The Super Clarets vs Preston Match Thread

[TsarBomba]

1. He's playing left midfield.
2. He played well vs Oxford
3. He played well vs Hull

Give him a break.

He’s been given a break for 2 years, for various reasons.

It’s really very simple- he’s not good enough to be holding down a starting spot.

It's really very simple. We should have been 5-0 up vs Oxford and battered Hull.

We keep the same 11.

[BurnleyFC]

Hmmm.

Set piece coach earning his corn

You're perilously close to an epiphany.

[ISpeds00]

Racist remark for sure there

[Burnley Ace]

What did “The Biter” say?

[CoolClaret]

What did “The Biter” say?

"Carthage belongs to the Romans"

In all seriousness, looks like a potentially racist/highly inflammatory comment.

[NickBFC]

Osmajic is a dirty thug. Lucky boy if that's what it appears...

[1968claret]

Clearly and credit to Hannibal for reacting in the proper manner.hope he can now keep his cool.

[rexe78202]

You're perilously close to an epiphany.

Says the guy who would change a winning team. I'm right. You are wrong.

Bring Foster off? Sure. But you want to ALWAYS change a winning team. Because you know NOTHING about football.

[RalphCoatesComb]

Racist comment

Who by? Someone in the crowd or Osmajic?

[rexe78202]

By a player sounds like.

[BurnleyFC]

He’s a proper **** is that Preston thug.

[Cazaris]

I'm worried for Hannibal here, he could lose his head if Osmajic comes near him now since nothing has been done. They'll no doubt investigate this later but I hope Hannibal can keep his cool and just let his football do the retaliating.

[NickBFC]

Feels like we need changes sooner than later. Game is here to be won.

[AfloatinClaret]

From TV I thought Osmajic might have spat at Hannibal

[rexe78202]

Reckon so. And that was nothing close to a freekick.

absolutely manic.

Youre responding to the wrong poster you utter buffoon.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Notes taken by the 4th official, another ban could be incoming for their biting, racist numpty

[rexe78202]

Yeah changes needed. We can win this.

[Bosscat]

Osmajic said something in Hannibals ear and Hannibal took immediate offence but didn't react to the player but did the right thing complaining 1st to the ref then to Scott Parker ... I would imagine TV footage will be looked at by lip readers to determine

[Colburn_Claret]

If we don't make changes now, what is the point of subs.

[Acting Claret]

If one of cameras can pick up the exchange enough for a lip reader then, depending on what was said, could be nothing or career ending.

[Sgt. Pepper]

I think it's well established Osmotic is a tw@t, and Heckinbottom's teams are usually deeply unpleasant.

[Lu-tze]

I’d take Hannibal off, shouldn’t have to obviously but if he has been racially abused his emotions are gonna be all over the place and we know how short his fuse is at the best of times.
Especially seeing as we have brownhill back.

[criminalclaret]

Final third ball or finish absolutely abysmal today.

(bar Flemming as the lad has basically not had a sniff and when he has the opportunity he's selfishly given it to another player)

Subs needed now Scott!

[DCWat]

Might be difficult if he’s got his face in his ear

[Woonderbah]

From TV I thought Osmajic might have spat at Hannibal

He said something close to the back of Hannibal's head and he made sure he wasn't in the referee's eye line.. a lip reader would be able to see what exactly he said

[JimmyRobbo]

Yes, you could see him walk behind HM and snarl something in his ear. No idea what it was but I'm sure the TV camera view will give lip readers ample chance to review.

[rexe78202]

Edwards and Brownhill look to be coming on.

[daveisaclaret]

We should be off if it was a racist comment.

He actually dealt with it really well. Very pleased with how he decided to react, to whatever it was, good signs.

[Casper2]

Looked like Osmajic

[Bosscat]

If I could see the preston thugs lips moving then a lip reader could.

[JimmyRobbo]

Not sure I can see a goal in us.

Probably time for changes. Browny coming on. Against his old team (I thihnk).

[BigGaz]

I think it's fair to say now that we're around 70 mins that it's not been a good day at the office for Anthony or Foster. Parker clearly feels we lose some of our defensive acumen by removing Anthony but it doesn't seem like there's enough in the tank from either of them to go and win it for us.

[NickBFC]

Damn close Anthony

[tarkys_ears]

Oh Anthony!

[ElectroClaret]

Foster off, thank f**k.

[Casper2]

Got to get one on target

[rexe78202]

Another chance

[Croydon Claret]

Did brilliantly to create that chance and then released his inner Foster

[DCWat]

If I could see the preston thugs lips moving then a lip reader could.

Apologies - hadn’t seen a replay of it - assumed you’d meant he had his face to his ear when he said something.

[JimmyRobbo]

One of those days.

3 good chances gone begging.

Foster would have scored that. Maybe not.

[criminalclaret]

Anthony going for glory and blasting over instead of squaring it to Brownhill or crossing it back post.

Story of the day for him so far.

[rexe78202]

Frustrating game. One goal wins it but looking like 0-0

[ArmchairDetective]

We've made enough good chances to be one or two up by now. We need to take one of these.

[rexe78202]

He should have shot all day long. Can't blame him for that.
