better on the ball than you'd expect. The fact we get frustrated at him often is a sign of how far...

Might just be adding to the problem but some away games should be rewarded with more points. It's easy to go on the big local games that always sell out, but you should be rewarded for long distance, awkwardly timed, lower profile games in my opinion. E. G. More points for Bournemouth, Brighton and ...

Westwood - 5

Horrific. It's all marketing these days, make it as crazy as possible and people talk about it loads, then morons will buy it and claim they like it.

Side on view here. The ball was accelerating away from Evans and no way he catches it 'trip' or otherwise

Perhaps being a bit harsh, but it was littered with mistakes. Agree on the above as three that performed okay and looked to make things happen. Wood was very good.
