McNeil shouldn't have reacted to the foul

Post by Spijed » Sun Dec 13, 2020 11:19 pm

Even though it worked out well with the sending off he could have been booked on another day by a different ref.

We've just won at Arsenal and is that the best you can come up with?

So what if he was booked anyway?! It’s hardly going to affect his game or result in a suspension. Good on him for showing some fight.

You are always going to get a reaction when someone scythes you down like that. Especially from a young lad.

As Tony just said, why try to find a negative after a great win away at Arsenal?

I thought it was a fair comment even if it did lead to the sending off it could have gone pearshaped. It was a good defensive performance but luck was on our side for a change. Just 3 points now to pass the Derby benchmark.

The final whistle blew around 2 hours ago - you've had plenty of time to come up with some complete and utter nonsense, and that is a terrible effort. Must try harder.

Was a bad foul tbh and perfect way to react to a loose cannon like that. It was a nicely controlled reactive wind up that started the ball rolling towards a win. Well done Dwight.

It’s not exactly like the assault the Greek bloke did on Barnes the other year at the Emirates which went unpunished.

I thought Westy's comments after the game were excellent, regarding Dwights reacting to the challenge... they went to protect him because he is a young lad... and Xakha put his hands around his (Westy's) neck and gained himself a red...

Can you imagine if Dwight had been sent off? Another red card would really highlight our discipline problems - guess that would of been 3 in about 8 years.

I just knew one of the "Well we did this" apologists would be out tonight. Every time an opposition player or a supporter from another club does something they are criticized for their is always at least poster saying we shouldn't be critical because one of our players or one/some/all our supporters had done something similar or worse once upon a time. Totally cannot understand why they would want to do that. I don't actually give a **** if one of our guys had stomped on his toes, knocked off his mrs or called him a bad name 10 times in the previous 2 minutes - if our players can react without grabbing someone's throat, as in this incident, then so should all players.

Is that straight reds? The full total including the double yellows wouldn't be much higher either.

Xakha is a thug and gets away with too much. Not surprised Dwight reacted the way he did. He will learn, Xakha never will.

He showed passion and agression after being wiped out in a dangerous tackle as we broke. Good on him. And he knew what he was doing too. He knew Xhaka was a liability discipline wise.

The Duff one was Moss’s finest example of total ineptitude...prior to his partial Old Trafford redemption. Probably one of the most ridiculous red cards ever. One would assume that VAR would have sorted the West Ham one these days....but you never can tell

Didn't Xhaka try taking on Defour and ended up getting sent off?

Seems like he's an idiot who doesn't learn.

If Dwight hadn't escalated the incident and walked away, we'd have got a free kick and a weak ref would have been allowed to merely wave away any of our lads' protests.
By making it a bigger issue, the Arsenal lad is suckered into losing his rag, the ref has to get involved and the lad gets sent off.
I welcome this new reaction, I'm sick of seeing us get nothing because of our honesty.

It's a valid point. I keep harking back to out first season back in the PL when we were too naive and nice. Over the seasons we have become more used to the dark arts employed by opposition teams. Arsenal have it down to a fine art.
We have started being tougher and started introducing it to our game but staying, largely; on the right side of gamesmanship. Just!
On a side note. Was refreshing to see Walcott stay on his feet in the early stages of their game yesterday. Most PL strikers would have gone down under that initial challenge.

Xhaka has a reputation for this sort of behaviour. It’s absolutely right to try to wind him up. It certainly did the job.

We did to Xhaka, exactly what other clubs did to Barton, when he was with us.

The difference was that, we were successful in pushing the right buttons, whereas Joey never reacted (or got caught ;) )

We definitely wouldn’t have got the decision, as was proven by Scott showing Xhaka a yellow card despite having a front row seat to the incident.

I don’t like VAR and I think it’s making the officials lazier, knowing that they can fall back on it. But at least a decision went in our favour because of it in this instance.

I m sure Westy would have said something to wind up the Arsenal player, and Tarky provoked that Arsenal defender, and Brady refused to return a ball provoking a reaction from the Arsenal players. Do you see a trend, the Arsenal players have a discipline problem and the Burnley players were taking advantage of that

The one thing I will say about our team under SD they are wonderfully disciplined, yet still brave and tough. Look at the red cards dished out in the PL every week, and yet its been some time since we had a sending off

The incident was entirely down to Xhaka. He lunged in at Dwight about 35 yards out from Burnley's goals (well short of even the centre circle) whilst there was no obvious immediate danger (not a case of "taking one for the team").

Dwight reacts to the stupidity of that by approaching Xhaka and remonstrating but without "going for him". Xhaka cant let it go, gets all aggressive, not deterred by Lacazete trying to calm him, he grabs Westy by the neck and pushes him. It's a bit of handbags for the players generally but Xhaka has to take it further because he has a big anger management problem.

Arsenal in general are having discipline problems currently. A couple of newspapers reporting that they've had 6 reds whilst Arteta has been in charge and the nearest amongst EPL sides is BHA with 3.

Good that Dwight is sticking up for himself whilst not losing control.
