Interesting.Is the beautiful game going a bit nuts ? Its always been tribal and passionate you only had to be around in the 70's/80's to see for yourself. But now when I listen to radio phone ins and look on social media,and fans are angry at their club or the opposition, and hardly any one seems happy or content. If their team loses a few games they're on the verge of a breakdown, and want the manager out, but then they win a couple of games and things ain't so bad again.And Players appear to play half heartedly and spit their dummies out if they don't like their manager, and try and engineer a move instead of getting on with things, many act like spoilt brats. Maybe football this game we all love has always been like this, but it just seems to have gone a little bit insane ? Any thoughts ?
Could be because of too high expectations ?Interesting.
Would be interesting to know how individual posters on here feel we teams score against us or when we lose. How do they feel at the time and on going home?
Angry? Sad, Frustrated? A combination?
I do find it fascinating when I see goals going in on the TV and some of the home fans getting so angry and het up when a goal is scored against them. Could be a wonderful strike against them, yet still some fans leap out of their seats to berate the defence, or the keeper or whoever is in their firing line, waving their arms around like crazy and almost bursting a blood vessel.
I can walk away from a defeat quite happy, as long as we really competed and did the best we could possibly do as a team.Could be because of too high expectations ?
Fans should know by now only a handful of clubs will win trophies,with the odd exception occasionally. As a Cov City supporter of 50 plus years I've become hardened to it all now,take the Barnet game it was boring and sleep inducing,but I walked away at the end happy at the three points,yet many were unhappy at the performance etc.

It can still ruin my weekend, but I never, ever get angry, merely saddened.I used to get very worked out and a defeat would ruin my weekend. As I've got older I've got some perspective and don't let it get to me too much.
An Arsenal fan last week actually cried on the radio saying he'd had enough of Wenger etc.I felt embarrassed just hearing him sobbing,I shouted at the radio " get a grip man." I thought if you cry over your football team what will you be like when something really bad happens in your life ? We Cov fans must be hard now as if any supporters should blubber on the radio it's us !I used to get very worked out and a defeat would ruin my weekend. As I've got older I've got some perspective and don't let it get to me too much.
