Pune's original ICF mascot can't explain with words how happy it makes him. It's taken years to achieve this - despite constant barbs, ridicule, humiliation and violent flame wars - it started off with trolling/getting trolled (by) the loins of Punjab in 2012 where meme battles were the order of the day to full-fledged warfare with the CSK fans in 2013 (led by GannuRan - who is sorely missed nowadays), and at the end we were only badly mauled since our team let us down and eventually we got thrown out next year (saving us from further embarrassment I guess). Come circa 2016 and things changed dramatically - CSK got thrown out and Pune came back but the results didn't change, we were still at the bottom of the heap. Just funnily, some CSK fans who were part of GannuRan's army joined the Pune bandwagon after trolling us for two years. It was highly amusing, and felt like a full circle. 2017 brought a new season with new hopes, but the Pune fans knew what's to be expected - and after the first 5 games, the writing was on the wall again. But no one trolled us now - everyone knew how bad we were, so some people felt sorry for us I guess, and the rest didn't care to bother. And then boom, the unthinkable happened - and our fortunes turned around thanks to a bunch of individual performances (Rahul, Steve, Ben, Imran, Jaidev, Sanjiv - 'well done' to all of you). And to top it all, we decimated the loins in a do-or-die battle, the same lions who we regularly sparred with at the beginning of our journey. Had this been 2012, we would have beaten our chests from the rooftops, but now we were restrained, and just simply happy to find ourselves among the top four. So thank you everyone for the trolling, the not-trolling, the support and the no-support. All of you have given us the strength to endure the worst and also the humility to accept the best. And the memories... P.S. Our joyride will be over after 2 successive losses. And with the turning of the year, our team will disappear. And though we will be fading away, we will still be smiling.

Thought we will lose the qualifier and the eliminator. But we won. Now I am sure we'll lose the finals. Edited May 20, 2017 by Magneto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
