*~*~* Burton v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Lord Alfred]

Full back over far side played him on easy.

Ripped off . Shit linesman.

Having watched the RR video I'm inclined to agree.

 

[Baz]

Rose coloured specs. The same people would say offside if it was against us. That's the passion of fans.

Definitely offside.

I didn't realise some members of the SMB were privy to an extra camera angle showing this. Please do share the replay....

 

[Moderate Power]

Screenshot it and stick it on here.

From that video he's offside. No excuse just needs to stand next to the bloke in front.

Geoff Hurst’s crucial second goal didn’t cross the line either but such is the nature of these things.

 

[Shack]

I had a couple of quid on Flanagan to score anytime as well (20/1). Only just realised it was him and not Stewart who scored the offside goal! FFS!

 

[ironman]

Burton will be up there with Jimmy at the helm

Will be ahead of us

 

[woodlebert]

I really don't get how you can say 'good to see' about anything that costs us points. Just want to be a know-it-all I suppose.

Btw I think it's offside as well

It’s just mad that people are being blinded by their support. Truth should win, always. The linesman made the right call

 

[forever changes]

Strayed miles offside but was back on when the ball was played. Wrong call but you cam see why he made it.

Yes he wanted to be Billy big Bollox in front of cheering fans

 

[Hugaogogo13]

Can't see how the linesman can see when the ball was played through the crowd of players but looks real marginally off. Oh well still feel more positive for the season ahead

 

[TDalt]

Agree, he’ll have them round and about the play offs.

No way of really knowing when Gooch releases the ball but this is my best guess going by video frames and unfortunately he is offside.

 

[Ohnonotagain]

More concerned about mcgeady. Very poor today and hasnt overly stood out this season. Missed the easiest chance of the game and gave the ball away softly to give them possession for their goal.

Johnny Smith from Burton is the obvious replacement.

He looked very dangerous.

 

[Hodgie1979]

Cant win them all and it wasnt pathetic

Im watching summat else then...

 

[waddy999]

Bit(lot) disappointed, could've won but onwards and upwards Lads!
Safe journey home lads & lasses....you were splendid!!!

 

[Alfies Hat]

Won't come up against a goalie playing a blinder every week. Would still like one or two more players in to complete the squad.

That’s not when ball was crossed

off just sadly played well though, lots of potential Neil impressed

 

[SAFC_Jack]

Felt like that Blackpool game when we were in the Premier League.

He and Gooch were wasteful but McGeady in particular contributed to a very good first half performance.

When do you think it was crossed? Before or after?

 

[Yeltas]

Sometimes you don't get what you deserve. Unfortunately we only have ourselves to blame by not taking the chances. This is what fucks up our seasons, by not beating the teams we probably should. We have to get out of this mentality. There is a lot of youth which is great to see, however I think experience let's them down at times, good to see the hunger and desire back though.

I thought the younger players actually performed better than the more experienced players
