Can never remember being brought to tears at a blades match so really can't relate to People who do and I think supporting the blades and watching them lose some of the. Big games I have , the sight of that man city fan bawling his eyes out because they slipped into second place made me think of the most gutted I've ever been after a football match

Has to be after the Wigan game , I walked home in the rain got in bed with my clothes still on and didn't speak to anyone for 24 hrs

Anyway has anyone on here ever cried at a blades match ?
 



Nope - we are that used to it so it often comes as no real surprise.

Worst lows are BDM and Walsall

More stunned after Wigan than anything - thought we had enough to do it.
 
Boxing day. I was numb for days after and all i could see was Mick Speight hitting the bar first and Curran sliding on his knees and taking the most disgusting phlegms ever. I will not sing the Boxing day song as it just highlights their moment of glory over us.
Then 97 I think. Really thought we'd do it. Did not cry though.
 
Seeing grown men in their 40s and 50s crying on the kop after THAT Walsall game was witnessing the club at it's lowest. Closest I've ever been to tears at a football match, but if it didn't happen then, can't see it ever happening. Unless we ever get to an FA Cup Final, and I stand there at Wembley surrounded by Blades singing Abide with Me...Niagara falls, Frankie!
 
Never even been close to tears after a defeat. Take it on the chin and get on with it.

Almost tears of joy a few minutes after the end of the 3-1 at the sty when Davison had finally made up for Boxing Day and we were celebrating victory to the back drop of "We've beat the scum 3-1" and maybe before the kick off at Old Trafford before the Semi against the Arse. Proud moments.

As SEB says above . . . if I were ever there when we were singing AWM at the cup final that would be too much after a lifetime of wanting it to happen . . .
 
After all the last day and big game failures I've witnessed in 40 years I just laughed after Wigan.

Much more likey to shed a tear at success. Abide with Me before a United FA Cup final would have me in floods of tears if I was sober enough to know what was going on.

I had a brolly with me that day but left it under the seat and was too grumpy to go back for it despite the rain. Just wanted to walk away from the scene of the crime.

Oh, and I cried when we lost 3-2 at Norwich in the cup in 1988/1989.

In all likelihood Tunsy you would need a season ticket to get a cup final ticket? Suppose the allocations are pretty big these days so a bit of camping overnight at BDTBL and you would probably manage it.
 
Anyone over the age of 12 who cries at a football match needs to have a word with themselves. I did take myself to bed at about 6pm after our 5-1 defeat at Leeds at Easter 1991 in our promotion season in a fit of depression.

Like others have said if we ever get to an FA cup final I might shed a tear during the singing of Abide With Me in memory of my dear old dad
 
I think the first time I cried was when England lost 3-2 to West Germany in the 1970 World Cup (Gary Lineker admitted years later he cried too after that match when interviewing Gerd Muller). I think the first time I cried in relation to Blades matches was when we lost 2-0 in the FA Cup at Fratton Park in January 1971. My dad had to keep telling me that promotion is a far bigger priority than a good run in the FA Cup.

I think the next time I cried was at Old Trafford when George Best scored the 1st goal for Man U in that match 9 months later. I cried again the following week when we lost 3-2 at home to Stoke, and cried again in the next game (lost 3-2 at Southampton). My dad threatened not to take me to any more away games if I cried again. I promised not to cry in the next game and kept my promise when we lost 2-1 at Man City. My dad thought I had "grown out" of crying if we lost but he was wrong when we lost 3-1 at home to Cardiff in the FA Cup tie in Jan 1972 (Ted Hemsley laughed when my dad told him at a pub in the next day). i think the next one was when England could only draw 1-1 against Poland in October 1973 (I was at that match in Wembley and i was expecting TC to play in the 1974 World Cup finals). I think the last time I cried was when the head Boy at my boarding school told me that we could only draw 0-0 at Birmingham in 1975 in the previous night (at that time we all thought the Blades would qualify for the UEFA Cup if we had won at Birmingham)
 
Felt close after the defeat to Wigan. Even today I still have images of Webbers chip hitting the post. Never actually cried though. I also question some players that appear to be crying after matches. If they are boyhood players of the club, then I can sort of undserstand it. But players signed 2-3 years previously, who have their Ferrari's to comfort them, makes me wonder what their crying about.
 
never cried, not at boxing day as a kid or walsall felt shit on both occaisions and until we spank wendy 4-0 (prefrably at the theater of rust) i'll see that as unfinished biz.
walsall i just felt angry and as stated that in my life time has got to be the lowest ive felt, even the wigan game it was just "oh shit" because this is the rollercoaster that is S.U.F.C.

