Annoyingly, have to agree with Zaha. Some of the challenges seen throwing in on some people that don't get the red cards they deserve is ridiculous. 

gosling on vardy yesterday should’ve been a straight red and about a five game ban i reckon. genuinely amazed that vardy didn’t get up and just batter the shit out of him. horrid challenge. especially as it was about 2 minutes after wes had been sent off for literally nothing.

I agree there were some bad tackle that went unpunished, I don't agree he's getting treated differently to other players though, and if he is it might be because he dives at almost any opportunity. He scored a great goal yesterday, he should do that more and shut people up rather than throwing himself to the ground at the slightest touch.

The consistency with referee decisions is the most frustrating thing, no one knows the 'line of what is a red or just a yellow. Think an issue for him is how he's now got a name for diving its hard to completely lose that.

You're right about the consistency. I know each referee is different, but there are clear tackles that should be reds that aren't even down to interpretation and they are being given as yellows. Zaha was actually right about the tackle he was on the end of against Watford two weeks ago. Can't remember which Watford player it was but he clearly scrapes his studs down Zaha's achilles with no attempt for the ball, it's a clear red, no question, the ref is looking right at it and gives a yellow. That's either poor refereeing or he's chickened out of it. Either way it's poor. Gosling on Vardy should have been a red too, from behind, no attempt on the ball because it was long gone. Again, that's not down to interpretation it's just weak refereeing.

 

As for his diving, well just stop. Try his hardest to stay on his feet and eventually he'll lose that tag. It doesn't help when him and his manager spent the whole build up to the Watford match bitching about the mascot taking the piss out of his diving. He's actually been ok this season so far and that just brought it to the fore again. Just shut up and get on with it.

Both great points there which I agree with. Refs bottle or miss a lot of the big calls, maybe fearing the repercussions? 

 

Zaha just needs to get in with his football and almost tell Woy to shut up. If he doesn't dive, the reputation will go

Scores a goal and then is directly responsible for two of the goals conceded. That penalty he gave away for attempting a tackle with his wrong foot - classic Bamba lol

Absolutely hilarious - player going away from goal and he just takes him out getting nowhere near the ball and then starts complaining at the referee.

Got to say that Bournemouth peno is really really soft 

 

home banker if ever I have seen one

 

Wes Morgan second yellow pathetic aswell

 

Bournemouth had some jammy luck today

Yeah it was soft but they should of had another penalty from ricardo

That wasn't a penalty. A touch on your hip shouldn't be enough to send you sprawling. If his legs had been clipped fair enough, but that was an example of believing any contact entitles you to go down.

Really? Did you not see that back on slow mo on tv? Definately a dive and the Bournemouth player who scored 2 should of been yellow carded

When Fraser went down in the first half was absolutely pathetic. Never ever a penalty. Yellow for diving should have come out.

Pathetic from Zaha really, all he is doing is trying to influence future referees. He probably does get fouled a lot, but most of the time he could stay on his feet if he wanted to. 

 

Him being such a cry baby will stop him go any higher than he is now.

I know we got some criticism last year for how we played, but bloody hell Burnley are boring. Pass around the back and long ball to Vokes/Wood Or ball to the wings, Cross to Vokes/Wood.

Why did Burnley buy Hart & why does he start every week ?

What's wrong with Heaton & Pope ?

Pope dislocated his shoulder in Europe qualifiers and think Heaton us still working his way back (he is on the bench). So they signed Hart in the summer

I didn't know that Pope was injured. I guess one will have to go in January if all three are healthy.

If Heatons on the bench he must be fine, meaning Hart was a pointless signing.

At the time, they had Linggard (ex Utd keeper) as their only fit keeper. Hart was a 3.5million (edited) signing and as a hugely experienced keeper, it's a great bit of business.

3 keepers all with experience at the top level all pushing for a position can only be a good thing
