Boro v Clarets Match Thread

[Kgun5]

Tella in and puts it wide.

[Croydon Claret]

Anyone with eyes on the game? How we looking? Good for our lead?

Playing well but so are Boro. It will be a miracle if it finishes 1-0

[tarkys_ears]

...joke of a decision!

Or non decision.

What's the lino doing? What's the REF doing?!?!

[Buxtonclaret]

Nearly two!

[Croydon Claret]

Expected Tella to score

[jos]

Unusual miss by Tella

[Burnley Ace]

Why does he have to go down for the foul to be given?

[Kgun5]

Wow, I thought Beyer went thru the man, there.

[RVclaret]

JBG has been superb so far. So clever.

[Greekclaret]

Tells had every right to go down there and if he did it would have been a red for the Boro defender. He stays on his feet and puts it wide but surely it’s still a foul? No?

[ElectroClaret]

Turning it on a bit now, come on you Clarets.

[Kgun5]

Why does he have to go down for the foul to be given?

Agree, but I assume advantage was played.

[tarkys_ears]

Thuggery unleashed by the underdogs now

[Longsider]

Come on yooooooooooooooooooooou Clarets

[Burnley Ace]

Agree, but I assume advantage was played.

Rather have them down to ten!!

[burnleymik]

Third time Zaroury has had a bit left on him. Ref needs to protect players here.

[Tricky Trevor]

We have been superb all season with our high press now Sunderland and Boro have high pressed us and we have struggled.

[AshevilleNCClaret]

Anyone with eyes on the game? How we looking? Good for our lead?

Looking okay. We've given away the ball like 4 times from the back, but Boro couldn't do anything. VAR would have ruled Barnes's goal offside, but it would have given Brownhill a penalty. Tella probably should have scored a few minutes ago.

[criminalclaret]

Agree, but I assume advantage was played.

Irrelevant if he went down or stayed up. Ref should have played advantage and come back regardless and given a red.

That was a uttererly mental decision by the ref

[Kgun5]

Rather have them down to ten!!

I hear you. Do refs have a mechanism to red card without a free kick?

[Burnley Ace]

I hear you. Do refs have a mechanism to red card without a free kick?

I’ve seen them book a player having let play go on.

[claretburns]

100% they can red card without giving a free kick or pen.

[spt_claret]

JBG has been superb so far. So clever.

I think he still will have a big part to play next season. He's got a combination of technique and intelligence that not many of our players have, and more pace than the likes of Cork. He's proven so adaptable this season, I could honestly see him still working in the centre midfield role in the PL as he's done it this season.

[Kgun5]

I’ve seen them book a player having let play go on.

In that case, I agree. The foul should have been punished. Tough to advantage away a red.

[claretburns]

Though in 30 mins this refereeing team have given an offside goal, failed to award a penalty and not given a red card.

Despite us winning the ref performance has been poor and so need a couple more goals here so any more poor decisions later in the game don't come back and bite us.

Many a time! That was a shocking decision

[Croydon Claret]

Tella having a great game so far

I assume the ref got wind of the missed offside and has been fluffing his lines since, trying to compensate.

[ksrclaret]

I think al dahkil is making the wrong decision on in possession too much for my liking tonight

[Kgun5]

Muric face plants the ball away.

[Murger]

Dakhil has been sloppy so far.

[tarkys_ears]

Muric failing at the basics as per

Absolute thug challenge on Tella just then

[BurnleyFC]

I thought this Middlesbrough team were supposed to be a good footballing side?

They’re a team full of dirty cloggers.

Give me strength

[tarkys_ears]

Sorry, you find being unable to collect a simple cross acceptable ?

[AshevilleNCClaret]

Give me strength

Muric's been fine. Boro's press has been tough and he's had to deal with the ball within the 6 yard box. He flapped at one cross but no harm came of it.

Good cast

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Come on Super Burnley

[ksrclaret]

What on earth sort of back pass was that then from Roberts

[burnleymik]

Sorry, you find being unable to collect a simple cross acceptable ?

Think most people also see just how many times he has picked the ball up under pressure and found a pass out of trouble for us every time. Very impressive. You just focus on the negatives though if that's what you want.

Yeah…Keeper missteps are obviously magnified, but **** happens.

[BabylonClaret]

Red card is for denying goal scoring opp which tech orally he didn't. Should have been at least a yellow though

[Clovius Boofus]

Dirty team.

[tarkys_ears]

I've focused on a lot of things in the game.

Sorry for pointing out the ones you seem to automatically disagree with seeing

[davideyresleftear]

Muric failing at the basics as per

We’ve got the best defence in the league as per. Most teams have conceded at least 20 more goals than us.

At this point you have a weird vendetta against him. So strange to dislike a player in your own team so much

[Longsider]

Get to half time. Tactical genius VK team talk. Come out and batter them.

[criminalclaret]

That's for a GK.

One on one against deepest defender and a deliberate foul occurs running towards goal is a red. If he was running towards the corner flag maybe not.
