Highlights the corner decision. Bit not the throw in.
Big club bias?
Both decisions wrong. But different view on both

“That corner has cost them”
“What a fantastic thrownin from Rose”
Not shown the balls we played across the box twice - the horrid tackle at edge of their box (or the Bardsley tackle on Rose).
Didn’t show defenders trying to crop or pull back McNeil....or Spurs just constantly reverting to just trying to lump it.
Can’t be having the nation thinking Burnley actually played well against one of the top 6 can we.

Wasn't a red - he pulled out of the studs up tackle and caught him on the follow through, pulling the foot away saved. Bards however, should have had a red, straight at Rose's knee with the foot and remember Rose was up in the air, was late as well

The corner is mentioned at least 4 times and the throw in is ignored. Unreal.
Apparently we have someone called Woods who had a name change during the insightful analysis of Paul Ince. He then became as wooden as the analysis

It's really not worth watching.
For those who can't go to the games I recommend subscribing to BFC Clarets Player, watch the whole game without the bullshit of punditry.

I found it strange how MOTD highlighted the corner decision and virtually ignored everything else that mattered. It's almost like they were looking for excuses for Spurs losing. To be fair Keown was very complimentary about us, Lineker just sat there like the stuffed shirt he is.

I’ve just watched it and yes they’ve highlighted the corner that shouldn’t have been because Pochettino was having ago at the ref about it, but they’ve done nothing but praise us.
Seriously why do people think the worlds against us when they clearly aren’t?

The world isnt against us and even at the game i didnt get too worried about their goal because we had benefitted ten minutes earlier from one we shouldnt have .
More the point is the inconsistency in the media. Which can go against you. If the refs of next weeks game see spurs had a dubious goal against them it will be in the mind.
The reality is the throw for their goal was a good ten or so yards ahead of where it should have been. And it should have been highlighted.
Spurs were stealing ground all day. And it was only the noise from The stands that stopped all but that one. Dean pulled them back plenty of times. Shows how important the fans are. Because had we not theyd have got away with it more.

Spot on.
The entire focus of the "analysts" was to highlight how well we played, and to single out Wood, Barnes, Tarkowski and Mee for praise.
They had no option but to look at the "corner" because this was what caused Pochettino's "meltdown", but they didn't in any way suggest that it was a terrible decision that turned the game, in fact they were quite dismissive of it, and put Pochettino's reaction down to the pressure of losing a pivotal game.

When selected Lowton is one of the "best" at it.

The decision for the corner was an error, but it was nothing like Attwell's 'ghost goal' from a few years ago. People make mistakes. I remember being royally naffed off when Wolves scored from a corner that wasn't at Wembley back in 1988, but these things happen.

Come on mate, we’ve just beaten a top six side and you’re moaning that MOTD aren’t highlighting that a throw in was 10 yards ahead of where it should have been.

I have seen that corner decision several times now and I am far from certain what the correct decision was. I think the BBC were really biased by focusing on that and ignoring the throw in. Back to the corner, it may have hit Hendrick last but if it did then Hendrick's leg was over the bye line at the time but it is impossible to know. Is there an unwritten rule of if in doubt favour the defence? If so should have been a GK.

If they had just highlighted the cheating in the throw or have not cut Sean’s interview when he brought it up then it would have been fairer
But BBC don’t do fair
Thought Ince analysis should have included they way we pressurised them for 94 minutes

Do you mean 'MOTD' ?
Wright wasn't on there.
Paul Ince was on there.
Who is 'monkey man' ?
Is that a reference to Martin Keown?
Personally I find that an unacceptable term to use about someone.
Other than that..great post.

I mean they didn't show Bardsley's yellow either which on another day could maybe have seen red too. I think you're overthinking it.

Absolutely. If you cant beat them join them. My point was that was it the other way round it would have been highlighted had we scored. Dyche was fuming at the time. Thankfuly we won.
Barnes did another pathetic dive yesterday. But again cant beat them join them. Doesnt mean it shouldnt be highlighted either way.

Two things I'd like to mention....
Foyth should have been booked early doors for pulling back one of our players.I thought that this was a mandatory booking these days.He should therefore have been sent off IMO for the 2nd offence regardless of whether it should have been red or yellow.
For the Kane goal,he should be given credit for his intelligence to get in position as he anticipated the throw-in going beyond our defenders.Tarks switched off and should have been goal side.

It's not that "no one likes us"....Some are just bewitched, bothered and bewildered about our style...We're a team playing with two up front and although we can play some fancy sideway football if necessary, we want the ball to go forward because that's where the goal is!

The commentator actually described it as a great throw in from Rose. To be fair though I think Lineker et al didn’t do too much of a bad job discussing the game. They only highlighted the corner decision because of Pochetinos outburst I think. They credited us with some highlights and were especially full of praise for Mee. I personally thought they were okay in their analysis.

I hate MoTD. They boil every match down to the bare minimum. It was a cracking match and ended up as about 8 incidents shown repeatedly from every possible angle plus crowd and bench shots. As has been mentioned above there were so many other talking points from this game. This was a weekend of 4 PL matches.
The Sky extended showing kicks it in the gonads.

Good idea in theory, but I guess it would prevent any quick throws and slow things down even more. But I'm not really sure it's practical in any case.
Don't forget that the linesman only covers half of the touchline and even then the ball doesn't necessarily go out of play near him, and he needs to remain in position to check for offsides etc., so either the referee would have to go all the way across to the touchline each time or we would need at least 2 more officials to cover the full length of the touchline.

We were first on MOTD but it was only about 7 minutes of actual game footage. Seemed very quick, especially given how there wasn't many matches played on Saturday. You'd think there'd be more room to put a few more chances and incidents on.

They could have scrubbed the corner controversy by mentioning the one oin the first half that should have been a Burnley corner and was given as a Spurs goal kick. They could point out that Spurs should have had to defend 7 corners, they actually had to defend 7 corners, and the fact that the one they didn't defend was the one that should have been given half an hour earlier, is their problem not the ref's.

Spurs would have never scored if the 4th official hadn`t thrown the ball straight back to rose, when I saw it at the game, I presumed it was one of the Spurs bench who threw the ball back at breakneck speed before it had even hit the ground (Surely an illegal FA rule?}
