ablueclaptrap retires from the forum

Just for awhile, till the beginning of July or of course if Dyche leaves, to enable all the true fans to celebrate this season unemcumbered by the less than delerious ones.
Young keen and committed, that's all I ask in the transfer market, no marque or video signings, and if we venture into Europe no older than 24.
Now for that allotment ravaged by newly enlivened weeds and that tandem aching to get back on the towpath.

Enjoy the respite, ablue will be back.
But will it be under a New Labour Government, not sure Jeremy does that.

You can tell a lot about someone who feels the need to tell people he doesn't know and will never meet that he is taking a break from a forum on the internet.

Do you need an apprentice muck spreader krbfc is after a summer job once schools break up ?

1st minute vs WHU. It'll be on here to celebrate the fact that he's never been to a match.

If you shared a tandem, you wouldn't want to be the one at the back, closest to the orifice he talks out of.

and you can tell a lot more about people who need to put the boot in needlessly for no good reason.

ablue sees it all for a bit of banter, and with humour. you should try it claretdom, it might help get that holier than thou chip of your shoulder.

It'd be nice if he/you decided to retire this Username for a bit, too.

Its a shame that just because someone has a different opinion to a lot of the brainless sheep on here or isn't a fully paid up member of the Dyche can do no wrong brigade that they're constantly ridiculed. Though this was supposed to be a discussion board?

It must be harvesting time at the allotment.

If anyone is after any of Wiltshire's finest rolling cabbage then get your orders in on here.

The only side effect's are wanting defenders to play in midfield and youth players (who you've never seen) to come into the side over seasoned professionals.

Really? You will be critising the Club for signing players with not enough experience next!

Whatever the Club and Manager do, you know better.

Probably as sad and needy as you have to be as a man of his age trolling Burnley message boards for pleasure.

Granted, it's a bizarre type of humour, inviting all the stick he gets. Daft as a brush he may be but he's not malicious and I've never known him blow up and see red on here.

In an odd kind of way I bet he's enjoying this. :?

if you support Burnley and you find it difficult to accept diverse opinions, then you aren't really a football fan. If you were, then itwould be so easy to grasp why some fans take a sideways look at the club. I have never understood the defences that go up against critics. All they are doing is venting frustration. If you dont occasionally get frustrated, then maybe you should change sports and follow something more insipid.
ablue just looks at it from a different angle. Really shocked so many are incapable of seing that. its just a light hearted means of expression.

The admirable Rowls has done a similar thing on at least two occasions in the past.

A couple of years ago he took a sabbatical to travel to Eastern Europe to find out whether or not Marshall Tito was more of an alcoholic than Winston Churchill. He then took the time out to travel west in the quest of discovering if Gore Vidal was actually a hairdresser at some stage.

On both occasions he returned as a more informed and wisened individual.

Whether the same thing will happen in this case remains to be seen.

I wont believe this is actually true until I see another four threads from ABC saying the same thing...

No doubt he'll be back from his self imposed exile early anyway like his year off when we got promoted last time. I think he lasted 3 months.

I suspect rowls returned rather more wizened than wisened.... ;)
