Going into a new season in the top flight of English football with the squad/team that we have is nothing short of outrageous.

I understand that there is still some time left in the window but I doubt we will go into the season even as strong as we were last season when many thought we needed to strengthen.

I can’t believe so little frustration is being shown on here over the past week or so.

I guess that most of us reached puberty a few years ago

Will outrage and frustration help?

How long have you been a Burnley fan for, since last month?

It's only an outrage if you have only been supporting us for the last 3 years.

Most of us watched Graham Branch pay centre half one week then up front the next and generally just got behind the club.

I see where you’re going with this. I was at ‘the game’ so I’m allowed to ask these types of questions

Have you took the time to read any of the other posts on this messageboard

Graham Branch at centre half? I'd tried to wipe that from the memory.

This is the attitude that I don’t understand. I was once on tit milk, does that mean that I should accept a crap meal in a restaurant?

No outrage here.

Outrage, No. Apathy, Yes.

Next you'll be mentioning the orient game ...

I'm outraged. Does that help?

Be philosophical, guys and humbly accept "it's the Burnley way "......one that's given us 5 years of continuous premiership football. Does it for me.

Apparently our offer of £4m plus 10 million fan outrage points has been turned down by Watford as we pursue the signing of Craig Dawson. Apparently, they don't see much value in outrage points.

Strange.

Just start spreading runmours about how you hear we are going to get the tory MP to get involved.....

I can guarantee you about 6 posters on here will get this thread to about 40 pages within a few days....

They must be too young to remember the Thatcher days based on the rule of only complaining if you can’t remember a time that it was worse

Outrage? When you saw Helliwell as CF, that was outrageous
I could go on but clearly I'd be wasting my time We're nowhere near the low point in our clubs long and checkered history believe me from someone who watched us lose 3-0 at Chester

Put me down as " mildly concerned " ....

Concerned yes but mostly still pinching myself. Keep perspective.

I could have sworn I left it in the top drawer of the bedside cabinet but just checked and its not there now
Do you know where it is ?

It's only a game at whatever level you look at. Certainly not worth getting upset about because you have no control over anything that happens at the club.
You can either support your club or turn your back on it and not go to matches -----chance would be a fine thing. No outrage needed.

A little disappointed but I tend not to expect much

Most of us would agree, we are absolutely nowhere near as low as we have been in our history, and we can probably all recount coming off a game in the 80’s in despair, wondering if things could actually get worse. However, the OP is correct in stating that for a so called established Premier League club to be going into a new season in the position we are in, is, to put it bluntly, disgraceful. We are down to the bare bones BEFORE a ball has been kicked, not 2/3 into the season when suspensions kick in.
We are all hoping that Sean can yet again work his magic and get a tune out of a small ageing squad. Fingers crossed -but I’m not holding my breath. This is of course IMHO, before I get slated and slagged off on here for being a pessimist/non supporter. UTC.

Think frustrated sums it up. There's clearly things going on behind the closed doors at the turf, we haven't had the normal excuses even yet which to me is telling. It would be nice to know what's going on but I guess we'll find out in time.

Outraged, you do know season tickets are frozen for the 7th season in a row, or something daft like that.

As long as the magician is still here all is well, leave the clown to think he is the main attraction and doing all the magic

No, but I wouldn't expect you to start a thread on here trying to get other posters to be outraged at your crap meal either.

Before my time.

In for Dale Stephens. Chill your beans.

I used most of mine up 2 years ago

All Clarets that lived through that period culminating with the Orient game, the pain the anger that depressing vision of the future they don't do frustration we are alive and financially well and living in the premier league. Get a grip.

Depends on your perspective I suppose, but why people get so worked up about something they have no control over baffles me.

Whichever level we are playing at we should all support the club.

To put it into perspective look at Bury & Macclesfield, fans of those clubs would give their right arm to have our 'problems'.

And yes like everybody else I'm frustrated about the lack of activity in the market, but it is what it is, there's more important things in life to concern me then whether we splash out millions on players.

We could even see this as an opportunity to fast track some of the under 23 squad, if we don't play them we'll never know if they're up to the task or not.

My biggest worry is SD decides he's had enough, he's one individual we can't afford to lose.

Dosent matter what league we play in proud to be a claret utc

I think there's a fair few on here who are saving up their outrage to use if Burnley take the knee. Dont want to waste it on having no players when their bigotry is under threat #BLM

Disappointment, frustration an eye brow raise or sigh maybe. Outrage is a bit OTT when we are in the top flight. Outrage was watching Paul Stewart not out a shift in.

You're a sucker for Capitalist hype and 'keeping up with the Jones's'.

Bayern Munich won their first Bundesliga title using only 13 players.

We have a settled squad.

Good.

It’s football, in the grand scheme of things it’s not that important. Outrage doesn’t come into it.

At least it’s not as bad as when Branch played CB

This thread will be a 20 pager by midnight

As long as the politics threads can continue all is well

I preferred Peter Swan up front

Never mind lads ...its better than being in the 4th division ....I love living in the past..so lucky to be in the prem ...spending bugger all on players...little old burnley

Frustrating

Pure outrage by Jimmy Dunne there.

I think I might go outside and push the wheely bin over to join in all this outrage.

Cheap shot but I suppose you had to get it in to support your agenda.

I think Branchy had eyesight issues.

I'd been fishing at Gawthorpe and was waiting for a lift, when Branchy drove out of the car park - straight over my foot.

I waa reminiscing about Harvey Barnes dad popping 5 past Stockport County.... Then looking at where we are now.

Outrage No
Frustration Yes

Will it affect me supporting the team I have followed (apart from teens to late twenties when Birds Booze and Bikes were more important ) from being an 9 year old in 1967 ... thats 53 years and counting

NO
