Burnley fans react during and after the match to Newcastle United 4-1 thrashing | OneFootball

Burnley fans watching on at Turf Moor.

With only one defeat in their last eight Premier League matches, some optimism having returned.

Going into the game two points off safety, could they get a very valuable potentially season saving three points against Newcastle United?

No.

Always interesting to hear what the opposition supporters have to say…

Burnley fans commenting via their Up The Clarets message board during and after losing 4-1 to Newcastle United:

DURING THE MATCH:

‘Wilson booked for diving, I am enjoying this so far.’

‘Massive goal for us, Sheffield 1-0 over forest.’

‘Come on Burnley and the Blades!’

‘Effing Wilson again. Has he ever not scored against us?’

‘Noooo. Losing 1-0. Straight through us.’

‘Newcastle done absolutely nothing for 20 mins! Then diving wilson scores

Shows how important the badge check penalty decision was on 8 mins.’

‘Forest equalise, I think this might be a long 90 minutes can’t see Newcastle not scoring again and we need so many chances to score.’

‘2-0. Shocking.’

‘Absolutely horrific performance Muric aside.’

‘I feel like I’ve been watching this match for about a week, just checked my watch and there’s 10 minutes plus injury time left ffs’

AFTER THE MATCH:

‘At least the hope has disappeared now.’

‘We hadn’t yet managed to beat a team from the top half of the table so defeat today shouldn’t come as any great surprise.’

‘Don’t think anyone’s surprised about a defeat today, but fans do expect a bit of fight to try to prevent it happening.’

‘Newcastle could have scored as many as they wanted today. Kompany is totally naive.’

‘Scoring today flatters us.’

‘Easiest game the Newcastle goalkeeper will have all season.’

‘I have never ever in the 35 years of going on the turf left as early as today (33mins) and like most I’ve seen some absolute dross. The capitulation hit a new low for me today, that was utterly utterly abysmal after going behind.’

‘Some pathetic comments on here from our so called fans…’

‘Muric saved us from a cricket score.’

‘One thing that really struck me today – after a very bright start Newcastle made a change to press high and stop our midfield from getting on the ball resulting in us being unable to get out of our half.’

‘After about 70 minutes, when the Newcastle fans were singing “Europe again” etc, me and my lad started singing “Championship again” mainly to keep us occupied. Some coked up kn.bend took exception to this and attacked my son and daughter.’

‘Quelle surprise that a team paid for by an oil state was able to outclass one from a small town.

After a decent start, we got done by the sucker punch yet again and there was never going to be much of a way back from there.

Obviously they have a lot of good players and are way bettwr than us.’

‘Newcastle could easily have scored 10.’

‘I can’t give ratings today because when the fourth goal went in I went to sit outside in the sun with my lovely cold beer.’

‘Eddie Howe got his game plan spot on, playing 2 up top stopped us to play out like we usually do and we resorted to kicking long to foster who Burn dominated.’

‘Our team’s net cost over the past 2 seasons is about £90 million. Isak cost a reported £70 million.’

‘The basic problem is that our players weren’t good enough, relative to Newcastle’s.’

‘Losing 0-6 at home to Hereford in front of 1,961 fans in January 1987 in the 4th tier was once a reality …

It’s called ” perspective ” …’

‘You’re not wrong, that wasn’t pretty. But, those times have gone!

Newcastle aren’t living their Hereford nightmares out, why should we?’

‘I thought Newcastle worked their socks off and played like they were desperate to beat us. We could not live with their work rate, we seemed to have no answer to it. Used aggression, pace and power.’

‘I think capitulated is too strong a description. Newcastle went up through the gears after the first goal and once they had gained the initiative they have the players and quality to expose the weaknesses. ‘

‘The decision not to award our penalty was clearly wrong and a major wrong decision which probably affected the result.’

‘Maybe apart from the drubbing at home to arsenal they were the best side I’ve seen this season, it was simply the quality of Newcastle that really made us look poor.’

‘Both their full backs appeared to have more licence to bomb on simultaneously, and secondly Newcastle played with two out and out strikers, both with the pace and intent to stretch our centre backs high and wide (and with two pacey wide players).’
