There's no way I'm taking the cork out of that bottle.

Vintage 97 is still too fresh, let alone 09.

still saved on my HDD Recorder but haven't gone near the playback button on that one. Prob not til we win one (in my lifetime that is).

To three qr time, yes. Like the team, I couldn't go on with it.

Yep,took a different view to last year then that of 1997 which I still have not watched after following this club for 36 years last year has been the best year for following the Saints.
It was a great game even though the result was so disappointing I reminisced on what a great year it was and what could have been.
Its what makes me coming back year after year for the holy grail .

Just the highlights hurt in the pre-game promos. May watch when we finally win one. More likely I will just watch the winning one on repeat and enjoy this place, which surely would be united as one if that ever happens!

To this day, I still change the channel if anything to do with it comes on. Whenever those ads/previews of them holding the cup come on I look away. It pains me too much and I don't ever want to feel how I felt in those last 5 minutes, head in hands not baring to watch.

Yes i have, it hurts everytime but i do it.

never ever will

Being there was enough. Cannot go there again.

I change the channel or click off the internet page when I see them holding the cup as well.

However, I am completely convinced we are going to be there again this year and believe we are going to win it.

i have watched the highlights on youtube but close the page after Bakes does that amazing dive and saves a goal.

Well if you can't accept the fact that we lost the Grand Final last September, what hope do we have of moving on and winning this year. You're all a bunch of sooks who should grow up and get a life.

Doesnt mean you need to watch the game though.

I accept we lost the grand final but that doesnt mean it doesnt hurt to watch it.

No it doesn't, but if you haven't why make a song and dance about it?

What does us moving on have to do with the side winning?

We dont play!

Can imagine the story in the Hun, "Reiwoldt says if four fat bastards and a single mother of 3 off an internet forum had of moved on, we probably would have won it!"

As you can tell, I have not watched it and have no intention of watching it either, nor have I watched 97! Theres enough crap stuff in this world, why rewatch a game of footy that didnt go your way, things like footy, music and movies etc are for enjoyment IMO.

I don't really care whether you've watched it at all. All I'm saying is if you haven't watched it, why do people post crap like this? Are they just trying to feel superior? I think so.

So, why not say, I think it is imprtant to watch it as it helps you to move on, I cant see why you would not be able to watch it if you can post about it on the internet?

Instead of calling people sooks and telling them to get a life?

Not sure how the OP was superior, dont know if you have something on going with this poster? But it seemed like A) a reasonable question and B) an over reaction of an answer, to verbal someone because they say they cant re watch a game of footy?

If I met you at a party or work or whatever, we got talking and discovered that we were both saints supporters, then I said to you I had never watched either the 97 or 09 GF again, would you look me in the eye and say,"your a sook mate, get a life, your acting superior?"

I doubt it

what gf???

SaintPav · Post: # 946248Post **SaintPav** » Thu 24 Jun 2010 5:30pm

I watched it on the net but had to stop watching half way through the second quarter after I realised that we should have been 30 points up. That would have been enough of a buffer on the day and while Geelong would have come at us in the second half we would have won by two goals but it wasn't meant to be......maybe in 2010 hey?

Seems with a post like this you are the sook, and gee you have been sooking most of this year if you read back over your offerings on here. Your posts have been on the downhill for some time and this sort of post is just another example.

Plenty of people don't want to re-watch a losing GF that the team they LOVE played in, not really that hard to fathom is it??

And what difference it would make us moving on and winning this year I have no idea. Just utter BS and confrontational and one of the reasons this place so often descends into anarchy on just about every thread.

All the OP was asking was whether people on here were able to stomach watching it and if it made them feel better for having done so. Quite reasonable.
