I understand completely how you feel about the game as a whole, Dev, but not altogether how you`ve arrived at this level of disillusionment with the club at this particular time. At the start of the season a lot of us – me included – were genuinely worried about another relegation but now I really don`t see that happening. I may be wrong – yet again – but I honestly think that we`re starting to turn a corner and that things have bottomed out. We`ll all forgive and forget a hell of a lot when things improve – that`s human nature.
We`ve both followed this club for a lot of years - about 60 in my case, probably the same in yours. We have a lot in common, even to the extent of having been born in the same building as I recall, and I`ve felt the way you do now a few times in the past. When that cowboy (Darren Roberts, was it?) first dragged our reputation into the gutter, then the fake prize-winner farrago, then the financial incompetence and the Ched Evans business; they`ve all brought me close to wanting to cut my emotional ties to the club. The fact is, though, that I can`t – and I`ll be very surprised if you can in the long term. Like you, I haven`t lived in the area for many years – 39, in my case – but even if I`ve been on the other side if the world CFC`s has always been the first result I`ve looked for and I suspect that it`ll be yours too.
We`ll all be sad to see you back away, Dev, but if that is your choice then so be it; it`s your life to live whichever way suits you best and gives you the least angst . Everyone of us is insignificant in the greater scheme of things, but we all have a duty to ourselves and to those closest to us to make life as emotionally garbage-free as possible – for us and for them. My advice would be not to take any of it too f@!king seriously!
Works for me. Good luck, mate.
