Coneheadjohn Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Of a match,winning,losing or drawing. Watching live on a screen or listening. If we’re winning by a single goal I find it unbearable and usually pace around the house,sit on the toilet or go out. Losing,I will be throwing a strop. I do realise that anyone who sits in the East Stand will be on their way home at this point. What do you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BathRam72 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hold my breath until I pass out. Then wake up in the hope that we have won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 If at home pace up and down. If at game I concentrate incredibly strongly, as if wishing the time away. I'm in the East Stand btw and stay. Unless the game is clearly gone in a negative sense, in which case so am I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 If I'm at the game no problem but trying to follow it via this forum can be a recipe for a heart attack. Those 3 letters bring on a cold sweat - FFS! When it's a poster playing the fool you could happily throttle them. Golden rule though - don't listen to Radio Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawley_ram Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm an East Stand Ram and never leave before full time! I don't drive anymore so no traffic to worry about. If we're winning and it looks safe, opposition staying back, etc. then we'll be debating where to have a swift pint on the way back to the station, if we're losing we'll be debating whether or not we can get a jog on to get the earlier train. Never ever leave before full time though and always applaud the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kevin Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm not very good at watching on TV etc I kick every ball for them. I watched the QPR play off final from a bar in Marbella and it was 4-5 years before I dare go back .Mind you when I did we beat Hull 5-0 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozza Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 It came as a bit of a shock to me when i flicked thru the Leeds match on Sky, to notice, with ten minutes to go, that i was the only person sitting in Block H of the East Stand. I wondered whether i need to change my deodorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I get the bus from Chad so debating whether I have time to grab a KFC before crossing the bridge or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a few mates in Chadd and I've done that bridge walk with them-- felt like cattle being herded to a new field haha. Last time I did it was when we beat Cardiff last season in the rearranged match so we were all in good spirits ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do realise that anyone who sits in the East Stand will be on their way home at this point. What do you do? Well I sit in the east stand and have never ever gone home early ... just can’t During MAC’s time we seemed to have 2 tactics .. send on the cavalry or dither deep in our half. The later was dire, fidget city in my seat. I’d swear I got late onset ADHD. Terrible. No nails, bad tempered, palpitations i’m ignoring Clement and Pearson because it rarely felt right for the whole game even in Clements best period. I am probably re inventing history but it fits today’s tale ? Rowett was a bit better we went through a period when Curtiss and Keogh made sure the ball went up the pitch so the last 5 mins were tolerable. At the moment with super Frankie I feel like we are like Fergie’s United re born .. “can they score .. they always score” ... much better and somehow I always think Scotty or a random leg will save us .. hope rather than naked fear ?

FindernRam Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Easy to be critical of leavers when you are young and fit but when you are older with mobility problems your world changes. Sitting for 2+ hours can be agony, stairs in a crowd are a nightmare, walking across the post match race track carpark is deadly. You need the loo desperately. so you leave 5 minutes early. In several seasons we have only missed a few goals (ours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthram Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 If I'm at the game, I stick it out to the bitter end regardless (another East Stander). If at home, I flick between twitter, this forum and the BBC website in the ridiculous hope that, if we're winning it will make the time pass faster but if we're losing or drawing I somehow think we'll get a goal if I check the score by a different method.

RoyMac5 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 If we’re losing I’ll try and think of a small superstitious ritual that will cause us to score and change the game! Needless to say I haven’t found a surefire one yet. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
