I wasn’t there but I wouldn’t have left early if I was. (Had a job interview up north so couldn’t be there)
I ended up having to watch it on my iPad and I don’t blame anyone for leaving early. We weren’t just 3-0 down, we were showing no signs of life.
There’s no need to call it a walk of shame, but nights like Friday are why those of us who stay, stay. Because there is no better feeling in football than an unlikely last minute comeback, or winner.
.....and on nights like Friday, missing that feeling is it’s own punishment. There’s no need for name calling.
As an aside, a combination of goal alerts, & texts from Jane, were arriving a little before each goal on the iPad. Just a I said ‘ironic cheers from the Holte because we’ve actually got a corner’ - my phone went ‘ping’ & I was surprised to see we were about to score! It possibly spoilt it a bit to actually be waiting for the 3rd to go in after getting a text from Jane saying ‘Yesssssss!!!’ But not much!
As a further aside, the other game I had to miss this season was Forest. There’s a theme emerging.
