I think most fans know the score, they know we can't play PL teams off the park, but they accept it's not particularly good to watch, they'll moan about it afterwards in the pub or on msgboards, but they don't get on the team's backs at a game.

Do you seriously believe that say Me or Norder or Alto or Army, or anyone on here who might be critical of any aspect of the club would go on Turf Moor and spend 90 minutes booing and jeering ? If you do 59, then you don't know much about us Burnley fans. Do you think 18,000 Burnley fans all walk off Turf Moor after every game pleased with what they've seen ? Of course they don't, they know what they're seeing, and why they're seeing it, when we don't play well all you can hear as you walk off are numerous comments of the likes of 'What a bag of ****e that was', just like you get on here.

I often think msgboards are a good thing in that they allow fans to let off steam, have a good moan, when they're not happy about something, better to get it off your chest on the internet that get on the player's backs during a game, that's how it works for me anyway, and I'm sure most others.
Well put Sir!
