Sorry but I've lost count of lucky decisions/moments in the last few weeks (not just from refs). Really not sure what McCarthy was doing. Ings getting injured doesn't count as unlucky either, that's just expected.
Have to be careful in the box second half, just in case the ref sees his cock up and gives a soft penalty to compensate. Also have to stop giving set piece opportunities around our box.
Burnley should have 9 on the pitch. Forget whether the dive was actually a dive, the Burnley reactions to both their yellows should have resulted in another yellow. First one, goes over and abuses the linesman with some really aggressive gestures. Second, clearly responds to the yellow by telling the ref to **** off. Now, a yellow for a hand clap but not a yellow for that? I am not 100% on that penalty / dive. He just seems to go into the wrong part of McCarthy. Seems as though he was looking for it. That said, it was probably a pen.
Here’s hoping Long scores the winner with his hand and the ref awards it. That would be worth staying up for motd for
And a penalty for a non-foul, outside of the box, sending off the wrong Burnley player and accidentally standing on Heaton's foot, breaking his toe, at the same time.
