Yeah same here, we were on the balcony. Not good scenes at all!

Anyone catch the fighting in town outside Revs/Kings Head after the game? Was absolute carnage. Bottles, glasses, chairs, the lot. Was mad.

Give him captaincy, give him what he wants money wise and tell him he's spearheading the future of this club.

Is Evans the problem?

Pay Youri what he wants.

Does anything other than gegenpress work on this? Been a few years since I've properly played this and I'm a lower table side. Thought I'd try some counter attacking, direct type tactics because my players are a bit shit but got a bit of pace down the wibgs but I can't buy a win. Googled it and literally everything is about gegenpress. I'm a shite team in Uruguay with players who just about know what a football is. I'm not sure it's very realistic. Sometimes feel like you have to tick the right boxes to have any success. What if I want to play route one, lump it up football? Is there an actual method of playing that would make you the best route one, Big Sam, team going or am I resigned to having to go gegenpres rock and roll football just because it's in vogue at the minute? Feel like you shouldn't be forced to play a certain way to win on this and it feels like that's how it's going.

Quite good at biting my tongue and trusting the process as much as I can but it's just so bloody dour isn't it? It has been this way for ages and the cup wins have papered over it massively and I know that makes me sound like such an entitled nobhead but I can't help it. The second we get rid we'll get the whole "he won you the fa cup and community shield, be greatful etc etc" like when Ranieri went. I just can't be arsed with it. Injuries are just an excuse at this point, I'm not having it. They are experienced defenders. We've been shite since before we won the FA Cup and thank God Tielemens pulled that thunderbolt out his arse. We don't test teams at all. Possession football is a load of shite. The rumours about the camp not being the happiest from top to bottom don't suprise me at all. Something needs to change. I'm guessing Top isn't as involved with Covid and maybe that's had an impact on the club's day to day. I dunno. I don't get the same sense of togetherness anymore. Maybe it's just me? I'm just waffling. Football's shit.

Think after nearly 2 years I've got it. Positive lateral flow yesterday so waiting for pcr result. Hoping I'll be alright, double jabbed and that. Just a bit of a shitter isn't it.

Someone at work has a reliable source that told him Rodgers has taken his kids out of their school. No idea if it's been mentioned already or not but thought I'd stir the pot a bit anyway!

Thanks mate, I'm all set up. Got the entire campsite to myself 😂 I already feel better just pushing myself out of my comfort zone like this knowing I'm not at home wasting away and driving myself mad. Appreciate the kind words and hope the year mark helps me too in the same way it did for you.

Think I'm gonna take myself off tonight and go camping. Booked at some random campsite in the peaks. Packed the car and some essentials, gonna go Asda and get some bits to eat and just wing it. If I feel like carrying it on for a few days then so be it. Gotta keep busy.

Struggling recently. In 2 days it'll be a year since me and my long term gf broke up and I'm still not properly over it and I feel like I never will be. I feel my body and mind get anxious the closer the day comes and what doesn't help is that I have the week off. I just feel on edge the whole time and know I need to get out and do something to keep my mind busy, but equally I just want to stay in bed and break down and feel sorry for myself. I miss the life I used to have so much.

Any reccomendations for places in the UK to go for a night or two? I did an area near Snowden a few weeks ago and it was class just going to different pubs, having a wander and some nice food by myself. I climbed Snowden aswell like but it was just a lovely area to be in and I'd deffo do it again in the future. Thought it'd be weird but genuinely enjoyed the time to myself with a book and whatever. Was thinking Scotland but it's a bit much for only a couple of nights as it'll take like 6 hours to get up there but I'm open to anything really. Thinking down south potentially but like I say, very open.

Right, whats the craic today then? If we go into town am I going to get laughed away at every place trying to get in? Or is there some hope?

Does anyone know if you can get into Beacon Hill at night? I know parking is closed but if you park outside there's nobody about stopping people from going in is there? Fancy taking some pics of the city tonight at sunset and can't be arsed going to be turned away when I get there.

Is gegenpress OP again this year or can I play and actually get other tactics to work? Made it so unfun last year.

My ex has been in touch giving me signals that she regrets her decision and may have dreams of us getting back together in the future. She's essentially apologised for being so cold and for making the decision so quickly. Weird one. Thrown me a bit. Obviously I'm not going to go running back to her but I do believe everyone can make mistakes.

Thanks for this. I have now officially moved back in with my mum. It's not ideal obviously but I feel like actually being back here has made things a little easier on me. I'm not surrounded by memories and thoughts of happier times. I may be sleeping on the sofa and have no space to call my own but it's something. I have to remember it's not forever either. Monday was the last time I spoke to her too. Because of the house we've had to communicate throughout the last month so it's been bloody difficult to move on really. Hopefully now I can get that peace of mind and move on a bit. I do still have hopes that she regrets it all and changes her mind but I can't hold onto that. If it happens then it happens. Sometimes I wish she'd done something to make me angry and hate her but she didn't. She just did what she thought was right and fair. I have to respect that I guess. I think I'm going to get into painting a bit now, always something I've wanted to do and I thought why not. Get those emotions out somehow, no matter how shit it turns out haha. No idea where to start but that's part of the fun I guess.

Genuinely don't think things are getting any easier. I'm still in our house on my own for another week and think that isn't helping as I'm just by myself and the house is getting emptier day by day. Thinking of going to the GP but can't work out if it's just sadness over the situation or actually something's wrong with me. I just feel so ****ing low all the time.

Appreciate the support. 12 years must have been killer. Thing is for me is that there didn't seem to be anything wrong, we lived together we always did fun things and then she goes away, comes back and doesn't have the same feelings anymore. She didn't cheat before you say it but she just isn't the same person. I think she wants to see if she can go at things herself and not rely on me for her happiness anymore (which she definitely used to). It's been horrible. We are on talking terms although I am currently only talking to her about house related stuff and trying my absolute hardest not to engage in any chit chat. The evenings are the hardest but I genuinely do feel as though she will regret it when she looks back in a month or two, especially around Christmas time when we'd usually make a real big thing of it. I don't want to be naive and think she'll come back but I do, hand on heart, feel like it's a mistake on her part. It will take me a long time to get over it so I'm not going to jump on tinder or anything mad like that but obviously I can't be pining over what might happen. We still need to have a proper chat really. Is that a thing recently broke up couples do? Chat later on when things have calmed down a bit? I mean we talked on the night it ended but obviously that's not a proper talk is it.

Thanks guys. Yesterday was the first day I felt a bit like myself again. Today I've had to pack away some stuff in the house and it's just brought me down a bit. I miss talking to her and feel lonely. It's definitely going to take me a fair while before I feel somewhat like normal.

Nah it wasn't toxic in the slightest. In fact I haven't really been told what she's thinking, just that she doesn't feel the same way anymore. In time maybe we can talk again but I've basically gone no contact other than when we have to sort the house out because it's just too hard.

2 weeks out of a breakup of 7 years, living together for 2. She ended it for not having the same feelings anymore. It's been absolutely shit and although I feel like I'm coming out the other side somewhat it has been an absolutely horrible time for me. Maybe the worst I've ever felt. We are having to move back to our parents (at 30 that is pretty demoralising in itself) so having to pack the house bit by bit day by day is making things hard. I don't claim to have depression nor have I ever felt as though I have but if it's anything like this intense sadness I've felt these last 2 weeks then hats off to people who deal with it for years and years. I'm trying to keep busy and let time take its course like everyone tells you to but it is difficult to look to the future in the same way anymore. Anyone got any break up advice?

I have seen some shit on here in my time...

Signed up to make that post. Absolute state of it.
