Saturday Afternoon - At/watching/listening to the game.
Saturday Evening - Utter frustration, wanting to smash things into tiny little pieces. Post kneejerk reactions on internet forums.
Sunday - Ignore every other game of football, try and forget all about yesterday. Continue posting abusive/overly critical things.
Monday - Try and figure out what went wrong on saturday, start thinking some rational thoughts about gameplans, structures and players.
Tuesday and Wednesday - Convinced that you know exactly what went wrong, why, and how to fix it, you try and convince internet bretheren of this, most people agree and a general concensus is formed. Hope comes good when training reports come in, that injured players trained and players looked skilful.
Thursday - Eagerly await team sheets, check forums for early ins/outs rumours. Once teams are released, have a whinge about why certain players continue to get a game, and others are overlooked.
Friday - Excitement builds, footy is back on tomorrow and we're in for a good shot at a win. The bookies might not have us as favourites but our team is great and we have made some good selection changes which should make us improve heaps.
Saturday Afternoon - ............

I'm the same i'll watch every single game even after a loss only coz i have to follow super coach scores heheiwantmeseats wrote:nice one, im the same. Except I still like to watch as many other matches if I can. After a shouse performance, it helps me forget.

Hmmm pretty close.
Except I too like to watch the differing styles of oppo teams and see which teams I like the style of and why, and try to figure out their strengths and weaknesses.
And I now really enjoy watching stars of other teams - fifteen years ago I wouldn't have gone to an oppo game to watch superstars or great teams - I've mellowed.

Sometimes I sit at home and wonder how sad it is I watch so much footy. Many dont understand.
Without footy my life is nothing i will watch every game in each time slot unless i'm at work that's why a saints loss hurts so bad it is life people.

Exactly, i have always had a theory (so has my mother) that the players read into this and start to cruise. Stupid i know, but not that unbelievable with some of the other things of the sort going around.
