Burnley v Newcastle - Match Day Thread

[Longsidebogs]

Why does Brownhill keep taking free kicks? He’s never been close with any so far.

[superdimitri]

Thought Gudmundsson deserved to take it.

[DCWat]

Mee is loving a good scream today!!

[clarethomer]

Wonder if Dyche is so smug about people's opinion on Vydra now he's scoring?

Most people know that you don't get long to prove yourself in our team, especially where there are other longstanding proven players wanting to start who have built trust in them.

It is also therefore no surprise that given the lack of pressure on the shirt and a bit of time to get consecutive games under the belt we are now seeing a partnership that is producing goals. We have seen other players come in and get better with more game time.

It has been clear to me, even when he wasn't playing regularly, that he added a different dimension to us. He creates space and opportunities and I'm really pleased and relieved that Wood and Vydra are now getting into a rhythm of scoring.

Don't see any need for calling others smug. They were simply saying what they saw and from what we saw up to recently is that he didn't produce as much as we would like.

[The Hung Juror]

Brownhill must be brilliant in training to keep getting the free kicks.

[taio]

Arguably player of the season

Certainly a contender...again.

[Burnley Ace]

McNeil nearly played him inside!!

[taio]

Great save

[superdimitri]

Shelvey is in a different class to the rest of their team. Perfect deep laying playmaker.

[tarkys_ears]

WHO is this absolute bell end of a commentator?

[taio]

If the penalty is given I'm not watching football again

[The Hung Juror]

I’m amazed that’s not a penalty’s.

[Clevedon Claret]

Ffft.

[Quickenthetempo]

Murphy their right back is having a decent game. Made a few recoveries from Dwight.

[Devils_Advocate]

Got to be a pen. Always a free kick anywhere elso on pitch

[MrTopTier]

Great save, super clearance.

[tarkys_ears]

Newcastle need to learn that you don't get any points for sticking your arms out like you're pretending to be a bird and running towards the ref

[taio]

I’m amazed that’s not a penalty’s.

Never ever, ever a penalty

[superdimitri]

Lucky us.

[Top Claret]

BPF is a good reader of the game

[Zlatan]

Never a pen, the one on Ben Mee earlier was more of a pen than that

[Devils_Advocate]

Never a pen, the one on Ben Mee earlier was more of a pen than that

Both pen's for me

[expoultryboy]

So who's marking who down the left ?

[Tall Paul]

Surely it would've been an indirect freekick anyway, not a pen.

[Zlatan]

Both pen's for me

The only argument is that it was dangerous, Tarkowski got the ball and it was high. But Geordie dropped his head into Tarks boot for me

[taio]

Got to be a pen. Always a free kick anywhere elso on pitch

I know you like to be contrary but laughable stance to take.

[fidelcastro]

Beglin really doesn’t like us, does he?

So funny when the penalty wasn't given, as he was willing it to be one!

[Lowbankclaret]

Players have obviously been told to scream and roll around.

If you cannot change it, join in.

[NewClaret]

What a waste. Please get Brownhill off free kicks.

Got to smash it low & hard there, hope it gets a deflection. Total waste, skying it like that.

[DCWat]

I’d have been ****** off if we’d not got a penalty for that. Tarkowski had to go for it but his foot was up at head height.

[Tall Paul]

The only argument is that it was dangerous, Tarkowski got the ball and it was high. But Geordie dropped his head into Tarks boot for me

And dangerous play is an indirect freekick, not direct and therefore not a pen in the area.

[KRBFC]

There wasn't much else Tarkowski could do, he had to try kick it and did.

[superdimitri]

Beglin really doesn’t like us, does he?

So funny when the penalty wasn't given, as he was willing it to be one!

Quite contrary. Often complimentary of us. Was saying earlier how he likes we play early crosses to our strikers.

[WazzaClaret]

Is it just because he mentioned it in his press conference or are we screaming more?

[tarkys_ears]

Argh close!

What a save!

[Buxtonclaret]

Both pen's for me

Leeds would have been given a pen had we been playing them.

[fidelcastro]

Quite contrary. Often complimentary of us. Was saying earlier how he likes we play early crosses to our strikers.

I think you need your ears testing.

[claretandy]

Lucky with the pen, Tarky got to the ball first which saved him.

[taio]

Brilliant Mee

[MrTopTier]

Beglin?

Hinchliffe on Sky.

Good end to the half.

[tarkys_ears]

Not lucky at all with the "pen"

If you aren't allowed to defend in your box you may as well get rid of defenders!

[Buxtonclaret]

Decent half. UTC

[superdimitri]

I think you need your ears testing.

I'd say the same for you. Already mentioned one good thing he said about us.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Decent first half, same again in the second please

[joey13]

Coyle on sky sports news

[fidelcastro]

I'd say the same for you. Already mentioned one good thing he said about us.

And how about the half a dozen derogatory things? He's a terrible commentator. Always was when he worked for Granada.

[taio]

Anybody who thinks it was a pen against Tarkowski is either a commentator or pundit wanting some more action, or someone who has never played football.

[Belgianclaret]

Ben Mee, blood and guts - what a warrior !

[jedi_master]

Westwood and Gudmundsson have stood out for me today, best JBG has played for a long while IMO. We look very strong all over the pitch with Vydra and Wood very, very threatening.

Great performance but they will get stronger with Wilson and ASM to come on. We need to keep the pressure on.

[Bcrollerz]

Hes cemented his place now
Jay wont start again
