The nerves don’t usually kick in until about pg7 off the matchday thread
If I’m not watching the match I check the score BUT I look how many goals the opposition have scored first so if it’s nil then our goals are a bonus and if they have scored we might have scored too.
Totally ridiculous.
Agree 100% with this. Rarely ever get nervous in the ground. At home, Nothing short of keeling over, It's desperate.Simple answer. I don’t cope!!
being in the ground is far easier
When I'm at the game - not so tense because I can see us in control. On tv against the elite, slightly twitchy because I can't see the whole pitch.It's a lot easier when you're in the stadium surrounded by fellow blues because whatever the result you suffer or celebrate together.
Watching the match on TV you only see what the producer wants you to see not the whole scope of the game unfolding on the pitch. Your only supporters are the commentators who are usually the opposing fans or Mrs Hoghead, who to be fair, is normally shouting at the TV at the absurdity of the commentators or looking at cute kittens on Facebook.
Watching on TV is pretty souless and I tend to get up and hide behind the settee when the match ain't going well.
