4th official recommended straight red, the ref pulled the wrong card out and changed it when he saw which card was pulled out. Was confirmed by sky reporter that it was always going to be a straight red.
So, the Championship season has started **Spoilers**

Probably get fined. Wasnt acceptable like even though he didnt actually achieve anything . He's a mad man anyway. Sort of guy that would be a serial killer if he wasn't a goalkeeper coach
Good luck to Brighton in playoffs!

That was a bit intense. Premiership here we come.
Hope Brighton win the play-offs now.

Okay?
Only repeating what the chap on the sidelines said, obviously thats all I have to go on.

It was the timing of the red that killed us. Equalise and then red card a few minutes later. No chance to capitalise on the goal.
Nothing went for us today. Poor sending off(never a red...but then you should know my philosophy on fouls and red cards by now). Just a bad game. What really ****es me off is that he had his yellow card out, Boro player knocks them out of his hand, then he sees a bit of blood and suddenly it is a red. No problems with the player of course, it looked like a nasty injury but it was purely just unlucky.
Anyway, we still have the playoffs!
Sadly, I can see spirits dropping and we will lose these as well.
Think positively. Unbeaten in 14, and we haven't lost to any of the other playoff teams this season! (well, in the league. We lost to Hull in the cup)
Yeah okay, it wasn't as bad as that but I still felt horrible.

Does anyone know what the deal with Joey Barton and his Championship medal is?
As far as I can tell, the football league sent 25 medals to Burnley, but Burnley invited 27 players to collect a medal, the 1st 25 to turn up got a medal but Barton and another player arrived last so didn't get one.
What are the requirements to get a Championship medal? In the Premiership you need to have played 5 games (used to be 10) to get a medal. But even so the most medals ever handed out was 24 to Man United in 2012/13 (at least according to wikipedia).
How many players have Burnley used this season? They seamed to have a fairly settled squad with 15 or 16 'regulars'.
Have random youth teamers who have never played a game in the Championship snagged a medal?

To be honest I'm not a fan of Barton in the slightest but seems pretty harsh, especially since he was in the Championship Team of the Seaon
You seem to know more than I do about it, are there any Burnley fans in here who can answer?
It is harsh but he wasn't singled out not to receive one, sounds like he just happened to be there later. It's a bit of a slap in the face to him though, why would anyone be collecting a medal before the first squad regulars anyway?
For me you should get a medal even if you've only played one minute of the season, you've still contributed.

I've actually just read on the BBC that he has actually been given a medal now.
Though Burnley have apparently stated that all 27 will keep their medals, which makes me think players who didn't played a minute of Championship football this season have waltzed off with one.

Edit: I've been looking at the stats and Burnley had 25 players who either started or came on as a sub in the Championship this season (who in my opinion are the only players who should receive a medal).
Jelle Vossen and Marvin Sordell both left the club last August so wont have received a medal, leaving 23 players.
You can't really make an argument for back up keepers seeing as Gilks joined in 2014 and has never played a game in the league for Burnley and neither has Paul Robinson who joined in January.
But even is you decide to include those it's 25. Who are the other 2 who could have picked up a medal?

Indeed, it was never going to be recinded but it was a stupid red though.. there was a similar tackle on a Man City defender the other night and nobody batted an eyelid because there was no cut/blood.
