Hysterical Overeactions and meltdowns to a defeat

[PutTheWheelieBinsOut]

Hysterical Overeactions and meltdowns to a few comments on a football message board.

Maybe we should create a 'safe space' for the OP, he can't handle it.

[Devils_Advocate]

Pretty much everyone has said we were awful in the second half. But talk of awful transfer windows, needing to get knocked out of Europe, etc are very premature.

I agree but equally talk of a brilliant transfer window, Vydra being the saviour etc is just as premature. The hysteria like with most things comes with the extremes from both sides of the debate but on here it does seem at times that one form of hysteria is ignored and seen as not a problem whilst the other is constantly jumped on and attacked

[Imploding Turtle]

There's gonna be a point this season when someone on here unironically suggests that Dyche has taken us as far as he can and that we should look to bring in a new manager.

I bet I know who'll be the first to suggest it too!

[Stayingup]

Reading the board today,it resembles what you'd expect from the likes of Brighton/Leicester/Arsenal or Boro or any other deluded sets of fans.But from Burnley...?

Feels very much like the happy clapper/premier league obsessives mixed with the full time moaners have literally sh1t their beds after 1 home defeat.
They moan and whinge about "hoofball" "bad transfer window" "terrible bench" "we shouldn't be in europe" etc etc Are some even aware that we're not a "super club" with a rich chinese sugar daddy? We're by en large an ageing team of bargain basement buys and journeymen who under Dyhes remarkable stewardship have been moulded into superb unit far surpassing the individual skill of any stand alone player. We've competed very succesfully in the strongest leauge in the world and gone toe to toe with some of the biggest club sides in the world and here we are in Europe riding the crest of a massive wave,yet STILL they moan after ONE defeat!

Could i kindly suggest the aforementioned moaners Shut the f*** up,get a grip,buckle up and enjoy the ride

But we weren't toe toe with one of the biggest club sides on Sunday. Did you note that Sean Dyche said publicly he was not happy with the display.

We all know what Burnely has achieved. Its been marvellous. But on Sunday, in defence, our rock, we were sloppy and paid the price. Unsusual but hopefully, in spite of playing twice a week, we will improve from that. I think we will.

[TVC15]

Ok, so can we assume the OP and his ever smiling likers, NEVER post anything negative about this football club on here ?
Presumably None of them ever have previously either, or the accord would be meaningless and false surely.

All a matter of perspective really - something sadly lacking in your posts unfortunately.

Of course some of the people liking the original post will have criticised the team....but maybe they don`t go massively overboard with the criticism on the back of every defeat.
Did you spot how active KRBFC was yesterday after the game for example ?

Do you not think its a bit strange for posters to keep on banging on about the same things (Hendrick, the transfer window, no Plan B etc) every time we lose a game and then remain silent when we are on a good run ?

Of course the board is all about opinions but if after a couple of wins a few people were on here saying we were better than Man City and deserve to win the league how is that different to some of the negative comments when we get beat about how the club has a shambolic transfer record etc ? Both these extreme reactions would lack any perspective.

Personally I do not mind criticism if it is specific and based more around facts than opinions. General c-rap like the club having £140m last year and refusing to spend it (still being posted yesterday) is just made up nonsense with zero knowledge of the club and only posted to try and justify a general negative feeling towards Dyche and the club....which is really a bit sad as its hard to see these fans ever being satisfied supporting Burnley.

[aclaretinstevenage]

Logged in just to "like" the OP. Some of yesterday's reactions to a defeat were little short of pathetic.

IMHO of course.

yet more nonsense, if you care to read the OP, you should realise it is basically having a ridiculous pop at anyone who takes a contrary view, he then casually lists virtually everything relevant to most fans, then suggests anyone debating these topics is some lunatic .
Your unecessary jibe towards me was typical of the many on here who fail to say something without personalising it with insult.

I never said I agreed with the original OP because I agree that it way over the top (eh I remember what he said about his experience at the Keirby Hotel !)

But my jibe to you was because because your post is kind of the same as his - but at the other extreme in terms of perspective. Apologies if you think this was a personal insult - it was not meant to be. But coming from you with some of the stuff you post I'm a bit surprised you think that was a personal insult / jibe tbh !!

