@ParkersCardigan @turfmoorhouse That’s it, that’s the kit of dreams 🫶🏻 @claretbod

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

0 - Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal is the first player on record since 1966 to play the first 30 minutes of a FIFA World Cup match without touching the ball once.

Peripheral.

@JacobHorsfall_ We’ve just said the same. The penalty being given is what it is but to stop twice and the ref and VAR allowing it is a joke

@malbongolf ❤️

@HLTCO There should be no VAR in the FA Cup. It’s not fair on the majority of teams who play week in week out without it.

@nmclean77 @AlanPaceBFC @BurnleyOfficial Me 🙋‍♀️ I just don’t see what sacking SP at this stage does for us. The problems are deeper than SP. I’d argue we need a new set piece coach 1st & a strategy to regroup 26/27.
This season disappointed as SUFC were more astute than us in the market. We need to do better

[toni coates 💜💙 @topcatcoates]

@theclaretstrust I’m sick & tired of this. Longest walk from town 2 the biggest stand (JHU) with the removal of the cricket club ginnel. Raise prices but try 2 con us by saying we’re helping youngsters. What about longstanding fans & ST holders? No early bird. Can’t even seat swap now in person.

[toni coates 💜💙 @topcatcoates]

@liselou145 @EFL That’s a much better idea! 👍

[toni coates 💜💙 @topcatcoates]

@Joe__Monty @EFL But they finished 6th. No one minds that, they earned it but not 7th and 8th FGS. That’s practically a third of the league. Ridiculous.

[toni coates 💜💙 @topcatcoates]

@EFL This is poor. There’s nothing wrong with the current system why do we keep going down this Americanised route of looking for jeopardy. Top 2 deserve ⬆️ , 3rd-6th deserve to battle it out for the last spot. 7th & 8th don’t deserve to be in the mix. They’re just not good enough 🤷‍♀️

[toni coates 💜💙 @topcatcoates]

@TurfCastPodcast For the majority of the fan base this isn’t great. U21 discount being paid for out of 22+ & by increasing pension age reduction to 66+ No early bird, no seat swap window (renew your ST, fill in the online form & hope someone contacts u 2 discuss your “options” it’s disheartening

[toni coates 💜💙 @topcatcoates]

@HACKETTREF At last! Someone other than us fans gets it! Book them, there will be short term pain at first but the players/coaches will quickly understand and this nonsense will be pulled back.

@FA_PGMOL @HACKETTREF

[KEITH HACKETT @HACKETTREF]

These Referees need improved coaching and leadership. The PGMOL standards have declined and it is a Management- Coaching problem

[Rory Talks Football @Rory_Talks_Ball]

5 minute VAR check to rule out a 98th minute 4-4 equaliser for an inconclusive handball 👏

This is what we all signed up for right?

[KEITH HACKETT @HACKETTREF]

Henry I applaud what you are saying. It is so clear to us that are passionate about the game.
The standard of officiating and delivery of decisions is not good enough.
The semi-automated offside system is not that accurate to rule out the Burnley goal. Too forensic. £40million!!

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

The biggest time-wasters in football now are not the players but some of the officials implementing VAR. Turf Moor confirmed that. Almost three minutes to decide that Anthony was offside. Right decision but a nonsense it took so long to establish. Sort out semi-automated. Almost five minutes to decide that Barnes had handled. Not even sure it was the right decision anyway.

The unacceptable, unconscionable amount of time taken damages the game and alienates the fans, without whom there is no game. PGMO has to improve. It claims it is speeding up decision-making and then delivers this desecration of a great football game between Burnley and Brentford with delays.

PGMO use of the technology has to be better. And quicker. VAR is here to stay - IFAB underlined that in Cardiff on Saturday - so let’s make it work for the game of football not against. Improve standard of officiating - on-field and at Stockley Park. Invest even more in developing good officials. Speed up the process - and if that means a time limit on decisions then do it.

Don’t chase perfection; just prevent injustice. PGMO has forgotten Clear and Obvious only. PGMO has forgotten the game is about passionate match-goers not pedantic, slow-moving law-enforcers. #BURBRE

[toni coates 💜💙 @topcatcoates]

Have your say, it’s not just this weekends game that’s tipped me over the edge. It’s a long standing frustration as a fan that VAR and its technical refereeing approach has lost its way and this is the best way to have our say.

[The FSA @WeAreTheFSA]

Another day where VAR dominates - PL fans can fill in our consultation on it here: https://t.co/9uGBIgtTLD

[Ian Darke @IanDarke]

On field decision as Ashley Barnes scores to give Burnley 4-4 draw - goal. It looked like he used a hand but the pix offered no definite proof. Hence VAR took 5 mins to decide. So without that proof , they changed the on-field decision. Not how it’s supposed to work , is it ?

[Adrian Durham @TheAdrianDurham]

Stop forcing this level of VAR on us. Offside decisions so tight nobody trusts the tech. You've had years to get it right & failed. Strip it back or bin it off. The game is now about VAR, officials, on-field announcements & Howard Webb's TV show when it should be about football

[toni coates 💜💙 @topcatcoates]

@MichelleDewbs The real problem here is schools not supporting pupils with deemed behavioural issues that they themselves create with divisive leadership. They get them out of m/stream into PRU & then they’re forgotten. Lost to the m/stream & dumped at 16. No support, help,growth,opportunities.
