After final whistle today

[Claretmutt]

Wondering how many fans will stay behind today
to applaud players.Even after a terrible season .
On a personal note I will.

[fidelcastro]

Don't know, but I bet a few numpties still run onto the pitch.

[Barry_Chuckle]

I would but it takes then an absolute age to come back out so I'll be off, I have a long drive home without waiting for ages listening to that goon on the microphone padding it out.

[bodge]

Let's hear it for BURNLEY.

[Goliath]

It depends on how we play probably. If we win 3 0 more will stay

[Rouwens_Weapon]

We are just seconds away!

[beddie]

It’s a shame that people have to run on the pitch otherwise the players after shaking hands with the opposition could just walk round the pitch at that point to thank the supporters, all done in quick time.

[Ptangyangkipperbang]

Apart from the old stalwarts leaving there is nothing to applaud for this season

[Burnleyareback2]

Hoping it’s a great turnout for the lap of the pitch after the game.

Should mean I can get home quickly and be back in the garden with a glass of wine.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

It would be nice if people stay to see off Cork and JBG (and maybe Jay Rod and Taylor). Nothing to else to really applaud this season.

If we go 3-0 down it will be a graveyard though.

[jrgbfc]

I'll probably stay, but if they take forever to come back out as usual i'll be off to the pub.

[dougcollins]

Let's hear it for BURNLEY.

Should never have ousted Ian Bannister, he gets the club.

He just reads out the HT birthday sh!te now.

[IanMcL]

Got to be straight after and the cheering will be for the old guard, who have all earned their Clarets spurs.

Up the Clarets.

[Awayfromburnley]

I've not gone today.

We have been dire and I can't be bothered

[Goalposts]

Thankfully in some respect has been my grandsons christening today , so whatever happens it will be special for me. Just seen the updates though on the score …. Let’s just get the players on for recognising their service and move on

[AmbleClaret]

Be no-one left in at this rate.

[fidelcastro]

So how did the lap of dishonour go?

I admit I couldn't be arsed to stay.

[ClaretTony]

I stayed to the final whistle but that was it for me - enough was enough

[GetIntoEm]

So how did the lap of dishonour go?

I admit I couldn't be arsed to stay.

Bit half arsed, just like most of the season. I think initially they'd planned on walking off, but then decided to come back

[claret10]

Should never have ousted Ian Bannister, he gets the club.

He just reads out the HT birthday sh!te now.

He won't even be doing the half times next season - they mentioned at half time that he is retiring. I remember his voice even from when I was a kid!

[fidelcastro]

I stayed to the final whistle but that was it for me - enough was enough

I suppose I should have stayed to applaud off JBG and Cork, but this season has been so depressing, I just wanted to get out of there as soon as the final whistle sounded.

The game was as good as over after fifteen minutes, so I did well to last so long.

[bfcjg]

First time in watching Burnley for 50 plus years I've walked off at the final whistle on the last home game
I cannot clap that pathetic bunch of lightweight half hearted bunch of tippy tappy mercenaries.

[bobinho]

Final whistle for me. As for waiting the usual 20-30 minutes for them to reappear? Yep, fair enough if they’ve just won the league, fair enough if they’ve even made a fist of it and gone down fighting, but what we have been subjected to has been shocking. They don’t deserve a “lap of honour” and anyone at the club who suggests otherwise needs potting.

[wilks_bfc]

I think it was more the case of them going to get their kids to join them

[Mondsley]

Final whistle for me also. I did give a standing welcome to Corky, JBG and J Rod. But I wasn't prepared to stay and applaud mediocrity. This was my 63rd season watching this fantastic club but never have I seen only 2 home wins. Abject. With apologies to T S Eliot, this is the way the season ends, not with a bang but with a whimper. But I'll be back next season!!

I wish that bell end with the microphone would retire/ get finished. “ LETS HEAR IT- FOR BURNLEEEEEEEEE”. Do we really need that?

[Elizabeth]

Any idea the club might have had that Burnley fans can have the wool pulled over their eyes is dead.
This is now a stand off

[Silkyskills1]

Best part of the day was seeing and listening to Dobbo at half time. Articulate and charming. Well done, Dobbo.

[Vegas Claret]

This is now a stand off

what on earth does that mean ?

[Cirrus_Minor]

I stayed until the match was over then couldn't get out fast enough.

[Robbie_painter]

Don't know, but I bet a few numpties still run onto the pitch.

This aged well,lettuce.

[Ightenhill_Claret]

Stayed to the final whistle, clapped the lads but then headed back home.

Highlight was chatting to ClaretTony pre-game!

[Luppy]

There were more stayed behind than I thought there would be - I stayed to applaud the lads leaving more than anything

[mikeS]

Kompany should get ten games in the Championship to show that his 'project' is back on track.
Anything less than top six and he should be replaced.

[Winstonswhite]

They don’t deserve a “lap of honour” and anyone at the club who suggests otherwise needs potting.

They had to endure a little speech by Kompany for two minutes then did a quick lap of honour. It was over by five past six.

CFS gave JBG and Cork a little send off then I thought that’s enough with the ground virtually empty.

[redwasp]

That must be the first time that nobody has tried to go on the pitch at the final whistle.

[bfcjg]

That must be the first time that nobody has tried to go on the pitch at the final whistle.

The highly paid players looked as though they didn't want to be on the pitch as well.

[Murger]

I applauded Cork and JBG, the rest of them can feck right off.

[fidelcastro]

This aged well,lettuce.

Did it?

Says it all when even the numpties can't be bothered to have their annual pitch invasion.

[Bosscat]

Stayed for 10 mins and applauded Jay Rod, Jack C and Guddy etc off the pitch.

[jedi_master]

I couldn’t leave quick enough when the final whistle sounded. I stood and applauded our ‘proper players’ who are being released as and when they were subbed on, that was enough for me. Absolute shite today. We had nothing to play for but we played like we had less than nothing to play for.

You'll not be back next season then?

What do you mean by "proper players"

[Buxtonclaret]

Did many stay back?

[Juan Tanamera]

I would but it takes then an absolute age to come back out so I'll be off, I have a long drive home without waiting for ages listening to that goon on the microphone padding it out.

Even after a good season like we had in storming the championship, that clown was still grinding my gears.
It's nigh on impossible to have a chat about the game at HT with Mr Shouty on PA.
"Make some noise"
He certainly follows his own advice.

[GetIntoEm]

Did many stay back?

Less than half I'd say

[Elizabeth]

what on earth does that mean ?

I wondered if that was a rhetorical question but as you've put a question mark I'm assuming you want a response. Yes or No ?

[GetIntoEm]

He wants to know what you mean. Who's having a stand off?

[Bosscat]

Did many stay back?

50%+ I reckon

[Goliath]

50%+ I reckon

I left about 5 minutes after the final whistle. There was about 20 percent of Burnley fans left in the ground.

I like to read Vegas' posts so forgive me if I can give my comment more context when he responds
