It's not just a game (11 Viewers)

[rob9872]

In light of numerous Coronavirus, all threads now keep mentioning how it puts everything in perspective and is 'just a game' and less important.

If you're like me, then outside my family, it's the reason I get up, go to work to earn to pay for it and live and breathe CCFC.

I spend so many waking hours thinking about them, posting on here, on social media, being at games, travelling to and from games and talking football with family, friends and colleagues.

For many teams, this is possibly just another season, if this gets scrapped, then for us it's everything. Not only on the up, on the cusp of promotion, but I dont think we could repeat and I don't believe we'd last another L1 season outside the City. We lose the loans, undoubtedly our manager and best players and the upwards trajectory is reversed. So many years of misery, we simply have to finish this season.

If we dont, then what's the point in it all? Tbh without City, I might as well catch Coronavirus

Covid-19 is to be renamed snowflake-19

 

[Otis]

If the season is voided, Sunderland fans will be renaming it Sweet Karma-19.

Sweet Karma-19/20 to be more accurate.

You need to get out more.

You need to get out more.

One day we'll agree on something. It's not today.

 

[Nick]

You need to get out more.

Ironic.

 

[fatso]

Ironic.

The real irony would be getting the virus at the supermarket, while panic buying loo rolls.

I am in a football group chat and all the man u and liverpool fans etc are telling me i am a twat for caring about cov finishing season at a time like this

Maybe i am. But i also know i prob refresh sbt more times than they even think sbout their club per day!

This is leaving a hole in our habits. Of course its nowhere near as bad as ppl dying but i thibk its normal to be botheted by its impact on ccfc

 

[skybluebeduff]

I don't feel sorry for these players, they'll get paid whilst being self quarantined, out of the viruses harms way, meanwhile the general public still have to go to work, and be at an even more risk of catching this virus.

My Grandad on his death bed - said "How did the City get on today?"
You have to have things in life you are passionate about - Family/Friends/job/Football team/hobbies - otherwise what is the point

Why would you not leave that group?
They sound like a complete bunch of pricks.

Sound like gimps, the one I am in I wouldn't like to repeat online most of the time.

I wouldn't normally advocate a Nick style 2 footer but on this occasion...

How did they do that day? Hope they made him proud. I had an uncle that always said he refused to die until City won the F.A. Cup he passed away aged 89 in August of '87

Soft pricks probably claim a foul if somebody coughs.

Football is more than a game, there is not many things in life that play with my emotions in the same way that football does.

It means Alot to millions if not billions of people

Their bodies are no doubt better equipped to deal with ‘and beat the virus than most people as well.

I expect not a single one of their fans, even of an age, have any understanding of the achievement that surely will be now taken from us, what that feels like, and the very real effect it could have on us given our groundless situation. This has been a make or break year, and we will be broken. The situation in April will be worse (though probably less hysterical). This season's league will be voided.

Not a chance

Fuck sake forgot about the Spackems!! They will be praying it gets void so we don't go up

Already mentioned on their forum. If the season is suspended, I hope they don't get their parachute payment.

 

[covcity4life]

Of course there is a chance pete

Worrying times

Our onky hope is hysteria and cases go down and we try play through it

Virus wint be gone in a few weeks. Prob not few months

Coronavirus is karma because of people who vote for brexit

Bit like all the Manure "fans" I know praying for the title to be taken off of Liverpool. Bit embarrassing really.

The irony is that they are closing the borders all over Europe.
