I'm A Fan!

[shred]

What kind of fan are you when you're watching your favourite team play? Do you curse like a sailor? Are you a restless kind who likes to pace, jump up and down, etc?

How passionate of a fan are you?!

[Shaun]

I am an extremely calm and rational fan

[Beck]

So calm you throw things

I am a pretty passionate fan. I pace sometimes if things are close, and often have to leave the room then come back. Then leave again My stomach knots up and I feel sick sometimes. Oh and I get grumpy as when my teams lose badly.

Oh babe, you make me laugh

I'm terrible, i admit it I scream, i rant, i issue death threats, i swear. I have on occasion thrown things, but they are usually things like pillows so don't do any damage. I take things seriously so i get nervous and sick and extremely upset when things don't go my teams way. If my team is ripped off the wrath is IMMENSE. For example last year by Bulldogs were royally ripped off by the cheating scum that is Jamie Soward from Scum George and the blind video ref. I went completely off my head. I cried. I screamed. It cost us the Minor Premiership. Scum George are my most hated side in the competition now. I will not get over it any time soon. And i should note that all of this comes from my mother, its in my genes. She is fricking crazy I will never forget during the cricket world cup of 1999 i woke up to her screaming. I got up and found her packing a bag because she was going to England to kill Paul Reiffel

Being so passionate means that losing GF's is without a doubt one of the worst feelings in the world. Absolutely horrid. But on the flipside winning GF's is one of the best feelings in the world ;D

lol I am a bad fan. I scream, I yell, I threaten, I abuse and I swear at everything lol

[Ange]

I am pretty passionless, I cheer if my team scores, laugh when the other team takes hard hits and if my team is losing I stop watching and just check later to see how things ended. When the Roughriders (my mom and I love this team) won the cup she was so freaking happy, when we got disqualified two mins later for having one too many players on the field my mom was livid... she packed up all her fan stuff and went to drive it out to the Sask border and dump it there. Me, my sister and brother seem to have escaped without this craziness gene.

[Beck]

Nah it is crazier not to care imo I rarely turn off a game even if I have given up on my team. I might leave the room for awhile, but it stays on.

I would have believed you Shaun, if Loz and Beck didn't say otherwise!

I never understood yelling at a TV screen. They can't hear you. I can understand a little bit when you're watching the game live because of the atmosphere, but I get extremely annoyed at people yelling at the TV.

I get excited if the team I am rooting for is winning, but I don't get angry when they loose.

[Nico]

I definitely jump at goal scoring opportunities and probably get loud but I always watched the football with my parents and brother who were all also loud !

I definitely yell at the screen, it is probably one of the only times I swear alot to, we also have heated debates about how that player for the other time is such a mindless loser who has no talent but not technically a debate because we all say the same thing, I couldn't watch a sporting game with people not as passionate about it as me .

How can you not love the adrenaline surge you get! the emotional ups and downs and the complete twisting of your insides due to nerves, it is like natural drugs it completely clears out the system!

Oh honey you have to project the right vibe through the screen for your team to feel

I love my team when they are winning and when they are losing. Every win is a bonus and reason to celebrate and every loss has its positives if you look for them instead of getting upset

[Loz]

Was thinking about you Sunday Nate!! So close! I was impressed with your boys. Have been all season really.

And Nate is right Bre. It's all about projecting vibes. And I believe I am loud enough for them to hear in some way

[Bre]

Yes I'm sure your vibes reach them.

[shred]

I yell at my TV too but not so much as I'm the only football-watching person in the family and I have to be quiet since the games are usually on after midnight. But I do jump around and run around the living room whenever my team scores. Quietly of course.

I also wear my team's jersey for every game. ;D I may not be as crazy as some fans but my family sure thinks so!

She really is.

And I am a calm fan! I only get upset when I have reason to

[Deleted]

I'm very anxious, shouting, cheering, etc. when I'm watching at home. If I'm out watching somewhere with friends, I'm a little more subdued because I don't like making a scene in public.

[Beck]

I am not too bad at a game mostly. Unless I get really pissed off or I've had a few too many beers or other alcoholic beverage

[shred]

I've never watched a game live or at a pub with friends. I must do so when I head back to Singapore.

[Beck]

Wow really? I've been to a few games live but not as many as I would like.

[shred]

It's quite difficult to watch a English football game 'live'.
