Am I a bad fan???

[Lucky Knickers]

I don't know how Annie managed to keep sms-ing and managing to convey the excitement of the game all at the same time - or maybe that was just me. I had all the blokes in the restaurant asking me for score updates on the qt.

You were both providing a good community service - Annie with the at ground score's and Lucky passing the same information to the restaurant patrons.

No-ones perfect mate. Forget about it. At least you saw the end. I fell asleep during the thriller game from last year where we came back from heaps down and won. I woke up in the middle of the news... doh!

It WAS exciting!! I think the lead changed 14 times.

Firstly, I'm blonde, so that's probably it right there some might say. But to lose track of the score because you are frantically texting your mates who would normally be sitting across the ground from you, but aren't cause they're at a stupid party, and so when mcfarlin hits the post you think the score is level and then you somehow don't take account of any more goals and of course you don't look at the scoreboard cause you know, you know, so then you are freaking out cause we are playing kick to kick and we need to get THE BALL DOWN THE OTHER END AND KICK A GOAL OR A POINT, I DON'T CARE WHICH, and you wonder why everyone seems OK with this and then why does the place roar with delight when the siren goes and everyone stands and the song starts. But its a draw you think, what's going on, and then you look at the scoreboard. Don't know about bad fan, but dumb, most certaibnly.

I'll only miss a game if I'm hospitalised (or if my brother decides to get married again).

I've turned down heaps of invitations to things like weddings and parties because they've fallen on the same day as a home game. People should check the calendar before they make party plans!!

I was at a 30th birthday at the Fox and Lion, so close yet so far!!
And the pub didn't even have the game on so I was using my wife's mobile to check the scores. Stopped checking it in the 4th when Freo was comfortably in front and only found out about the win when the fans starting coming in after the game.

[Jewels]

I have NEVER left a game early. Whether we are winning or losing by 10 goals. NEVER, EVER!
Have we not learned with our team that it's not over til the siren sounds? Bloods Determination!
Bad Fan, Very bad fan!!

I have to admit that I walked out of the Adelaide game when Porplezia kicked his last goal.

It was either walk out or be arrested for assault as I was so p###ed off at the garbage happening on the field I thought I was going to hit someone.

I was exactly the same when I lived up there & got so much attitude from football ignoramuses. "You mean you CAN miss one game, you know (as if there is something wrong with you). But I don't miss games, we can meet up tomorrow". "You are a freak" *CLUNK (end of phone call)

I have to admit that I have dreaded this weekend ever since the A-League draw was announced. The huge blockbuster Swans match was up against Sydney Fc vs Melbourne Victory a match I NEVER miss. Am really distraught I find myself in a decision where I have to choose, so have decided to go to neither & watch both games at the Riser (with the SFC game on the little tv atop the Cheer Squad table).

Still home games aren't exactly down the road any more. At least I have the excuse that I'm 1000km away. Had I lived in Sydney the decision-making would have been even worse.

I'll just be happy for this weekend to be over to be honest.

Having said that, I'm pretty certain both teams will lose. If I stay down here I can leave the pub & forget about it. If I go up to one game & the other team wins I'd never forgive myself.

I never once lost track of the score, I am able to multi-task admirably.
But then again, I'm not a blonde!!

Kirky said to a friend of mine "you NEVER give up on us!". Sometimes its hard, but its worth hanging in there when they do the impossible. You just feel like exploding with pride

Then again, when they don't its just miserable isn't it.

I am not expecting much against Geelong, except pride over logic.

Annie's hot on the TXT its just not you LN its me as well she's TXT'ing during the game.Annie and I even TXT when both are watching the game.She does go off her dial at some one or some thing when on the fone somtimes whic is funny ..

[hot potato]

We never leave early to any contest. Seeing something remarkable happen live before your very own eyes, you can't beat it. You will never forget it. You will talk to complete strangers about it like you have always been lifelong mates.
Don't do it again. Naughty fan.

[AussieAnge]

NARF! If you don't want strange phone calls don't give me your number

Indeed
