*~*~* Burnley v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Arfa Sleep]

I wasnt sure before the game tonight, but I’m now actually very confident we finish top two.

Have seen Sheff Utd and Burnley now on their own pitches, as well as ours, and they’re both bang average at best. If you were being kind, you’d say they were both “organised” or “functional”, but nothing more.

Leeds are the best side I’ve seen, but we haven’t played another top team yet this year and we’re now 27 games in.

How do Sunderland manage to ruin my weekend before it's really began... with a draw away to Burnley as well... would have taken your hands off for that all week but now it feels like a bad loss. Drinking myself to sleep tonight thanks to Wilson.

Scotty seen it on his laptop but hasn't seen it????

The second penalty is decent for me. Hard and low, a lot better height than the first.

However, you need to disguise which way you're going and he didn't with either penalty.

not looking for a row but that's fairly contradictory... the keeper had just saved a penalty in that exact same spot. i was screaming for isador to go the other way. if he'd saved that then fair enough. although slightly better than the first it was a woeful penalty in the circumstances.

 

[Nelson!]

How many strikers have missed two penalties to win a game in the last 10 minutes against their league rivals? Can’t be many.

The lad is a human being and these sorts of things will be going through his head. Gutted for him, just like all of us on here, but that’s something else.

He’ll be fine. We didn’t lose. There’s 57 points still to play for.

He was nearly at the corner flag by the time Isidor struck it.

Horrendous penalty technique really.

A proper striker rolls that into other corner and laughs at keeper

 

[FatDrummer]

Well done Scott Parker for admitting that the 2nd one WAS a penalty.

 

[Northern Munkey]

Me anarl mate, but when you see posters saying shit like send Wilson packing the 'self centred egotistical little prick' is well beyond the pale like

Yeah that’s a ridiculous comment.

Fair to say the blood is up a bit at the minute mind so maybe a pinch of salt to be taken.

 

[dicccas]

Latte Lath scores both of them

Who does he play for?

 

[nelford_safc]

You have to admire Isidors balls to take a second penalty but let’s he honest here; he missed the first purely because the keeper got into his head. He shouldn’t have took the second one purely because the keeper was in his head.

 

[tunstall birdman]

What, imaginary?

I could only imagine what could have been. Just like we could have been top, I could have been on top of that fine maiden.

 

[SteveFTM]

If we'd scored those penalties we would have won.

Embarrassing stuff from a supposed adult

And reported. A ban will do you good. And the forum

How are you going to cope when this place is no more if you feel that strongly about it?

Might be time to put a contingency in place Marra you clearly feel very strongly about the place

 

[Helmerroids]

Scotty surprisingly magnanimous, fair play to him

 

[North of the Smoke]

We made favourites look ordinary. Some great play, the new lad is class, fair play to Wilson for stepping up.

Huge disappointment not to win, but plenty positives. Get a goalscorer and we are top 2. HTL

Lining the same player that just missed a penalty for a 2nd penalty in the same match just seems nonsensical to me.
His head is going to be all over the place.
It makes no sense at all.

Tricky situation. I've just mentioned David Connolly missing one but then scoring the next in the same game, lots of pressure.

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

I’m raging at that, BUT on that showing I’m confident we can get top two. Got to find a way of playing Wilson & Mayender up top and the Frenchie thru the middle. Alternate Rigg, Neil and Jobe to keep them fresh.

Unfortunately we lack a ruthless streak.

Agree with that
