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

[edgie]

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 won a FIFA once having 0 shots to about 10.

Scored 2 goals from slide tackling their keeper and those were only forward thrusts the whole game. I imagine the other bloke was a bit rowdy.

When Daniel Giansiracusa kicked a crucial goal in the last quarter of the semi final against Sydney in 2010, I jumped up and accidentally elbowed my elderly father in the head knocking his glasses off.

He got over it pretty quickly - after being a dogs fan his whole life the joy / shock of seeing a dogs player actually kick a goal in the last quarter of an important final outweighed the pain.

I don't get physical but do shout a lot. My dogs hide under the bed while the footy is on.

My FIFA experience is a bit more like this.

I don't condone any violence except self-defence but I must say, I've always found someone hitting another person much more understandable than them hitting an inanimate object.

I think people who can't control their anger over things which are, in the end, inconsequential, like footy, and react with violence towards inanimate objects seriously need help.

When the game gets close I pace up and down behind the couch and issue instructions to the players, mainly "stop ****ing bombing it inside 50!!! Pav is not as young as he once was"..... then my wife tells me to relax because it's just a game.

Lulz. My dogs slink up the back yard.

I've gone through the odd transistor radio or two as a kid, but nothing physical unless that transistor clunked someone on the way down from wherever i threw it from. I have no acceptance of losing, i have never watched any losing game we have played on replay. I get grumpy, bag the team, want everyone traded and by the next week all is forgiven and ready to go again....if they lose again, then it's sack the coach time!
Following Geelong has been an emotional rollercoaster...

If you get physically angry when watching a show that exists for your entertainment, you should seek some form of help.

Footys a 'show' ?

 

[TexanKnights]

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.

I know there's a great line for this...but I'll let it go through to the keeper

I decided after the 2009 Collingwood final that I would never get invested in my team's success again. Now I expect to lose every game.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

I yell and swear a lot. I get told off after a game for saying a whole bunch of swear words I have zero recollection of saying. I never use the c bomb as its only reserved for the worst of the worst and not in my nature to say but apparently I have dropped a few during games and I feel bad about that

I've shoved people off me who have tried to console me after a bad loss but that's about as physical as I get. I do punch the occasional pillow.

Ive never threatened anyone with chopsticks, broken a phone or punched a hole in a wall though

 

[JPetro83]

Yes I must admit I lose the plot during the game and the moments after a game. I have broken remotes before, out my fist through a table, door, boted and shattered the big plastic washing basket that was in my way etc I yell a lot and swear and carry on. there is so much on the game... you know if you lose then Monday morning at work or your facebook newsfeed is going to be crazy! I have never been in a fight over footy though.. many many heated arguments though.
What gets me going is turn overs, getting caught holding the ball or missing a set shot anywhere inside 40 from goal. And its the same players that annoy me.. Van Berlo, Mackay & Hartigan argh!!!!!

 

[Andre]

I have 17 punching bags in matching team colours I go to town on with a sack full of door knobs..

Makes me feel like a real man.

So graffiti is down eighty percent, whilst heavy sack beatings are up a shocking nine hundred percent.

 

[JPetro83]

Oh yeah, the result of a swans game really determines my mrs quality of living for the next week

hahahahahahaha same!!! if the crows lose it pretty much means stepping on egg shells around me for a few days.. no $ex... the mood is killed!

 

[JPetro83]

Anyone who says "its only a game" isn't a real fan IMO

You know you have an issue when you go and buy a 70 inch tv and you wife says "yes that's what you need, a bigger target"

You should reply " thats why i married you".

Would probably go down well

 

[DERO]

Does anyone work one out after a win?

 

[AndysAngels]

Eagles vs Collingwood last year I was at my new girlfriends house watching the game (rookie mistake) and she had fallen asleep with her head in my lap. Anyway I felt like we were getting a raw deal from the umps and so was starting to get pretty cranky but was staying quiet and keeping my cool. A goal that was showed to be CLEARLY touched by Sheppard was mysteriously changed to a choppier replay that was then deemed inconclusive. I was very unhappy by this point. Queue Brereton going on and on about some absolute bs on how we should have had a 50m penalty awarded against us, and I lost it and yelled 'shut the f**k up you moron', resulting in a very startled and very confused girlfriend. I was that grumpy with myself for losing it in front of her that I went downstairs and didn't watch the rest of the game.

I don't watch the footy at her place anymore.

 

[wce4premiership]

I get angry to the point I have to get rid of energy by exercising afterwards, normally by going for a kick of the footy myself/with mates at the local park until I'm absolutely buggered and by then you really don't care. Even if I have to wait until the next day.

During the games there's a lot of mumbled swearing and couch slapping, mostly at our players mistakes, even more so if I rate the player.

This reminds me of the epic North supporter that use to (may still?) post on here.

Whacked Daniel Motlop with a flag and got banned from some games and fined. Caught on TV.

A year or 2 later starts a fight with a fellow north supporter in a preseason game, got kicked out by security. Caught on TV.

 

[Ruby_Belle]

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

It was the start of last season. Cant remember which particular game.
