proud!

Personally...having finally watched the game, I can't see how anyone could not be proud of the team after that effort. But, clearly there are those who take no notice of the process, the progress, the commitment, the skill and the effort and who only focus on the final result.

CTS and others riddle me this...if it were the Swans who had kicked the final point, would you have been proud of them?

Nowadays I almost never watch or listen to a game live "as it happens" as my behaviour cannot cope with it, but I am sure I would have been absolutely gutted had I been watching....no doubt this disappointment may have coloured your feelings.

I would have been proud, but no prouder than usual.
I expect them to give their all every game.
How can one be proud of what one expects?
To me, the only way people can be proud of the way the Swans played last week is if they think that they are not putting their all in every week.

I'm not proud when one of my kids comes in and tells me that they have made their bed all week.
I may have been nagging them for months to perform this task consistently, and just because they start doing it doesn't make me proud, it makes me happy that they are fulfilling my expectations on them.
Happy, not proud.