[biggles]

so we should pat ourselves on the shoulder and bask in the great situation the club is in, should we? no need to comment when a poor performance is seen. let's just be happy with everything as it is and turn a blind eye to any short-comings and live the dream? nonsense! the club has to evolve and improve - even after finishing 7th last season. our lack of goals and defenders 'switching off' has to be a concern - yes even despite some good performances. like someone said above in response to the overheated OP, we weren't playing one of the best teams in Europe yesterday!

[TVC15]

No we weren’t playing one of the best teams in Europe you are correct

However we were playing against a team who have been in this league longer than us, have spent a lot more money and who pay much higher wages than us.

Watford played Brighton off the park last week. Brighton easily beat United yesterday. Yesterday the game pretty much went to form.

Sometimes we should just remind ourselves that yesterday is more like the norm and when we are beating these teams like last year that it’s these games that are not the norm.

[tim_noone]

The football world is in shock that burnley lost to Watford.

[biggles]

TVC - I agree with some of your comments, however, it seems like any time we lose to a team who've been in this league longer than us, who are wealthier than us, who pay higher wages than us [ie just about every other club] etc etc we should still feel content with that defeat and just be darn glad we are even in this league.

[TVC15]

Show me any post which says they are “content” with yesterday’s defeat and you might have an argument.

“Realistic” is the word,

And btw I am darn glad we are in the league - are you not ?

[biggles]

no need to get arsey, pal. plenty of posts which imply contentment. you don't actually have to see the word 'content' to come to that conclusion! as for your last sentence - i'd only get banned.

[Vegas Claret]

god forbid we have a message board that allows an opinion (either way)

[fidelcastro]

Yeah, but opinions are like @rseholes... everyone has one and everyone elses stinks!

[Bfcboyo]

Same people moaning won't have the football nouse to have realised just how close we came to taking the lead in the first half and probably transforming the match and going on to get 3 points. All fine margins

[Vegas Claret]

Yeah, but opinions are like @rseholes... everyone has one and everyone elses stinks!

indeed !! Hope you are well mate

[watsonsclarets]

The opening post is kind of correct.

But how many people stayed yesterday for the full 90!!!!

Whilst there was a meltdown on here how many stayed for the full 90 i suggest there was less than 10k after 85 minutes so are we any better than some of the clubs you mention.

Yes, i moaned a bit during the game i was frustrated but i stayed till the end so the board overaction maybe not just confined to this board.

We lost a great clubman today and that puts things properly into perspective for me

[fidelcastro]

indeed !! Hope you are well mate

Who is getting arsey ?
Show me one post showing or even implying contentment.

Just so you know contentment means “a state of happiness and satisfaction“
(Now I am being arsey “pal”)

[FactualFrank]

How to start an argument on here:

1) Express an opinion
2) Wait

[Carport]

I don't rate Hendrick 1 bit, but he was clearly our best player yesterday.

Not a Hendrick fan but yesterday watched him closely first half and thought he did well so praised him at half time to those around me who would previously have heard me bemoaning his contribution.

I often read the word "meltdown" on here, and have to confess to not really knowing what this meltdown thingy consists of.
Sounds a bit over the top to me.

[TVC15]

So since you know what it means you’ll be fine pointing out which poster was happy and satisfied that we got beat yesterday

[tiger76]

We don't have a divine right to beat anyone in the Premier League,Watford stayed in the game during our good spell in the first half,and were ruthless when their chances came.It's disappointing to lose at home,in what many people myself included,would have considered a winnable game,the beauty of sport is if we turn over United in a couple of weeks,which we could,the reaction will be OTT in the other direction.

The worrying aspect of both our league games,is how we have fallen away in the 2nd half of each match.And we need to bury our chances when we're on top in games,the defensive errors i hope are a one off,but it's been noted we don't create loads of opportunities,so any that fall our way have to be taken.

[boatshed bill]

I'm not melting, but i've just watched the first half again. Wood needs to up his challenging as a front man, and Lennon needs to look up before crossing.
Watford didn't really have a lot of trouble containing us, they let us knock it around in the middle probably knowing we weren't going to hurt them there.
i'd better not watch the second half in case I self ignite

[Spijed]

As long as we finish above three others...

[boatshed bill]

Absolutely, Spijed.
Although I think we'll do a bit better than that
