Trav Le Bleu Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 One Match Syndrome (or OMS) is the clinical condition which causes a football supporter to adjust their expectations for the rest of the season purely on their team's last performance. Symptoms include: Calling Radio Leicester to express your disgust in the inconsistency of a team that doesn't win every match and therefore has no ambition. Ripping up your season ticket because your team conceeded a late goal after a spirited comeback. After a flukey 1-0 win (goal off Vassell's backside from 30 yards out) you now believe that we will storm the league and maybe even win a cup! You get excited because we are being linked with a player who was once quite good, yet faded into obscurity, but the manager must have unearthed a forgotten gem. This shows how serious our club is! I'm guessing we've all had these symptoms at one time or another to varying degrees. I'm inspired (if that's the right word) to write this after listening to the last lot of people who rang into RL after the match and memories of many more and on occassion, even my own post-match feelings (I've learned never to come on here and post immediately following a match!) Just a bit of fun.

North-LondonFox Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 aha ! Nice topic.. I have the last 2 symptoms Yep I have a number of those symptoms - filled withoptimism after a win (no matter ho fortuitous!) and filled with gloom after a defeat! I am always excited by the mention of an exotic signing as well and I was convinced that Robbie Keane would come and be some sort of Messiah!

samjohnson Posted 5 December 2010 Posted 5 December 2010 I seriously can't wait for the Moan-in now... You just need a qualified doctor to pick up the phone and say "OMS" and put it down before some biggot starts moaning about Gallaghers left foot or Weales innability to wipe butter off his gloves.
