Clarets v City match thread

[pauliopaulio]

Gutted about the lighter throw and the invader.

We’ve so much to proud of over the last decade and the last 12-16 months especially. We all saw from the Power Paddy advert how easy it is to stereotype BFC, the town itself and us fans.

The coverage before the game on Sky was so positive. The after game coverage will concentrate on the City performance but also our “hooligan” fanbase and no doubt “same old Burnley”.

Just like this result shouldn’t (and wont) derail the season we can’t allow a few knobheads to derail everything we’ve built as a fanbase and club.

[Casper2]

Nah someone in the Bob Lord had one too many sugars in his half time tea

It’s not funny

[expoultryboy]

Absolute joke

[DCWat]

How to **** is that a red!!!!?

[JimmyRobbo]

Probably the correct decision.

[willsclarets]

Its not a great challenge that

[boatshed bill]

What a pity.

[Pickles]

Blatant red. No maliciousness but absolutely a red. Good use of VAR.

[Longsidebovril]

It’s not funny

No you’re right. It’s serious.

[expoultryboy]

Slow motion made it look worse than it actually was .

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Agree red card

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Where was VAR on our penalty

[willsclarets]

Weird night. Played well for large parts but with the crowd issues and the sending off it all feels a bit flat

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Shame that

He’d already started lunging for the ball before walkers pace got him in front of him, just so happened he caught Walker’s calf

Any other day he wouldn’t catch the leg

[daveisaclaret]

Very, very silly from Zaroury. It's a red all day long, even though it isn't malicious or a particularly hard tackle.

[CombatClaret]

Where were VAR on our penalty

Never a pen. Foden got brought down in our box under the same pressure. Used to be meat & drink for Ben Mee

[ClaretAndJew]

Thing is there's people who defend those who throw lighters and invade pitches, they are from the same moronic stock as those who do it. There is no arguing or reasoning with them because they just simply don't care.

[RVclaret]

Is that 3 games?

[addisclaret]

Good job we have 12 wingers in the squad

[bf2k]

That’s not a red card. Never in a million years a red card

A red card is for endangering an opponent. That was a yellow but never a red

[LTUK89]

100% a red. Shin snapper.

[DCWat]

Soft as for me that!

Fair enough a yellow but that was never a red!

[Caballo]

12 months of media 'good will' wiped out in 90 mins. Helmets !!

[Casper2]

Benson made of glass , for all his talents

[Foshiznik]

No malice involved as he was trying to hook the ball and Kyle walkers pace beat him but definite red unfortunately.

[Taffy on the wing]

Benson crocked now..........FFS!

[DCWat]

100% a red. Shin snapper.

Give over man!

[bfcmik]

3 games, yes

[GodIsADeeJay81]

100% a red. Shin snapper.

From the back of the calf at that distance?
Never going to snap a shin

[boatshed bill]

Very, very silly from Zaroury. It's a red all day long, even though it isn't malicious or a particularly hard tackle.

Late sub on and not up to the pace of the game, I guess.

[Casper2]

100% a red. Shin snapper.

He caught his calf

[DAVETHEVICAR]

One of the clearest red cards you will see

[Casper2]

Where was VAR on our penalty

It wasn’t a penalty

[Foshiznik]

Our season starts now!

[Casper2]

Late sub on and not up to the pace of the game, I guess.

Kyle Walker FFS

[Clovius Boofus]

I'm not naffed off by the result because we had our moments against one of the best teams in the world. I'm more miffed off at Zaroury's inevitable ban.

[bf2k]

One of the clearest red cards you will see

I’m sorry but you don’t understand the rules if you think that’s a clear red. He didn’t endanger Walker.

[ClaretAndJew]

Our season starts now!

I would say it probably starts 21st October when we have an easier run of games

[Pickles]

I’m sorry but you don’t understand the rules if you think that’s a clear red. He didn’t endanger Walker.

He nearly broke his leg?!

[CaptJohn]

Oliver couldn't wait to get the chance to give us a red card. I hope his next bowel movement is a large pineapple.

[Taffy on the wing]

Gladioli still working the officials .......cheating ****!

[Foshiznik]

I’m sorry but you don’t understand the rules if you think that’s a clear red. He didn’t endanger Walker.

Really? Take the rose tinted specs off.

[BabylonClaret]

It's a ckear red in today's game. Its not really intentional but you cant lunge in like that at all

[jojomk1]

Weird night. Played well for large parts but with the crowd issues and the sending off it all feels a bit flat

You can't start a game without a recognised LB
Vitinho caught out for 1st goal at RB and culpable for 2nd at LB
CM weak again - saw one stat where Berge had the fewest touches of any player in the 1st half - just 6
But hey that was City
VK said before the game that tonight would be our poorest performance of the season
Learn and move on

[SalisburyClaret]

Obvious red card
Obvious penalty
Only goes one way

[FCBurnley]

Could have been worse but not much. Disappointed by the team selection and the red.

[expoultryboy]

We played well against the best team in Europe . For once it wasn't 5 nil ( or 6 ) . I really really don't understand what gets into some people , don't they realise the harm thier actions does to our club ?

[ClaretMat]

We will have similar tackles to that against us this season that don't even get a yellow card. He lunged for the ball and caught him a little high, demonstrated by VAR to Pawson from the start point of the worst possible angle.

We did well for large parts of tonight.

[willsclarets]

Always going to be difficult. Got to sort out our defending on set pieces particularly though. They didnt have a huge amount of chances really. Thought Larsen took up some good positions, and benson was lively. Foster will have a good season can just sense it. Loads to look forward to. Thank god them lot are out the way for now

[scouseclaret]

Never a pen. Foden got brought down in our box under the same pressure. Used to be meat & drink for Ben Mee

Ha! Anyone remember that pen Jesse Lingard won against us at old Trafford a few years ago?
