Fly on the wall

I'd have loved to hear the conversation between Sean Dyche and Ashley Westwood after Westy went down in a delayed manner following his karate chop from Buendia

I'm guessing that he got a bit of stick from the likes of Tarks, Bardsley, Long and Pieters too

[warksclaret]

Much debate on this outside of Burnley, but I thought Dion Dublin, once a Norwich player made a very valid point. If you look at the Norwich players arm which connected with Westwood, the hand was clinched. His other hand was not. This to me this is anger and intent to harm

[ClaretTony]

I can only suggest you've not been struck like that RalphCoatesComb if you thought he went down in a delayed manner. Dublin had it spot on.

[MACCA]

Right at the top of the neck/lower back of the head is possibly the softest part of your head and full of nerves and muscle.
He literally could have knocked him out with that cowardly elbow if he had hit the spot.
Certainly a sore one, and was 100% intentional.

CT-surprised Ralph needed a comb

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Even Farke said they were both reds. An elbow to the head hurts and he didn’t stay down. He gave it a rub and jumped up. No play acting at all.

[DCWat]

I didn’t see any delay with him going down?

Are you sure you weren’t watching the bit where they pause it, on VAR?

Essential!

I was surprised at how many have said he went down easy, there’s a reason you can’t punch there in boxing. In slow motion it won’t look that hard but your elbow is tough

[cbx750]

In slow motion you could see Westwood's hair bouncing it would not do that from a soft blow.

I have had several blows to the head over the years but, thankfully, not an elbow chop to the back of the neck. It was a RED, should have been a RED, but Westy did make a meal of it.

Have I got this right...Ashley made a meal out of an "Elbow Chop"

That's as I saw it but, I apologise for disagreeing with you

[cricketfieldclarets]

Went down easy. And I’d be miffed if it was the other way. But I’d be more miffed at our player for giving the ref an easy decision to make.

Reality is you can’t do it. No matter how soft it was.

I think he was making the pun “meal” and “chop”.
