Let Maty Ryan know he was there earlydoors.

Proved far more of a handful for Dunk and Duffy than any Burnley player had up to that point.

With a player like Ashley Barnes in the side, you might go down ,but you'd always go down FIGHTING.

Total respect :bowdown:

(and good to see the Albion applause when he came on as sub)

:clap2:

I thought it fell quite clearly into the violent play category. He ran into him with the clear intention of taking Ryan out a good couple of seconds after Ryan had caught the ball. There was no intention to play the game, to play the ball etc. It was a red card. I thought the ref bottled it. But considering the ref’s performance, that’s no surprise as he was abysmal.

Still, from a neutral’s perspective, I imagine it was hilarious. Had it happened to De Gea or Pope, for example, I’d have laughed. I’d have still thought it was a red card though.

I actually thought the booking was harsh :shrug:

Didn't like him for a single second he was on, felt far more relaxed with Wood on!!!

Behaved like a complete wanker . Was a definite red card, violent conduct. Has always been the same, horrible, dirty , gobby *******.....which was of course acceptable when he played for us but not when against us!

Not so sure. In a big game like today I was a bit confused to see him getting a standing ovation from some. At the end of the day he still plays for the opposition :shrug:

I like him as a player, didn't clap during his warm-up or pitch entry but feel he would be an asset were he in our present set up.

This is accentuated by the apparent 'can't do any wrong' love affair some have with a few of our actual current personnel.

On to next week.........

Red???? Barely a yellow and 100% done to wind the North Stand up and show us he's nailed his colours to Burnley's mast now - as he should.

The referee was certainly odd today. I couldn't tell if Izqueirdo dived at the end from my lofty seat but to give nothing for such a dramatic fall seemed odd - it's either a foul or a dive and the ref gave neither. Got several 50/50s wrong (both ways). I thought our penalty was a little harsh, then he missed an all out elbow assault on Murray's throat in the box that should have been a pen and a red.

But back to Barnsy. We miss him. Criminally underrated when he was here.
