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

[Matnab]

Players tend to come across as fairly likeable in post match interviews. What a charmless pair of cretins those two were.

 

[Hulkster]

To be fair I’m not sure who else would take them. If Rigg was on the pitch for me he takes them. Roberts recently missed a huge one.

We don’t have a lot of goal scoring talent in the team sadly.

[SAFCBlandy]

Who cares about the balls? Give the ball to somebody who has a clue how to take a penalty in one of the biggest games of the season.

Was anyone else offering to step up like?

 

[SteveFTM]

They had the better chances if you listen to these bellends in interview at the end.

Must have been watching another game

 

[Gaz]

More than a match for them, should have won but taken 4 points off them and have nothing to fear from any of the top teams

 

[redflagflyinghigh]

Tremendous. Wasted out wide. Will cause absolute havoc if we get him through the middle.

First half they put balls over the midfield enough to make him much less relevant and play a game against our substandard defence

 

[Chop Sauce]

f***ing sick

Go support the mags then

great response.

 

[Hucknalls Fluffer]

Trafford is one ugly bugger mind

looks like he should be sat in the back of a scrap wagon smoking a roll up

 

[Ale taster]

Can't fault the performance or the result tonight, well done lads.

My only criticism is that Isidor should never have been allowed to take the second. I get that he wanted to put things right, but it should never has been his decision.
He's a great asset to the team, but tonight needs looking into.

What did the Captain have to say about this?
Where was the input?
There was none obviously.

 

[Major____DeCoverley]

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

Do you reckon.

 

[Andyman]

Just hope that doesn’t blow the lads confidence, we’re going to need him for the run in.

Great response from the away fans.

 

[Gloucester]

What the fuck was he taking that penalty for? Thrown it away, f***ing stupid as fuck

When we beat Burnley 3-2 the night of the Carlos Edwards wonder goal David Connelly missed his first penalty then stuck a second one in.

His shooting may be erratic but I would stick with Wilson up front. Maybe not on future penalties though.

 

[Baz]

If he's the allocated penalty taker do you instantly take it off him for missing one?

You should at least consider it.

 

[Sarcoid Kid]

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

I do believe you are right

 

[mackem1989]

Glad the fans at the game are better than the "fans" on here slagging isidor off. Lads been class all season.

Shouldn’t have taken the second like, but no one wants to step up he will come again. It is what it is Burnley keeper should have been off for delaying 2x kicks refs just scared to actually use the laws of the game.

 

[bernardbresslaw]

Pathetic. If I was them I would be worried about the freakish amount of goalless draws they’ve had at home. That screams 3rd or 4th, not 1st or 2nd.

Took 4 points of them, which is nice.

 

[Yeltas]

They had the better chances if you listen to these bellends in interview at the end.

The keeper is a real prick

 

[ftm1971]

Plenty twists and turns to come yet, this little group of 4 will mess up now and again, but I really hope this squad take us up, not that plenty of wankers on here would deserve it, absolutey shameful at times

 

[Matnab]

He had the bottle to take the second one mind.

Aye he missed.

But he stood up.

Second one wasn't even a bad pen.

 

[Pickle Rick]

Embarrassing that match thread after Wilson missed the second penalty. Yes they were shit, but the lad had the balls to take the second to try and correct the first.

Lad looks genuinely gutted but there's far too many people in the match thread gone WAY over the top to chastise and berate the lad.

Can we get behind our players like? Emotions are clearly high after that but the way some gan on. f***ing hell, hang your heads embarrassing.

Get behind the lads! Youngest, most talented squad we've maybe ever had. Ha'way man!
