So what type of fan are ya?

Are you the brood for a fortnight when City lose?

Me? I don't let the football, spoil the football and move on almost immediately barring special occasions, these are mainly special days out or promotion/relegation then I give football some extra time.

Totally agree.

On Saturday 8th I have arranged hospitality for 2 mates and myself which will involve a 12pm start, hopefully a City win but moreover a day and night of laughs in Exeter

If a loss is accompanied by a singular lack of effort and will, but only brood for the day.

Also not broody unless it's a particularly abject display after what I consider to be a very important game, and I probably consider only 1 or 2 to be in the VERY important category each season. That Torquay home game a couple of seasons ago when we were dropping like a stone towards the relegation places and played like complete garbage was the last time I was truly apoplectic after a match, much more about the whole beer and match day experience for me

Hate losing, if we do normally go home kick the cat and drown my sorrows :) but love the social side of it before the game and the build up.

I'm not so bad when it comes to watching City but I'd be in a right one for the rest of the evening if we lost when I was playing. Saturday evenings are always so much better with a victory on a Saturday afternoon.

Backing Gary Caldwell, thanks Matt and good luck.
I don't find it easy to pigeon hole myself. Sometimes I can be furious after a loss or even a draw(Barnet home in our first season back in league 2 being an example when I stormed out of the o.g after their second goal, possibly just as well as I'm told we nearly let in a third just after) and sometimes it almost makes me smile because you can see it happening a mile off.

I don't like losing but if we have given 100% and the opposition have got the better of us then I can't really complain about the outcome.

Set your sights low and you won't be disappointed too often.
