Winning against the lesser teams if they can do it so can we,when it's our turn to play these teams we will see just how good a team Parker has put together.

Played one last week didn't we?

Born in the USA & Sweet Home Alabama blazing out as the Americans toil to an opening session beatdown, whilst crybaby-in-chief makes it to the event.

They really are braindead, aren't they?

I'd say Born in the USA is quite appropriate here, for a change

3-0

Only 1 down in the last.

Can we get a half?

Or a win?

Great start.

There's an old man yelling at cloud vibe in this thread.

It's more popular than it's ever been so it can't be that boring.

Just suppose the penalty had been saved and the encroaching player player scored from say a rebound what then?

Then it's a free kick to the defending team

I know someone who talks throughout a game about anything and nothing

Is his name Phil Bird?

When we play down South there's always a few characters in the away end who look like they've never been to Burnley in their life. Probably started supporting us in the 60s because we were one of the best teams, or for some obscure reason. What do people who have never been to Burnley in their life...

What for? You can’t get a red for simulation.

Could and possibly should have been a second yellow for his foul on Anthony.

Let's not do a sky here. No argument with the penalty , nailed on. The issue was the sending off. Oliver was desperate to do that. Sky make nothing of it (they won't and of course it won't matter anyway), but why did Slot feel the need to remove his full back on 35mins and apologises to him on the ...

New season, new rules. They always have to tinker.

Not new, they've been doing it for at least the last two seasons

Think those represent three different areas of the ground. It's not really clear from the way it's been copy/pasted.

Chelsea self-reported the breaches.

Nothing to see here.

Tierney will kill us, if nothing else.

He always does.

Funny that, Liverpool supporters say the same about him.

Not sure how he's going to manage to do it to both teams on Sunday.

Do you reckon it's worth it though.??.or pay the extra for the National lottery. Seems to have a better chance to win. I'm not greedy ..a couple of grand would do me nicely

It's not worth it. Fool's tax, just like the National Lottery.

Tall Paul

My approach would be simple. Using whichever freeze frame (not cartoon mockup) the VAR officials deem as when the ball was played, without using any lines if they cannot confirm visually that the player is definitely offside within 10 seconds, then it’s onside and be done with it. I always had the ...

Maybe he's like the rest of us and doesn't like VAR and marginal nonsense offside calls

They use VAR in the Saudi league.

William Osula from Newcastle has offer of £28.5million from Frankfurt!!!! 22 year old striker with 4 professional goals!!!!!

That's only 4 more goals than me!!!!

He's scored 11 goals but I suppose the point still stands.

Tall Paul

I suspect there are more penalties. In the old rules, refs were only supposed to give penalties when they were sure. Now, they give them willy-nilly, and VAR adds a few more You could have easily checked whether there have been more penalties you know. There has been a small increase but nowhere ne...

Tall Paul

Some very balanced and fair minded comments on here. I accept the offside was the correct decision in that the goal was disallowed in real time and that was ‘probably’ the right decision. The penalty was not the right decision. VAR should only get involved when there is a clear and obvious error. I...

Tall Paul

The difference between the 2 is that for the first one he thought it was a penalty from his angle because he could not see that Mount was actually fouling Walker whereas on the second one he had a perfectly good view and decided that it did not warrant a foul. I do not believe for one second that h...

Tall Paul

I agree with Parker in that we’re no longer looking to favour goals being scored. We’ve got a system now designed to find reasons (however small and fractional) to deny goals. If the rules that denied Foster and Fulham yesterday were correctly applied, then in my opinion the rules need reviewing. Y...

Tall Paul

A newspaper, maybe The Times, had said that Anthony released the shirt before his hand got into the box, but due to the stretched shirt the player was being fouled while HE was in the box (obviously that cannot happen with a tackle). I assume that is why the review took so long. Whether that should...

Tall Paul

It would but he was clearly guessing (as it was so marginal he should be keeping his flag down) as was the ref when he gave the first half penalty and when he gave the free kick for the first goal. The lino gave another dodgy offside when we were on top to curtail a second half attack and impact mo...

Tall Paul

Yeah, Chelsea v Fulham was bad.

Tall Paul

If there was no VAR the two penalty decisions would cancel each other out and the offside would still have been given.

Then Match of the Day would analyse it in minute detail and everyone would be calling for VAR.

The rules are to be interpreted in a way that incorporates common sense though no?

Rules or not, can anybody seriously tell me that the same decision would have been given down the opposite end of the field?

Yes.

We literally have an example of a VAR decision in our favour in the first half

Tall Paul

It's Fosters right foot that is offside

Tall Paul

VAR got all the decisions right unfortunately.

Hard to argue it's biased against us when they could have easily not overturned the penalty in the first half

Tall Paul

It was a penalty unfortunately. Crazy thing to do Anthony.

Funnily enough, I’m in a restaurant in Lisbon right now and I’ve just asked the waiter for his opinion. I quote word for word and he said “he’s absolutely dog egg”

The guy reporting is followed by Romano, Ornstein, McGrath, Kay, Plettenberg etc so he's clearly legit. That would be peak Marinakis.

But Marinakis has no control at Forest, it can't be anything to do with him.

Won't play for us again. Parker couldn't make use of him in the Championship and has essentially told him he doesn't want him in the Premier League. All this is is trying to boost the fee we'll get for him since we've managed to turn him from a £20m player to one we wouldn't get half that for in th...
