Remember how absolutely awful we were not so long ago when we were losing to Accrington Stanley and Burton because they were actually better football teams than us works for me. |  | | |

Put your headphones on listen to Heavy Metal, pull down the brim on your baseball cap and look bloody annoyed.
That's what I do. Ha ha ha a |  |

For me I now don't get carried away with the Hype , HMS Piss the league , we are the best squad , favorites to go up etc etc etc
it is what it is , this season accept that we may just consolidate , we are in a far far better place than we were 5 years ago , the under 21s are second in a 24 league premier table behind Manure united - we are financially sound and the Turnstiles are a nice colour Blue  -
So for me I have accepted that we may do a "Leeds" stay down a season , build and then kick on again - so the odd defeat is just a part of that process , I used to have difficulty sleeping when we lost , now I just console myself with the above thoughts and drift off a lot easier
and NO I am not negative , but a realist. |  | | |

As soon as I see the scum losing it brings a glow, and I dont feel so down about our result ( if we've lost!) |  |

Not sure what your age is, but I do think it (mostly) has a bearing on how we deal with disappointment. Life experience helps to put things in perspective.
Also, I always try to think of the bigger picture, rather than react excessively to one or two brilliant or disappointing results.
The longer you are a fan, the more you realise that football is like life - it has peaks and troughs, joy and despair, but it's mostly fairly sedate and mediocre. Trying to find a pragmatic perspective of both is really good for mental wellbeing.
ITFC has been around for circa 150 years. Far longer than we have lived. Some of our history has been elating, other parts frustrating, but most of it fairly mediocre, in reality. So mediocre should be the norm. Accept the mediocre, enjoy the sublime, and try not to get overwhelmed by the downs, because they don't last forever.
We go again after every match and after every season, come what may. [Post edited 25 Oct 11:09]

move on quickly, not to high, not to low. Boring middle of the road me. Control the controllable. I cannot effect that which I have no control so don't worry about it. | | | |

It is okay to feel the pain of losing. It shows we care, and helps us enjoy the wins when they come later. The double-promotion felt so special after the years of decline under Evans. The club is now moving forward and developing infrastructure, even if we have some defeats in the shirt term.
If Norwich have lost I usually listen to Canary Call on BBC Sounds, as that makes me feel a bit better. |  | | |

Indeed. But that requires you to have been following Towen for longer than a couple of seasons.
I just think of McCarthy ball - playing Rotherham at home, needing a win to help our push for promotion - with 1 up front and waiting til the 80th minute for an attempt at goal. Complete dirge dressed up as football that was barely watchable - all whilst Mick insulted the fans for daring to want better.
Those moaning about McKenna either have literally no idea how sh1t we were and how far we have come (cos they weren't around) or have very short memories. |  |

Don't know your age but get to my age which is mid seventies and although when Town lose I am disappointed. Probably with the current squad more frustrated than disappointed as to spend what we have and find ourselves so far down the table really brings home how poor we have been.
But then as i say at my age I have been through an enormous amount of disappointments from losing several thousands on investments to divorce and one of my daughters not really having a great life due to drugs early in her life, to being on her own having only once had a relationship and now relying on benefits.
That's not to say I haven't also had some wonderful things happen. Because despite never having earnt huge wages in my life I have managed to buy my own house, travel to many parts of the world, have a pretty decent car and have another daughter who has done well for herself and given me two great Grandchildren. I also have Grandchildren with my Stepson who are all great kids as well.
So I try not to be downhearted for too long as there's always a flip side to any disappointments. | | | |
