Football/Anger Management

Does anyone else suffer from extreme anger management issues when playing FM?

I'm quite a placid person "off the touchline" but I've done some crazy things when things have taken a turn for the worse on FM...

I get frustrated and often squeeze my face but I've never got that angry. Got a few scratch marks though

You squeeze your face? That can't be healthy. And yes I have got angry in the past and my speaker bared the brunt of the anger and snapped in two.

I squeeze my cheeks really hard yeah. Otherwise I would punch something, I once punched my monitor and the part where I hit remained black

I'm still worried about your face squeezing antics, stop, I don't want to have to arrange a SI community funeral for you.

, it's just one of those things I do, try managing Basingstoke mate, your face will end up a different shape. My face is better than my mouse or monitor

I have serious anger issues whenever I play FM. In fact I'm much calmer since I've stopped playing 08 a few weeks ago.

In my case my monitor often suffers a lot more than my body. AND I've ruined a mouse playing, but that was years ago heheh.

I crack my fingers in fury.

With all this talk of bodily injury, the government should set up some sort of SI Hospital for people like you peter and lolgasm. Better than spending billions of pound on nuclear weapons of you ask me.

yes- majorly

Ive broken a mouse, throw a computer chair across the room and broke my toe kicking a wall. So yeah the red mist decends and i go crazy.

me and my mate were playing cm 01/02 on his xbox and we let in a last minute goal in the champions league final he went crazy n started kicking his xbox and turned it off only for me to say erm you know it got ruled out for offside

I don't mind losing if I play badly. But I took over Fulham in my last game, was beating man utd 3-1 in the 80th min, drew 3-3! Always happens against big teams, I think im getting a result and then bang! GRRRR!

my mate was playing once and was 1-0 up 89 mins and ended up losing 1-2 in normal time he said " that he stood up walked over the other side of the room taking deep breathes debating whether to do it or not and he then turn round and punched his laptop screen breaking it, he recently done the same to another laptop by slamming his fist on the keyboard and says to me he is looking to buy a new laptop for the release of fm 09.

I usually just punch the wall a few times.

You know every member on this forum is gonna end up in a padded room together don't you.

Just what I was thinking mate.

It'll be like a wrestling match in there, presuming FM is there with them!

Ditto that.

..and I would create a finishing move called the 4-2-4!

i cant handle the anger sometimes.. i either wanna smash my laptop to pieces or cry myself to sleep. its a hard life being saints manager

..and I would create a finishing move called the 4-2-4!

Ha Ha Ha Ha, , I actually laughed. I know a counter to a 4-2-4 though it will remain secret!

Aww now c'mon! Thats not fair, you must share your thoughts with your fellow SI community buddies!

I don't really mate, screws me over all the time

I've broken the escape key on my keyboard in fury

To control my anger(in almost any situation,apart from FM),i start running around the house like a headless chicken,and until i'm quiet it doesn't affect my family

Thats what I do, except when smashing the headphones!

My wall is dented all over, so now I come prepared with a cushion to punch. I may even treat myself to a nice new pillow for Fm09

Let's just say that my flatmate is used to hearing all kinds of profanities when I'm on an FM sesh!

I just get depressed.

as this is a family site, I won't disclose how I deal with my anger

but yes, I am very laid back, even when I go and watch Stockport play, I am still laid back, even if the Ref has just made a blatent error, but as soon as it happens to my team on fm, you don't wanna be near me

i just breath in deeply or walk away for 2 mins or so or just shout and swear

I turn into one of those can crushers you get lol I can't tell you how much space I've saved in those recycling boxes as a direct result of losing an easy match lol

And in the game I get so many fines and touchline bans if I didn't win a cup one year I'd probably get fired lol personally I just can't wait to use that text box in the press conference after a massive loss i'll be in trouble lol

I used to punch my moniter when i got angry especially when i used to have 35 shots 17 on target and they had 2 shots and 1 on target and beat me 1-0 grr but i broke it eventually and had to buy a new one.

So now days when i get mad i just go and watch tv untill i calm down lol

Yeah I usually grip something really hard (i.e. my hair or face) or snap a pen or something like that. Usually happens when we concede a last minute winner.

Post of the day.

My friend had it on psp when it first came out for psp, he lost like 5-0 and smashed the screen

My mate lost a league match, so he smashed a £200 moniter by punching it! Pure comedy! I get angry and have alot of pillows to punch!

lost count of the times i lost my temper playing this lol

I've fumed quite a few times at Birmingham, just proves it's reality lol.

hmm, the worst I did was hit my UPS while trying to kick the wall. FM is actually a pretty good test of how much anger your body can take though

I used to get much more angry.

I've found the last two much easier and therefore I've had much less to get angry about. Plus, I've matured and realised "its just a game." Albeit a game that I am passionate about!

I get frustrated and often squeeze my face but I've never got that angry. Got a few scratch marks though

I'd see someone about that man. That aint rignt.

I usually punch the wall or monitor or i slam my computer chair against the wall.

I beat my wife...

Just kidding, she left me because I play too much FM

Before FM, nee Champ Man, I was a mild mannered, gentle, lovely young gent.

Now I'm an ignorant, foul mouthed, hoodie wearing, overweight, lager lapping lout.

Messrs Collyer and Jacobsen and co are to blame. The addictiveness of these games makes me exceedingly angry.

At Uni my housemates became accustomed to prolonged burst of profanities all hours of day and night. And it hasn't really stopped. I love it. Anger is all part of the Champ Man experience.

I generally just hit the arms of my chair and swear at the monitor (like that does any good!)

The squeezing of the face really has me ROFLMAO!! I suppose i'm not too much better tbh. I never tend to get too angry in all honesty in life in general, but as soon as FM goes wrong my head malfunctions. I have been known to really punch my thighs or knees really hard. Made me feel better short term, but the bruising tends to just be wearing off then I go do the same frickin' thing again!
