Fans at football

[Lander]

That cry, do times really get that bad?

Have you ever cried at the football?

 

[Drumstick]

Yes, not so much cry but there was a tear in my eye when I thought we went out of the play-offs to swindon.

 

[pasty]

3 times for me.

1. Wembley cup final defeat 1983
2. Italia '90 World Cup Semi Final
3. Last game at Goldstone

Just remembered, when we went out to Portugal in the last World Cup, there was a young lad in the pub with his dad, probably about 8 or 9 years old, bawling his eyes out. His dad put a fatherly arm around his shoulders, and uttered the imortal words......."We're England son. You'd better get used to this"

 

[Djmiles]

No cos I'm WELL 'ARD!

But seriously, no I haven't.

 

[sully]

I cried at Newcastle in 1979.

In my defence, I was just 16.


I often get emotional at good moments, but don't get too despondent when bad things happen.

 

[Hunting 784561]

I saw 18 stone tatooed millwall skinheads crying like girls after the Italia '90 semi final penalty shoot out, which was quite surreal.

But not me, oh no..

Hereford, slight lump in the throat.

1998 World cup defeat was my only tiime really. Last game at the Goldstone was very emotional but I was sober and kept myself together, the same cant be said for the penelty defeat in 98.

 

[clippedgull]

I had tears in my eyes when Dick Knight and Martin Perry came onto the pitch to rapturous applause after we had 'secured' Falmer in 05

 

[Yorkie]

I blub loads of times at matches. Then as a female I suppose I'm entitled.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Last game at the Goldstone, although I was forced ro watch it from above the East Stand.

A combination of touts, 'ground hoppers' (there were quite a few there, wanting to add the Goldstone to their list ) plus being a captain of my school 3rds, which got cancelled in the end, kept me out of the ground. Still, I have a piece of turf from the York City game

I felt a bit tearful walking round the Brightob museum and finding a Goldstone display with an old turnstile there...

The Storer goal always brings a lump to my throat. It is all there on youtube. The sheer passion shown by him... Brighton Legend!!

 

[Zesh Rehman]

When we went out of Euro 2000 after losing 3-2 to Romania i cried.

and nearly after last years champions league final (even though im not an arsenal fan) but its explainable
