Walk of Shame.
« on: February 08, 2019, 10:35:23 PM »
Who left at 0-3 then? (winky).

Reminded me of the Everton protest a few years back, must've been thousands that left from the hour mark.

If people left at 60, 70 or 80 mins, that’s up to them, let’s not have “I’m a better fan than you” bollox

I left the earliest I've ever left a match, 75 minutes, and could not give a fuck. "Walk of shame", my arse.

I have walked at 3 0 down before,

Earliest I ever left a game was Wigan at home during the first dreadful run under Lambert when we were ironically 3-0 down. Normally even with trashings I wait until 85th minute (would've probably left then tonight if we hadn't scored the first a few minutes earlier) but I just saw no hope at that time so left on 70th minute mark.

I wasn't having a go btw, we've all I'm sure missed key goals for leaving a minute or two early. Just haven't quite seen an evacuation like that at VP for many a season so was just interested who missed the epic comeback.

FML. I don't like it when ppl leave early. For 44 years, I've always said support your team until the final whistle, but the disgraceful embarrassing performance tonight lead to me leaving early for the first time ever on 80 minutes. I felt the Holte thud whilst taking a piss when the first went in then heard the second walking down Trinity Rd. Pissed off at such a shite abysmal performance for 80 minutes, and doubly pissed off with myself for leaving and missing the comeback.

As for the bloke in the Holte lower who started going mad at people leaving calling them blue noses, what a tool

I stayed until the end - More by luck than judgement/loyalty.  I sit in the DE and my lift home sits in the Trinity.  We always stay until the end and meet back at the car.  Loads around me left and I can't wait to see them next game to take the Michael.

I'm not a diehard though - Normally, I'm out at the earliest opportunity if we are woeful.  For the Sheff United away game, I was out at half time and in an off licence buying cans before the 2nd half kicked off.  For the 2015 FA Cup final, I never went back up for the second half.

I don't leave early as a general rule, but the day Coventry twatted us 4-1 at VP saw me on the Expressway when John Hartson scored.

I went to the game with my 6 year old daughter and at 3-0 asked if she wanted to go. She said no as we might score. So we stayed. Feel quite good now.

Understand why many did. Credit to those who stayed. We're all fans and neither are better than the other.

Ask her every time we're losing!
