We will all have experienced heartbreak as a football fan that perhaps your girlfriend, or just anyone who doesn't follow football can't understand. Whether you're a Manchester United fan after Sergio Aguero's last second and title winning goal against QPR, an AC Milan fan after that final penalty in Istanbul or a Derby County fan who had to endure the horrific 2007-08 Premier League campaign. There are so many ways the sport we love can hurt you, but there are infinitely more that it can reward you and that is why we love it. From that risky bet paying off in a big win to you having something to sing about a big win the benefits of being a football fan are countless, yes they come with a lot of risk and you will experience disappointment, but in the end, there is always a silver lining- this means you as well Portsmouth fans. We just can't seem to get enough of football in this country, if the team you follow isn't playing, then often accumulators will be placed on other teams, if there is no other football on then we play FIFA. We can't seem to stay away from the ecstasy and the devastation and there are so many frustrations for us football fans that the rest of society just can't understand. This list has 10 of those frustrations but there are even more than that. Seeing grown men wearing full football kits, rage quitters on FIFA , players escaping an obvious red card then scoring the winner or for you older fans, being told no beer allowed on the terraces. So now we take a look through the trials and tribulations of being a football fan....
