What should you do if your footy team is crap?

[Jazzie]

This is quite a good read .. although it is directed to the AFL, it is relevant to all football codes. Just insert Mariners where Crows appear.

If you're 90% of CCM fans you bury your head in the sand and go "la la la I am not listening".

Well as a parramatta fan and a mariners fan i keep saying next year will be our year. I have been saying that since 86 for parra and the last 4 years for the mariners but next year will be the year of the blue and yellow.

Clearly wasn't the case last year, did you not see the low crowd figures?

*edit*  "CCM fans that bothered turning up who were still in denial about how shit it had become".

It wasn't so bad supporting CCM last season - from the half-way mark it was quite obvious we were crap. So when I went to matches (I only missed one, because of illness, and that one was the defeat of the Scum, what a bastard), I expected crap & so wasn't too disappointed when I got it.
The bad situation is when you support a team which most years is almost but not quite good enough, and you know it. I have supported Collingwood for 50 years, and have sat through more losing Grand Finals than supporters of any other club. That is bad enough, but when your team is in a winning position at half time against the team you hate most in the world (1970 against Carlton comes to mind, aarrrggghhh vomit), you really really want to slash your wrists, throat, genitalia - take your pick - when your team manages to fall in a screaming heap & loses.

Therefore, CCM, please in this coming season, either win everything or be absolutely crap. Being almost good enough but not quite is too soul destroying for me at my age, and besides Collingwood does it so much better, having had so much more experience at it.

Well as a parramatta fan

There's your problem

Just an idea ... my Mum (now in her late 80's) lived near a creek and when someone did not do the right thing they where thrown in the creek...

Many a ref and player went for a dip...

Now we could arrange many things on the coast... the middle of Brisbane waters... the middle of Lake Macquarie, Wyong River.... off a beach...

Of course each player and member of the coaching staff may get different swims... like some could be tired to the wreck when it is sunk... others .. say an own goal thrown into Brisbane Waters...

We would need some kinda of mistake and swim list... and weather or not they are given any aids like a boat or say a ship anchor..

Could be an interesting list ... Thrown in at Soldiers in a heavy sea if you don't give 100% against the SCUM...

Wow, that's so much like me it's creepy.

The problem is my expectation. I need to lower it so I can enjoy some matches

I been an eel since Cumberland Oval had that unfortunate incident with the naked flame...as for the Mariners and the Slipperys...i'm starting to think its the combination of the colors Blue & yellow

I remember walking back to my car one night after we lost at home in the ACL...  a line of folk in their mariners shirts... anyhow these three guys come over and say did Parramatta have a open training night tonight ... what followed was funny ... one of the Parrma guys was pissed to the eye balls and refused to believe these where Mariners colours and wanted to fight everybody .. same guy was having difficulty standing up... sorta of was made me feel what else can go wrong...
