Can't stop watching Tommy Watson (ROCKETMAN)

I wish one of the cameras could have captured my reaction so i could watch it back. I'd love to watch it back. To be honest, i cant really remember any detail of the celebration, just remember going nuts, whistling for full time, standing in disbelief with my hands on my head then crying my eyes out.

Edit - bloody hell, just started crying again remembering it. Soft shite.

Never ever thought I’d cry at footy like.

Sobbed like a little girl who lost her doll.

Just insane. Never experienced owt like it.

I cant explain it. There was people crying all around me. Just the most incredible mass outpouring of emotion i've ever been part of.

It really is unexplainable. No one, not one person thought that game would have played out as it did. As you say, overload of emotion. “Not again” to just utter..utter, I don’t know. I just felt like grief left my body.

Love how an entire fanbase who deserve it, got it. I love everything about us.

I feel the same about the grief leaving me. When the ball hit the back of the net I felt that I’d finally been given back the passion that had been taken from me by the Moyes season, and that I’d been grieving the loss of ever since. I felt like I was a kid again, and that anything was possible. It’s really hard to explain, but it’s a month ago and I’m still getting emotional when I think about it.

When you put the time, miles, cost, commitment and loyalty into it and time and time again get let down it’s like a volcano of emotions erupting within when finally it’s the perfect script.
I know if that was me I couldn’t hold back the tears. Just constant lows thus if the good times did ever come back I would be done for.
Nowt soft or wrong with you Mate.
 
This summer is great...every time the wife does my head in or I'm stressed out at work, I watch the goal and I instantly revert back to that moment. The bloke next to me who just burst out crying and said to me, "I f***ing love Sunderland." The woman behind me...... I've never seen that much joy on anyone's face before. The kid in front me celebrating with his Dad, fuck me, your face's are etched in my memory forever! Then I turned around and saw my brother's reaction...bloody hell, happy days!

After endless losses, to eventually hugging my Dad seeing us win against Wycombe, at Wembley!!!! To him passing away, and back, with my daughter and winning, in that way.

It was surreal. It was emotion overload. It was Sunderland.

Cheers mate. I hope you get back up again. It's crap when you feel like there's no hope. We've all been there.
 
The dramatic Semi playoffs with Ballards goal and Wembley Final , how it played out were THE most exciting moments in recent football history. Seen a u tube video of Tom Watson practicing that shot over and over again. One of The greatest goal in. Sunderlands history . Good luck in your career young man. But .. Dont come back and score against us and effin spoil it.
 
Stop it..this thread has transported me back to Wembley and made me cry again.
The mass outpouring of emotion was something we probably won't experience again in our lifetime.
It was the whole story...being stuck in League One without a pot to piss in. Then this remarkable set of play off games with drama nobody would dare to script.
When Tommy scored I cried but it seemed that everyone around me was weeping. I was thinking of my dad who passed two years ago. Many others were thinking of lost loved ones. It was an incredible release of pent up emotions.
This is why the Saudis are still envious of us..Our Passion and love for Our Club.
They simply can't match it.
Til The End.

This post is the exact reason why there should be a love option; not just laugh, thumbs up or sad face. Bosses, sort it out please.

Wonderfully put. As an exile of around 13 years kicking every ball and reading every column inch from halfway around the world, it felt a massive release for me, which took me by surprise. Even on the Friday night I was texting my missus saying I was falling apart emotionally getting back in amongst it.

To experience that moment with family and friends, and all of ‘my people’ you Sunderland fans, will live with me forever.
