v Burnley (a) - 31/08/2024

[Groundhog]

I'm glad we're getting stuck in - get into these soft bastards

[CambridgeRover]

Make some subs JE

Get these yellow cards off the pitch

[matt83]

The ref has lost total control of this. And he’s created this scenario through being a shit house. Playing not 12 but 13 if include the linesman. 

[booth]

Eustace if seething, he's obviously never managed a game where the officials are so heavily biased towards the home team.

The hairy Man Utd reject shouldn't be on the pitch.

Need to take Hedges off. On a yellow but also completely ineffectual. 

He's doing a lot of defensive work tbf

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

What ever happens now,  that first mins aside' We've shown a lot more than last year. 

[ItsRoverZ]

I want the new winger on a good bit pace needed

[NeilInBristol]

I'm not usually talking about the refs but seriously. This is shocking.

Hannibal escaping yet another yellow. Outrageous

Say it quietly, but Eustace is a better (Championship) manager than JDT. 

[davulsukur]

Baker on but where is he playing? Even Gestede and his mates didn't know.

4 3 2 with Ohashi and Dolan pressing as a 2.

[ItsRoverZ]

[Crozzy]

Good block hyam

It'll be 4-4-1. 

[Tom]

Feels sadly inevitable now 😞 

[WacoRover]

I’m seeing lots of fight from our defenders, stay with ‘em, lads

Squeaky bum time....no fingernails left

I can't say I've noticed too many players getting booked in the PL for waving an imaginary red so I wasn't aware it was an actual rule as such.

In that particular instance I really think a bit of common sense is required given he's already on a yellow. The Burnley player commits a cynical foul and gets off scott free. Gueye does nothing really wrong and ends up being sent off. Surely a severe ticking off and a "this is your last chance" type warning would have sufficed.

I'm going to sound like Exiled this week and say what with the disallowed goal the officials have Haa an absolute mare. I wouldn't bet against the ref sending another of ours off although having sent one off he might calm down a bit.

 

[Mars Rover]

Should be a 2nd yellow for Foster

[Exiled_Rover]

See that should be Foster's SECOND yellow card. 

[ItsRoverZ]

The later the goal the more this will sting..lucky team Burnley

I only raise the point (reasonably frequently) because we never get the rub of the green. We've mostly got a squad full of soft lads, but we're always refereed to the letter of the law when other teams clearly aren't. 

[Trinidad Rover]

We should have signed Germain. We are very short up top.
