There should be an official health warning printed on match tickets for PAFC games. A strong constitution is required for watching Argyle home or away........maybe a Doctors certificate to prove that you are fit in body and mind to protect against your kith and kin sueing for lose of your life. Hope springs eternal that Argyle by the skin of their teeth will avoid relegation.......one match can bring a glimpse of the promised land and three points. The next a look into the depths of hades.....with a draw that should have been more........or a pathetic defeat which should have been avoidable. Those that follow from a distance do have it a little easier........with a check on how the match is going on-line.......squinting through the gaps in fingers held up to cover the face. Two days to recover and it all happens again........and it's suppose to be only a game........not that a certain Liverpool Manager would agree (tongue in cheek I suspect).
Trust me Plym at a distance is harder.... watching the BBC text on bended knee praying there is not a goalflash at 90mins plus is far more painful than screaming the team on from the Lyndhurst!!!! Still come Easter I will have a couple of green wins to watch
We may know before you do mexijan but trust me it isn't any easier. Saturday in the last 5 minutes it was excruciating. I almost went outside the ground because I was just waiting for the wheels to come off. We watchers have become programmed to that unfortunately. The buzz walking down towards the Barn Park entrance to Central Park was a bit lacking on Saturday. You would have thought it would have been buzzing given the result and a half decent match and performance. I think it was almost stunned silence and disbelief.
Yes Mexijan..reading the BBC Text at 90min can be "texting" to say the least..i didn't know i could i hold my breath that long..lol
I try all sorts of superstitious rubbish on matchdays. I've tried wearing the same clothing. Taking a certain kind of sweet for matches. Saying the same old tosh at half time etc etc. When it is an away match, and I appreciate it is for you pretty much every game, I always listened to the commentary on radio. But, on occasions I have forgone that and done the computer text stuff instead. I do know what you mean. I have been tempted to switch the radio on for a brief moment to get the result early as the text is 7 or 8 minutes behind real time. So far I have resisted and it is agony if we are one up or one down. To have to do it for every game is a tribute to your fortitude and anal nerve control.
The last five minutes of yesterday was as Sir Alex says was "squeakey bum time".How did you cope with it yesterday Sensible?
Sensible........I have the BBC Football Red button show (Gabby generally)........score changes are very quick......as you say minutes quicker than the BBC computer updates as well.
Being at HP lately reminds me of when I was kid and I used to watch Dr Who behind the sofa peeping through my fingers ............. trouble is there arn't any sofa's to hide behind lol
My anal nerve control is still first class aka. I might sneak a small amount of gas out to relieve the pressure these days but overall I am in control. Just........... I used to sit with my kids on a Saturday afternoon for Doctor Who Gat. My son used to virtually climb through the back of the sofa sometimes yet still always watched it. Saw an old episode recently from way back and it seemed so amateurish at best.
I know what you mean Sensible the Cybermen with watering can nozzles for noses ..... still scared me though ..... I'd like to peep through my fingers for the last 5 mins of matches lately but I dont want to appear a wuss so its a deep intake of breath until the final whistle like Away In BC lol
