My girlfriend got soaked after the first goal and her hoodie was drenched through with beer for the rest of the trip so had to go without it for the rest of the trip, having only packed hand luggage. A bit of beer spraying upwards when you celebrate is normal but chucking a nearly full cup away...

I think I’d have been happy with the same line up but with a senior midfielder, just so the spine of the team had a bit more experience. At the same time, seeing as Duffy went off injured, maybe it was just as well we didn’t risk more.

Every time the Burnley number 23 fell over he awarded a foul, which encouraged him to fall over more and more often. Re the added time, when it was announced on the stadium announcement it was 16:47 on the board and he blew at 16:50. But he didn’t add any extra time for the Burnley goal, which...

From where I was I only saw them collide back to back, so it didn’t look bad. I didn’t boo however as I could see the clear force of the collision.

I jumped up in celebration, then saw the goalie on the floor and remembered VAR, so I just started pointing at the big screen like a gormless idiot. (Not that anything on the screen was helping). Exactly what football is about right, right?

So it doesn’t matter if the decisions are right or wrong as long as they are consistent? For me that’s too much of a trade off for the enjoyment lost.

It is completely sanitised and not dramatic. It’s like being told a joke then having to wait 2 minutes for someone else to tell you if it was funny or not before you laugh.

Interesting article today showing how VAR can’t be 100% accurate on tight offside calls. A player shown to be 2.4 cm offside and goal ruled out, when between frames he might have moved 14CM Not really relevant to Burn as he was further offside and not moving as fast, but hopefully a reminder...

It would be hilarious, and might make the decision makers take note.

I think we should all do a silent protest at the next match at the Amex. If we score no one celebrate at all until it’s completely confirmed that the VAR check is over.

I agree with the original poster. VAR will ruin football and this is before we get into the accuracy of the decisions. For me personally, one of the best feelings when attending a live football match is the jubilation of celebrating a goal. I’ve always tried to be cautious and look to the...

Did you even watch the game? We were at our most vulnerable the few times we attacked. Trying to attack them would have resulted in even more of a hiding.

I think it’s a case of Anthony being singled out as our danger-man and targeted by defenders/managers, he was regularly doubled up on last night, and in other games throughout the season. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Knockaert was doubled up on, yet Izquierdo, a relative unknown and...

Tommy Elphick has gone up to the edge of the Brighton penalty area in the 87th minute with the scores 0-0 He jumps to head a loose ball on but leads with his arms. It is unclear if he hand balled it or not, and whether the incident was inside or outside the Brighton penalty area. Pawson awards...
