the BEN feels the need to tell us this nugget of bullshit...

MARTIN Paterson was delighted to put one over on his old boss Owen Coyle – even if there was a shade of doubt over his goal.

The Burnley striker headed home the Clarets’ first goal, seemingly from an offside position, to give his side the perfect filip heading into the half time break.

But asked if he’d seen the replays to see whether it should have counted, the Northern Ireland international didn’t seem too worried.

“I haven’t got a clue and I’m not fussed, I couldn’t care less, the linesman didn’t put his flag up and I was happy with that,” he said. “I probably should have scored more and that will come.

wow... thanks for that.

good read...

dicks.

Speaking of Burnley players, there was one of them (not even the goalscorer) not half giving it to the Bolton fans after the first goal, like a complete wanker.

There's nothing in the game that irritates me more, as had something deservedly been chucked at the fucker's head, he'd have been the first to want it investigated by the police.

I remember that, the stewards crapped themselves...

your right, he goaded us - but will receive no punishment.

if one of the Bolton faithful would have jumped the barrier and got hold of the cocky little twat he would have had a lifetime stadium ban. no thought would have been given to the fact he was winding us up.

even if somebody got singled out for making a a 'gesture' towards him (as over 3000 were) he would have been a scapegoat, arrested and possibly banned from football for a year or two... for doing the same thing the player was more or less doing.

dont even get me started on the Public order act or the football spectators act - stupid laws written by dickheads who have no real clue what real life is like just so the police can go out and 'have a bit of fun doing weekend overtime' and exersise there dirty skanky dogs...

Diouf always used to do it. It does piss me off a little at the time but to suggest he deserved something throwing at him is just thuggish behaviour.

It's taking advantage of the fact that fans cannot respond. It's worse behaviour than starting a fight with a stranger in the street for no apparent reason. I don't understand somebody not thinking he doesn't deserve a clip round the ear.

its amazing how much bottle people develop when they have a curtain of police and stewards around them...

Remember Diouf at Newcastle when he scored 2? He was proper winding them up. Did that bother you? It didn't bother me so I can't moan or hope someone throws something when people do it against us.

Everything Diouf did, except play football, wound me up.

I don't hope to see fans retaliating to these players but if they did, I wouldn't be sympathetic.

You'll probably grow out of it one day. I used to hope Roy Keane would die.

Dioufy, Dare i say legend? (again)

Did you ever see him play?

And I don't mean on the internet or telly.

He's far from a legend.

Yes i did thanks. He was brilliant.

You can't have seen him many times. As he was rarely brilliant.

... in your opinion.

I beg to differ.

I thought he was great...

He was average at best imho.

I thought Diouf was brilliant too. ***

Diouf was a class act but was also surrounded by class players at the time.Anelka,Stelios,Campo,KD in his peak days.We had a great side that could have pushed for Champions Leauge under BSA.Gartside refused him funds he left,we got Lee then Megson who blew 30 million and we are now in the Championship looking shyte.BSA is back in the Premier and Jussi was in goal and kept a clean sheet.A year since we won at QPR 4-0 was that our last clean sheet.Can Coyle motivate players like BSA i doubt it very much.Coyle needs results and the team playing well or he has to go before its too late for us to challenge for promotion.

Largehat, and he is large, is wrong this time.

One of the best things about having Diouf is that unlike many of our other stars of that era, we got him at his best, in his prime. He was fast, he could dribble, and he scored important goals. Purely as a footballer, what's not to like about that?
