For the love of your football club is a terrible thing
Anyone else ever thought that the pain of losing especially to @#%&!s like Shitty or Hilbropool is worth the pain.
Or do the good times compensate. Sometimes I wish I had never got interested in football,there must be others who cant take the pain. |

Maybe I'm a @#%&!, but I've genuinely felt worse after certain United losses than I have upon finding out fairly close relatives have died |

Cared hugely from being a kid up to about age 25.
Now I can just about rouse myself to watch the really big matches but otherwise couldn't really care. I only come here out of habit and because it's too much like hard work to find other pixilated pals. It could be called '£#%&!y Tissue' and i'd still be logging on. |

The unexpected ones I find worse and the ones that stand out have mainly been in Europe.
The loss to Partizan Belgrade when I was a kid was so unexpected after Best beating one of the very top clubs, Benfica 5-1 at theirs, Eusebio n all. Cried me eyes out. Thought we had name on trophy. Dortmund, Leverkusen, Monaco, Porto.... all painful. 75 cup final and several earlier sf defeats. It's just different than losing a friend or relative but silly as it sounds, similar pain. When the old fella died there was a lot of sadness but the memory of good things, which still endure. The actual dying is often expected after illness but it can of course be a sudden shock. Depends. Edit: 76 final |

Defeats bother me more than I'd like them to, but they always have. FA Cup Final in 1976 was my first major defeat as a Utd fan and it still bothers me now.
I find myself in recent years saying I'm done with football - first time I said it was Nani's sending off against Real Madrid. There's been a few more times since. Currently I'm convinced that if/when City win the Champions' League that will be me done with it. But reality is I'm passionate about United and I'm like one of the sad gits in Looking For Eric. I could pretend I don't care and watch FC United instead, but it would be a lie. So I'll never stop supporting them, and defeats will always be hard to take. |
