Have you ever shed a tear after a big game?

I balled me eyes out last year, we were knocked out of the championship, semi final stage and the referee wrongly dis-allowed a goal. To compound my misery his two linesmen said the goal should have stood.

Cried when we got bet in Minor Grade 1 championship semi a few years back. We went into the game without the heads screwed on- talkin about the final etc before the game.

Lost two u-21 finals in a row. Got sent off in one and we ended up only losing by a few points. Cried in anger and frustration at myself.

I shed a tear when we were beat in the AI club intermediate final, absolutely heartbreaking.
In saying that the run to the final had some of the most joyous days of my life, grinning from ear to ear til my cheeks hurt for some of those days.
Brings a smile back even thinking about it.

why where you kept on then , surely your a liability then as if you cant see or have double vision etc you wouldnt be able to follow your man or find a pass whatever the case may be , through no fault of your own obviously

Yes I do that but only after the Wife and 4 kids inform me that they all have decided to go to the game with me, my Budget suddenly quadruples,I do have some Scottish blood in my though so that could be a factor.
