Tears

Official Old Man · Dec 18, 2016

'79 was massive for me. 24 years old and had been to nearly every home and away for 5 seasons. On that day in May up at Newcastle I consumed a lot too much alcohol.
At Birmingham, as that late winner went in, I stood and bawled my eyes out. Tears gushing down my face. As I looked around I could see others wiping away a little droplets as well.
God help us if or when the inevitable happens, we're all going to have an emotional breakdown.

Reached sixty this year and I find myself reminiscing a bit too much lately

I've got into more trouble in the last five years than in the previous forty

If you didn't care so much then you haven't been there in the first place so nothing wrong with that.

I think this class of 2016-17 are a really special group and that includes the fans enjoying it too.

As I posted on another thread . . . not since Plymouth away (promotion day) whe I stood with my lad on the terrace, have I had 'something in my eye' at the football.... and I was watching yesterday's game on the tellybox! Goodness knows what it will be like if we cross the line this season (and if, unlike yesterday, we actually play well on the day). Anyway, you're even older than me, so pull yourself together, you great big wet lettuce poof! :wave:

I'm ahead of you on that one - years I mean! The passion doesn't die but just make sure the trouser department has behaved itself!

What is it with this emotional out pouring at the drop of a hat (or a stoppage time winner). Where has the stiff upper lip gone surely not consigned to to history.
Yes go bananas when we win in the fashion that we did yesterday but please no tears. What would the children think about grown men crying.

LowKarate · Dec 18, 2016

It's a special season. Just enjoy it regardless, as we know that very few seasons will be like this one.

Yesterday was not the best performance for almost 70 mins (and Birmingham playing reasonably well was part of that), but the competitive spirit in the squad is stronger than I've seen since the Adams era and they look like they want to play for the fans, the manager and each other and that is going to make a lot of difference come May.

March coming back so strongly is superb. From the minute he came on he had the beating of Birmingham's players and made it look effortless going past some of them. If he can stay injury free now, we have got one hell of a team.

Return of the Rev · Dec 18, 2016

If we miss out this season think of the meltdown,could see a few of the older fans off tbh!

Either way i think a big box of tissues under each seat would be wise

Agree. Pathetic really. I suspect it's another symptom of the narcissistic society we've become.

swindonseagull · Dec 18, 2016

Im away on hoilday last week of March to second week in April, ( missing 5 games)I dont know if I want us to go up early and miss it or wait until the last 2 games when Im back.

yep ..... same here. Since 1979 I have been building up an emotional outpouring that may reach a peak next May. Last time I wept over the Albion was at the 1983 Cup Final....
