You don't even know how to argue ...

It really bothers me how unable some are to enjoy footy without drawing reference - positive or negative - to how we've gone, either in the past or in the moment. As in, you can't enjoy a decent if fairly predictable GF in which none of Richmond, Collingwood or Essendon participated without feeling a need to pontificate on where we are lacking compared to either side or how we really missed out this year.

On one hand, I get it. This is the Carlton forum, and blaming people for posting about Carlton on it is rather silly of me. But not every single thread needs to be about list management or about killing what joy in the sport can be found in watching neutral games.

Simply put, is it so impossible to just enjoy a game of footy? Need we insert our own viccitudes into every neutral contest, our own trajectory into games in which we aren't involved?

Need you begrudge other's enjoyment of said neutral contest with that most damnable of phrases, "what if?"

My summer feral fan will take you up on your 'vicissitudes'....? That should have been our motto last year. Of course we are entitled to pontificate, and barrack, so that no other team near us gets nearer to our 16. That's irrational and appropriate.

I get grumpy when my phone autocorrects my spelling from what I typed into something different. Vicissitudes is what I meant with my post, and I still mean it now.

Do we truly need to contaminate our universal gameday discussion - in which we discuss the other games that round - with not even veiled references to how shit we are? Is it genuinely impossible to enjoy a game of footy we aren't involved in without drawing reference to how we lost to one or both teams and shouldn't have?

Is self flagellation required to be a Carlton supporter? How many straps do I owe myself because I've refused to partake?

Why can certain people refuse to allow games that don't involve us to not involve us?
