we must have the most fickle fans in the country

[pushpinpussy]

its really embarrassing reading this message board these days. the people who slag players off week in week out then the next week they are world beaters. i actually feel sorry for you. Get behind them all whatever their performance or form is.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Have you only just realised?

[Vegas Claret]

every single club is exactly the same, we aren't remotely close to the most fickle though

[pushpinpussy]

Have you only just realised?

i actually thought it was because of lockdown or the school holidays. then i have just realised lately that its a lot of sad old men with nothing better to do but argue rubbish and slag players off. I hardly read this board because of them.

[RalphCoatesComb]

Some folk will never be happy. They get off on being miserable !

[randomclaret2]

Human nature, eh ?

Not sure just how you can call our fans fickle when you've just said that you hardly read the board?

[NickBFC]

Football's a game of highs and lows - message boards are going to reflect that. Every single club will be the same.

Are you sure it is the same people?

"The Board" is not just one person but a whole range of people that have variant views.

Not sure about human nature but it’s certainly the way in Burnley and has been as far back as I can remember.

my loyalties are towards Burnley FC and the players. Not this message board.

Reading the Brownhill thread today, I did wonder if lockdown was having an adverse effect on some posters.

That's irrelevant. You say that you hardly read the board but you're able to decide from comments on the board that our fans are fickle!

[Jimmymaccer]

Sad old men!?

How very dare you!?

I’m not sad!

im not sure you understood my comment. ill rephrase it for you. I read it rarely because of them. I would use an emoji but my 4 year old tells me that its childish.

[basil6345789]

It's a tradition, going back generations - "Burnley Moaners"

A child tells you that it's childish?

Sunday drinking?

[Burnley1989]

People complaining after a defeat and complimentary after a win, that’s just football, every single club is the same, I read other teams forums and I don’t think we are anywhere near as bad as most

The irony of this post, when just a few days ago you came on a thread that I’d created and called me a prick for suggesting that Jay can get more out of Wood than Barnes. No explanation, just accused me of being a prick!

[ten bellies]

There are a few that love a bit of online drama and the disingenuous OP is a culprit, although he doesn't read it anymore, lol.

[burnley007]

Have an opinion. Never change
Remain happy in spite of any performance.

You are now a true fan, otherwise you're just plastic.

...apparently

[rufus lumley]

There are posters on here who only go to Turf Moor only when there team visit or have never been within 15 miles of the happy place..If they get a kick out of writing rubbish on this message board they are leading a very sad life.

Newcastle fans give any club a game

There was me thinking it was because you were spending Lockdown in Spain on the Costas by the pool (obviously that was until you got rumbled with your IP address by the mods)

[Funkydrummer]

I know quite a few supporters of other clubs and we are far from unique in this.

In fact, many say we are quite mild and understanding compared to a lot of fans of other clubs.

[bfcjg]

I'm not fick.

Yet you start a thread to slag off people who you've never met, who slag off people who you've never met on a board you hardly read because of the people you've never met, who slag off people you've never met ...

[timshorts]

You need to watch a few highlights from Arsenal TV/West Ham TV. London clubs fans know how to be fickle.

We are not fickle. We are whingers. If we were fickle, we'd not be here. We'd be supporting somebody at the top of the league that we think is better than everyone else, and then having Leeds and Celtic as our second teams. Or maybe, that'll be Rangers in a few months.

[tim_noone]

A Fine cast by the OP Its got to be said.

**** off

[Bosscat]

**** off

Well said Wellsy

[COBBLE]

Most fickle or not the dreary happiness sapping aspect is the fact that a very small number of posters dominate the board trying to impose their opinions. I do know a number of people who don't engage because of that. It ranges from foul mouthed idiots to intelligent informed folks who cannot deal with being challenged.

Who's we? You do know you're on a burnley message board?

[timshorts]

Yep. And we are whingers. Not fickle.

Its not like you have to read many threads to work that one out.

First paragraph was about your Newcastle comment. The second one was about us.

Sorry but I don't pay attention to the poster just the comments being written

This website is a running joke amongst most Burnley fans I know for being full of people who talk s**t. But then I go to games and see people slagging players off week in week out too so I’m not sure why on here would be any different.

Yes our fans are extremely fickle.

[timshorts]

I suppose it depends on the definition of fickle being used. If a club still has a strong and passionate support when they are rubbish, that keep going regularly, then they have, at least, a reasonably unfickle fan base imo.

So, I'd class burnley, Sunderland, Newcastle, the Sheffield clubs, crystal Palace, Portsmouth, West brom, plymouth as examples of "not fickle."

I guess there are some that have not been tested of late.

Villa, brighton, Watford, Reading and maybe Leeds would be in my fickle group, although I'm sure they all have a decent group that don't fit that description.

Birmingham have to be the biggest whingers in the country. It may be that everybody else can't compete with that accent, but I've never met one that wasn't. It's Almost as if they get off on the masochism that going to St Andrews provides.

Hi Tim,

I'll take back what I said about your fans in hindsight as fickle isn't the correct term so my apologies

[boatshed bill]

I love this post.

So you are in contact with "most Burnley fans", amazing.
But I would add: if you can't talk a bit of bullshit on an internet forum among like minded folk where do you suggest?

[Tribesmen]

Don't get too high don't get too low , hummmm did Sean say that ..................

He said most burnley fans he knows..... Not quite how you portrayed it.. Talk about twisting things to fit your views

Oh dear, pushpin, now look what you've done....

Typical, unfortunately

Look, it really isn't that important. xx

Only if you accept people making things up, I prefer the truth, but guess it's not that important eh?

[Stanbill05]

You want everybody to be rational at all times? Nothing wrong with some virtualised “kicking the cat” after a poor performance or being giddy after a good performance. All part of the fun.
