Milutin Osmajić suspended

[ClaretTony]

Preston will have less bite tomorrow, Milutin Osmajić has received an eight match ban.

[Ric_C]

ouch

Good news for us though

[Spijed]

Does that mean Will Keane plays, and probably scores against us?

[ElectroClaret]

Thought it might be something like that.
Didnt Suarez get ten games when with Liverpool?

[DCWat]

What kind of idiot have you got to be to bite another player! Hopefully Preston dock him wages for all of his time out, on top of his £15000 fine and suspension.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

He should have been banned before the Watford game.

[gandhisflipflop]

Had I had been the Preston manager, I would have sacked him there and then, or at least told him that he would never play for Preston again under him.

[cockneyclaret]

Was the match ban for every tooth he sank in him?

[nil_desperandum]

He should have been banned before the Watford game.

Totally agree, though a Watford defeat was probably the better result for us.

[ClaretTony]

He's done just the opposite and said he would not be taking any action against the player.

That’s appalling and if I was a PNE fan I’d be embarrassed

[Longford Claret]

Ban totally justified, even if the bite was against Blackburn

[sjb]

Does that mean Will Keane plays, and probably scores against us?

I believe Keane is an injury doubt.

[FCBurnley]

Perfect scenario for us. Beck gets sent off Osmajic gets charged with biting but still plays and scores 2 against Watford. Then gets suspended and missis game against us. Win Win Win for The Clarets. Just need to win tomorrow.

[bfcjg]

Will PNE have an issue FILLING his position......Groan.

[claretonthecoast1882]

A blow for the Preston fans on the eve of their big day out.

Their fans whenever we play always come across as a smaller version of Blackburn, same infantile songs and an obsession about incest. Imagine wanting to be the same as a Blackburn fan.

I had a quick pop onto their forum before and you’re not wrong.

‘Team against the Inbreds’ was one of the top threads.

[Swizzlestick]

Away from the idiots online, they do have a lot more 'proper' fans than Rovers with an infinitely more realistic outlook. A lot of bitterness amongst them too though - I don't think they've quite got over Blackpool reaching the PL ahead of them.

Doesn't surprise me at all, we were coming back from a London game one season and there was a group of about 20 of them in a different carriage abusing some younger Burnley fans (especially a family of four on a table) apparently it was "banter" when some from the carriage we were in went and joined them.

[chekhov]

They’ll be quite literally toothless up front.

[bfcjg]

Double groan....

[chekhov]

Double groan....

I know it’s pretty bad but I just couldn’t resist.

[Bordeauxclaret]

That Riis who will probably come in is a decent player. I can see him getting a brace tomorrow.

[JohnDearyMe]

I know it’s pretty bad but I just couldn’t resist.

I thought there was a lot of wisdom in your post....

[Bosscat]

8 matches ... bloody hell ... Haven`t seen the incedent but wow must have been serious for that ... ahhh well hey ho never mind

[Swizzlestick]

He's apparently been shocking for them recently and is way out of form but heard it all before.

(couldn't think of a pun)

[IanMcL]

Ban totally justified, even if the bite was against Blackburn

Agreed. Long ban and medal from Burnley fans!

[FCBurnley]

So no bite up front for either team !!!

[Clovius Boofus]

What an absolute scummer.

We’ll see by two thirty tomorrow.

[Jasper64]

8 match ban for biting someone totally reasonable.
But he will probably need that time to recover from what strange diseases he could have caught from biting Rovers player.

[Casper2]

That’s appalling and if I was a PNE fan I’d be embarrassed

Isn’t that a given anyway

[Leisure]

I can see him getting a brace tomorrow.

And what are you basing that on? Especially seeing as no team, never mind an individual player, has scored 2 in a game against us this season!

[Bordeauxclaret]

FFS

[bobinho]

He should have been banned before the Watford game.

What you have failed to consider here is the ineffectiveness and weakness of those involved in the management of the EFL to deal with what was a straightforward offence. A simple enough mistake, easily done, worry not.

Missed the pun Leisure

[Juan Tanamera]

Someone on social media has disgracefully suggested what the uproar might have been had his victim been Paul Dickov.

[Hibsclaret]

Biting the rovers player has got to be worse than a bush tucker challenge. How many stars did he get for it?

[Ric_C]

Imagine being a PNE fan. 15 years ago we were always battling against each other.

Since then we have won the championship twice, qualified for Europe, won at Anfield, Old Trafford, the Emirates & Stamford Bridge.

All they have done in that time is finish between 7th-15th in the championship. In 15 years!
Add into the mix a relegation to league one.

Total mediocrity.

You can also replace PNE with Rovers in this

[Sozturf7]

Is that what I think it is!!! Brilliant if it is.

[Elizabeth]

Definitely newsworthy before our game tomorrow. He looked a jack in the box in their midweek win. The timing of this will definitely take the wind out of their sails.
Of course the work still has to be done but it’s advantage us I feel

Prefer to say that tomorrow at 3pm.

[Guller Bull]

I'll second that but that would make it 2.32.

[Tricky Trevor]

With it being a Venkys player I'm glad he only bit him.

If we can get three points tomorrow it will crown a fine week for the Clarets.

[Bosscat]

It would certainly cap it off nicely

[Bordeauxclaret]

If we win tomorrow Alan Pace will put a new plaque up outside the ground to commemorate it.

[Benson]

Denture you just love it.

[Jasper64]

Brushing away any attack and Chomping through their defence would crown off a fine week !
