Did you cry yesterday?

[Seagull]

Did you cry a tear or two as the teams came out after that brilliant emotional build up? And if not why not? I guess you are excused if not actually alive on 26th April 1997.
I confess to blubbing the salty rivers of ultimate redemption

 

[timco]

Yes

 

[Worthai Seagull]

Yes for sure...it was truly emotional..the whole day ! And one never to be forgotten

 

[Deleted User X18H]

The flags got to me.

 

[Bozza]

Like a great big girl, yes.

 

[Fergus96]

Very eloquently put. Nice.

 

[Questions]

I did................ there was no Hophead.

The spurs game helped me build up some defence against a salty discharge (tears that is, not sperm). But afterwards I strolled around the North stand concourse reading the quotes and looking at the pictures and that was pretty emotional. But the celebrations to the two goals I had to say took me back to the Goldstone. Thought i would cry but just felt sheer elation.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Yes.

 

[Hillian1]

Yep,

When I saw my daughter in her wedding dress for the first time, It was that moment I realised missing the first game was insignificant compared to this day.

 

[kjgood]

Yes had tears in my eyes as i walked up the ramp from the station, couldnt help it!

 

[Stumpy Tim]

The flags got to me.

NO. Chest puffed and proud as f***. Crying at football is a no no.

because you are a JCL??

Joking aside at the age of 50 I did not cry like a baby but had very wet eyes...

 

[southern_sid]

At a birth?? That's time to be proud and supportive you big wooftah - thunderous singing of staunch never-say-die heart-rousing defiance and redemption after 15 years of being beaten down by the shameless - tears can now seep from eyes that have burned and yearned to see that moment, and still feel blinded by the incredible beauty of our unbelievable resound and rebound.

Who felt the pound of their heart like a surging dam that's been holding back a deep lake of stilled heavy waters, and let some of those soulful droplets overflow off the parapets to join with the relieving torrents that gushed delightedly with the freedom from valves once tightly and too-long shut?

We are walking from the gates of Mordor, with the ring now melted into the lava deep in the mountain of Doom. As if Gollum and Sauron could be seen to shrivel before us, we can let go of tears and face a fair future where winning and losing is acceptable parts of participating on an even playing field with fellow sportsmen.
REVEL in this, embrace with hearts and minds that we made it!

Laughing or crying, it's certainly not "weird"

The flags - along with the "highlights" from history on the big screen/over the PA were just incredible. Thought I'd be fine in the tears department, then my Dad told me how proud it made him that I chose to be an Albion fan (I don't remember him telling me that when I graduated...) - that tipped me over the edge and I certainly welled up...
