Have you ever left early... 17:16 - Nov 11 with 2409 viewsWilkinswatercarrier

And regretted it? Spare a thought for the fans of Yarm & Eaglescliffe who left on 89 minutes at 5-2 down.

My mate said "f*ck this I'm gonna go to the off-licence and get a beer, I will meet you at the car" got up and walked out.

That was when we beat Liverpool in the last 10 minutes.

You may be the first to ever admit to that. There were many that day. Considered it myself but decided to stay.

Don't think I ever left early. Once tried to storm out after we conceded a late winner at Arsenal but was stopped at the gate and had to hang around until the police escort after the game.

Fulham away when we lost 6 nil.
I was in the home seats with my two boys and we made our way out at four nil. The bloke on the gate looked puzzled as he had to open it to let us out. My son told him we were QPR and he just silently opened the gate with that sympathetic look!

Also, New Order at the Hammersmith Palais back in the 80s. we missed the first time they ever did an encore

Left early maybe 4 times ever (including at 3-1 the other day), but I left when we were 2-0 89th ish minute at that Brentford 2-2. My dad rang me after the game and just said 'U rsssssss' down the phone. Heard one goal go in, but not the other. Instant regret.

Oh yes, distinctly remember quite a few leaving at HT. I was there with my older sister and she wanted to leave at HT - for some reason (being young!) I persuaded her to stay at least until the next goal......

I have left a QPR match early only once. That was a big game in 1986. We were losing 3-0 to Oxford. I missed nothing by leaving and years later, I learned that it had all been an illusion and that the match had not really taken place. What a relief.

Only once where it meant I missed a goal. My only visit to the San Siro in 2005 to watch AC vs Cagliari (Zola had recently signed for the visitors) but AC Milan had some team back then.
Dida
Cafu
Paolo Maldini
Giuseppe Pancaro
Jaap Stam
Christian Brocchi
Rui Costa
Clarence Seedorf
Andrea Pirlo
Andriy Shevchenko
Jon Dahl Tomasson

Kaka and Crespo came on off the bench, but...

It was one of the most boring games I've ever watched, and being sat up in the Gods on a cold February evening, was also one of the coldest games I'd ever sat through. Left on 88 mins and AC scored deep in to stoppage time. Wasn't bothered.

No not left early but amazes me how many people who go for a drink or piss 15 mins into the game. Then the exodus at 40 mins. Don’t want to appear judgemental but does seem that a lot of people find it difficult to sit in one place for 45 mins at a time. Guess I am just a grumpy git!

Also left the 2-2 with Brentford on 82 mins, and was walking down Uxbridge Rd when the BBC Sport app on my phone flashed Freeman's equalizer on 90+4. Strange feeling both elated and fuming at the same time.

In 2002, remember slowly walking down the steps in Ellerslie and still peeking at the Loft end to see what would become of one last attack against Wigan, going into injury time losing 1-0, when Magic Hat rescued a point with the last kick, which was nice of him to do on my 15th birthday.

Ya.

A couple of times when we were first back in the Premier League. Home to some bogball team around Christmas time and a week or so later away to Arsenal. Football was unambitious, weather was freezing, and I felt no connection to the players whatsoever. Left both to go to the pub.

My dad would always be adamant we had to stay to the end, and mostly I agreed, but I remember pleading with him to let us go home during the Newcastle 6-0 match. Read the room dad! It's not gonna get better!

Hadn't really ever left early until under Ainsworth, Luton (H), Blackburn (H) etc. and a couple recently like Middlesborough (H). The one I definitely do NOT regret is leaving Brighton (A) early with that b*stard 2 coach train from Falmer. I think we were 3-0 down at the time and lost 4-0.

We (Clive, I and our travelling party) left after Barry Bannan scored for Shef Wed on 93 this season, so we were in the car park for Alfie Lloyd's 96th minute goal of the season.

Now I reasoned that we could just tell nobody, we were still on Sheffield Wednesday's property when it went in, so from a legal standpoint we were 'there' for it, we just didn't 'see' it, but holier than thou couldn't face the dishonesty clutching his Rosary Clive wasn't on board with my plan...

Can we not knock it?

It was Notts Forest 4 QPR 0 when we decide bolox to this and left early as all hope had gone, as we approached the car there was a sort of loud but muffled roar from the ground and one of our travelling companions said ''sounds like we've pulled one back'' we hadn't we lost 5-0.

Port Fail was fun though.

My brother called it a few mins early at one match and because of that we missed a Matt Brazier goal. That most rare of things.

My cousin did that with his then teenage daughter. Still don't think she's talking to him. And they only live in East Acton
I left the Brentford 2-2 at 2-0

Ever left early? Frequently.

Regretted it? No if anything, regretted not going earlier on more occasions.

Why leave early? If they're crap is one thing, but not looking remotely bothered and putting the effort in, then that's the cue to head for the doors.

Have you missed anything by leaving early? No. In fact, given my predilection for getting on my toes early, I've fortunately witnessed the Newcastle, Port Vale, and Stockport comebacks.

We left too , having spent 92 mins shouting at our lads not to let Bannon shoot, it was too much.

Saw Clive on the tram so your cunning plan would have got rumbled!
