[Football] Crying over football/sport

[Frutos]

I did shed a tear after the Wigan game.

Partly because we got promoted and partly because it was my last game before moving away and so I knew my last time at the Amex for months, if not longer (I've only been to one game there since).

 

[Brovion]

Yeah. Moist eyes and a lump in the throat - many times. Full-on crying over football - never

 

[McTavish]

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet...

 

[neilbard]

I cried last night when I saw the team sheet

I cry every fecking time I see the team sheet..

 

[Official Old Man]

As my Daughter said as we walked across the pitch that night, "Dad, I think you have something in you eye". A grown man sobbing his heart out in front of his kid.

I cried when the Amex opened and we played our first league game. After all the demonstrations, posting postcards, sending flowers, delivering leaflets for the Seagulls Party, sit ins at Wycombe, buying dvds of attila, and sitting in atrocious weather at Withdean, we'd finally come home.

Yes that was my feeling now I’ve never felt so distant from the club, they literally don’t give a shit about any of us fans from the old days and would happily replace us all with newbie families spending £100 a game.

An old saying never knock those who supported you on the way up because your definitely going to need them on the way down. And then Barber stepped in....

I cried when we beat Plymouth to get promoted from the bottom division. Punched my hand in the air, smacked the light fitting. F*cking hurt.

 

[Petunia]

I cried at the opening game at the Amex and many around me did too!

I also cried at my last game (the last game in the Championship on 30th April 2017) before moving Downunder and got a massive hug from Peter Ward

Rest assured I will cry at my first game in the Premier League when I manage to get there later this year

I will sure as hell cry if my next game is in the Championship

Yes but you’re a GIRL so are entitled to. But if you’re a MAN...

Men should cry too, and there would be less suicides.

 

[pasty]

Football has made me get something in my eye 4 times.

FA Cup replay 1983
World Cup semi-final 1990
Last match at Goldstone
First match at Amex

 

[Rogero]

I cried over some spilt milk once but it was no use.

The thing is, that's not really crying over football or sport. It's crying over years an years of hard work and stress finally coming to fruition. That's very different to people crying because their team has been relegated or has won the cup.

 

[Roddy]

Men let things build up - work/family/finances/footy - until the fookin flood barriers open. A good cry and a decent drunken night with your closest mates and you can reset - steel yourself and get on with carrying the load. Men and their ability/necessity to carry the universe on their shoulders is criminally underestimated.

Spot on, well said.

 

[getreal1]

Nearly cried at the Goldstone in the 70s when I was busting for a leak at half time and saw how long the queue was (and obviously the smell of the Chicken Run bogs would make you cry anyway).

 

[GloryDays]

If I’m really hungover and watch athletics I might well up.

No idea why.

 

[Exile]

On MOTD last night the camera zoomed in on a Bournemouth fan CRYING because his tinpot mid-table team were 4-1 down, in a standard league game at Arsenal.

WTAF?

Not at football. Men crying at football is pathetic. Especially those X factor fake tear types.

Confess I laughed at the Havant and Waterlooville kid in the crowd on MOTD a few seasons ago when the Bindipping Victims beat them 4-2. What was he expecting?
