Not one I'd take to war with me.
That's me done. Completely irrespective of the result. I genuinely no longer enjoy going to the footy. Happy to watch from afar/the safe confines of the couch, but tonight just killed it for me. Until the arrival of Rhino Jnr, that's probably the last game I'll bother going to for a while.
Que sera, sera...
Each to their own of course, however with that attitude, you obviously would be fine with there being no Blues supporters there next week against the filth? Just imagine that.
I could empathise with it. Sat there, froze my arse off, paid through it also for coffee, watched an ordinary performance, put up with drunks screaming abuse at players, that whilst was justified in theory, but in practice, went above and beyond what was necessary (i.e....you'd hate to think what would happen if Brock McLean put it on Twitter..)
Once every so often you see a guy in a pub, or you hear someone talk about their parents.."Oh I/they used to be a massive ______ supporter back in the day"...and all I could ever think about is "I wonder what happened to make them stop", and throughout that conversation, I'd speculate internally about whether they got a new job or a new girlfriend, or better interests....
That bloke at the bar who used to follow the Saints back in the hey day of the animal enclosure, or that girl who used to hear stories about her Dad's time following the Tiges religiously under Tommy Hafey...that's me right now. I moved to the city the day I turned 16, a small part of that decision was to watch the footy every week, as opposed to once every two seasons living out in the back end of the state. Now I couldn't even care what fills that time on the weekend, taking a cooking class with the Mrs, learning a foreign language, following a novelty sport...who gives a shit....the buy in will probably seem a lot more sensible than what this is and what it will be for the next few years.
