Unofficial Halesowen Town FC Forum

Asking several of us with Halesowen Badges on our coats at half time "who do you support?".

Maybe if we had our old badge, they'd have known?

They were even crap at being two-cent hooligans. I have seen far better attempts i would only give them 3/10 for effort 1/10 for originality 0/10 for wit

.....Over the last 11mths (4 of 15 were in closed season) we have been treated with many wins and fantastic peformances. Therefore a loss seems to hurt even more at the moment. I also think with all the Covid S!!!t that has prevented "normal life" it also has an effect on one's mood.

John makes a very good point here. All of us are subject to stress and uncertainty at the moment whether consciously or not. This probably leads to us over-reacting to situations such as football wins and losses - the wins seem so much better because we all need some good news and the defeats seem so much worse.

Probably far too profound for a Thursday morning

Interesting take. I certainly don't feel lockdown is to blame for my overreaction to defeats. I think that's due to me being a pessimistic knob.

Sad reflection on the FA that they publish the draw on their site with a made up club in tie 15. A little bit more than a typo!

Really. They must have changed it now then.