Camped out many times for tickets Mic (even when I was a True Blade) but given our rate of shedding ST holders with our painfully backward sales and marketing techniques - I don't think I'll ever have a problem getting a big match ticket which come to think of it is one of the few big plusses of the club's decision to accept losing half of its ST holders in a few years.

Besides I've racked up a few points this season on the cheap ticket deals which apparently we don't do any more.

Cheap ticket deals ? I'm not a ST holder but have gone to most home games and apart from the £2 off for members,and the usual 3 'cheap' games,the only ticket 'deals' i can think of were for the 3 home games over Christmas and this Sun deal which most clubs participated in. Have I missed something?

More pissed off than upset when we got relegated or lost in a final.

But i agree with others that being at the cup final with The Blades singing Abide With Me might be the moment when the eyes may water

Apologies for the pedantry ;). Listened to that one on the radio, stunned and certain we'd blown it...

For me just the once. May '88 against Bristol City in the relegation playoff. I'd started supporting United in the lower divisions and seen us drag ourselves back, only to go down again, as an 11 year old I remember being so gutted in the car on the way home.

Brian Deane signed soon after and all was well :)
 
Came very close during the Wigan game after Webber hit the post, just watching our nearly men let the long awaited return to the premiership slip away. Mainly after a childhood of having Sunderland in the premiership for so long it was finally there for us, for a season. Felt so dejected afterwards i decided to drink myself to sleep.........



in a patch of grass next to some flats a mate of mine lived at.
 
Cried in 1979 but I was only 7 and my Wednesdayite Grandad, (RIP) was taking the piss...!
Cried on 15th May 1984 when after taking an early 2-0 lead against Burnley, Hull just couldn't find a third and the Blades went up on goal difference from Div 3.

After that I've lost count of the times I wanted to cry but the anger and frustration of being a regularly dissapointed Blade took over!
 
Welled up a bit at the Wigan game, I honestly believed we were gonna do it and stay up. Last season I think we all knew what was happening, just took it on the chin and now we're on our way back!
Losing to Wolves in the play-off final, 12 years old, 6 hour train journey from the Lakes, felt sick, felt shite after that.
Still could be worse, could be second in the league to Man Utd, imagine that, think I'd flood Manchester...
 
I will admit to a bit of a cry at the Wembley semi....but it was pure emotion, once when the team came out and secondly when Corky scored.

It was my childhood dream to be at the twin towers when MY TEAM came out. Never thought I would see it happen.
 
I can understand tears of happyness and kids or even women crying but grown men crying at football games to me seems a bit like people lining the streets of London for princess di's funeral

All a bit false and forced for me I've seen us lose plenty of big games and not cried , sure I've got the strop on or got bladdered but cry ? Over a football team ? Never
 
Only time i've ever cried as an adult was after the Wigan game.

I remember it hammering it down, and it all happening in slow motion. When we went a goal down i knew it was gonna happen from thereon in. Felt fucking numb afterwards.
 
After the 1993 semi final, I was 8 and cried on the walk back to the tube after the game. Since then I've not cried, although I'll admit to a blurring of vision when the full time whistle went against Forest in the play-off semi at the Lane
 
I cried when Warnocks kid sang Greasy Chip Buttie Song in front of the Kop, I cried at home after play off final v wolves as had to come back to partys in the street, and i cried from anger after the Wigan game.

My brother cried at Burnley Play off final lol and that was before we even kicked off lol and he was 40 odd.
 
I was very proud of the boy after the Wigan debacle. He was 11 so tears were a worry but when i heard "could be worse, they could have scored the winner in the last minute" I knew my lifetime's work was done.

Warnock singing GCB in front of the kop, are you sure you wasn't crying through embarrassment?
