THE SUPER CLARETS vs The Black Cats ~ Match Thread

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:07 pm

So who decided not to pick up their biggest man who is the most dangerous from set pieces? Seems a strange strategy.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:07 pm

We've just got to be better than that at the back.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:07 pm

Worrying. Need a good start, come on Burnley.

Awful defending.

Shaggy · Post by **Shaggy** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:08 pm

That free kick was because Fosters sloppy pass got intercepted.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:08 pm

Ballard injured and going off.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:11 pm

I don't wish anyone injury on anyone. Not unhappy he's gone off though.

Early days, but Sunderland appear to be sitting quite deep. We'll perhaps need Edwards second half if we can't break through

Yes, they appear to have pace with their 2 wide men so we'll have to watch out for it. A decent start except for the easy chance we offered up.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:16 pm

Come on, Burnley!

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:16 pm

Phew...
Down to Kyle that.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:17 pm

Lucky there.
Brentford beating Villa.

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:17 pm

Pretty good start, but finishing and avoiding defensive calamities are our weak spots, and we haven't done either yet today.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:18 pm

Nice ball after we appeared to recover from the Walker mistake.

We seem to have started well, played some nice stuff and got into their box but, in truth, we could easily be 2 down.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:19 pm

Get in

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:19 pm

Good for Lyle.

FOSTERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:20 pm

Nice finish but I suspect VAR will overturn it.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:20 pm

Here we go .......... bloody VAR

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:20 pm

Our first goal back and its VARed.

Ruled out by the ref

Absolutely awful.

Joker of a ref

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:21 pm

That was not deliberate just a clash of legs

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:21 pm

Ruled out for foul but good to see Lyle put one away sharply.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:21 pm

Wow!

No way VAR overturn that if it is one of the big clubs. Who is on VAR?

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:21 pm

Sounds dubious according to Sky.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:22 pm

VAR couldn't get involved.

ollieclarets8 · Post by **ollieclarets8** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:22 pm

Nothing close to a foul.

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:22 pm

Radio 5 commentary saying it was a soft decision on the ruled out goal.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:23 pm

Hannibal did nothing wrong standing his ground. Why was he warned?

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:23 pm

Ref definitely not a homer

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:23 pm

Through my Claret and Blue glasses there was nothing to see other than a good goal for Forster

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:23 pm

No way that’s a foul. The defender only went down because he was off balance and foster was fighting for the ball. So soft

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:23 pm

Should have been a goal and to the letter of the law they should have had a red then too..

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:23 pm

Mike Dean and Boyd both said a foul, both then said it was soft as muck, and if the that on the pitch hadn't ruled a foul VAR wouldn't have overturned a goal. How long do we have to put up with incompetent and biased referees. The history of this clown should go before him.

Foul, apparently, but I reckon LF was simply stronger.
Not a foul for me.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:24 pm

We know which defender to attack now.

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:24 pm

All this petulant sh!t that's going on atm is down to a sh!t and weak ref!

ollieclarets8 · Post by **ollieclarets8** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:24 pm

All I ask for is neutral officials. We can't even get that.

Pearcey · Post by **Pearcey** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:24 pm

Who’s the Scottish commentator. Getting on my tits. Proper biased.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:26 pm

Christ, Ekdal gives me anxiety every time he touches the ball. Just not good enough for this level.

Cazaris · Post by **Cazaris** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:28 pm

We look like we're alergic to passing the each other at the moment

ChrisG · Post by **ChrisG** » Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:28 pm

Is it me, or is the camera angle all weird? It looks like it's on a fish eye lens and the edges of the screen are curving upwards. You notice it when you look at the touchline and the advertising boards in the Bob Lord
