People have been crying at football for as long as football has been popular.

It's a joke to be honest.I wouldn't mind the players crying if they lose a final or something like that as they would have put in so much effort to get there and to lose it would be heartbreaking.

"At" being the key word.

Shels -v- Limerick, last kick of the game goal for Limerick sent a large amount of Shels fans into tears in Tolka that night, me included.

Shels -v- Finn Harps in October tears of happiness were on the card for a good few, again myself included.

A good friend of mine was bawling his eyes out on the LUAS on his way to watch Shamrock Rovers' first match in Tallaght Stadium.

Can't see why it would bother you if people cry at a football match? It's not like they are crying for some 16 year old singer or anything pointless like that. People have emotional ties with their football club, so whats wrong with shedding a tear or two? Just because you don't cry at games cos "you is hard" doesn't mean its ridiculous for someone else to do it.

He wasnt alone

I cried at a match once.

Was a very emotional CL night and there can be a lot of emotion in the atmosphere sometimes that can affect you in different ways.

I have been overjoyed, mad as fcuk and once devastated to the point of tears. I was a good bit younger then I am now though

It seems crazy but that guy has prob lived for man city his whole life(which to me is the sad thing but whatev) so he is so emotionally caught up in it, he feels close to the players(even tho he isn't) and feels the league win will have some lasting impact on him(even tho it won't) that that defeat with news of united winning 2-0 has brought him to tears.

No real issue at all with it either. If you invest so much into it, there's got to be a release..

I saw a few hardened old-time seen it all Rovers fans weeping walking back up Richmond Rd after the relegation play-off in 2005. Last time I felt close to it was a FAI Cup semi final defeat at Dalymount - last time the Shopping Centre end was open I think where Rovers battered Bohs and Crowe scored his standard 88th minute winner.

I do prefer the stare/glare at nothing in particular for an interminable length of time.

This is my preferred move these days when the worst happens

I know one Shels fan who still isn't able to talk about that night

Real men don't cry, they hold it in until it erupts either in a murder or a suicide.

See here's where I make the distinction. The above games actually had something significant riding on them.

City's defeat to Swansea decided nothing in the grand scheme of things. I wonder if cries every time City lose a game...

Meh, let him cry. Lets be fair, they have waited donkeys years for a league title, and again they may well not get it. Being honest I certainly felt like crying at the end of the cheated play off in Paris.
