[Football] Looks like gaming the head injury stoppage has become a thing

Dyche is a sickening hypocrite. He spends every interview complaining that his is the only team that plays by the rules and yet his team repeatedly uses every gaming tip in Mick McCarthy's playbook. At least Mick had the honesty to admit that he would do anything to win. Dyche has always been the type of bloke who wants to claim the moral high ground at the same time as employing and defending Joey Barton. Nothing more needs to be said about the man.

Suddenly loved in the football family, but Warnock is a cheat specialist too.

Expect to be very angry and frustrated on their visit.

Warnock tried it in a big way when Cardiff visited the Amex 2 years ago.

I've said it a thousand times - just allow the physio on and play on around him. 9 times out of 10 the player will jump up knowing he's weakening his own team by staying down.

We have. He's just got a three game ban!
Our manager needs to develop a nasty streak or get one of his coaches to get in the face of the 4th official like every club does. We get bullied on too many levels.

His colleagues were so concerned about him writhing in agony that all but the goalie went to the the halfway line to take on refreshments and listen to old gravel voice :moo:

If goalie is on halfway line, when "injured" player has snipers bullet cut out of parietal lobe, then it will take more time for him to get back to take kick. Simples. As taught by SD himself.

Totally agree. Football can learn from Rugby. Allow the physio on while the game is still in play. Getting ****ing annoying how wanky footballers can stop play whenever they like.

Expect nothing less from a Sean Dyche team. The man is an absolute scumbag.

But our Mr Nice will not call it out. He should be chucking insults at the ginger **** but wont

MoTD didn't show it, so having recorded the game on BT, I've just wound through and watched the first half McNeill incident. There was absolutely no contact at all with his head.

He faked it. Presumably to distract from the handball he had just committed. He grabbed his head, despite it being obvious that, if Duffy did connect with him it was half way down his back. It was, in effect a dive in the penalty area to gain an unfair advantage.

Given Dyche's professed zero tolerance for cheats and divers, no doubt he will drop and fine him now.

BT's footage also shows that Tarkowski quite deliberately elbowed Murray in the back of the head just before half time. Just as obvious as the one Florin got a three match ban for. Attwell's abject performance saw him give the foul, but fail to even caution him, let alone give the red that his action deserved. My understanding is that this will mean that it can't be reviewed. Dyche says that these things even themselves out, so we can look forward to three match turning refereeing decisions going incorrectly in our favour soon. I'm only willing to forgive and forget if at least one comes at Selhurst.

I think many in Burnley said the same thing. That must be the smallest prem away following of the season anywhere. Fair play to the 300 or so who made the trip.

No **** the racists. Plus it will be our tax money paying for their trip.

I was livid about that. Such a clear elbow.

VAR would have been very interesting had it been employed yesterday.

So many other controversial incidents that it did not get the coverage the pundits gave Andone’s and the BBC haven’t done a feature of it with slo mo video replays. It was just as bad a foul but nothing will come of it. We have been unfortunate enough to have two televised games on days when there were not many other matches and the pundits made a big thing about both of them. Hemed and Andone.

I doubt it will even get looked at.
