Baywing 0 Posted January 21, 2017 I have followed our football club home and away (on and off, obviously kids mortgage work has intervened at times) for 40 yrs.I have always woke on a Saturday morning full of excitement hope and optimism....and yet today I feel consumed with hatred and anger before I even finished my breakfast.What has happened to me.....why has the fun from my football disappeared ?

Barclay seats 4849 the 3rd 0 Posted January 21, 2017 I think your problems run deep my friend ... seek help soon . At the same time ,, I can empathise to a degree. Same thing 40+ years, and I feel less than excited on match day 😏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barclay seats 4849 the 3rd 0 Posted January 21, 2017 Trepidation , that''s what I feel . Not sure wether to obey Morty and swerve the match or LDC and give myself bronchitis and stress fractures to my hands from shouting and cheering too much 😬 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,283 Posted January 21, 2017 Yep feel pretty much the same so I''m happy that my two returns were ticked at the bottom of my renewal form, cancelling my tickets.Have to say I had a fantastic walk with the dog down the beach, relaxed and looking forward to jumping in the car and heading into the city in ten minutes.As for the football it''s not my priority anymore so as !Morty said don''t go see if you miss it or not!

Catch the train and get lubricated in the Queen of Iceni pre matchAfter all beer goggles worked wonders in my youth convincing me the ugly fat bird at the bar was indeed a super model....Perhaps they can transform AN into PL this arvo.Thanks Morty ;) just in case things go wrong though has anybody got the Samaritans number handy ? could be a bot risky being anywhere near a traintrack post match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FenwayFrank 2,456 Posted January 21, 2017 I think a fair number of us are a similar age and have been going to carra rud for some time.

AJ 1,218 Posted January 21, 2017 It is strange how things can change - a couple of wins on the bounce and I''m sure the excitement will be back. I think the problem lies at the moment we just don''t know what kind of performance to expect, even at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
