Crying at Football
Comments

Having watched Charlton play for over 60 years I soon realised that one couldn't spend all ones life as a cry baby1

I don't see anything wrong with it personally, but the Brazillian tears during the anthem, when they won etc (especially from Neymar) seemed ridiculously contrived.0

Is it any worse than the other end of the scale when grown men fall over themselves to run down the stairs to the front of the stand so they can scream obscenities at an opposing team's player or to give the Nescafe sign to another fat, balding, drunken geezer, who should also know better, in the away end?
Both need to get some perspective but for some reason it does make me chuckle to see blokes blubbing like a toddler who's dropped his ice cream.1 -
I basically could watch video of the Brazilian and Argies fans crying as they get beaten for hours, especially the grown men, absolutely love it.5

I made a tit of myself at my daughter's school sports day the other week after she won the teddy bears picnic race. Don't think the "something in my eye" line cut it.
Crying when your team loses at football is wrong though.0 -
My favourites were the French after they lost the Olympic bid.Ormiston Addick said:I basically could watch video of the Brazilian and Argies fans crying as they get beaten for hours, especially the grown men, absolutely love it.
"And the winner is........................... Lonnndonnnnn".
Camera cuts away to National Asembly Building in Paris as hoardes of Parisians standing about waiting for the news that the Olympics were of course going to be in Paris;

Oh, so you're the lady. There was I being chivalrous and offering my Charlton handkerchief to a person in the crowd. Do you know what? Your tears made the colours run.sadiejane1981 said:I cried when we got promoted from league one, floods of tears of joy. I cried against Sheffield Wednesday in May 99, also on promotions in 00 and 98, 98 was too emotional.

What gets me is the fans during the world cup who are crying/miserable because their team has lost then realising they are on the big screen and start jumping around smiling and waving.
Incredible.

You have no passion? Why do you follow football?soapy_jones said:Crying over FOOTBALL?

Disagree. People walk past tv shop windows without batting an eyelid as scenes unfold from another day's tragedy. No passion there. Then let them watch 22 men chase a ball around and they start grizzling. Passion takes all forms.stevec said:

Since being an adult I can recollect crying three times.
1) When my Grandad died
2) When my marriage of 25 years failed
3) When my first grandaughter was born
BTW 2) were not tears of joy just bloody disappointment at failure.
But football? never.3 -
A man should never cry over anything concerning football.

All men are different . I quite often shed a year when watching a good film ( and I'm 45 years old 6 foot plus and 17 stone) not so at football . Last time I did shed a tear at football was probably when we got relegated from the prem.0

I've never cried because we've lost.
However I admit to shedding a tear or two at emotional moments following the Club. First (and second) game back when TRRR was played, Wembley, Powelly's 'We've got our Charlton Back' speech.....0 -

surely most of us welled up at those pivotal points in cafc history, and even shed a few, especially when chris powell made that special speech, THAT was a major moment for me, because being overseas, cafc player has opened up the visceral element of following charlton again - my word, even though i have hopes for the new group, i do miss him....look i'm beside myself now, ahhhh. there lad...Addickted said:I've never cried because we've lost.

I felt the tears welling up after enduring the agony of Burnley at home last season and then finding some para-military fascist from Greenwich Council had slapped a parking ticket on my car.0 -
No, I've never cried when we've lost. There's just a heavy, weary resignation.0
