0:00.0	Hi guys, it's Niall here from Football Social Daily and this episode we've teamed up with Skybet to celebrate the world's wildest emotional roller coaster being a football fan.
0:10.7	Skybet understands the beautiful chaos of being a football supporter. It's the highs and the lows, the heartache and the glory. It's all part of the ride.
0:19.8	They've got something made for those of you who
0:22.0	hate that last minute heartbreak. It's called Skybet, Acker Freeze. We've all been there. I remember
0:28.9	having a bunch of games on a Saturday that I'd won. The only thing I was relying on for my Acker
0:34.5	to come in was a Sunday game in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals.
0:39.2	Ross County against Celtic. Surely Celtic were going to bring it home for me. No. Ross County
0:45.7	got the job done. But with Sky the ACCA freeze, I could have done things my way. So here's how

1:21.4	wildest emotional roller coaster being a football fan. Skybet understands the beautiful chaos
1:27.3	of being a football fan. It will lift the beautiful chaos of being a football fan.
1:28.7	It will lift you up, break you down, and stick you back together again with hope.
1:33.1	Because for all the pain of a looming relegation or a missed penalty,
1:37.2	there's nothing quite like the absolute scenes of a last-minute winner
1:40.3	that leaves you hugging people you've never met in your life.
1:43.8	For me, I remember losing to Messies Barcelona in 99 and 2011,
1:49.4	but I'd happily go through all that again to relive the glory of the new camp in 1999.
