Tears

[crasher]

I'm getting irritated with these endless shots of fans crying as their team gets relegated.

FFS - does it really bring you to tears? Leeds, for instance, have been relegated fairly regularly. You think they'd be used to it.

I like to think I'm as passionate about the Albion as any of them but I don't cry when we get relegated. I genuinely think they just do it to get on telly because they know that's what TV directors are looking for.

Bring back the days when relegation meant a firm manly clap on the back from your mate and smashing up a railway carriage on the way home.

I have to admit I cried at Plymouth when we realised that other results had gone our way, and we were promoted from third to second division.

 

[Silver flying chariot]

yeah but no offence you are female. Most of them cry watching eastenders!!!!

 

[the full harris]

have to say, it is annoying when you see fans crying when their team has just missed out on WINNING the league (like when Arsenal threw it away a couple of seasons ago. That really pisses me off! They don't know how lucky they are!

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Football's brought me to tears on more than one occasion - and if we'd lost at Hereford, I don't doubt that that would have been another occasion.

yes, but that would have been a real reason to blub your eyes out and i would have joined you.
missing out on WINNING the PREMIERSHIP is NOT!!

 

[alan partridge]

i agree its kind of fashionable on sky over the last 5 years or so

thought the guy blubbing his eyes out to 'abide with me' (southampton fan) was hilarious though

 

[magoo]

who can honestly say they won't shed a tear or two at our first game at Falmer?

:falmerspi

I am also female but I never cry watching Eastenders - I often have an overwhelming urge to shoot myself though. I cried when we were relegated so I think it is reasonable for Leeds fans to cry.

Oh yeah, I really wish those days were back. Prick.

 

[smudge]

Ooooh, bit harsh!

I'd hoped you might have had your irony detector switched on. Obviously not.

I know what you mean there Spicy! I didn't cry when we were relegated, I seem to rememeber being gutted for about a month afterwards then slowly accepting it and starting to look forward about getting promoted again. Thinking about the Goldstone does make me cry and I think the first game at Falmer will probably have me shedding a few tears, realising that the whole nightmare really is over.

I thought that little Leeds kid looked genuinely scary - five going on sixty five. Like one of the Krankies or something.

When we was in the old first division between 79-83, I went to watch the mighty Albion at white hart lane in the 83 season. We took 4,000 and the atmosphere was second to none. I was a young lad then and when Michael Robinson scored our winner I cried. I knew then that I was in love with the albion. It's not sad, Football is some peoples life's and some not.

 

[bhaexpress]

Football is just a game. I am sick and tired of seeing pictures of fans blubing because they have dropped a division (especiallly if they are from Yorkshire).

Get over it, you tried and failed, did any Leeds fans give a damn when we went down last year ? I bet most don't even know we exist.

 

[Reading Posh]

I've seen Posh relegated three times, it's sickening not tear-jerking.

And I was absolutely gutted when we missed promotion to the old second division on goal difference in the 70s.

I didn't realise how gutted until Mick Halsall lifted the play-off trophy at Wembley and Posh were into the first division for the first time in their history - I wept.

 

[Soton Seagull]

I couldn't beleive that Leeds fans were laying flowers at their ground today. FFS, get a life!

Some brighton fans might be laying flowers if we get the knock back for Falmer.

Will you say that about fellow seagull fans?

I was there, but I had to keep a lid on it as I was with a mate who supports the Front Wheels & we were in the shelf!

I can confirm that it was a fantastic sight seeing the Albion fans go balistic when Robbo netted right in front of them!
