Topic: crying at matches

During last night`s Champions League final, the camera panned in on a weeping Inter fan. I like to think I`m in touch with my emotions but have to confess ... I`ve never cried at a Pars game despite the roller-coaster ride of 50-plus years as a fan. Has anyone ever shed actual tears at a Pars match?

2 for me and probably more because of the celebrations from who I go to the games with.

Stenny away winning 5-4 late on and then probably when Tom Beadling equalised at Parkhead.

Think I cried up at Inverness as a kid when we got relegated

C'mon Ye Pars!

Happy tears. Half time at Scottish Cup Final against Celtic, being 1 up and My dad set me off, saying it was one of the best moments of his life, being there with me šŸ˜šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Sad tears. Full time in Perth, against Hafffanafirdyor. Never felt so low at a game. 😢😢😢

Inter fan looked like a massive idiot to a material portion of the population of the planet.

Football is not worth that.

Only time at a game was I had been in Edinburgh the night before and woke up late in a random flat at 12pm on a full stomach… down to Waverley and train to Dunfy and my stomach broke just outside EEP..sat on the pan in the norrie stand toilet missing the first half with tears of cramps in my belly….
Only other time was Norries goodbye ceremony at EEP when Bert got up and couldn’t speak….

Mon the Pars!

I always think it`s people who don`t go to the games that cry.

The camera always picks up at World Cups etc. usually more photogenic than this blubbing mummies boy! If he was an Inter fan, he would like all football fans be used to crushing disappointment.

Even saw it Scotland in Germany, probably just for the cameras.

In all my years watching the Pars, I`ve never felt like blubbing, and I can greet over a film!

And saying that, you get extreme emotions following a diddy club like ours, but greeting during a game?

Probably the worst was I was genuinely a bit depressed when Tidser was manager.

11th May 1985.
We had just beaten Berwick 2-1
Alloa had been winning 0-1 at Arbroath and news filtered through that Arbroath had equalised. Everyone was on the park thinking we had been promoted.
After at least 5 minutes of celebrating Leishman came out and announced that Arbroath had not equalised and we were in the 2nd division for another season.
I had tears streaming down my cheeks and I was far from being the only one.

I was thinking about that day/game earlier. I finally watched the documentary about the Bradford fire this evening. Tears in my eyes a few times during that, but not on the day itself at East End (or any other).

It`s on iPlayer, well worth a watch.

Closest would be the Clydebank game just after Norrie died. You could feel the weight of the occasion hitting the players particularly when we let a 3-0 lead slip to be 3-3 and with the fans really getting behind the boys, we somehow salvaged the winner with that glorious strike from Craig Robertson.
It just felt like all the emotion from that week were released in that shot and you felt it on the terracing.

Not directly crying at a match, but Norrie’s ceremony at EEP reduced a 15 year old me to tears when Bert Paton was so emotional. The whole situation just got me and I never even knew him.

Actually at football, no. Maybe I’m just not an emotional guy. I was probably close when Robertson scored again Clydebank in that game or Petrie up at united.

Don’t understand it myself…

Yes I get excited, happy, sad, pissed off, etc like everyone else…

But for me, doesn’t come close to ā€˜real’ things that are actually worth crying about… which for me doesn’t really go any further than my immediate family

Never cried at a game, but the most emotional Pars goal ever must have been the 4th against Clydebank. The emotional release around the ground was unbelievable

Whenever someone gets seriously injured - that sets me aff - doesn’t matter which team šŸ˜‚. Belly’s injury at Morton - gawd whit a state I was in when he was stretchered off.

That game at St Johnstone - gret aw the way hame.

I remember the updates on this forum when it went to court.
It was genuine real drama in real time waiting to hear if we were going to stay in business.

I remember Raith fans handing out fake pound notes in the boozer before that game.
I took it in good humour but our future was genuinely up in the air by the time we played that match.
Rovers board trying to cash in on our support left a bad taste in the mouth though.

Sport brings out emotions. Sadness is an emotion, happiness is an emotion. Therfore, being an emotional person, I have cried at matches, and watching matches on tv. Not full on blubbering except when I was a kid, but definitely tears that fall silently down my face.

I feel no shame about it, I would feel shame if sport was the one and only thing that made me cry, but it isn`t, so I`m ok.
