Does anyone have any footy superstitions?

Mine is not singing the song before the game. Obviously didn't help much the last few years  :-\.

Crossing my legs in the direction we are going that quarter lol
I always looked the other when Benny Gale/Richo was shooting at goal.

Otherwise nothing!

Thats probably due to the amount of alcohol that you drink prior to the game and at half time :P :shh

Yes I've done that too.  I also won't watch a game if I know we've already lost it (due to delayed telecasts).

If I drop my scarf, membership card or any of my Richmond gear, through the week or before a game, it’s a sure sign we’re gonna lose.  My heart sinks every time this happens, because I already know the result before the game has even been played.

Before anyone wants to blame me for the 9 losses in a row in 2002, however many losses in a row we had in 2003 and us losing 14 straight last year, it wasn’t all my fault.  It’s true that my sporting ability and hand-eye co-ordination need work, but I’m just not that much of a butter fingers.

I’m prepared to accept responsibility for about 4 or 5 losses, maybe 6 at the outside, but that’s it.  >:(  ;D

That "if you don't turn up why should we" ad will go down as a classic Spud moment  ;D
