Does anyone else get 'physically' angry whenever their team loses?

[pjcrows]

Wow, you must have one hell of an arm.

Rolled up 80 page record is like a brick.

Has anyone ever thrown something at the TV or smashed a radio or two after/during a game before?

I don't condone violence (unless it's being done to Anderson, Wanderlei or the Nogueira brothers), but I remember watching a few frustrating North games and being on the brink of physical abuse to the poor old TV...(fortunately nowadays it just ruins my entire day instead, TVs are safe)

Has anyone actually ever damaged their TV/radio before?
Just wanted to see how common it is.

Edit: Also tv abusers, what generally gets you most angriest toward the tv?
A) Players on your team making really really dumb decisions/clangers, causing turnovers
B) Bad umpiring decisions
C) Or Lazy defence/no pressure

Its usually only the immature that react like that.
Now i come from the old days where a bit of banter quite often turned into a whole lot more at the footy.Now thats immature but a whole different ball game.

I'm thankful that my couch is well padded or I'd be joining the embarrassing broken hand club. Mostly just swearing and I'm far worse when I'm home alone.

It's usually bad/dumb play that gets me raging. That 5.21 first half against Geelong last season...

 

[Ok Boomer]

Only once.

**** off Leo Barry.

Can one actually get physically angry ?

 

[Sellout Scully]

When I was a kid I use to yell or scream when things didn't go the right way. To combat this, I would bite hard into pillows so I wouldn't scream so loud, in order to take my anger out.

One time I bit so hard and knocked out two teeth, neither of which had been loose before.

When we lost to gws in 2014 i think. I was so so angry i couldnt be near anyone. I was blind rotten drunk and had never felt so crap after a loss. It was brownies last game aswell.

Luckily for myself and some innocent people my good friends got me home in good nick. Minus wallet keys and phone. (Which was returned later the next day by some random awesome citizen.

2009 GF, empty wine bottle in the garage.

Kept my calm ever since with the exception of kicking the bin when Beau f**king Wilkes/Maister fell over tracking back with the ball against West Coast

Can one actually get physically angry ?

Well yeah.

 

[DickDunn]

I agreed to go to a party with the missus after the grand final last year. Terrible idea. I'd been doing a lot of emotional drinking.

It turned out to a be more of a quiet gathering than a party, which didn't stop me from calling a mate to loudly vent about the game while describing my gf's work colleagues as boring campaigners who didn't understand footy. Safe to say she was not impressed.

 

[Bombermania]

Depends, usually if it is a hiding against a top side I will just sit back and enjoy them, was great watching the Cats and Hawks in recent seasons, it was like my lot were not even there,

But if we lose due to poor play or some stupid act then I might be shitty for a while, might let fly at Bigfooty but generally am over it by the next day.

Yes I have been known to get abit emotional watching a game. Husband tends to go golfing when he can to avoid dealing with me on game day. Buying the neighbors chocolate and alcohol helps them deal with the profanity coming from our house during footy season.

My best was probably when I ripped my dress off after an umpiring decision. Husband said I did a hulk. I do try not to break stuff. But sometimes I cant help it.

[NaturalDisaster]

I'm usually quite calm, the worst ive done is tossed my mates remote onto to floor and the batteries fell out... lol..

felt physically ill after finding out we lost to Norf in last years Elmin though and wanted to punch something badly.

 

[edgie]

I'm utterly astounded my door is still in its frame after the slamming I gave it after that Gold Coast game...

Not AFL, but was pretty pissed off when Silva cheated you out of that second title fight chaelsonnen

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

I don't get angry, I just drink faster...

 

[jjsmitty8]

I generally have a pillow nearby to belt if need be, it gets more of a workout during a game of FIFA though. I'm more composed than I once was.

 

[Balony_pony16]

I can rage at times... no where near as bad as my Fifa rages though haha

 

[edgie]

You guys wanna see a bad FIFA rage? Check these stats!
I was Sunderland.

Look at the ****ing foul counts, compared to the tackle counts!

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Usually it's a smacking of the couch followed by the dogs barking at me. Close games I am up on my feet asking why are you doing this to me. Wife has stopped watching football with me and makes other arrangements so it has had a positive effect.

 

[Ruby_Belle]

Wut

Are you confused or was that your attempt at humor?

 

[Severe]

Not confused. You rip off a dress to which match exactly?

 

[Jables]

FIFA induces the same rage Soccer does, it seems. Strange people.

I once punched the ground when we lost a close one (I was a teen sitting on the floor because the couches were full). It hurt. Never even got close to violent at any other time. I can sulk like no one else though.

That's nothing, you should try playing those Football Manager games where you don't control the players.

Sometimes you'll have 30 shots to 1 and lose 1-0. Then you'll know what rage feels like.

I've broken seats at the MCG on two separate occasions: Port in 2007 and the Doggies in 2010. Never broken anything at home but have had to leave the house for a while in either sadness or rage.
