It was a very strange day on Saturday, I think we all went through just about every emotion possible before we'd even got to the game. Wishing it was another week away....then 10 minutes later being thankful it was a 12.30 KO so we didn't have to wait until 3pm!
My heart was thumping out my chest! So very very emotional! In tears one minute, then screaming yourself hoarse for a goal the next!
I'm really really thankful though at the way we all picked each other up afterwards. Everyone seemed to just say Feck it - those Bar Stewards won't beat us! We're down, but by Christ we're not out! Everyone burst into song, and The Innes was full of banter and County songs again - fantastic! Just like the good old days!
That's what I'm going to really take from this season. Supporting your team, for most of us, is a release. A way of taking all the crap from your daily life, and for 90 mins just giving it some, having the time of your life, and cheering for the team you love.
Football is not about being in the SPL....the Old Firm.....or the Glory of being a giant killing "diddy team".
It's about 3pm...Saturday afternoon...being with your mates...getting the craic...singing Caley Songs....and supporting the boys - through thick and thin!
