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.
Take diverse opinions all day long but constant negativity aimed at anything Claret and Blue is just idiotic and attention seeking.
He lays into the players saying they arent good enough.Then he slags the manager off for being boring and not playing more expansive football.

It cannot be understated just what an achievement its been to keep this club in this division this season...How many Town clubs are their currently in the Top flight?
Our budget is ridiculously small.We have to use different methods and means to win points.We have learned the lessons from our last promotion.
And delivered top drawer performances this season.
The guy us now sulking when he should be enjoying the success.
The OP must be on a wind up or delusional if he expected anything more than what we have done this season.

Ive waited 40 years to see MY side taking on and competing with the big boys.Proud of the club,town and manager and thats part of the reason most folk on here are just fed up with the pr1ck and his posts.

yes Tinribs, good points, but you have no monopoly on loyalty to the club, manyfans have gone on over several years. Doesn't mean they have to be constantly gleeful and optimistic. I do a bit of both, sometimes ecsatatic, others no so, if I feel there is merit in criticism now and again, I'll post something. Don't forget, whilst it worked out fine and dandy, we were not far away from danger, as the season progressed, it was inevitable nerves would get the better of a few fans. If they see an issue with the team, then what better place to air it than a Burnley messageboard?
I don't read everything he posts, so I can't be certain some of it is not a wind up as you state, but my impression is he writes what he genuinely feels about the set up. Whether you agree or not is irrelevant, but surely he is entitled to post his thoughts. If you dont like it, then respond to more positive stuff elsewhere , there are plenty of so called happy clapper supporters who are so joyous about the entire club and all its delights.

Hi Tinribs :) I'm not going to either berate ABC or claim him to be the alternative voice which deserves to be heard. Like I posted earlier, I think he's as daft as a brush.

But the one good thing that comes from it all is that we do get well thought out posts like your's above.

In a way some good comes out of it. Unlike Saxo, who I wouldn't mind seeing binned.

Theres been many times this season when ive thought to myself.Whys dyche done that,whys he done this.Why did the changes not happen sooner.But i trust the guy and hes got us over the line...yet again.
Tell u what Boiled me and thee pal have been there when we were probably one of the worst sides in England.remember bussing it to stockport then leaving before game had finished to get home? I didnt know we had won till i got hone at 11.30 and checked ceefax haha....but i enjoyed that night as much as i enjoyed the 0-0 at old trafford.

I wouldn't use the word probably :) it was on it's arse. I remember that night and that era. If star asset Hoskin wasn't playing we were knackered, and we used to drink with him in the pub. That's how far removed we were from nowadays.

Some of the comments on here after the Bournemouth game left a bad taste. I said at the time that Wardy wasn't fully fit and looks to be carrying a strain but Dyche prefered him over Flanagan due to the two inexperienced CH's. Marneys crocked, Bartons gone and Defours not going to figure, so that just left Westwood and Hendrick in midfield.

With that being the case SD went for Arfield and Boyd to track back and tuck in. Dyche felt it was common sense and I'm not going to argue with it.

I saw the blog/vlog video on here and Burnley fans were singing in fancy dress after the cherries went 2-1 up. That's proper devotion, whilst people on here were whinging long before the final whistle.

Wood, trees and not being able to see far enough springs to mind. And no, that certainly isn't happy clapping.

I like Ablueclaret and his pontifications. However, when he writes like he has superior knowledge than Sean, he makes my blood boil.
