I’m sure some our our fans are disappointed... 

Can I mark you down as early contender for understatement of the year! 😂

Disappointment is when a bird craps on your head. 

Your lot are acting like someone's kidnapped their first born.

No. A nobody. Only had a handful of posts.

Just come on to troll.

Tbh I wasn't that fussed either way with the allocation decision. 

But now I've seen how angry it's made them, it's really grown on me.

My favourite part so far is them thinking a couple hundred grand tickets sales will somehow have a massive impact on the 200+ million hole we live in.

Like the bloke that's just lost 10's of thousands at the casino gives a shit whether you buy him a Stella Artois or not. 

The millions we've lost on Rothwell, Lenihan, and Diaz and their sofa change is gonna be the difference like they're handing out magic beans or something.

played there Morton

Crunching tackle. Very out of character.

If Gallagher scores the winner I'll build him a statue 

No deal.

Instead I want you to become a human Gally statue on a plinth.

We'll need a miracle to win this

Let's go for a double miracle- Rovers to win and you not to call Gally a useless twat the whole 2nd half. 🤞

The lad stuck his arm out and it stopped the ball going into the back of the net. I don’t know what it is he’s not getting about that. 

There's literal silhouettes in the rulebook/guidebook to show arm position and what is and isn't a penalty. 

Ally could do with giving it a read.

As you say, if he wasn’t already on a yellow, he was getting one then. He should be off - we’d be counting our lucky starts if that was the other way round.

We'd be counting one less person on the pitch.

Thankfully if we go up we will only have to play them twice.

Behave yourself.

What else is there to talk about regarding Burnley other than the football ? 

Probably best you don't know TS. Wish I didn't. 

FYI All non-football related Burnley chat has been moved to the News Thread in WDWY.

Morton played well for me. He's the player who's asked to be brave and make something happen. 

Tbf I had a bit of a moment tonight.

When he chipped that awful ball into the keeper's hands. 

Just looked a mile off. But then I'm thinking 25% off that pass and it could be a pearler.🤔

And I moan about the constant sideways and backwards cycle- "Just give it crack going forwards, even if only 50% come off, it's better than this crap!"

So I can see what you're saying.

Just frustrating as fans watching him go through the process in such an important season. Through the development he's making the mistakes with us. And we're all tense as hell!

We're not a quick team - I'd say only Thomas is genuinely quick. Gallagher is surprisingly quick for his size I guess. I'd fancy myself in a footrace against JRC and Pickering.

Fair points, I think it was more that it felt like most of their team was busting us for pace.

Normally you play a team and you know 2 or 3 will be burning you up.

But it was happening all over the pitch, and with such frequency. 

I'm going to stay optimistic and chalk it up to a bad night. 

It's odd though. Szmodics was fairly ripping Leicester to shreds, but looked so sluggish tonight.

Eeem.. phew. 
 

Not a massive amount to say about that that you won’t already know, I’ll not rub anything in.. the Chilean Stokie finally scores against his boyhood club at least…

thanks for having me, best of luck going for promotion, see you next time.

Are your lot always so pacey?

Several times all over the pitch we had metres of head starts, and your players just galloped past them regardless. 

I.e. Is that a strength you've noticed all season, or did our players have lead in their boots?

...as opposed to our customary 0-1 home reversals to teams that score early then sit in two banks and waste time for 78 minutes.

If we score in the first 15 mins I'd stop watching then.

Think we've had a player booked for time wasting in the 1st half this season. 😂

If not that, it was very early in the 2nd.

He's such a poor pundit IMO. He has zero knowledge outside of British football too; some of his world cup takes on the likes of Messi and Di Maria were just laughable.

Don't mind him as a pundit tbh. Speaks his mind and not afraid to take the flack for it. Wish more had the balls to do that. 

But he's lost the plot here. We all know he can be a little blinkered when it comes to Man Utd, (i.e. his support for Solskjaer when it was blatantly obvious he needed to go), but to chicken out and not face the music tonight is a real low. 

He's gone down massively in my estimation. 

Looks like Gary has backed out of MNF tonight. Very poor if true. If your job is dishing out the criticism on a regular basis, you can't run and hide when it's time to take your medicine. Genuinely think he'll struggle to live this down. Particularly after the roasting he got from Souness yesterday.

By heck I can tell you lot have won a few games.

Hmmm, do you have a theory that some fans become insufferabley cocky when their team wins a lot of matches? 

Interesting. If only we could think of a recent case study to prove this hypothesis correct. 🤔

Nope, nothing's springing to mind. 

Absolute shithouses the lot of them. Hope they fall out the top 2 and don't go up.

Well done our lads for dealing with it excellently, in all areas of the pitch.

Absolute peak of season this, we've hit form at the right time, and I have hope for both competitions we're in. 

That's a straight red on it's own, never mind a yellow. 🤬🤬

Got to sign  thomas permanently 

That tracking back was immense for an attacking winger.

Great effort. 👏👏

Massive half this.

Can guarantee the ref will give us nothing too.We've painted a picture in his head with too many dives.

Will have to be a real clattering to get a decision. 

Ruthlessly clinical. 

Get in!

Does Vale know how to sprint?

So lazy when you're only on for 10 mins.

Vardy been getting shooting training from Hedges.

Time to see if this lot can change the script. 

Turn the page here, it could stand us in great stead to break the playoffs.
