You're telling us you have a job and yet you've bunked a couple of days off cos you can't cope with this coming match.

chocco boxo Posted 25 April, 2012 Author Share Posted 25 April, 2012 Dear oh dear,what would you do in the event of a real crisis..hide in the coalshed or something? Believe me I have dealt with real crisis in my life! Those I have mainly had some say in or been able to influence the outcome! Saturday I cannot...anyway I was asking fans/supporters/superfans/the best singers/the best dressed fans/most travelled fans/internet fans how they were dealing with the situation? So whilst hiding in a coalshed is not something I would consider, I just want to know how people are dealing with it!

Really excited but deep down ****ting it! Wish I could shut this out till 10am saturday when it is pub time and COYS! For me it's a bit like having a mistress. When you don't have one it sounds fantastic and you think it's going to be exciting and thrilling. Then you have one and realise that as well as the excitement and thrills (choose carefully fellas...) it's also bloody nerve wracking and you're never sure whether that feeling of happy-anxiety is anticipation or nausea... The idea of a last day decider is just like this. Sounds brilliant. Might be brilliant. Might also end really badly and cost you a fortune, and you'll wish you never entertained it... Of course, on the upside, no-one on Saturday will set light to your wardrobe, douse your motor in paint-stripper and attack your gentlemen's jewels with a pair of secateurs....* (*Unless you live in Pompey).

alpine_saint Posted 25 April, 2012 Share Posted 25 April, 2012 While perspective is needed and it's just sport, I remember when we were relegated and some fan was crying in a photo (which you'd find with any relegated club of course), and a newspaper columnist (non-sport) commented how pathetic it was and that there were real problems in the world. That annoyed me, because initial reaction is different. I'm sure that person and everyone else quickly moved on and gained some perspective, but that comment seemed to suggest we're not allowed to feel emotion about anything that isn't ridiculously serious. Even then, surely it could always be worse? Lost a leg, get over it, you didn't lose two. I'm not sure where the line is. But that's more about the aftermath rather than the build-up. I can't comprehend taking time off work due to nerves over the build-up. Post-fck up depression day off...well I can understand more if not condone it, but surely what most people are feeling in the build-up is 99% excitement 1% nerves? Why be a football fan if you can't enjoy stuff like this? With some on here I really question at what point the enjoyment comes, because I don't see it, in any position of any league. I would suggest accepting that people are different and deal with different issues in different ways. Then move on.

Frank's cousin Posted 25 April, 2012 Share Posted 25 April, 2012 Why dont you just STFU and let fellow Saints fans share their experiences without ridicule or c*ck swinging ? To be fair Alps, does sound a little strange - the issue of promotion or not does need to be placed in some sort of 'life' context - and when it is, its hardly 'devastating'?

I cried at the end of Toy Story 3, doesn't mean I don't have a grip on reality. I don't. But crying at Toy Story 3 is not prima facie evidence. Of more concern is spending time on here talking to people only three of whom I have ever knowingly met... That shows a total lack of perspective on anything, to be brutally frank.

Dr Who? Posted 25 April, 2012 Share Posted 25 April, 2012 Me I am working harder than I have ever worked so that the time passes even quicker. I will not be watching, listening or even on here on Sat. I have all 3 kids to take out all day Sat so will just be iPhone score updates. So hopefully I will be smiling and jumping round a zoo or a play centre like a madman. Will sky + the game and watch when the wife is out later and the kids are in bed. Few beers I hope!
