For the life of me I don't understand why he's booked Ben Gibson [again]," said Dyche. "The first one maybe but the second one he's gone to block a shot and it's hit his hip, it's hit his hand. How can that be deemed deliberate handball? It's just an impossibility.

...get real yerself - S.D .

Yes we were stabbed robbed and mugged. Perhaps on the return leg we can show Olympiakos real hospitality and treat their fans well.

Ridiculous refereeing decisions following serious half-time intimidation by the home team. I wonder what EUFA will make of this?

Where were their observers I wonder? Will the ref complain about intimidation at half time? Will Burnley complain about the ref? Can we ask for a review of yellows?
I guess the answer will lead to no change.

Saw the Ufa team flying out of Glasgow to Moscow after playing Rangers. Seemed to still be in their shorts and jackets from the game. Some big boys !

Olympiacos charged by UEFA over fans behaviour.

Now LT claims their owner entered the refs room at half time. But guess what it won’t be investigated!

OLYMPIAKOS owner Evangelos Marinakis allegedly entered the referee’s room at half-time of Burnley’s Europa League defeat in Athens to vent his frustration at the officials’ performances during the first 45 minutes of the tie.
Players, staff and officials of the Greek club were furious towards the end of the first period when Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic turned down a second penalty appeal, having awarded the Clarets a spot kick earlier in the half.

More than a dozen staff from the home club poured onto the pitch in anger after appeals for handball against Stephen Ward were waved away, and the protests continued down the tunnel, with director of team operations Dourekas Kyriakos reportedly chasing after the officials. At the Karaiskasis Stadium the referee’s room is opposite the home dressing room.

The Lancashire Telegraph understands that Marinakis, who also owns Nottingham Forest, entered the officials room and could be heard loudly exchanging views.
That incident is understood not to have been included in the referees or the UEFA delegates report and so is unlikely to be investigated by UEFA although Burnley did raise their concerns with governing body representatives on the night.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, three Burnley players who were not in the matchday squad - Ben Mee, Adam Legzdins and teenager Dwight McNeil, who were sat behind the dugouts - were spat at by Olympiakos fans.

Two close protection security staff employed by Burnley were sat behind the players and told Olympiakos security staff that the players had to be moved. The incident happened five minutes before the break and the trio watched the rest of the game in a VIP box with other Clarets staff.

The Burnley security officers were due to be stood next to the away dugout, as they were in Istanbul for the tie against Basaksehir, but were allegedly told by Olympiakos officials that they were not able to stay there and so were moved behind Mee, Legzdins and McNeil.

A good chant for Thursday would be

Like I said, a half arsed attempt by UEFA to govern, Not Good Enough.
