eric04 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 It’s not just the actual football, but the thought of it that I most miss. The anticipation of it on a Friday night and Saturday morning. The actual 90 minutes rarely lives up to those expectations. A bit like Christmas!

lenred Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Not missing any of it other than catching up with my mates that I go with over a few beers before and after the game. Feels a bit strange to me really just how little I am missing actual football itself in general, not just City games. Maybe it will be a big reset for some, me included. We shall see.

Fpcity Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I'm missing all the jargon about box entries and identity. But seriously I've not had the same passion for football as I did a few years ago. Hopefully after all this I'll get it back after not having any football at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuber Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I miss getting together with mates more than the football itself, as that was pretty much the only thing this season was good for. Certainly didnt go to be entertained, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas - for me - is all in the build up, the week leading up to it. Bit like FA Cup final day (the morning and all the build up), before football was invented in 1992.

PolskRed Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I am missing everything about football (Other than the Premier League) Funnily enough I don’t know anyone who is not missing it either. Seriously missing the cricket as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Yep. I miss it. I miss a load of other things as well. My grandkids no longer prancing round and all my family life. You read about this all day long and different experts telling us how long this will go on for. The only sure thing is we will emerge to some normality in months ahead. the EFL. if I was a betting man remaining games played behind closed doors to conclude the season with all players tested and virus free. I cannot see a time in two months when crowds will be allowed back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted March 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Good points about missing your mates and the pre/post match craic. That’s something I really miss.

The world has become such a vastly different place so quickly and staying safe & looking after your friends and family has become so important that I honestly haven’t had time to miss football at all. I couldn’t tell you who we were supposed to be playing today either as the iPhone calendar has gone and the OS has removed them too. Have I gone mad or is football just not as important as we used to think it was? I haven’t missed it anything like I thought I would have and I haven’t missed this place at all. LJ in/out, SL do something/nothing MA Buy us Random Striker/Random Defender, we are a big club/mid table div 2 side, sums up 90% of the threads and sums up who we are, the biggest club never to have played in The Premier League...Its quite nice having to not take my meds for Robin’s disease in such high doses!

cider-manc Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 It isn't so much going to the game but the things that go with it. Living where I do the games are the only times I get to see some people. Also , I never realised how much of my every day life it impacted. From conversations in the office to where I spend the majority of my time online (no not there you perverts....). I am enjoying using that time to investigate new bands and music instead though. I miss it when I think about it. When football got postponed that's when shit got really real for me. However, me and the mrs are both working from home and splitting time looking after our 2 year old son. If I'm completely honest I have less free time now than I ever have so that has helped keep my mind off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I miss City and football but have accepted the situation from day one. This thing is bad and no one know how it ends. City and football are important but at the moment there are many things that is more important then football and other sports. Got a work that I go to mo- friday. Can there meet mates and live normal. Weekends are more than calm. Take care all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted March 29, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Football, F1, rugby, all of it, I spend a lot of time listening to the radio, usually R5 and they do cover sport pretty well, understandably, they are now struggling to fill the schedules, so the sooner some sport comes back the better - even if it was behind closed doors it could be broadcast on TV and radio, it would at least give something to look forward to.

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I think the return of some sport, any sport would be welcomed as it would hopefully mean we`d be getting back to some kind of normality. It would give everyone a boost IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Has no one realised that you can still watch Belarus League football??? In an incredible turn of events Neman beat Vitebk 2-0. Crazy result! This was obviously eclipsed yesterday when Dynamo Brest thumped Slutsk 1-0. Absolutely incredible- the worlds gone mad. As the Belarus authoritarian/dictator President says: " There is no Corona Virus if you drink vodka and do farm work". (*) Thank goodness for football and all those involved in making such great decisions. (*) he really did say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.G.Red Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 It will be interesting how many people after a possible 12 weeks of no football , will not renew for next season as they’ve found other things to do and saved money not just on the ticket but everything associated in going to a match , Food, drink and transport costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Not missing football - as things stand I'm treating this break as the close season. As for OTIB, hope the more amusing and light hearted posters will continue to post regularly, and those not normally of that mindset will make an effort to be so. No end of websites to go on and be depressed, it would be great if we all try to ensure (as far as possible) that OTIB isn't one of them. Not surprisingly quiet on here though - a good time for those who have never started a thread to rack their brains and break their duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
