Thanks for the reply. I bloody hate teams that do it to us, so I am pleased we don't seem to do it to same degree ourselves.

So, after a thorough analysis based on the opinions of the good folk of NSC (and beyond) we can conclude that Mr. Dyche is full of shit.
Good. Thread closed.

The next thread on there http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=104&fid=297&sty=2&act=1&mid=2111608437 is on repetitive diving which also involves us, not being at the game i wouldn't know whether we dived or not but we were at it all night. Other comments are "Un-English" and most unpleasant team along with leeds, "won't be playing them next season". All pretty laughable if they balls it up, as in not getting automatic promotion and we all know going through the play-offs is a lottery

Ref was a homer, according to Johnny and Warren, who are usually only a little bit biased.
Plus we had OJ playing up front. You can hardly blame the referee for giving him nothing, after that outrageous trial decision a few years back.

He most certainly is.
The ref was ****ing shit.

A) we didn't park the bus BUT we did negate Vokes and Ings.
B) Burnley are the only team we end up chanting "cheats" at EVERY time we play them.

He was useless rather than biased though. He could have given some fouls when Leo was being challenged by their big centre halves, but equally Leo did make a meal of things at times, and was booked for arm waving and moaning rather than anything else.
Crap ref didn't disguise a pretty forgettable match, but a decent point away from home.

Sean Dyche was only saying what all managers say when they don't win...'they parked the bus'...'our player bought down their forward...I didn't see it happen,my view was blocked'....'Their defender upended our player who was through on goal...he should've been sent off for that...'
he has to tell the Home supporters an excuse why they didn't win...
You didn't win...get over it!

I saw no evidence that we parked the bus deliberately, nor did I see deliberate time-wasting. Spanish Dave did take forever to get to the side of the pitch when being subbed, but I put that down to him showing dissent to Oscar, which is no bad thing for a player to show when being subbed if he doesn't think he should be coming off. of course, in this case, Oscar was right to sub him.
We did however end up defending for long periods of the game. That was simply them having a strategy of pinging the ball about quickly and trying to get Vokes to lay it off for Ings.
So - park the bus? No. We went to try to win. They just did a pretty good job of ensuring that we had few opportunities to apply pressure. Could we have nicked it? Sure, but as Nathan correctly observed that would have been harsh on Burnley.
