Man on my facebook reckons he needs a day off work because of emotional stress, I said he should have one if he needs it and asked the reason why.

He said the footy results.

he is being deadly serious and saying he's suffering from 'football related sadness' and that he feels so alone and upset, he is crying.

Now I fully understand mental illness having suffered/suffering from it myself... but really?

Maybe a sign of something underlying you may say but I've known him for a good few years and football really does seem to get him down when his team loses!

Anyone else glad they don't have a partner who is obsessed with the football?!

I can relate to the Henrik Larsson comments early on in this thread. And a few women I know were fairly emotional about Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry a few years ago.

KenDoddsDadsDog Yes, they got a fantastic reception. Despite the poor game I think the fans are just so relieved to stay up. You know how it is. Grin
