They give red cards on the basis " could have" injured the opponent using subjective claims about recklessness and dangerousness or whatever . So I don't see the logic of sticking up for a player that's actually injured an opponent seriously. The position of the trail leg in that challenge is very reckless and dangerous when Elliot can't even see the challenge coming , he has no chance to try to avoid contact. When someone challenges the ball they have to consider both legs. The ball wasn't there to be won in that manner

Fair points. I can see both sides tbf but as it was done by the ref and not VAR it wouldn't surprise me if overturned.

Irrelevant really though.
 
Offside that time but Burnley are a complete shambles. Could be going down this season.

And with Tarkowski and Mee both out of contract, it might be a long time until they come back up. (Or alternatively, if they do survive this year, next year will be incredibly bleak.)
 
Still think they'll be okay. They'll grind out enough wins across the season.
 
F365 placed them in the transfer window winners section as they signed a bunch of players and didn’t lose anyone

Problem is Dyche seems like the type to not change his team unless forced. Meaning they will have had hardly any match time

They apparently have a deeper squad but i don’t know much about the quality of the reserves once you get past the two ex Saints.
 
Christ I hope they go down.

Dirtiest, most boring team ever

If ever there was a dictionary definition of “outstaying your welcome”.

And they get loads of slack due to having a long serving English manager who seems like an old school “Proper Football Man”
 
At the risk of puns, is Cornet playing for them yet?
No - didn’t even come off the bench . Which is kind of the point I was trying to make

They finally spent money by their standards and it isn’t even on a starter. Perhaps they assumed McNeil would leave for Everton. But Everton didn’t get any money in
