Olympiakos v Burnley

[oldcolner]

Mail says

this first leg of the qualifying playoff will be talked about for years to come in east Lancashire. They stood up to Olympiacos, looked for long spells like leaving with a result in a white-hot atmosphere, yet saw referee Slavko Vincic eventually bow to home pressure.

Burnley were busy, much more so than against Watford on Sunday. They were excellent, in fact, and the result should not sway that.

The Mrs gets her Mail delivered on her Kindle every day, sometimes she mentions something in it and offers the kindle for me to read, I say I'm sorry I don't want to read any crap it writes.

It turns nasty
One Burnley supporter was stabbed on Thursday night as their Europa League tie at Olympiacos turned nasty.

Three others were badly beaten and robbed and those following Sean Dyche's side warned of locals carrying knives before the 3-1 defeat in Greece.

23 fans arrested for being drunk or not boarding the coaches.

Sean claimed he witnessed intimidation of referee Slavko Vincic in the tunnel at half-time by the Greek players with the game at 1-1.

'The scenes I saw at half-time from all and sundry, and then things change in the second half,' Dyche said. 'They were waiting for the referee. You all saw the feel of the game was different in the second half.

'We are told to respect referees. I feel for our fans, they've come a long way to see a balanced game and haven't seen that.

These stabbings and violence at Football match's really piss me off Colner, as far as I'm concerned they are animals and should be treated as such
