Sometime in the mid 1880s when angry fans chased the players down St James St after their return from a dismal away performance...

Most of them now reside in the Bob Lord!

This board is populated by bitter and twisted gammons and, belligerent self publicising zimmers from the BL commie loving old gits who want to drag us back to 70's.
Most of eccentrics on this board refer to the orient game as an almost mystical event (get over it it was a football match), vilify coyle (he got us promoted for the first time and at least his teams were worth watching) and still chant until we play b*stard rovers (don't these morons realise we would have to be relegated to do this).
Real Burnley fans haven't changed they still enjoy going to see the matches home and away but don't waste time on this message board pursuing personal vendettas whilst sitting in their flat in stoops waiting for their dole pay so they can buy some special brew.
But saying that I love this board it keeps me in touch with roots and shows me the depths I could sink too. :D

So let me get this right. This board is populated by the lowest of the low, people who are:
Old
Don't go to the games
Would drag us back to the 70s
Commies
Pursue personal vendettas
Drink during the day
Live in council flats
Eccentrics
Morons
Unemployed
Then, after making your ill-informed and rather stupid sweeping statement you then realise that you yourself are, indeed, on this board so you have to then justify your presence on it by saying it shows you the depths you could sink to - you might as well have said you are on here for research like someone caught using a child porn site.

I would expect no more posts from you lest other users suspect that you are some or all of the above.

Obviously not have every poster has all of those characteristics. Some may not drink during the day but drink during at night and obviously the young will get old.
As I have not watched child pornography I will bow to your greater experience.

Last 2 away games ( citeh and WHU) the Burnley contingent looked more like a depressed aging slightly beer sodden ramblers association with a few young uns thrown in for good measure . In fact the vocal support also seemed about as exciting

When half our first team worked their balls off to qualify for Europe then Dyche decided to play his reserve team in the biggest tournament of our generation. It’s alright though we can still reminisce about ‘the dark days’ and if we spend over £5mil on a player we could become the new Leeds.

Burnley fans are definitely distinctive. Passionate and knowledgeable and proud of a deep tradition. i.e. the opposite of Brighton.

Where did I say I had any experience of child porn? And I drink at nights, as many as 4 nights a week. Wine mainly. I am an unbelievably healthy individual who works out 3 times a week, walks a lot, have a healthy lifestyle and not an ounce overweight. I have a decent job and a happy family.

And oh, I post on here. Does that fit your demographic?

I’m a far cry from being a big fan of Hendrick, but he isn’t crap. He’s misused.

Hart out however is quite possibly the worst consistent call I’ve ever seen on this board. Playing 3-5-2 can’t be far behind mind.
