    Thank God you never had to stand in the pi$$ing rain for 7 minutes while the VAR team argued about whether Jay Rod's toenail was offside. We were denied two stonewall penalties this VAR malarkey is completely ruining the game.

    I will not be attending any more away games this season and please do not claim I am not a "true fan". I pay for 5 season tickets every season come rain or shine, my youngest grandson is a very unhappy Junior Claret (he would rather be winning in the Championship) but just what is going on in the heads of Pace and Kompany God only knows.

    BT, I have made no secret of the fact that, along with the transfer window, VAR is the worst thing to be introduced into football.
    However, it is no good moaning about being stood in the rain while VAR is being used because, sadly, it isn't going to get any better.

    Your choice not to attend any more away games and it is also your choice that you pay for 5 season tickets, however, as a fan, don't moan about the fact that you have travelled to support your team playing in the Premier League (supposedly, the best Leagu in the world). Just accept it as being part of supporting the Clarets and get on with it --these are halcyon days and you are being entertained every week and our games have been averaging over 3 goals per game, which is what football is all about.
    Fans moaned like hell about Sean Dyche and the lack of goals in matches and now they are still not happy. Last season there were only 2.65 goals per game scored in our 46 league matches ----far more this season, must be good.

    Watching the Clarets getting hammered week in, week out is not my idea of "halcyon days" Supersub6. Watching Everton grind out a narrow 1-0 win at West Ham yesterday orchestrated by Sean Dyche is more my cup of tea.

    My lad asked the question to a group of Burnley fans in the hotel late Saturday night, "do you think Dyche would keep us up with a spend of £140 million?"

    The general consensus was, "Are you mad, of course he would".

    Surely, as a football fan, you want to see goals being scored and that is what is happening regularly with the Clarets' matches.
    Goals bring entertainment and that is what our fans were all moaning about with Sean Dyche's brand of football and were pleased that we got rid of him.
    Great season last season under a new manager has soon been forgotten, even though he managed to gain promotion to "the best league in the world" according to many, therefore, these are indeed halcyon days because the club is playing at the peak of world football ----aren't they? In addition, fans are able to see lots of world class players that they would only see on TV.
    Tell your grandson that he should enjoy watching these star players while he can because it won't last.
