SecretSam Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 It's all my fault A few seasons back, under Johnson snr, I kept turning on the radio or looking on the internet with a few minutes to go, and we'd invariably let in a goal and give away points Went on the 'net last night to look up the score, 1-1 at 90+2, then refreshed....

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 At 1-1 I had the BBC match page up on my iPad but (and I know that this is tragic) after the City equaliser I had covered over the City half of the score with a book, so I could only see the Wolves score and scorers. The theory behind this was that as long as Wolves score remained 1 then at the final whistle I would be able to take the book away and discover that City had scored more than 1. Imagine my state of mind when the Wolves score increased to 2, just as I was expecting it to go yellow on the final whistle, and uncovering the City scored revealed the dismal truth. Is it just me that does things like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I was there last night, and we were saying going into the last 5 mins, that a draw was a good result, especially with other results as they were. We then heard Rotherham had gone one up, and the bloke two along from me said "do you still think it's a good point"....I was still happy. But the late goal was a killer. Had Rotherham not won, a defeat wouldn't have seemed anywhere near as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42nite Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 It's my fault. If I had cashed out at 1-1, I would have won my bet and Wolves wouldn't have scored I didn't cash out, I was being greedy and hanging on for a few pennies more, 3 minutes into added time. So Wolves were bound to score, and I lose my bet. I should have known! Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I turned RB off after we conceded the 2nd. Checked livescore.com 20 minutes later for the other final results and they had us down at 1-1 FT. Liars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saturday Boy Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 All first half I was at home on my own listening to Radio Bristol - all going well. Wife walks in and 30 seconds later, we concede. She leaves the room and things start looking up. She walks back in and almost immediately their winner goes in. And she wondered why I was in a mood!!

Is it just me that does things like this? My god. It most certainly isn't just you. Due to time difference, I'm usually asleep when city are playing. When I wake up to check the score, I always hide the city part of the scoreline and at first look at the number of goals we've conceded. That breaks me in gently to what the probable outcome was! Wierd habit but I just can't stop doing it that way. A funny time was when we played Barnsley once and I saw that they'd scored 3. I let out a profane curse only to uncover our score and see that it was 5-3 to us! Sometimes if I'm awake I'll follow the match thread here... When it says there's been like more than 10 replies I'll refresh in anticipation knowing there's been a goal but not knowing which way it's gone. I hate that.. Then you just need to look out for the usual posts "yessssssss" "get in!!!!" "Boom" or "balls" "ffs" "oops" or "bollox" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
