The SUPER CLARETS vs Coventry - Match Thread

[IanMcL]

Good work Burnley. Several players. Corner Clarets

[JimmyRobbo]

ER a bit embarrassing with that dive. Thought he's looked a little rattled in the last 30 mins.

[IanMcL]

Half time 1 1

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Coventry are ******* horrible. Late, pulling shirts and claiming everything. Needed a stronger ref here.

[Cooclaret]

Bobby Thomas is playing the occasion not the game.

Seems like he has some bad blood towards Burnley FC!

[jedi_master]

Coventry fans haven’t changed from being bizarrely self important, delusional and thick since our last promotion then.

[HahaYeah]

Da Silva was only 30 mins late with that lunge.

He couldn't cope with the smart change of feet by Edwards.

[JimmyRobbo]

Well, at least I feel it's been worth watching.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Bobby Thomas seems a lot bigger than when he was with us.

[ecc]

Fractious affair. They're complaining about everything apart from their offside goal.

Can see at least one red coming.

We'll do well to win today.

[RVclaret]

Well, after being given a goal against us by the officials we reacted pretty well.

[Clive 1960]

shocking decision for there goal and think this ref could be showing a red soon , but if we get at them we will beat them. UTC

[Kgun5]

Sometimes it feel as if the refs watch the BBC thumbs up/thumbs down post meter to decide which teams should get the calls on any given week. It’s amazing to me that Leeds is loved while we’re seemingly hated.

I mean, they’re the dirty ones.

[The Hung Juror]

If their goal had been legit, I would have said the scoreline was about right. But how between them they didn’t disallow it is unbelievable.

[jojomk1]

It may be just me, but have seen very little from Foster

[Murger]

We need to do more in the 2nd half. As an attacking threat, we are offering very little.

[Goody1975]

Exactly what we expected today, Coventry are a good side at this level. These are the games though, that if you want promotion you need to come away with the points.

I feel there is a good chance that this referee is going to decide this game, even though we are shaking our heads at their fans going mad over every 50/50, they are putting him under pressure and this is a worry, as he seems to be a very average standard official.

[Kgun5]

If their goal had been legit, I would have said the scoreline was about right. But how between them they didn’t disallow it is unbelievable.

Coventry likely deserve to be level based on their play, but they do not deserve it to have been handed to them.

[jedi_master]

I will say, and it’s not just based on today, if we go up I’d be interested in Haji Wright. Uses his physicality really well and always a threat.

[Commy]

We need to go up a gear in the second half.

[Kgun5]

It may be just me, but have seen very little from Foster

Key on our goal, but pretty invisible other than a few poor passes.

[ElectroClaret]

It may be just me, but have seen very little from Foster

It isn't just you.

[FCBurnley]

Another huge reason for VAR in the championship The officials at this level cannot operate without it. Fact. Decisions like todays just make this league look amateurish

[Goody1975]

Some on here and the co-commentator keep mentioning about the ball hitting Roberts arm. His arm is in a natural position, as it is breaking his fall, it's also smashed at him from two yards away.
Never a penalty in a month of Sundays.

[northeastclaret]

Looking at the replay again for their goal Roberts could have been sent off and penalty for his save with his arm . Saying that they would have missed that like they did with the offside

[Lu-tze]

It may be just me, but have seen very little from Foster

What other than the lovely flick for our goal?
Know what you mean though, think we need to get Edwards more involved he should get more room today with them being more attacking than most teams we play.

[Commy]

Anyone else noticed how the Coventry fans shout hand ball every time it hits one of our players?

[FCBurnley]

We need Fleming or even Barnes upfront to hold the ball up and bring others into the game Foster did well on our goal but little else

[Lu-tze]

Looking at the replay again for their goal Roberts could have been sent off and penalty for his save with his arm . Saying that they would have missed that like they did with the offside

Thought the rule now was if you’ve put your arm down to break your fall and it hits it it’s no pen.

[Kgun5]

Another huge reason for VAR in the championship The officials at this level cannot operate without it. Fact. Decisions like todays just make this league look amateurish

Pass.

Yes, I want it right, but it’s clear VAR isn’t able or willing to make it right for everyone. Also, there are a few recent games where VAR would have awarded penalties against us, likely costing us points.

It’s just not worth the uncertainty, for me.

[ecc]

God knows what the rule is.

Instead of bringing in VAR they need to look at bringing the best officials from around the world into our game. There is enough money swilling around in the trough. (better versions of Jarred Gillett)

The whole system needs a massive overhaul.

[Tricky Trevor]

JA again gerrin

[Bosscat]

OMG what a balls up by Cov keeper ... Jadon Anthony gets a double

[ElectroClaret]

Jaidooooooooonnnn

[Conroysleftfoot]

I think Frank told his team to throw one in because he knew their goal was offside.

[ecc]

Well done, Jaydon to latch on to that.

[Venkys4eva]

Fantastic!! Top of the league
