it was in festival time last time though wasnt it? I'm sure it was as I was watching I am Kloot at the time.

I just see glastonbury as an escape from the "real world" and seeing neanderthals wandering around in polyester football shirts chanting "ING-UR-LAND" reminds me that I sadly have to share this planet with a load of utter bellends.

Keep that crap away from the festival, thank you. If football is that important to you, go and watch it at the stadium.

How many thousands of people left the festival to be crammed ino that field to watch the football for 2 hours or whatever? What an incredible waste. There were people who couldnt get tickets to the festival and these ballbags spent precious festival time watching football?? Jeez.

Though having said that, the way the festival is going watching football will soon be preferable when all the stages are filled with jessie j, plan b, beyonce etc

I too made the right call and picked Slash over the Germany game last year. Missed the Wednesday game against Slovenia due to getting there late and spending hours looking for somewhere to camp, with a trolley with a broken wheel.

One day I may get to see England win a game and/or qualify for a quarter final in either The World Cup or The Euros at Glasto, but, as I thought this year, if there is an act on I want to see who I am unlikely to see anyhow else, I think I would probably pick the act. Though, saying that, it's just occured to me that I got lucky with the result this year and would probably be cursing Slash for ever after had England won. That field would have turned into party central inside party central, if you see what I mean.

Totally agree about the atmosphere at the Portugal game. That was as genuine a Glastonbury moment as anything experienced watching a band.

Well I'll disagree then. Whether you like it or not, Glastonbury is a celebration of popular culture, and football is a part of, erm, popular culture.

Since it was tucked away in a field I really don't see what you are moaning about. If you didn't want football spoiling your festival you didn't go, but if you did like football, and wanted a once in a lifetime oppotunity to watch it with thousands of others in a field in a Somerset, then what is worng with that?

Personally, I go the festival to get away from all the nobheads who think people who like doing things different to themselves are nobheads.

Go figure.

This year I met a right sort on the Saturday night, about 19, long blonde hair, legs up to her armpits and an arse as tight as a fist. Anyway, I won't tell you what I did to her coz I is a gentleman, I'm not sure if she was crying but her eyes were definitely watering.

Yeah it was on during the festival in 2010, and for your very reasons I didn't go. I agree, its an escape for me and I didn't want it to be part of my festival. Slash was shredding the shit out of the pyramid stage at the time and I had an absolute blast getting smashed on wine and headbanging away. My mates who went to watch the football hated every second. They said the football was horrid and the atmosphere even worse. Glad I missed it.

But the '04 portugal game was before the festival had even started for proper. there were 80000 england fans in the pyramid field, more than were in the stadium, and there was very little of the usual shite you associate with watching football. Everyone was really good natured and soaking up the atmosphere. In many ways it was very much a glastonbury occasion. Was a great evening - even if we lost.

I cried at Glastonbury 2005, with joy, but that is a story I have told before on this forum elsewhere. Tonight I had a good old blub watching Adele at the Albert Hall and not to THAT song, her tribute to Amy. It really hit me. I mocked those sheep blubbing for Diana, but tonight I think I felt genuine grief over a woman I never met. We live in cynical times and Amy was a class A fuck up, but my word, what have we lost, truly?

Why do so many people cry at Glasto ? People round here are always bangin on about when they say this band or that , and when they played this song or that , blah blah blah , it made them cry !

Whatta buncha big girls blouses !

'' Oh yes , I was watching Anal Tincture on the dogbreath stage , and just as the sun was going down they started playing my fave song Nibble your Nob and thats when the tears came ''.

And then , when they get back home they wanna tell everyone on the net what a ponce they've become !

I mean really , what is happening here , is it because of Gazza crying and the whole country crying when Princess Di brarn bredded' it , I think it could be yeah . An' now loadsa people at Glasto are doing it left and right of centre it seems.

I've never cried at Glasto , never , not once. I did nearly cry once, when a Hells Angel lobbed a full can of beer at me annit whacked me on the back of the head . It really hurt and my eyes watered but I remembered I was British and I did not cry!

Can you all just stop it please?!

Times I remember crying at Glastonbury:

Watching Coldplay

During a terrible headache when I had to go and 'relax' and sleep it off in a boiling hot tent

Watching Muse 2010 I felt pretty emotional

I think crying because a song/moment moves you so much is amazing. Such a lovely feeling when you cry for good reasons

A great performance - music, theatre, film, TV etc should stir emotions. Northing wrong with tears of happiness or joy or anger or sadness - for example raging against inequalities in this world.

I blubbed like mad when I first saw this during Live Aid.

    • Geese playing for 1:20 instead of just an hour was a lovely surprise. The energy was great!
    • Oh well that's why then, I assumed it was still the same. Thanks!
