Damage you have caused whilst watching Tigers?

After Anasta kicked the field goal in 2010\. My reaction was filmed

I remember watching a game on the TV when my son was only 1 year old. I started blowing up, yelling, thowing my hands around… And then I look to my side and my son was copying me, laughing like it was the best joke in the world. Thankfully, I started to laugh too.

And I remember being in my car listening to the radio for a few games in the early days. I was just pulling into the garage when Blacklock scored that try. I couldn't get out of the car for about 15 minutes. There was a loss to the Cowboys too, where I started bashing the steering wheel in frustration. My wife (girlfriend at the time) just didn't understand what was going on.

The most recent one was a loss to Souths on a Sunday afternoon a couple years back. Watching it delayed on Nine, we were in with a chance of leveling up in the dying minutes. But then, looking at the time, I realised there was no time for overtime, so it gave away the end of the game. I was very close to doing some real damage that day.
 
I will not listen to our games in the car live.

Never ever

I think I could operate a vehicle better using a phone, eating soup, drinking whiskey and playing a piano accordion all at once on the M4 than drive and listen to us play live.
 
Pride.

Damaged Pride.

I remember sticking it up a Warriors support mate of mine when the Tigers were CRUISING at 20-6 and sticking it to the Warriors with about 20 to go during the Semi final in 2011\. Gave him gobfulls, jabs, pokes made outlandish claims, and relegated most of the Warriors team to The Vulcans for the next year.

Well then.

We all remember what happened that night….

I still argue with him to this day that Inu Knocked on contesting the Bomb with Tuqiri.

Anyone who knows me on here knows me as a pretty orange/black/white tinted Tigers supporter, but after that night, I now keep that kind of thing to my self.

On the home front - my wife thinks I'm insane at home during a Tigers game, and my kids don't approach me after a loss for about half an hour or so - also If they see the Tigers losing WHILE I'm watching it, they usually quietly and discreetly find something else to do before the game ends.

Father of the year material right here. :smiley:

I wish I could have seen my Dad's reaction to that. I watched it live, but he was out and recorded it on the Foxtel box. Now we all know what happens when a foxtel program runs over, it stops recording.

I got a phone call at 1AM.

Dad:"So what just ***** happened?"

Me: mmmmfff

Dad: Braith anasta kicked a field goal and the recording finished. What happened after that?

Me: The Roosters scored in Golden point and we lost. We're not out of it yet, I'll call you in the morning.
 
I am normally a very mild manored jovial type, that never angers, however when I watch the Tigers play, I have an alter ego dubbed Billy by my mates. Billy is famous and is often referred to as the evil twin. Most years he even gets birthday presents :slight_smile:

Im not much of a thrower or damager, but I am a screamer! I hurl abuse and my woohoohoo cry is famous around my house, the neighbours have been known to comment looks like the Tigers just scored!

There was a day when my mates girlfriend hear that the tigers squandered a big lead to get beat in golden point by Souths in a delayed sunday arvo game that she texted my wife and mate that they prob should leave me alone for the last 10 minutes of the game, and they snuck out so not to get caught up in "Billy's" disappointment

I have ordered my wife out of the room on occaision, but the most OTT thing I did was hurling my at the flaw one day and the battery flew out and put a chip in the entertainment cabinet, my wife was pissed but knew better than to comment at that time and jsut wait for Billy to leave before chastising me :slight_smile:
 
Let me see. This has been going on for years so I guess I've had phases.

One constant is that I love to drink a beer while watching live or on the tele. The better we play, the more I drink - the bloody bottles have holes in the bottom, I'm sure. The worse we play the less I drink and the sicker I feel.

I really hate the games when we are going great and I'm guzzling it down only to feel like regurgitating it all when we fold and get beat. Beer goes sour so quickly sometimes!

In the early days, the housemates and I used to plan to build a Perspex screen to stand in front of the tele so we could throw our cans (empty or full) at it to alleviate the frustration. That never came to fruition but would have been a beauty!

The kids have definitely learned some new language and generally avoid the lounge room when we're not doing well. On occasion, out of some perverse sense of pleasure, my wife loves to come up and engage in conversation in the middle of a game. I'm certain she can judge the tension and starts up either right when we're about to score or the opposition is. Then as soon as the action is over she again senses the mood and quickly exits stage right.

I swear they learn this in the womb NT 😱pen_mouth:

I've experienced the dreaded "woman factor" a few times myself. Bless them, but they just don't seem to get it!

Many times my mum (dad, don't you dare tell her!!) has been awesome in catering grand finals and even though she is delivering awesome little party pies and sausage rolls and stuff she has worked so hard to provide, when she is giving them to us I'm thinking "get out of the f*cking way!!"

Men huh?!

Mate perfect example

The young fella asks me when the Tigers play I tell him Friday night

All I hear in the background is a "Oh No" She organized dinner with friends who aren't league fans on Friday at the Port Curtis Yacht Club :brick: :frowning: :crazy :angry: :wtf

Can't remember the last game I watched live

Maybe I'm lucky but we seem to win a lot of games when I listen while I'm driving

I can't handle it either. Nothing for me to change the channel then check back. Or find an excuse to get out of the car entirely! I find this brings luck, listening is bad, bad, always bad!
 
Like everyone else, a lot of swearing and carrying on, but I did do some damage that haunts me to this day. Remember it well…

A few years back, game one, new season, young bloke by the name of Tedesco at fullback. High hopes of a good season....

Tedesco runs it up and goes down like a bag of shit without being touched. (I'm sure we all remember that day). You just knew at the time it was season ending..... the brand new Samsung TV, a few months old, and I was that angry and screaming expletives about more f..king injuries and another f...ed season when in a fit of rage, I actually snapped the long skinny remote in half. It didn't detach as it was more bent plastic, but it was totalled.

I have never replaced the remote and my wife has vowed that if I ever replace it, she will cut all the power cords off every TV we have. And I'm scared that she would do it.

So to thus day I have to get up to change channels or to AV1 and it reminds me of Tedesco's knee.
 
Download this app myTifi. You can use your phone as a remote.

Just don't break your phone.

Back in Uni I completely smashed in the lounge room door with a solid punch (to a weak spot in the door I was unaware of) in anger of our semi-final loss to the Warrirors.

Lote Tiquiri was a source of much frustration for me over the coming years since that moment

I'm so devastated dinner has been cancelled until next week 😢 :wink: :laughing:

And I've already told the Missus to stay away from next Wednesday night for any dinner plans

That is too funny. A semi-permanent reminder.
