Paterson delivers message to fans after cutting down Coyle

7:35am Monday 20th August 2012 in Sport Photograph of the Author By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter

MARTIN Paterson celebrated a goalscoring start to the new Championship season in the derby win over Bolton Wanderers and told Clarets fans: ‘This one’s for you!’

It was once again an unhappy return for former manager Owen Coyle, whose current club was knocked out of the League Cup on his last visit two years ago.

This time, his newly relegated side were well beaten as Charlie Austin added the finishing touches to a 2-0 win at Turf Moor.

Almost 15,000 Burnley fans turned out to cheer on Eddie Howe’s men, and remind Coyle that they have still not forgiven him for jumping ship halfway through their ultimately doomed Premier League campaign.

A light aircraft flew over the ground, carrying the banner ‘Judas Coyle you reap what you sow’, while Coyle and his staff, including former Clarets captain and coach Steve Davis, were the brunt of boos and jeers from the stands.

But in the end celebrations took over thanks to a productive afternoon for the strike duo in their first league start together.

Paterson experienced the Coyle era, and the fallout when the Scot left for Bolton Wanderers.

But after scoring first in the 2-0 win over their Lancashire rivals, Paterson stressed the club had embarked on a new era.

“We were all disappointed at the timing of such things, but we’ve moved on,” said the 25-year-old who was signed by Coyle in his first summer.

He went on to score 19 goals to help the Clarets clinch promotion that season. But he believes current boss Eddie Howe to be an even bigger prospect than Coyle.

“I think possibly at the time the gaffer, Owen Coyle, was an up and coming promising manager. I think now if you ask the question who most big clubs would want I think, they’d want our gaffer over the last.”

Of the result, he added: “The Burnley faithful felt the manager that left had left them in a bit of a situation and to be fair they love their club, they are passionate about it.

“People in Burnley have only got Burnley Football Club. It’s not like an area like Stoke where they have two teams, they’ve only got Burnley and they support it with a passion and they love their club and it’s nice to get them a result that they really want.”

There was a suspicion of offside when Paterson put the ball in the net from Austin’s square header, but the former Scunthorpe striker said: “I’m not fussed. I couldn’t care less. As long as the linseman didn’t put his flag up I was happy to receive it.

“I should have probably scored another couple as well. I had little half chances and openings, but that will come.

“I’m delighted, I’ve started strong and I’ll look to carry on in that fashion.”

But despite the joy at an opening day win, Paterson said attention will quickly turn to tomorrow’s trip to Middlesbrough.

“The gaffer here is a perfectionist, I think he’ll be looking to the first five games,” said the striker.

“He’ll be happy about the first day but he’ll be looking for the next one.”

The Clarets are particular keen to improve their home form, after it became their Achilles heel last season with only seven wins in front of their own supporters.

Paterson was pleased to get off to a positive start, and insisted a big crowd and vibrant atmosphere, like Saturday’s, gave the players an extra boost.

“It does help. The more you cram in here the more it helps,” he said.

“It’s good the club got this many fans in and it’s good the fans came to watch this game. Due to who we’re playing possibly more came, but if I can encourage them all to come again – when this place is bouncing it’s intimidating, it really is. It’s a great place to play.”

No need to bother, here's your history in a nutshell.

Middling team treading water, at best, for years.

Local benefactor blows millions on buying a Championship.

Money runs out.

Back to mediocrity once more.

There you go. Hours and hours of boredom avoided!

Imagine that, a whole website dedicated to deadwood! There's a quiz on there posing tricky brain teasers for rovers fans such as:
When was the last time that there was a decent atmosphere there?
Who were rovers playing the last time you went to ewood?
Can you actually remember the last time you went to ewood?
Are animals allowed in the ground?
How much is it to get on ewood now then?
Obviously these questions are ageist as they are biased towards older rovers fans with a really good memory.

Nice comments Mr Paterson, it just a shame thats its lost on your supporters.
They are just obsessed with Blackburn Rovers. A piece by a Burnley footballer for its fans yet all the comments are about BRFC.
You call yourselves real fans yet its a Blackburn fan who's made the first comment about the actual article. Shame on you all. It just shows you all for what you really are. Any REAL Burnley fans out there or is it just the BRFC obsessed ones on here.
How embarrasing for you all, that these supposed BFC supporters represent your club, no doubt they will be a Ewood on Weds they are that obsessed.
What a set of muppets.

Here is a word for you flyboy - it is called 'irony' and no it doesn't mean to rid your clothes from the curse of creases. What it actually means is 'a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated. '

In other words - here you are on a story about Burnley FC, complaining that Burnley fans are obsessed with Blackburn? Do you get it? Do you see? Do you understand? Or would you like me to type it slower to aid your retarded mind?

Seems quite ironic (there's that word again) that Kermit the Frog is here putting you right about your very own muppet moment.

I'm sorry I think you've missed the issue. After 30hours since it went online there is not one comment from a Burnley fan about the article. Its all very embarrassing.Burnley fans = Apathy. One post ( now my 2nd and last) doesn't count as an obsession. Where as you and the Glentoran one are constanlty posting on Rovers issues. Now that is an obsession. I have friends who work at BFC and friends who are also Burnley supporters and when we meet we discuss football. Our own clubs and others.These thing happen in the grown up world. I was interested in what one of your Players had to say about the match, built up by all Burnley fans as a grudge match re:Coyle's return. so I read the article. I then expected to read comments about the game, about the mighty win from the Burnley fans ( you keep saying your the best) but all the discussion was about Blackburn. I found it all quite funny yet also a bit sad, again its quite embarrassing.Not one comment in connection with the article. I will mention it when Im next at your Club and maybe drum up some support for you and your friend. You know commrades on the front line. You all go on about how fantastic your support is, but its not really is it. Where is everyone? did any one go? Do you know who Paterson is? Its all very worring, or maybe there's an easier explanation? Maybe the majority can't use a computer that could be the reason. Now thats not a put down, thats down to the bad education system.
p.s Whilst at work I've just done a survey on the phone with customers and asked people the first thing that comes into their heads when I said Kermit the Frog and the 100% answer was MUPPET. So there you go. Any Burnley fans commented yet!!!! Are there any??? Is there anybody there??? See you Weds, MUPPET (as my customers would say).

Oh deary me.

Firstly - very few Burnley fans buy the 'Blackburn Telegraph' as the sports coverage is essentially Blackburn based and baised.

Secondly - have a look at ClaretsMad website (THE busiest and most popular board on the footymad network) if you care so much about a functioning BFC website and forum.

Thirdly - I think you will find that the first person who posted on this thread was a Rovers fan - hence the following posts giving Venkys FC some grief

So next time you are ringing your 'customers' and asking them such intelligent and thought-provoking questions, remind yourself - this muppet keeps outwitting you.

Fair play, you've won the FA cup a lot more than us although most of those came when God was a lad but you've only one more league title. That's hardly distinguished, is it? And let's face it, neither club will win it again anytime soon/ever.
Which of the two clubs has a better record in the European Cup? Clue: It's not rovers!
I'm not going to get involved with that "Our club's bigger/better than yours!" nonsense because it's entirely subjective but at least I know our history.
