Dan Burn

[andycap]

Gawalls I've got a feeling this could be make or break for Burn as far as his future with the club goes today. 😂 

[BlazeT44]

The only one that showed any balls today. Hope it's not too serious.

[Jack14Bojangles]

Get well soon, Dan, and I hope it's not as bad as it looked.

[Big Geordie]

Apparently he's in hospital - club have released a statement. Said to wor lass at the time that I reckon he'll have at least one bust rib - gonna be a spell on the sidelines i reckon. 

[Pilko]

Shame we lost him today, a proper leader and may have inspired the rest of the sackless wonders onto more second half.

You know more than our medical team  What were they playing it. It was obvious he was fucked.

both was my prediction after the first replay 

[Optimistic Nut]

I don't get how it's not a red. He's not got control of himself else he'd not have smashed into his chest, he got nowhere near the ball. Of course he has every right to try and challenge for the ball but once you slide in like that and get nowhere it, it should be a sending off imo.

Give over man, its a contact sport.

Reckless not violent would be the interpretation

Charming.

 

Used to like you as a poster OP but you're an obnoxious twat nowadays.

 

Both players committed early to the tackle and sliding for it, there's always going to be a collision if that happens.  If he had went in with his studs than it's a red.

Thought their player had every right to go for it tbh, if one of our players pulled out of that challenge I'd be annoyed. A yellow is fair as he was late, but I didn't think it was "nasty" unlike some of their other challenges, just an unfortunate collision.  

[Jack14Bojangles]

Any normal striker sprints towards the ball and then jumps over the sliding defender if he's too late.

The striker slides in towards the ball and the defender even though he can already see he can't get to the ball before the defender.

To me, that's very reckless, but I suppose it happens in a derby.

All a direct result of Gordon’s utter shitness in that first half. Definely expecting a cracked rib or something, looked painful.

Aye, all from a shocking pass from him.

Both players slide for the ball, yeap he's late but he does make sure he's not studs in etc.  the unfortunate part is where the contact is.

Hope the big guy is ok

Except one player was sliding away from the other and one slid directly into the other and let his knee go hard into the other's ribs.

It was intentional and cowardly.

[Big Geordie]

50/50 for me, with the lad being  a bit late on Dan - so worthy of a yellow. 

[John P]

Why the fuck was he not immediately brought off. Looked like he could barely breathe and was constantly holding his ribs for the few minutes he came back on, it was madness

[Fak]

Only Brobbey (second yellow) should have been sent off. But doubt it would have made any difference.

The ref bottled that, looking straight at it about 5 yards away. "Managing the game" and keeping it 11 v 11 my arse
