| Burnley - A Different Take 08:31 - Feb 9 with 3268 views | gosblue |
I was at the game on Tuesday and I was watching a different game to most posters on here. Firstly, why would any Town fan want to take that goal away from Hirst.
The first half was very even but that was only because Burnley decided to resort to Sunday league thuggery. Cork almost cut Aluko in two, for which he got a yellow card. He later went straight through him again after the ball had gone. The ref didn’t even give a free kick, probably because he knew it was a second yellow.
The second half saw a fantastic rear-guard action by our boys, in which we resisted a very good attacking team until the 94th minute (I think Keogh would have dealt with that long ball). And we almost stole it through a magnificent Kayden Jackson.
Man-of-the-match was our twelfth man; the superb Town support. We were even out-singing them when they were 1-0 and 2-1 up and long after the final whistle. I’m sure I saw Cameron Humphreys wipe away a tear when we were singing his name. He really is one of our own. All-in-all, a magnificent away trip and I’m sure mine wasn’t the only sore throat. COYB

Are you referring to the chance that Kayden Jackson shot weakly at their keeper ?, I thought it was a poor finish, very similar to his effort v Derby, he has the pace to get into goal scoring positions, but unfortunately that’s about it | | | |

Jacksons shot was with his left foot.
No different to if Chaplin hits it with his right or morsy with his left. Tbh to even hit it that cleanly with his left foot was excellent work. |  |

Jackson works his socks off, has blistering pace, can deliver some decent balls and does his fair share of tracking back.
If he could finish consistently there is absolutely no chance he'd be in League One (see also - Wes Burns Composure, George Edmundson Concentration, Lee Evans Pace)
It's the same for any players at this level. They all have weak areas which is why they aren't elite. The key is figuring out which attributes players do have that can work together to create a successful team. [Post edited 9 Feb 2023 9:05]

It was not a great finish but he was concentrating on getting it on target because he was on his left foot . Kayden played really well 100% effort from him and the others . |  | | |

Thanks for this. Cork is the son of the old Wimbledon player Alan Cork. No surprise there. And we wonder why our players get injured, it's thanks to supporters like you that we find out why. We know the ref didn't fancy extra time, as he let the foul on Woolfenden go. But very little nitty gritty such as you saw gets reported, Burnley had to stop Aluko playing, as he could have won the game for us. |  | | |

There were a number of nasty challenges during that game. I don't know if anyone else spotted it, but right at the very end, we pumped the ball into their final third, one of their defenders went down like a sack of spuds rolling around, play acting holding his face. Ref blew for FT, said player immediately got up. Disgraceful cheating. |  | | |

Yes it was a weak effort with his weak foot, ‘to even hit it that cleanly with his left foot was excellent work’, lol [Post edited 9 Feb 2023 12:25]

What's so lol. You can hit a ball cleanly but weak. It's natural for most footballers not to be able to hit a ball with power on their weak side it doesn't mean they've to executed the shot correctly. | |

You’re giving a professional footballer credit for kicking the ball cleanly with his weak foot !!!! | | | |

When I've seen others miss the target with their stronger foot, yes fair play to Jackson. | |

Ok, what is your view on Jackson’s missed chance with his stronger foot, in very similar circumstances, v Derby ? | | | |

A couple of other replies to your excellent post which I forgot to say earlier:
1. who would want to take the goal away from George Hirst? - only non football people, not real football people who understand the emotion of being involved in this great game. To answer your question properly would take more time - about mentality, the rise of football stats, goals decision panels, people feeling they have to post something uncontestable, say 'I am right', without really having any justification to do so, etc. Football players, managers, staff, and referees are real people here with real emotions. It does matter.
2. there have been very few reports from people as the game was not available to watch live on TV or via streaming services. All that's been available since, as far as I know, is a two minute YouTube video put out by Burnley FC, which doesn't show the piece of skill by Aluko on the halfway line before the through ball to Kayden Jackson.
Those of us at home had to sit through yet another Billy Sharpe childish strop after his win against Wrexham. Although I did enjoy the Wrexham striker buying two penalties - he was superb - our strikers should watch those to see how to buy penalties. Not that I'm saying we should cheat, but you have to play this way to get what you deserve. It was the way he went down, it was textbook. Gave the referee no alternative but to award the penalty each time. Don't get me wrong. I wish the game was not like this, but there's nothing we can do about it.
Our match should have been picked for TV, they always pick the wrong ones. Then the ref would have had proper scrutiny for Cork's second yellow, and some of the other challenges. Our manager, captain and team need to get into the referee more to make him see his errors - immediately, while there is still time to get him to change his mind. The error on Barnes v. Woolfenden cost us the game. But our manager only 'thought it was a foul' - that's not enough emotion, I'm afraid. I did see the EADT's picture of Morsy, a dazed Woolfenden and one other player gesturing and shouting towards the referee. Again, that's not enough. It's not quick enough. While Woolfenden was still flat out on the floor, the whole rest of the team should have been around the referee, getting in his face, demanding a change of decision.
Same with the TV picks last night, Fulham v Sunderland turned out to be one of the best games of the 4th Round (it was the first game on MoTD that night), but they only "caught up" by picking the replay to show last night, so it was "after the Lord Mayor's show" for that one. | | | |

Not sure what that has to do with the shot you're talking about from Tuesday. | |

Both were similar chances, one on his weak foot and one on his strong foot, both chances missed, are you prepared to forgive him for not taking the chance with his strong foot ?, surely you cannot cut him the same amount of slack for missing both chances ? | | | |

This is spot an mate. So agree with the thing about getting in the referee's face - we never do this - not the players, not the fans. Other teams do it, and there can be no doubt that it influences the referee's decisions. |  |
