It's quite ok to be that way this week.
"It’s only a game. Nobody dies if we go down.
Have some perspective"
This winds me up. Nobody is stupid enough to not realise that football/Blues has its place in any person's list of priorities. We don't need to be told of nurses' low wages or a horse dying in a box every time anybody comments on what a totally calamitous situation this is. It's a disaster, not in the context of a boat going down but in the context of what this forum is all about, it's a disaster and we're allowed to call it that without being corrected. Once it's done, it's done and we have to get on with it but until then it's ok to feel a bit crap about things.
As I've said before, it is what it is.
Life will go on the same.
Not convinced it is a disaster even in football context tbh.
I'm a chilled out entertainer about relegation. Confident we'll be promoted next season, if not, we'll win the division the season after.
Would rather avoid it and spend about a hundred billion dollars on top players this summer mind.
But it's not a disaster. Going down under BSHL would have been a disaster.

Spot on.
I also hate "first world problem". Yeah I know, I live in the first world, and feel forever blessed for that.

This all day long.
The worst thing about the last day of the season is grown men crying in the stands. I really hope we don't see that over-dramatic nonsense.
Often relegation highlights other issues in peoples lives, I remember a family member of mine (who has since passed himself) dragging an 18 stone man out of a pond late in the evening in the early 90's.
He'd had a few in a nearby pub and relegation became too much so he decided to enter the pond, not realizing it was only 3 feet of water at its deepest.
The scariest thing was that was that their was a very deep lake just beyond the trees, but mostly out of sight.
Take relegation on the chin, it will look much brighter in a year.
We haven’t even been relegated.
Worrying means you suffer twice.
Well said Mig.
We are all, well some of us are, aware of bigger things in life, from the tiniest personal mishap to potential geopolitical catastrophe.
As a Blues fan, you feel it and you experience it. And in the tougher times the feeling and experience goes deeper, and it is OK to worry/care/speculate/ about this little compartment of your life.
Worrying about Blues doesn’t t stop you from donating to Medical Aid For Palestine.

As that Buddha says, it's 'just' a compartment of our lives, at least for most of us. While we're in that compartment though, it's pretty important. I shall sulk - no doubt about that - but only for a couple of days, because the mistakes have been made, the anger at stuff will have been spent, and the I shall then look forward to a rosy Blues future.
Obviously, the club is important to us, or we wouldn't be part of a Blues forum for one thing. I will hate relegation, because it's failure and will set us back. However, there's not much that we can do about it but carry on supporting the club. When we were relegated in 2011, the feeling of despair went much deeper - I couldn't see a way back with the owners at the time. I'm not saying that I thought that there wasn't one, it was just that everything was so vague, unlike under DS and DG.
I will feel differently about this one, and will be confident that it's a step back - an unpalatable one, of course - to take many steps forward. And, well.... FEA.
Yeah, I’m a nervous bastard about it at the moment and will be until the final whistle.
If we go down I’ll be a miserable fecker for a few days and then accept it and look forward to a raft of signings in the summer.
The ONLY negative to my mind about relegation will be away tickets will be THAT MUCH harder to get hold of
It is the ONLY negative.
Chill.
We have 5 years to sort this
colinpNo problem if your a OSC member
Fixed it for you.
