We all want the Dragons to win.
Some of us have had our feely feels hurt in the past by a team that has promised us it loves us, even shown us a few a times during a 26 week period.
But even when the relationship started so promisingly, the first four weeks there were flowers and chocolates, but by weeks 7-8 the wheels started to fall off, there was the occasional comment about how fat we looked, how we’d let ourselves go, how it was all our fault we lost to a team coming last.
And sure, sometimes in the middle of the relationship, say weeks 14-17 it had all turned around, they promised us the abuse would never happen again, and sure there was chocolates and flowers again when they beat the team coming first, we thought our misery may be over, a corner had been turned in our relationship.
But it didn’t last, by week 20 it was all our fault they lost 30-0 to the Tigers, we had never supported them in the first place, it was our negative attitude that was bringing them down, they couldn’t live like this anymore, they wanted to see other supporters.
By week 26 the relationship was damaged beyond repair, there was too much name calling, to many things said in the heat of a crushing defeat, things that couldn’t be unsaid, ta many finals games we weren’t involved in.
So we vowed never to see each other again.
But then February came around and we started to think maybe they weren’t so bad, maybe this time it would be different,maybe they could change.
So we gave them another chance.
And it all started again so promisingly, the first four weeks there were flowers and chocolates....
