SeeBass Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I get why people want to finish second this season or any other campaign but all I'm really bothered about is having a bit of variety with some European games each year. I've touched on this subject before briefly yet think my overall feelings are because the way we look at our club nowadays is so different from what one was like before one's Mam died. Yours truly attended a game where Adam Rooney scored a hat-trick against St.Johnstone in September 2017. There were a couple of minutes left in match and barring a complete collapse we'd collect available three points quite comfortably. Well referee didn't give us a free-kick on edge of Saints 18 yard box and there were so many people getting up to offer their disgust and I remember thinking; "Calm down guys you're giving me a headache!!!" It's a mammoth effort travelling those 180 miles North and back again with literally having just one side of your body working with a brain injury to boot too. I'm currently struggling regarding bizarre suicidal thoughts and have been reaching out to local services to deal with said issue. I was suppose to visit Easter Road in February but decided I just didn't wanna go. I'm not sure whether it was the fact I'd be seeing my heroes play same side for a third time in four months or what. In many ways we felt as if we'd let the boys down that afternoon. I just want to watch my team without any expectations but with as much diversity as possible and be proud of them in the process. So I think from now on I'll try and watch the lads play at Pittodrie at least once each season against the eight other sides outside Old Firm plus cup ties and continental commitments and hope fellow supporters don't think less of me.

BobbyBiscuit Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 That'd still be a great effort SeeBass, I'm sure no Dons fan would think you're any less of a supporter, on the contrary in fact. Hope the social services are able to help you too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Don't think anyone can claim you're anything but a loyal supporter SeeBass! Hope you manage to get the support you need and deserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hang on in there mate. You've been through times before and come out the other side. Appreciate the distance, time and effort it takes for you to get up to Pittodrie. You're one of the good guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 You're a better supporter than I'll ever be seebass. I used to love AFC as much as you clearly do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Fair play to you. I often cant's be arsed with the 5-10 minute drive to Pittodrie let alone coming up from the other side of the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoS321 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Did you nae get yer photo taken with Nicky Maynard SeeBass? If so, that's more dedication then I'd ever consider as a dandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeBass Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 I've also had my picture with Jamie Langfield on second floor of Union Square Shopping Centre, Nicky Weaver before Motherwell Away in August 2013, Shay Logan at Paisley St.James' train station and Ryan Christie morning after he scored against Siroki Brijeg!!! Really want one with Big Arnie and Adam Rooney though. My two favourite players of recent times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Ye'd better be quick with yer Arnie one min, he'll be gone very soon. See if you can corner him on the final home game of the season, he'll be kicking about then. As to your new regime, it's pretty impressive I'd say given the distance you have to go. I haven't been to an away game for two seasons now (outside semis/finals). I've only missed two home games this season though - due to child-birth - which is better than in past seasons. I generally make about 20 games a season roughly speaking, that'll be about 22 this season. I think that puts us both in the super-fan category.

SeeBass Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 I've been to eleven matches this season and really should have been at Easter Road second time around and Tynecastle a week or two ago had we been feeling myself. There was a ten year hiatus between 1997-2007 where we didn't attend any games for various reasons. It was only when we played Dnipro at Home that I started attending games more regularly. If my calculation is correct I've been to 234 matches in total over said 17 year year period. SIROKI BRIJEG (H) 1-1, APOLLON LIMASSOL (H) 2-1, PARTICK THISTLE (H) 1-0, HAMILTON ACADEMICAL (H) 2-0, DUNDEE (H) 2-1, ROSS COUNTY (H) 2-1, ST.JOHNSTONE (H) 3-0, KILMARNOCK (H) 3-1, HIBERNIAN (H) 4-1, MOTHERWELL (H) 0-2 and HIBERNIAN (A) 0-1.

Elgindon Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Keep it going Sea Bass,and well done for the effort to get to the games. wish i knew more about your condition to be able to help,but maybe an online forum for fellow sufferers might help like this one (or others), https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/27200/hemiplegia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeBass Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 A little update guys and gals. My Neurologist Dr Connor who I saw yesterday thinks the last few months have been down to a bout of depression. I've got some Counselling on Tuesday morning we arranged off one's own back as any NHS help is through a ten month waiting list!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeBass Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hoping to be at our opening home European match in July one's first game since Kilmarnock 3-1 win. Trying to use it as a focus for my recovery still very much up and down at present moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be feeling down min, you should be focusing your recovery on the following May's Europa league final and Adam Rooney's subsequent hat-trick! If we get there, I'll buy you a ticket...
