Leaving the game early

Coach · January 7, 2015

Hahahaha. Sniff it you defeatist bells.

Have you tried getting away from Goodison after the whistle if you've parked nearby, or if you need to flag a taxi? It's bedlam.

I've left plenty of time before the final whistle whether we've been winning or losing, so not going to call anyone who did "bells" for it as it's making an unfair assumption as to why they left.

Azzurri · January 7, 2015

Never done it. Never will.

Just don't know what you'll miss.

I genuinely don't blame them, and I really don't think an equaliser so we can (probably) lose to West Ham away is much to convince me otherwise. I'd [Poor language removed] off to the pub too.

Lockie · January 7, 2015

Well I wouldn't, because I've never left a game early. But you get my point.

No mate I have never been to a game I only watch it on telly just so I can see how many people are leaving early.

Why would you pay lots of money for tickets if youre going to miss some of the best moments? Nothing beats late goals. I didnt even leave early in that wigan quarter final ffs, cant say i blame the ones who did on that occasion though.

Two of the lads next to me left with five minutes to go.
Mind you, I havn't showered for five days.

Actually, like most people who leave their seats early, they probably watched it on the screens down below and then pushed off sharpish after the whistle

It did cross my mind to do it if McGeady came on and I was consoled that Distin's removal reduced his potential appearance time.. oh me of little faith..

Did it for the first time in 37 years v Hull last week once the board went up - missed nothing. Don't understand it myself when there's only a goal in it but each to their own.

Leave 5 minutes to go every game and you miss 90 minutes of footbal in the course of a season. I can understand if you got a train to catch to London but there are people near me in the Park End who do it just to get the pub, lame.

Sat in the upper bullens and some fella left 5mins early and attempted to through his scarf to the pitch.

Park End was emptying, I was at the other and you could see it going. Can't fill the players with confidence knowing that you've effectively given up on them taking anything from the game.
