I have no ambition to belittle you

that's the difference between you and me sunshine

Hilarious. Proof, if ever needed, that every position taken, by you any everyone else it seems, is nothing more than a rhetorical one which you pick up and put down when it suits.

You refuse to back up anything and just start spouting nonsense and get defensive at a nothing turn of phrase, I'm now 100% convinced you are a troll.

Spiral announced on a thread recently that he likes to take a dab of acid every now and then. Enough said.

[GetIntoEm]

Just tell us where the Mormons touched you @Spiral

[Corky]

As long as it doesn’t impact my personal life let them get on with it I say

But it does impact our lives and has done for a long time.

We have what is referred to as a Constitutional Monarch who is also the head of the Church of England. And as such we have almost 30 CoE Bishops in the House of Lords.

I thin that is wrong, others may disagree but to say religion does not impact our lives is inaccurate. When there is a disaster they invariably wheel out some religious type to spout his or her pious views on the matter as though they are the only ones who can do so. The rest of us clearly aren't worthy.

Some say ruined, some say improved by actually discussing / thrashing out topics rather than adding generic platitudes

[Clovius Boofus]

The sad thing is that we have a TV series that will give the club and our fanbase worldwide TV coverage, and on here we have a thread like this one - where the series has been pulled apart even before it has been aired. Embarrassing or what.

[martin_p]

I'm gonna pre-empt the use of the word 'waffle', which is basically the mark of anyone who has given up on trying to argue why I'm wrong.

You’re wrong because there’s virtually no evidence that you’re right. I could argue the documentary is about that woman in the last teaser and her mission to ensure all the tables are clean and I’d have as much evidence for that argument as you’d have for yours.

[NewClaret]

Could have something to do with the match footage maybe owned by sky

Good point

Not sure if it has been mentioned anywhere else but there's a good interview with Kompany in the Times today linked to this documentary

Did he mention being converted to Mormonism by any chance ... apparently according to some on here we will all soon be "members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints" if we watch it

Haha strangely he didn't. Quite a lot of focus on the influence of his parents and his MBA.

I don’t think anyone has actually claimed that the purpose of the documentary is to convert Burnley fans to Mormonism. Not sure why some people keep making reference to this.

That is the magic of the Mormon way though, it will happen and you won't even notice until you find yourself at Chorley station making your way to Latter Day Saints Church.

Was really looking forward to the documentary
Even more so now with the added bonus it hopefully stops some of the utter sh-ite posted on this thread.

Unless it’s replaced by said posters evangelising about the Mormon church.

In the grand scheme of things this thread is entirely irrelevant.

Mormons in my experience are a very decent lot.......

He's certainly having a laugh at this forum's expense.

It's remarkable how despite me having dropped references to me entertaining myself on different threads at different times, people's heads still combust when they see my name like they somehow aren't reading something that is part sincerely held belief/part creative writing exercise. I'm just trying to provoke people into thinking outside their settled ideas whenever I think those ideas are daft or not thought through very well, and the actual point is to be overbearing. That's not the same thing as trolling, or going out of my way to disrupt threads — for the most part I say my piece then there follows a dogpile which I respond to because I think it's funny and it's the forum equivalent of a mosh pit which is more fun than the 'what's your favourite biscuit' chat.

Spiral

JUST SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP FFS YOU'RE BORING

Okay then, your all-caps ejaculation (a very small ejaculation, it must be said) strongly implies that to be boring is not virtuous, and that implied concept necessarily presupposes its negation, that to be the opposite of boring is a virtue, so, aspiring no longer to want to be perceived as one who is boring, and therefore, to be perceived as one greatly endowed with virtue, I'll henceforth speak dingle in an attempt to ingratiate myself to the resident yokels, and start some chat about the kind of thing for which, it seems, everyone is really here: ee by 'eck by gum lad, what's your favourite gravy?

Choosing from the following options, how interesting do you find this question?

• Extremely boring

• Quite boring

• Neither boring or interesting

• Quite interesting

• Extremely interesting

I'm severely depressed actually. And that's not the kind of thing I'd joke or laugh about. I can't. Because I'm depressed.

The new documentary about the Bob Lord is coming out next week on Netflix it's working title is "Last of the Winter Bene"

[FeedTheArf]

I listened to the Turfcast podcast yesterday who were interviewing the producer of the documentary. They talked to him for around an hour and he didn't mention Mormonism once. What he did say was that because Dyche was resistant to the documentary and then left that they needed a character as a 'hook' to carry the story through. That person turned out to be Pace. Like it or not, a part of Pace's life is his faith (as it is for many people, whatever faith they choose), so will feature to a degree but I can't see it being a major part of the series, largely because the Burnley story of last season is that much more exciting than a bloke going to church.

[HahaYeah]

The attention seeker is backing down now and claims he was just 'entertaining himself'.

Trigger warning - contains the ‘M’ word.

[jedi_master]

Couple of queries, possibly nobody knows but wondered:

- Does this actually cover Dyche's sacking? I.e, were the cameras in at that point in time?

- Are they doing one for this season too?

[HahaYeah]

According to the Guardian article..

'..a four-parter that covers the sacking of Sean Dyche, relegation from the Premier League, Vincent Kompany’s appointment and Burnley’s Championship triumph.'

Turfcast has a good interview with the producer of the documentary.

Said that they were approached during Dyches tenure but he didn’t want to do it.

Once the decision was made to sack they moved quickly to get the cameras in. Said it was rare to have the perfect story arch of relegation and promotion in the same series

It makes sense in a way because the Dyche sacking was ballsy and could have gone completely the other way. Who's wants what could have had the potential to be their worst executive decisions documented on camera?

“To have people come up to the directors’ box on their way out and almost charge at the directors’ box, and yell and scream and tell you to F-off and go die, I don’t think people are really ready for that. I know I wasn’t,” Pace added.

“Then walking down the street and people are waving at you with one of their five fingers.

Five fingers?

He's laying it on a bit imo.

[Spiral]

I refuse to believe that anyone who sits in the Bob Lord stand has the actual energy to do anything that can be described as remotely resembling 'almost charging', or telling someone to f-off and die. Coked up lads in the CFS, absolutely, it'd be weirder if they weren't doing that, but in the BL stand? Nah. Some embellishment happening there.

[jedi_master]

Could I make a suggestion/request r.e the discussion of this doc?

There is EVERY chance I smash this in one sitting, but a lot won't or might do it over a couple of days or whatever. For the avoidance of spoilers would anyone else want to have an 'Episode 1' thread, 'Episode 2' thread and so on?

(Just putting this thought here to see what people think!).
