Spuds v Super Clarets Match Thread

[expoultryboy]

At the game and since the first 10 mins we've played really well . I'd like to see Leslie for Laurent after 60 minutes if fit .

[Clive 1960]

Fleming on for Hannibal for me and let's go for it they are not that good..

[IanMcL]

Its becoming more obvious why none of the promoted teams have stayed up in recent times.

It's a private club!

[CalamityClaret]

So if a player is pushed over in the area, but the ball is at the other end of the pitch, you’d want a penalty?

If it's a foul yes

[CryerBFC]

So far so good I think, bar the goal, which was avoidable.

Hartman looks a good outlet going forward, Esteve and Ekdal look to have woken up since the goal, Laurent has massively impressed me in the step up, Hannibal is pivotal to how we play, Anthony growing into the game but appears a little light weight, Foster has been great with his hold up and running.

We could easily get something from this game

[IanMcL]

I suspect if we are behind, after 70 mins, attackers will come on.

[Elizabeth]

The problem being Hannibals pressing and work rate are vital. Tricky one

That's the beauty of a squad, especially a happy one. Hannibal still can continue pressing but at some stage we will need something different if we are to get a result I feel

[fidelcastro]

Brownhill in place of Laurent and we would be winning.

[CalamityClaret]

If it's a foul yes

Probably not now I've stopped shouting

[Tricky Trevor]

Was never getting that ball. No pen

The defender obviously didn’t know that or he wouldn’t have shoved him and all that is irrelevant as the ball was live.

[burnley007]

We look ok, pretty passing, but this team doesn't look like it has goals in it unfortunately.

Thats the hardest part of being in this league.

We don't have a goalscorer on the pitch.

[IanMcL]

Parker not wearing his green top! Mistake!

[Roosterbooster]

So if a player is pushed over in the area, but the ball is at the other end of the pitch, you’d want a penalty?

I would. Because they are the laws of the game

When referees, fans, players, VAR... start asking for referees to ignore the laws of the games, then we might as well just give up

[CaptJohn]

Great to know you can shove players over in the box if they don’t have the ball.

It's a new rule, that Oliver and VAR have just invented but it only applies to Burnley players.

[Buxtonclaret]

Watching the Bein Stream and they seem almost resentful Spurs aren't stuffing us.
Resentful that we've had more shots ,...
Sickening.

[IanMcL]

At least Son hasn't had a sniff!

[CryerBFC]

JBL for Sonne for me.

Hannibal to sit in that RWB position and JBL get closer to foster

[JimmyRobbo]

A bit of a panic all coming from a slightly lazy pass out from Josh L.

[billyhamilton82]

For anyone not able to watch the game and feeling really bad that we didn't get awarded a penalty based on many of the observations on here. Please don't feel bad it was nowhere even close to a penalty. Simply passion and I'm not knocking that.

That being said, it would be interesting to know the decison if it was in the opposite penalty area and a Spurs player going to ground.

Not sure it would have been so cut and dried.

[IanMcL]

Totteringham head over from corner.

[1914tyrone]

Please sub Laurent

[IanMcL]

Hartman is quick and strong. Impressive

[IPAclaret]

It's nothing new is it? Still very annoying though.

[IanMcL]

Ekdal strong

[JimmyRobbo]

Ekdal did well there.

He's a nice player.

[Casper2]

Get Laurent off FFS

[ArmchairDetective]

Laurent with a couple of mistakes early in this second half. Needs to be a bit sharper than he has been at this level.

[IanMcL]

Richarlason the new Son!

[CryerBFC]

Great save

[Commy]

Was that Laurent that gave the ball away? I like him but his passing lets him down.

[JimmyRobbo]

Dubravka got a touch for the save.

[Procrastinate B]

Dubravka will prove to be a vital signing.

[gawthorpe_view]

Is Richarlison invisible to our defenders?
Appears out of nowhere.

[1914tyrone]

Laurent has to come off asap

[claretburns]

Brighton 1-0 Fulham

[Poulton-le-Claret]

It's a new rule, that Oliver and VAR have just invented but it only applies to Burnley players.

Shame because I was hoping Parker’s HT team talk would be instructing our defenders to shove over any spurs player not near the ball, just in case.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Laurent is struggling a touch so far second half. Slow in possession and has nearly cost us twice

[IanMcL]

FK us Foster breaks. Flag goes up.

[Tricky Trevor]

That was far too close to flag offside.

[CoolClaret]

Big Les and JBL on please.

[munkyennui]

Should have let that run

[Kgun5]

Great bloke who does a lot for local football and always has and has no airs or graces Sorry to disappoint you ---his dad is exactly the same and was also a League referee.

I guess I stand corrected.

It doesn't disappoint me, though. Good on him.

[Enola Gay]

Doesn't look like we haven't quite lost that habit of putting ourselves in trouble by giving the ball away in dangerous positions...

[IanMcL]

Cross well blocked by Sonne. Corner them

[wilks_bfc]

Tight call of offside for Foster

[Enola Gay]

SHOOT FFS!

[IanMcL]

Dubravka takes. Hannibal chance....far too skow

[JimmyRobbo]

Anthony's touch was sublime.

Unlucky, for us.

2 very good chances.

[Goalposts]

Just shoot Hannibal just shoot

[Murger]

What a chance.
