Match Thread Burnley v. Sheffield United - 21st April 2025

Doesn't the ball have to be on the penalty spot any more???

It's not a spot, it's a circular line. All of the ball has to be over all of the line for it to be out.

It wasn't.

 

[SUFCinks]

In terms of footballing intelligence this team might be the most stupid to have ever played the game.

Absolutely thick as mince, the lot of them.

I hate to like this but so true. Its a sad state of affairs.

 

[Chris the Blade]

BBD is league one quality

 

[54yrblade]

Couldn't wait to give that

Nailed on penalty with stupid defending.

 

[Kev Gee]

Hannibals a snidey cunt isn't he....

 

[skegblade]

Not sure there has been many clearer penalties in the whole championship this season to be fair

Bang in front of ref ...pillock
Bet Robinson gets a red

 

[Fatlad666]

Enjoyed 1st half, score line doesn't reflex our performance. Keep going Superblades

Dumb and dumber at the back

True, but it was as straightforward an award as you'll ever see.

Seems a day of our daft mistakes.

 

[G.H. Lawrence]

I know. I'm just pissed off!

 

[JJ Sefton]

The defence hasn't finished costing us.

Spot on. Gotta learn discipline. Great to show "pashun", but blatantly kicking their player right in front of the ref (hamer) or swearing at the ref (jtl) is just brainless. Gotta channel that emotion into chasing down the lost balls, and tracking back, it taking half a chance.

The score line reflects our defending.

Im all for BBD leaving a bit on that arrogant twat. Let’s face it, the ref is giving him everything anyway, plus also ignoring Flemming doing what he wants to our defenders.

 

[GKhantRebel]

Wtf is wrong with us man? Cos wtf was that from BBD?

Most of our lot have fallen for the windup and the shit housing, especially from that hanibal knobend so they've lost it. Probably lucky halftime has come as they need to sort their heads out.

Personally, I'd take Robinson off now, he's not been good and he's losing the plot, and I have no doubt that ref would happily send him off for mouthing.

 

[SUFCinks]

Awful football from us. Smash it long and hope. The first 10 mins we managed to kind of make it work but after that its been a hard watch. Like we are playing with a live bomb. Just very disappointing that we resort to this low of park football.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Brownhill - all the goals, none of the baggage

 

[Champagneblade]

How was that not a yellow for diving?

Same old same old with Parker’s teams. He some fucking golden boy. Cullen should have been off at the the Lane for two yellows. How does Gus get a yellow for one foul yet Brownhill catches two players late and gets not a single yellow? Then Flemming trips himself up and tries to con a pen but no yellow. Ridiculous.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Horrible club Burnley. Stands full of scrubbers and Orcs to even rival the sty. Would just love it if we did them. Don't mind Leeds going up but can't stand these wankers.

 

[espoo blade]

Talk about self destruction ffs. Is Hamer the only player with a brain out there?!

even that's debatable after the booking he got

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

If Robinson breaks Hannibal's legs in the 2nd half he's made amends for his poor form lately

 

[robbiez666]

Well, the kamikaze team selection seems to be doing what the kamikaze team selection was likely to do. We're being outnumbered in midfield and, for some reason only Chris Wilder could tell you, relying on BBD to tackle people. WTF is that decision? You can blame the defenders but there's no cover in front of them.

Happy for Cannon to get his first goal. Should hopefully lift a weight of his shoulders. Robbo and Gus both booked for being idiots. Wild challenge from Anel who was been practicing his wrestling as well. Idiotic challenges from BBD.

JRS and Campbell to come on second half and give them a fright.

 

[straight_outta_compton]

But aside from the pen, thought we deserved a half time draw. Let's give it to em with both barrels for the next 15 mins. Might as well lose 5-1 and go down to 9 men than capitulate to Burnley as they get ole's from the crowd as they pass it around. Playoffs for us, but let's go down with a fight. Remember the playoff semis versus Swindon a few years ago? We were dead and buried early in first half but nearly came back to win a famous victory!!! Or the hull semi final? (My favourite game ever, bizarrely since we lost, but never been prouder)

 

[Sheffsteel]

HT 2-1 to Burnley

Hardly been any chances, could easily be 0-0 at half time, neither keeper having much to do.

The disappointing thing is Burnley didn’t need to work for their 2 goals.
Both stupid mistakes (could say a bit of bad luck) and gift wrapped handed on a plate to Burnley.
It’s galling because the mistakes were down to a lack of intelligence/ stupidity from Hamer and especially Ahmedhodzic.

Regards overall play Burnley look the better team but they are playing in 2nd gear.
It’s as though they know a draw is a good result, so they’re being quite cagey/ negative but we’re struggling to get a grip.
Can hardly remember Vini Souza and Peck touching the ball.

It’s a little embarrassing because our main tactic seems to be to pump it long down field to Moore or Cannon.

The only positive is that our goal was well worked with a superb finish from Cannon…
quite a tight angle but struck with so much power and accuracy it gave their keeper no chance.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Hannibals a snidey cunt isn't he....

Needs a touch of the old Sharon managerial tactics. Tell whoever is about to be subbed to take a lump out of him

 

[SB_90]

so disappointing to get back in the game & then give a gift to burnley anel knows with how players are now. make the most of any contact in the box. you cant make that challenge without giving a penalty

 

[Steve.C]

That Don Goodman is a biased as fuck! Can’t stand him.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Horrible club Burnley. Stands full of scrubbers and Orcs to even rival the sty. Would just love it if we did them. Don't mind Leeds going up but can't stand these wankers.

It’s a total shit hole believe me, shit ground, shit town, boring club

Why they’re continually finding themselves in the top flight is genuinely beyond me. Such a pointless club

 

[bakeblade]

That Mike tyson saying about everyone having a game plan until they get punched in the face
Well that's us but the punch In the face is our centre backs

Played well today been better team and had chances but gave away two goals from very little threat from them

Robbo Anel partnership is shite and needs breaking up

 

[Grey Blade]

Their no 28 has been on the wind up right from the start.
