The main point is that we must manage our anger when faced with adversity.
The recent incident involving referee Anthony Taylor and Nottingham Forest's players, Chris Wood and Callum Hudson-Odoi, brought back memories of my own experience with anger. It was a complete mess – I was starving and it was getting late. Instead of cooking my go-to hangover dish, I decided to order a curry through a popular delivery app. I was a regular customer, so I knew the timing and the deliciousness of the food would make up for the late hour.

But this time, things didn't go as planned. The delivery time kept getting delayed, and when the food finally arrived, it was a disaster. The delivery guy struggled to find my address and when he finally reached my door, the bag broke and the food spilled everywhere. It was a mess – like a steaming pile of turd with a curry box hat on top. The delivery guy apologized and left, leaving me with a ruined carpet and a growling stomach.

As I tried to clean up the mess, the anger started to build up inside me. The delivery was marked as complete on the app, and there was no way to get a replacement. Sure, I could contact customer support, but that would only lead to a chain of messages and no real solution. And in the end, I would still be left with a ruined carpet and an empty stomach.

I can only imagine how the fans of Nottingham Forest felt when they saw their team being wronged by the referee's decision at the recent game against Everton. It's frustrating and there's nothing you can do about it. That's why when the club released a statement saying they will consider their options, it gave fans a sense of hope and justice.

It's like when a teacher takes away the ball in the playground – you feel wronged and powerless. But anger, as psychologists say, can be a useful emotion. It gives us information and the energy to do something about the wrong that has been done to us. However, it's important to know when to let go of the anger and not let it consume us. It can have negative effects on our health, both physically and mentally.

Sometimes, there's nothing we can do to change the outcome, just like in football where wrong decisions are made every week. It's important to know when to accept it and move on. And if that's too difficult, then it's necessary to distance ourselves from the sources of anger, whether it's avoiding certain games or websites, or finding other outlets like exercise.

In the end, choosing to let go of anger and not letting it affect our relationships and well-being is the real victory. As the saying goes, "holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." So let's learn to control our anger and choose to do nothing instead of letting it consume us.
