I've had a shit day today....

[SeaOfFire]

So, I retreat to Lions.....(watching last year's finals series AGAIN)

THIS is what footy does.

THIS is why, when all is said and done, footy brings us together. And being together is the BEST thing in the world.

So, for the season ahead.....

....when all is said and done, this footy team, this club, their history, the whole ****ing box and dice....IS IMPORTANT

THANK YOU TO LIONS.

THANK YOU, all of you, for your effort and your endeavour and your help.

I KNOW I annoy some of you....mods included.

BUT I hope you ALSO know, when the chips are down....I don't ever forget LIONS.

And I never will.

Thanks dudes.

And I apologise for the Sausages title (IYKYK)

My life is just me....I don't have the things here that you all (probably) do.

I just have you lot.....and that's enough.

Don't ever give up on our blokes okay?

I don't, I never do....I don't care about the stats or stuff like that.

I'm just heart. Just love. This is a weakness because...data sometimes lol.

But just don't ever give up, on our blokes, or anyone.

Everyone wants to be a Lion.....we are lucky enough be that.

I love you all

I may have watched it once or twice. First time was about 24hrs after the real thing. After getting soaked at Brunswick St on a Sunday morning....

I hope you are OK. And if you are not you can message me or any poster that you feel a connection with. We can't solve your problem but we can and do appreciate you as a member of our community. You matter mate.

I too have used the Lions as a support mechanism. I have shared their highs and lows and it has shown me that facing adversity and crap times just by turning up and putting the work every day makes a difference.

And making a difference leads to improvements for you. And improvements lead to happier times.

You got this.

I watch one of our Finals series games once a week .
It makes me happy .
So I am weird but I don’t care .

 

[Whatamark]

being an Ipswich Town fan I have to, nay, I am obligated to say you'd need to check in a lot on anyone wearing that shirt (which would also include some of my family members) ....

Hang in there, get talking to Beyond Blue or a similar service, Beyond Blue's number is 1300 22 4636. Then you'll have the Lions and Beyond Blue in your corner.

That's what they're there for and you can just let them know you're having a shit of a day without going into it if that's what you want.

Had to respond when reading your post SeaOfFire .... just know that you are part of an incredible bunch of people, our Lions family here on this forum..

..we don't know who we are, all anonymous and could pass in the street and not know but on here we are able to communicate our love for our Lions with each other.....laugh, cry or even get angry at times, yet when the chips are down and we are not feeling great, each and every one of us are there for each other in some shape, form or another..

After the deaths of 4 of my nearest and dearest plus my dog in the past 2 years, I have been as down as I've ever been at times...but together with our team, our wonderful premiership team who made me laugh and to cry happy tears for a change and then this family of ours on here, worked their magic with their never ending support and kindness..

Never feel you are alone because you're not....just come on here, join in the argy bargy and comraderie and feel the love for all things Lions and each other

Thanks dudes, I'm fine, honestly - WAAAAAAAAAY better than I used to be, because I gave up all the "stuff"....like my house, car, and those things that represent stability for most people.....you have to know what works for you is what it comes down to, I just had to go to extreme lengths to find "my place" lol.

I just get so full of raw emotion when I watch footy sometimes....not all the time, just sometimes. That pure passion, the cold fire inside, the drive to DO, to BE, to MAKE HAPPEN, that sometimes I just gotta share it with you all

Because inside this part of the site, it always feels like coming in to the pub....there's some folks you don't see eye to eye with, but when you see the scarf and the beanie, it doesn't matter.

For a few hours you are in it together, and that MEANS something
