In the Daily Mail today Sean Dyche making some interesting accusations following Burnley's defeat to Olympiakos last night...
''Carnage. Absolute carnage. The tunnel was bursting with bodies, waiting for referee Slavko Vincic to arrive for half-time. The Slovenian could not have known what he was walking in on.
Olympiacos officials, substitutes, management – ‘even the tea lady,’ joked Sean Dyche – were primed to let rip''. They had been refused two debateable penalties and the minute or so of commotion underneath the Karaiskakis Stadium unquestionably changed the complexion of an extraordinary Europa League tie.
It was intimidation of an official, pure and simple. Dozens connected with Olympiacos were barracking Vincic. Burnley went in drawing 1-1. They left Piraeus having lost 3-1 and with Ben Gibson ridiculously sent off.
