Thinking

How do you determine when is the time to give up and stop believing or to continue to hope? It's like either being realistic or just not having sufficient faith in something. Here's an example.

Manchester United loss 2-1 to Chelsea. They were behind Chelsea by 4 points with 4 games to go. Do we become realistic and say,

"Well, the season is over."

or do we continue to hope, saying,

"The season's not over yet!"

Is it considered lack of faith to say the season is over at this point or being unrealistic to not say the season is over?

Football certainly brings out the philosopher side of people, or at least me. It's more than just 22 men chasing after a ball.

It's 23. We haven't added the referee.

aha, the linesman not on the field technically so i didn't count him. if it were so, we'd have to include ferguson running as well when his team scores!

haha the referee runs a lot too. juz dun notice them. dat's why ferguson blamed one referee as 'unfit' this season cuz couldn't run fast enough to see wat happened.
