Crying at football

[rachyblade]

no his little boy was singing it.... it was nice I can get very emotional, I've had tears in my eyes from many goals we have scored.

Back when I was 17 Sky caught me at the Wigan game... Truly horrendous.

Did you go to King Ecgbert?

 

[CrookesBlade]

Close to it a couple of times when I was younger. However, its happened far too many times to raise anything more than a 'meh' these days - semi final defeats (not even the chance to sample the final), play off final losing with the last kick of the game, derby defeats to the pigs after having 20 odd shots on goal, last day relegations.

Just carry on regardless

I certainly did

 

[metalblade]

I cried when Monty went to Millwall.................. Naaaah I'm lying but I'll certainly cry if he comes back LOL

 

[metalblade]

I remember a young kid rooering at a match once, his father said to him "if tha dunt shurrup tha gooin t Hillsbro next week" ............................. that smartened the little brat up

Having been present at every cock-up since 1968, I've never cried, but came pretty damn close after the Wigan game.

But I did cry when we played (pretty certain it was) Brentford in 1989. First home game after the Hillsborough disaster. None of these manufactured clappings/celebrations. Just music in the run up to kick-off. And then 'I Don't Want To Talk About It' by Anything But The Girl.

Many people around me on the Kop wept buckets, and so did I.

You are right,it was Brentford. Understandably there was a subdued atmosphere before the game and I remember just polite applause as the players came out. The' minute's' silence almost started then before the ref had blown his whistle and I'm sure during it,"you'll never walk alone" was played. A real lump in throat moment with many wiping a tier away where I stood on the Kop.

Sometimes you get someone coughing,a baby crying or being a drunken arse during these moments but not on this occasion . It was truley solemn.

Has nobody told you he's back then!?

 

[metalblade]

he will not play for us again hopefully

 

[davidpinder]

i nearly cried and the 1993 semi final i was 11, also very close when Chelsea sent us down i was at a mates so i ran all the way home gutted. I was more angry after the Wigan game rather then upset it kicked in later but didn't bring a tear.

> I will not sing the Boxing day song
but that is what 'defines' us as blades.. i don't see how the pigs can sing that song.. if you won then you wouldn't have to 'fight for evermore' surely?.. i still have my ticket stub .. framed.. i'm proud of it

 

[Coily]

I've never cried at football, or been close. And that's despite such delights as being sent down in the play offs by Piggy Shutt (with help from Paul Useless Twat Williams) and being sat on my own in the Chelsea end when Stein scored and having to feign happiness or run the risk of a good hiding.

The Wigan was bad, so bad in fact that I couldn't finish my tea.

Now this I don't understand. You take pride in our being hammered by those wankers and have framed the stub? It's like failing your exams and placing a notice in the paper in my humble estimation.

 

[super_pig]

it's more of an i was there .. and i'm still here sort of thing.. inverse snobbery.. i don't take any pride in being 'hammered' (it was one of those games.. they had four shots and all went in.. meanwhile we hit the bar and had one cleared off the line.. hardly hammered).. dunno about failing exams so i couldn't comment
touchy b**tards some of you

and being sat on my own in the Chelsea end when Stein scored and having to feign happiness or run the risk of a good hiding.

I was in the Chelsea end that day too. I was young at the time (only 13) but I distinctly remember the Chelsea fans feeling very sorry for us as everyone wanted Everton to go down that day. We didn't do a good job of disguising the fact we were Blades in the end. Most of their fans were talking about the cup final the following week, though as it happens they'd probably have not bothered after losing 4-0!

 

[Guesty]

I certainly did

I thought so, you were in the year below me! I remember seeing on you at TV after the Wigan match, by then I was in my first year at University though. I feel for you, having to carry the can at School!

 

[United Aren't Back.]

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 ?

No I haven`t. But in early Aug 1975, at home to Arsenal, my 11 year old eyes and ears saw a man bawling his eyes out after an abysmal 3 1 loss to Arsenal.
He must have cried a lot that season.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

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

Easter 1990 actually.And was it 4 0?

Crikey.
Just remembered that now.
I beefed on the John street terrace during youll never walk alone.
2 2 draw, kop correctly singing "we`re going up, we`re going up you`re not"to Brentford fans.

I soon wised up after a falling out with Miss Thomas, and left at the start of my second year of 6th form. 6 years was more than enough.
