79 - Staring Down the VAR-rel?
Cherries lost 3-0 away to Burnley on Saturday in a match riddled with yet more ineptness from the Premier League. Whilst relegation might spell doom for most AFCB fans, to others there's a growing solace that should the worst happen, at least we'll be competing in a league where there's an iota of consistency. Alas, there's a long way to go, Bournemouth can still survive, and lets not take the credit away from Burnley, as they battered us for the last part of the game. However, we also must remember that they were up against a team that had been mentally scarred by decisions which have been labelled bizarre by journalists, presenters, pundits, former referees, and the players and management of both sides. Sam Davis is joined by Jeff Hayward as we discuss the match at Turf Moor, dissecting the inconsistencies and the misdemeanours that led to a three goal defeat. Is it a psychological weakness on AFCB's part? Perhaps. Maybe Jon Moss is at home chuckling to himself over a glass of red? Probably. Either way, the outcome of the game - whilst perhaps not indicative of proceedings at Turf Moor, bizarrely ended up flattering AFCB, with the home side producing chance after chance - and possibly deserving of more. As well as this we look forward to our next match against Chelsea, plus we consider what really could happen should the Cherries suffer the dreaded "R word" - would it be as terminal as we all fear?
