Vincent Kompany...

[CoolClaret]

...will now have a touchline ban in the home game against Arsenal thanks to picking up another yellow card today.

Not good enough is it?

A bit embarrassing the amount of cards he and Bellamy have gotten this season.

[RVclaret]

Lord Dyche served a touchline ban today for the same reason. Wouldn’t call it embarrassing.

[NewClaret]

[Sheedyclaret]

Had some shocking decisions against us though so can understand his frustrations

not surprising when VAR is cheating us out of the right decision

[Goliath]

What a daft thing to have a dig about

[burnleymik]

No problem with passion and frustration, especially with some of the awful decisions we have been on the wrong end of this season.

[taio]

Not embarrassing. As said, Dyche had the same punishment today.

He did yes and I found that poor of Dyche as well!

Hmm, I'd prefer more making a point in pre game / post game pressers and not getting booked on the side of the pitch when he's got a team to manage.

Bound to lose his cool from time to time. Like many other PL managers.

So you want him to just stand there and say nothing? I don't quite follow you here CC. It was a pivotal point in the game and he was right to make his point with passion. I have absolutely no problem with that, especially when you consider just how many times this has happened now.

Never said that. Sure there's a better way than getting carded though? Think making some proper points in a presser would be more poignant than going at the 4th official as well.

[StayingDown4Ever]

I wish he was banned from picking the team too so we might get to see Muric.

[taio]

Surely it's more understandable, and certainly not embarrassing, that Kompany reacted instinctively in the moment, rather than in the media afterwards risking a ban for such an incident alone, which is what happened to Klopp.

[COBBLE]

Thanks for caring Vincent.

Pick your poison.

I'd prefer some composure and leadership in game and to really make a point when afforded the opportunity with a well thought, articulated point.

Not going mad at the forth official - maybe a bit less of that and a bit more of actually managing the team?

They all do it. As we've just seen in the Forest v Newcastle game. I'm surprised you find it embarrassing.

[spt_claret]

Can't agree with this.
We've had some shocking, shocking decisions this season. Don't think that was the deciding factor today although it happened at a time that certainly swung things, but I cannot begrudge a manager for being irate at what's been going on. Everyone always thinks they're hard done by (Bloody Klopp moaning over a throw-in 5 minutes after their foul-goal) but I'd take that level of passion over boredom or indifference.

[Wokingclaret]

Jesus CoolClaret, Stan would be on a yellow/red every game with these refs

[Shaggy]

Shame He’s our manager. We deserve better than this pretender.

[Tricky Trevor]

All he said was, “that’s a foul”. He said it twice so deserved a card for repetition.

[Boss Hogg]

He’s getting frustrated because he’s out of his depth. All teams suffer from officials’ decisions. This team has had far greater problems this season.

Most PL managers receive punishment for dissent

[Bosscat]

Yet another garbage pointless thread ...

Jesus wept just give it a rest

[spt_claret]

Jesus CoolClaret, Stan would be on a yellow/red every game with these refs

Stan would have chinned Klopp today the way Jurgen was still moaning after being the beneficiary of a wrongful goal.

And I still kinda miss the guy.

[Cooclaret]

Another week goes by, another easy ride given in the pre match press, and other display of inaptitude.

He HAS to go!

[Goliath]

What are we even complaining about here, does anyone even know why he was sent off, even Klopp said he didn't know why, so its amazing that people on here know.

He's shown great restraint in the press conference again as well, i think it-s an absolutely dreadful decision not to disallow the goal with VAR. Their player has virtually volleyed Ramseys shin, it's an absolutely blatant foul. If anyone ever asks me again why players go down easily, i will just show them that.

[Goody1975]

He HAS to go!

NO he doesn't

[BurnleyFC]

I wouldn’t criticise him for nutting the inept officials, so I’m not going to criticise him for having a bit of a whinge.

Persisting with players who really should be dropped is a different matter, though.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Never said that. Sure there's a better way than getting carded though? Think making some proper points in a presser would be more poignant than going at the 4th official as well.

If he complains during the game, he gets carded
If he complains to the media he gets an FA charge

If he doesn’t complain, you’ll probably moan about it

I don’t think it matters what he does but we’d rather he moaned instead of taking it with no complaints

[daveisaclaret]

Hard to imagine how we will cope without him in the dugout.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I’m surprised so many keep mentioning Trafford, for me Amdouni has been really poor for the best part of 10-15 games now and he seems to be a certain starter regardless of performance

[Targetman]

Shame He’s our manager. We deserve better than this pretender.

It seems you are a serial manager basher!

I find using the word "gotten" to be rather embarrassing.

I thought first half Amdouni and fofana held the ball up well and caused problems, Amdouni just plays on the edge in the wrong part of the pitch and loses the ball to much. But he’s not the one rushing out his box to claim for a ball, running into his own player and then claiming he was fouled

[Swizzlestick]

A bit of an odd OP considering the same poster was bemoaning the lack of fight and old Burnley values, if you will, not so long back. Ironically our previous manager was also serving a touchline ban today. There’s a lot to criticise Kompany for this season, but showing some emotion? Justifiably too. Come on now.

This is on par with you moaning that the fa cup name and numbers were part of the club losing its soul.

17 managers in the league have all got at least 1 yellow card this season it’s the new rules

[ElectroClaret]

Hard to imagine how we will cope without him in the dugout.

[Vino blanco]

I find using the word "gotten" to be rather embarrassing.

Do you find the use of the word “forgotten “ and “ill-begotten “ embarrassing as well? They all come from the Old Norse root verb “geta “ whose past participle is “geten, which leads to the English word “gotten”. The Oxford English Dictionary attests the first use of the word “gotten “ to the 4th century and the word was used by Shakespeare, Bacon and Pope as well as in The King James’ Bible.

Use "got". Gotten is a word that seems to have slipped into general use only recently, American influences via the likes of Netflix, Disney etc. Not necessary to change a really useful word like 'got' in my humble opinion.

You misunderstood. “Gotten” was the original past participle of the verb “get” and was in use for many centuries before being shortened to “got”. When the first English settlers opened up the colonies in America and Canada in the 17th century they were simply using the correct form of the past participle of “get” which was “gotten”, and this was still being used in Britain at the same time and well into the 18th century. This means the Americans and Canadians are actually using the original and correct past participle today. They never changed to “got” which was a much later shortening of the word introduced first in to British English in the late 18th/early 19th century. “Gotten” was still used regularly especially in Northern England as late as the 1960s. Iremember my grandma would say phrases like “wheresta gotten yon coyt fra?” (Where’ve you got that coat from?).
It certainly accepted that got is now the regularly used past participle, but I believe it is nothing to be embarrassed about.

I did not know that, not something I thought I would learn on here that's for sure ! Nice one

[Cooclaret]

NO he doesn't

Kompany claims he only got a yellow because Jurgen had wound the referee up already…

Can’t even manage his own behaviour in the dugout. Sounds like a child making excuses.

So YES he does.

Did you also read the bit where Klopp said kompany didn't deserve a yellow card, or have you missed it out on purpose?

I like a lot of things about VK but he is losing that calmness we have seen so often previously… I think he is running out of ideas how to win games and blaming officials is petulant and not a good look and won’t win him any friends ..

How hard is it to see there's an extra consonant in my username?!

& I stand by that comment, which is a world away from this season!
