I'm starting to find the stress quite concerning during games and often think I should turn it off. Just wondering if others suffer the same.
If we can't beat M'Boro, we don't deserve our place at the table, and would have had little chance of progressing through the play offs. I'm City daft, but I'm fairly relaxed about it all. It's a bit like having a raffle ticket, hoping I/we win, but not really expecting to (as regards promotion). If most City fans are honest they'd probably give us less than a 1 in 5 chance of making the final and winning it. Let's just hope we can somehow do something unexpected.Define "older" I'm 46.
My stress levels have been through the roof really, from prior to WBA.
It has affected sleep, my toilet habits and I am a very calm and measured person generally, but when we conceded on Saturday, I found myself smashing my hand into the kitchen worktop repeatedly in frustration - can't remember ever doing that before...
I have played football.
I have worked for football clubs
I have worked with ex professionals, coaches and managers that have worked at the highest levels.
I know what is on the line (not saying anyone else doesn't- just in context to stress), how rare it can be for a club like ours to be in positions such as this.
How important it is.
Despite all of this - I just still can't understand how and why Collins has been picked when he has. I just can't.....
For me, this is going to be a long week.
Everyone.saying, yeah we'll beat Middlesbrough -
But everyone was saying, yeah - we'll beat Plymouth/Luton.....
We have no devine right to do so and will have to be SO much better than we have been in the last two games.....

i'm 58, and yes, i find periods like this quite stressful.I'm starting to find the stress quite concerning during games and often think I should turn it off. Just wondering if others suffer the same.
Never look at Football like that mate, these are multimillionaires, they carry the stress, not you and you should have that mindset even tho it is hard.I'm starting to find the stress quite concerning during games and often think I should turn it off. Just wondering if others suffer the same.
With reference to Collins there’s something we don’t know about Wilson’s injury - so it’s the zero option - don’t stressDefine "older" I'm 46.

Found watching the games on tv or listening on the radio so much more stressful than actually being there. I nearly chucked my phone through the living room window on Saturday when luton scored, had to go and sit outside in the garden for an hour after to calm down.I'm starting to find the stress quite concerning during games and often think I should turn it off.

Brad, is that you?My stress levels have been through the roof really, from prior to WBA.

Thankfully not!Brad, is that you?
Me too. Don't stress over something you have absolutely no control over.The older I get the more rational I am about it. Ultimately its just a game. I'm over it after an hour either way
Same - although I spend too much of my spare time thinking about us and researching our opponents!!The older I get the more rational I am about it. Ultimately its just a game. I'm over it after an hour either way

Relate completely at 62, turnstile lift and stool to stand on so I could look over the top, no turning back after that. I’ve had my heart attack and on medicines for the rest of my life, don’t need a second but blimey they do try! I have learnt now to let it go after the match, like yesterday, takes a hour or two but at the end of the day, proud of the club and will always watch whoever is on the pitch and in whatever division we are in. More than likely I’ll complain too, but that’s part of the course.64 myself and I remember standing on the spoin top and my dad lifting me over the turnstile,although I don't get to many games now, i still get nervous before a game and jump in the air when we score, once a sky blue always a sky blue
Me too. It used to ruin weekends for me when I was younger. These days I’m much calmer and try to put things into perspective.The older I get the more rational I am about it. Ultimately its just a game. I'm over it after an hour either way
I'm the opposite.... Going the other way as I get older!!Me too. It used to ruin weekends for me when I was younger. These days I’m much calmer and try to put things into perspective.
I still go mad celebrating, including banging tables/surfaces, breaking a coffee table…which didn’t go down well!I'm the opposite.... Going the other way as I get older!!
I bet your dad is glad you don’t get to many games these days.64 myself and I remember standing on the spoin top and my dad lifting me over the turnstile,although I don't get to many games now, i still get nervous before a game and jump in the air when we score, once a sky blue always a sky blue
I'm not that old but do notice my heart rate going up drastically if I'm watching or listening. Given how may medical incidents there seem to be these days I have started wondering whether there'll be a time when it's going to be best to not do it for my health and just check scores afterwards.I’ve had to stop watching some games tbh cos I’ve felt my heart rate go a bit too high and I have to keep an eye on things.
I’m not too bad at matches I am at but the ones I watch on tv I do find difficult.
one example was Sheff Weds away. I couldn’t watch the second half so switched to another game instead.
Not help by those immortal words ball into the box , there's danger here!!!!..."I always find it less stressful physically being at the game. Also, while I find watching a stream slightly more stressful, its still no where near as bad as listening to a radio commentary where every time the opposition have possession it feels like they are about to score. Doing none of these and trying to do something completely different while a game is on is also a no no for me, as my mind will constantly be on what might be happening at the game.
I think this has a lot to do with it. We are controlled by the media in ways we weren’t as kids. The adrenaline hit from games and release of neurochemicals is addictive and increasingly impossible to avoid.I think its the fact that every game is available to watch now. Its not natural
My wife come back from town just as Calamity Collins had imploded again so it upset her with the torrent of fucks that came spitting out of me at that time and with a lot of venom tooI'm starting to find the stress quite concerning during games and often think I should turn it off. Just wondering if others suffer the same.
I’m much older having supported the City for 66 years and used to get worked up about bad results.Define "older" I'm 46.
