History repeats !!!!!!!

There is no GF curse. Yes we’ve lost a few but we’ve won two in 30 years and that’s two more than many clubs. I’d still rather make it than not.K wrote:It's only fun if we win and break the GF Curse, FGTC.
The best news is that I won’t be attending the GF this year if we make it. My ticket will be going to one of my kids whose never attended a GF.
I was there in 1990 yes, however I also attended in 2002, 2003, 2010 Draw, 2011 and last year. Yes, you guessed it, I didn’t go to the replay in 2010.

Our GF record in the last 80 years is appalling, unfortunately. (And other clubs that don't even make GFs are irrelevant to whether it exists or not.)Damien wrote:...

I did the 2010 draw, like you didn't go to the replay, then went to 2011.Damien wrote:There is no GF curse. Yes we’ve lost a few but we’ve won two in 30 years and that’s two more than many clubs. I’d still rather make it than not.K wrote:It's only fun if we win and break the GF Curse, FGTC.

I'm not even going in the ballot, I'll be watching at home where I watched us win 1990 and 2010
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Can’t really see how it’s a curse though.K wrote:Our GF record in the last 80 years is appalling, unfortunately. (And other clubs that don't even make GFs are irrelevant to whether it exists or not.)Damien wrote:...
