It depends on the game but when the players clearly give up like yesterday why should I continue to watch them when they can't be bothered to put any effort into playing.
Do you still watch when we're 3-0 down?
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
Watched for jokes
Yes, I think the shock had kicked in and I couldnt change the channel 
Watched till we the ETH interview aired. Must be something wrong with my head to volunteer for such suffering!
It started with 5 of us watching at 4 3 walked out 2 of us stuck it out till the end constantly repeating wtf is going on.
Turned it off at 3-0. It had already ruined my day, so was into damage limitation by then. It’s usually forgotten about and “on to the next game” mentality but woke up even more annoyed at the manager/players.
Absolutely unacceptable from all involved.

I watched the whole game.
However if I'm at the match, if we go 3 down with 5 to go I leave, not because I'm disgusted or because I'm a sore loser but more to beat the traffic.
I live in NI so I only get to OT a couple of times a season but I follow my local side every week and that 5 minutes makes the difference in getting home much quicker.

im in my 40s now and dont really get bothered by badegring and banter.
I had to watch it to the very end, its probably a form of masochism.
I stuck it out thinking it couldn't get worse and that perhaps United would knick a goal and make it interesting, maybe lose with some pride.
I was shocked to see such lazy possession, lazy concentration, lazy jogging about, lazy decision making (or lack of), so forth. They literally mailed it in. I cannot recall ever seeing a single match, not just a United match, where practically every loose ball, every ricochet, every deflection seemingly fell to one side throughout, and that's not like one side were just hustling for those bounces - they literally fell right to them. The bounce fortune was summed up when Salah got that one fluke bounce off McTominay's hip. The lazy was summed up with Shaw slowly reacting to a ball near the goal that ultimately fluke bounced for Salah's second. Every goal was a calamitous series of events or a single miscue self-inflicted by United players lacking positional sense, awareness, professionalism, so forth.
It's the Daily Mail but Oliver Holt nailed it here.

Yeah I watched it all but I barely have any recollections fromthe second half, utter shock, i’m still feeling weird about it.
Watched all of our matches to the end. Good to know when we are winning, if we are really good and how much improvement we can make. If we lose, it's good to see if we are really bad and what we can do to improve in the next fixtures. I think the scorelines only give us half the story most games.
I turned it off after the 3rd goal so no.
Always watch to the end. Then highlights on MOTD. My masochism knows no limit.
At 2-0 I was fine having a go but could tell it would wind up like the 1-6 vs City in 2011.
Oddly, if that game had finished 1-2 instead of Agueeeero, we would have tied GD and GF. No idea what comes next, fair play?

Im in my 50s and it bothers me as much as ever. I just cant beat them up now
You mean a Glasgow kiss is no longer effective?Im in my 50s and it bothers me as much as ever. I just cant beat them up now
Bump
Yup. Every minute. Looking for the brave players. Casemiro. Fred. Rashford. Antony. Weghorst. Shaw.
The rest? . Unfortunately not andvahould be moved on.

Yes. Because if you don't suffer through the downs you don't deserve to enjoy the ups.
Exactly
I always keep following the match but when we’re being completely outplayed I tend to multitask, I was able to paint the entire house this way
Stayed until bitter end but was over at 2-0
Yeah even at 4.30am in Singapore. I was just hoping we would show character and pull 1 goal back.
Nah it's was same slack start of half which really started the annihilation at Anfield
Turned off the TV at half time. No point watching. It was so clear that it was not to be our day. Nothing new lately. When nothing is right, it’ll go horribly wrong for us. My expectations are lowered significantly these days. It’s good for my blood pressure.
Turning a negative into a positive. Shocked you haven’t painted the Eiffel Tower as well the way it’s been going lately for us…..
I always watch to the end, but switch off before it shows the other team celebrating
Same, with the exception being the most recent hammerings by Liverpool. I shut them off at 3 and 4 nil respectively
My feed dropped at 88 minutes and that was the sign for me to call it a night.
Yes I like to see which players are cowards and walk straight down the tunnel and the ones that still go over to the supporters, especially when we’re away and they’ve travelled miles to watch them perform like shite.
Exactly. I was checking the timing at the start of the 2nd half. at 47th minute when they had a corner, I was thinking, this is going to go in similar to Anfield, and guess what? It did. So much slackness and lack of urgency.
At 3-0 you can either get angry, laugh or cry. I typically choose laugh, in a disillusioned manner. I’ll never stop watching unless they literally stand there and let the opponents just walk past them.
Im much more likely to turn a game off if we are cruising than the other way round to be honest.
Which is why I turned it off at 4 against Liverpool.
If the team haven't bothered to turn up, then I'm not hanging around either.
Weghorst??? He should be the first to be moved on.
I watch to the end of every game. If I am at the game I stay to the end.
I used to but not anymore. Refuse to keep putting myself through near depression because of a bunch of players who couldn't give two sh*ts about me. So when they don't show up, then there is no point for me to keep watching. But saying all that, I somehow stayed till the end of the 7-0, the 6-3 and the Brentford 4-0.
I turned it off at the 3rd goal as it was obvious we wasnt going to come back. In fact was wxpecting to see 4-0 or worse at full time. Liverpool the 4th goal, City first half and Brentford the 3rd goal. If were losing but playing with some purpose then will watch in hope until the end.
I turned it off after the third goal. I think it was the manner of it, as I haven’t done that through any of the batterings we’ve taken in the last 10 years.
I did leave 10 minutes before the end of the Liverpool game, but that was purely because I was hoping everyone else did and the coach would beat the traffic. It didn’t.
