Have you ever cried or been right angry at a sporting event

SugarShane88 · 26-01-2014 11:59PM

I repeatedly punched a marble fireplace after Birmingham nicked the league cup over Arsenal three years ago to the point where my hand was numb.

By the time I had finished the place looked like a crime scene due to the blood - and perhaps it's apt because IT WAS A F*CKING ROBBERY.

Sorry I still haven't recovered. Football, eh.

I was really angry after Henry's handball. Completely sickened.

The closest I came to tears was when France were awarded a controversial late try against Scotland in 2007 to deny Ireland the Six Nations that year.

Actually, I cried when Schillaci scored against Ireland at Italia '90, but I'm not counting that because I was 5 :pac:

When Robbie keane scored against Germany in 02world cup I cried tears of joy.....

When ronaldo went to Madrid because I already supported united and Barcelona so I was raging I'd have to support Madrid as well.

A Liverpool follower here so anger and disappointment boxes ticked, and I'm from Mayo so obviously witnessed a few angry croke park moments, ah Mayo, when will we ever win it.

Iniesta's equaliser at the bridge in that scandalous disgrace of a "game" in 2009 .... worst sporting moment of my life ... I was in tears the next day ...

Not even that much of a Rugby fan, but when I was 13 or 14 I remember being utterly furious and distraught when one of the French players scored the final try required for them to overtake Ireland on score difference for the 6 Nations. It was the last play of the last game and had to be called to a video ref and all.

Was probably just youth, but even in all the matches I've played or watched in hurling/football/soccer/rugby I have never been as angry at anything as much as I was at that.

Think I know the French game you're on about. Felt sick after that. Was it Clerc that scored?

Are you related to him??

donfers · 27-01-2014 12:27AM

sad and angry loads of times, two that stand out as the lowest of the low are obvious

henry handball: really angry

NZ last play try: sad/gutted/devastated

it's only sport yes but it still hurts

sinead88 · 27-01-2014 12:29AM

I actually have. At the last Olympics I was ridiculously emotional, which is weird because I genuinely never cry at any movie even, well unless an animal dies, in which case I'm inconsolable. Basically anytime anybody got a medal I was a wreck! It might have something to do with living in Scotland where it was covered 24/7. Also I was in Krakow for the Wimbledon final last year. We went to an Irish bar and were very disapproving of a really loud stag do until we had a few drinks and joined them in drunken loudness. Actually sobbed with happiness when Andy Murray won. Shameful!

Ah yeah the day he was from britain.

Definitely teared up at the end of ireland's defeat to Italy in 1990. Not really because we lost but it was probably the crescendo of emotion of being proud of getting so far and also admiration at the team and supporters being so gracious in defeat.

Spunge · 27-01-2014 12:35AM

I always found the highs and lows people get from watching sports to be so strange. I hate when Ireland are playing in the world cup coz everyone gets super emotional and i just dont get it. If i had a choice id love to be able to get those highs/lows from merely watching some sporting event, my brain just doesnt get it.

I'm from Mayo....you do the math!

rainbow kirby · 27-01-2014 12:37AM

As a Man U supporter - most of this season! :pac:

Yes, every time I see McShane putting on a green jersey. He has the first touch of a hungry child.

A meaning-less friendly in November where the All Blacks were rounding off their toughest ever run of games. That bunch had been on the go virtually non-stop since the last World Cup, which they won. They had beaten England the previous week in a humdinger while we were hockeyed by an Australian team that we completely under-estimated and who were also hungover from their trips to 'Coppers':o:o

ghogie91 · 27-01-2014 01:09AM

Pretty sure I cried when United finally won more leagues than the scouse

Keeping in mind the crying wasnt due to the event, it was due to the 20 pints, and im pretty sure I cried because I made it home and probably had to crawl the last 200 yards or so cause the legs wouldnt work anymore and didnt end up in a ditch

so no really, although when Henry did handball I was angry

Nothing the DJ in the nightculb didnt fix with a few rebal songs and half a bottle of jameson

mickstupp · 27-01-2014 01:12AM

I cried during the last Rocky movie, does that count?

No, definitely not.!! That was just a bandwagon too.:D:D

mutley18 · 27-01-2014 01:21AM

Bog Snorkelling Championships 2007, never will there be a more emotional moment in sport for me than when wee Seamie O'Neill took home the gold and dedicated the win to his sheepdog Sally who had major surgery at the vets that week.

martic · 27-01-2014 01:22AM

I couldn't console myself during Big Joe Joyce fighting Aney McGinley, an emotional moment.

Meauldsegosha · 27-01-2014 01:22AM

I stood on the Hill with my dad in 1995 and cried when Dublin won the All Ireland. Stood on the Hill again in 2011 and cried but they were bitter sweet tears cos my dad wasn't there.

I also remember a little tear when Michael Carreuth (sp?) won his gold medal. No idea why.

27-01-2014 01:22AM

2010 Leinster Football final. Disgraceful.

Mickey H · 27-01-2014 01:41AM

I roared B0l1ocks very loudly when Dublin beat Mayo in the All Ireland SFC last year.

Does that count OP?
