Rule 4: The Blind Faith Clause
If you did not post it, it did not happen.

Rule 5: The Technical Difficulties Alibi

Compose yourself because you know it won't last. Dumb mistakes will come to the forefront.

It's very common for European football managers to give the team 5-7 minutes of silence at half time in order to let the side calm down and not get instructions in an emotional state.

Go home or turn the TV off. It'a only going to get worse.
