How do you deal with losses?

[Tiger67]

Usually I tear up my membership, spit on the coach, dump shit at Punt Road and then post a thread on Bigfooty demanding the immediate resignation of the management.

This has to be the best reply lol well done

I find Year 12 a smooth calming relaxing experience in comparison to watching Richmond.

I can teach

Oh yr 12 nah that's long gone for me now. If you're good at science you're most welcome to do my uni assignments, will pay cash haha. Good on you though.

 

[the ranger]

LOL, I like* the rangers solution.

* don't condone the actions though.

Really though, I'm pretty much over it within an hour of the game. Might be a little grumpy with the kids if they didn't sit there and suffer through it all with me (like tonight..they have no interest in watching footy on TV), but usually they are there at the game with me and it's time to get philosophical with them.

Nah, not science, unfortunately

 

[BILC]

Usually am really pissed if it was one we threw away

Then go through the game and pick out everytime some player fkd up and bag the shit out of them or give them a nickname that makes me feel a little bit better, jordan mcmahon has copped the brunt of them over the years

McMuffin
Mcshithead
Mcturnover
McFU**kin useless C*nt

Usually call Vickery a girl a few times and comment on his and Nasons lesbian love affair

Say what would of happened if it was Richo instead of the player in question

 

[jko'neal]

Given up caring to be honest. Don't even bother sticking up for the team when copping crap about our efforts on a regular basis. The way I see it, why should I care when most of our senior payers just roll over and give up

 

[Azzleberry]

I beat my children, send them to bed crying and then watch pr0n.

Made me laugh! Thats all you can do as a Richmond supporter.

 

[mcuzzy]

get a gatorade bottle, burn or cut hole somewhere near the middle and put a hose through it.

fill bottle up with enough water so hose dips in.

put socket on end of hose

take lid off bottle

put spliff in the socket

light it

inhale from lid

???

profit

Red wine, tobacco and the Arcade Fire.

10 years ago it was Whiskey, Pot and Muse

15 years ago it was Port, Pot, Tobacco and Smashing Pumpkins

20 years ago it was Beer, Tobacco and tears.

25 years ago it was tears and a sad train ride home to find my bike's been pinched.

Ive come a long way baby

A close 2nd

 

[Kapital city TIGER]

[Spielvogel]

i generally just lose my mind. then i come out of it with renewed optimism.

This has become a weekly cycle.

 

[Mr Magic]

I smile !!!!

I cheer.

All is good. I know we have already passed the precipice went we nearly went under.

We are one of the toughest clubs going around. A loss means nothing to me . It used to but it doesn't any more.

I am an apprentice because since we haven't been going so well after 25 years I thought I should get of my arse and say something.

Martin is Neo, but he has some mates and he is not alone.

We are in better shape than ten years ago.

Provided we stay financially in shape we have not just a future but a very bright future!!!

If some dumps shit on you say get a life. What the Tiger monster base still scares you on the defensive even when we lose a regular season game.

Who cares !! I am only interested in winning premierships for the club and the player/team and club development on and off the field !!!

Everything else is irrelevant and a distraction!!!

I am happy . We are getting better and I believe in the club its players and our future!!!!

 

[Greggy]

I usually try and find some positives, like draft picks, or I check into the nearest psycho ward, whichever comes first.

 

[smasha]

I like to tram it into Richmond for interstate games because by the time you walk home from the last stop,all that angst is driven from the mind.

The wait is excruciating for us older folk who've endured sacked coaches,draft table blunders,champs who've walked out on the club and board room scuffles,not forgetting the losses.

We are not far away from that film The Club except for the Magpie jumpers.

I think this wait will be worth it.

I just hope we can all pull together through this and be on the same page.

Gary March and Mal Brown included.

I hope they handle this like grown men not like a bar room brawl.

Have a good cuppa and a talk.

We all want the same thing in the end.

My dream would be for all the old Tigers Sheeds,KB,the old board members,**** even Wallace,EVERYONE come back and pull together and say they were sorry and hug each other.

That would pull this club together like nothing else.

We know humans are too stupid and stubborn for that.

 

[Tigers86]

My phone goes off during (avoid distractions/if we are losing the messages) and after the game for about two hours, unless we win or I need it.
Never that happy at work the next few days, avoid making facebook status updates cause that just brings on those other supporters you speak of.
If I am heading home afterwards, I walk straight into my room (to avoid talking to my housemates) and generally don't come out until I know that they are in bed, or it's the next morning.

2009: lots of yelling, throwing random objects in random direction

2010: no expectation to win, record the games just in case i can get that one or two games we might win this year and watch it at least once a week through the year, the message is loud and clear, i dont know why anyone gets upset if we lose this year, hardwick has warned all supporters of this and deep down everyone knows this is what was going to happen, half way through 2011 or from 2012 onwards it may be back to my 2009 reactions

 

[Tigers86]

I know and understand this, however I still don't like seeing them lose. I think today was the worst of the season, I have been able to accept a few of the beltings as going to happen, but today was just upsetting.

i will agree with todays match being one to get angry over, the only real chance we may have had to win this year, scores were level during the first 5-10 minutes of the last quater, 52-52 i think it was or there abouts. to go from that to a 50 point loss was just shameful.

 

[Mr Magic]

Rubbish, get some perspective. Playing footy is a privilege. There is nothing to be ashamed about it. The boys should be proud to even get the chance. They should be singing the song and enjoying the moment while they can even for those who may face the cut at the end of the year.

What difference does it make if we lost , if we lost by 10 or lost by 60.

Our goal is to win the holy grail. When our focus is fixed on this sole objective well will achieve great things!!


Our club is going places , no one reaches the top and stays there in a straight line!!

 

[guruisatiger]

copius ammount of mind altering drugs,, and then just continually hit my head against a brick wall till i either knock my self out or trip out timothy leary style

 

[Rayzorwire]

Supercoach helps a lot...rather than dwelling on the game you go check your scores and get kinda absorbed in that...plus you can be associated with a side that actually wins!

 

[Chops18]

ill give that method a go next time we lose. Than again why wait for the inevitable and just do it now
