I think whether people decide to leave early or not is no ones buisiness but those concerned. I wonder why people pay 25 notes only to watch a bit of the game but that is entirely up to them. It doesn't effect me - I will get behind the team whatever. I love it when teams come back from 3-0 down and always have a laugh at the prople that did leave in a fit of pique.
I think some people overlook the fact that some people have a life outside football - there might be plenty of reasons why someone needs to make a sharp exit (going out for supper in the evening etc., nans 80th or whatever) when its clear the team haven't put in the same effort to the afternoons preceedings that you have put in supporting the team. Some times its is totally apparent that a great come back just is'nt going to happen.
And then theres what happened to Turkey last night. Lives a fair distance away, was obviously looking forward to the game, team were shite, getting stuck in the queue after the game and getting back on hour or so later when most of you lot would have been safely tucked up in bed... well dont balme him really. Staying would have only compounded a crap evening. Fair play to him for making the effort to come from where he did.
People should just mind their own business and if they are such "superfans" they should just focus 100% on supporting the team.

It's for that reason I find it pretty funny, though.
Next time, have a good look at the people who make such self-conscious exits.
They slowly get up, they jut their chin out, they have an expression on their face like they've got something wedged up their arse, and off they self-consciously flounce, giving their personal message to the world that they are oh-so-above a bad display by their team.
