    I see where you were going.

    If they want to advertise their club as a global brand then it's part and parcel.

    Absolutely completely agree. As a fan and all Chelsea would be one of the worst offenders of this. I've been to Stamford Bridge a lot of times myself but I just don't get the same buzz and satisfaction there that I do at a Rovers game. Maybe thats just me though.

    I know at this stage Irish Liverpool fans are actually viewed with disdain around Anfield. Basically day trippers.

    Having had a spell living in England, I can say its not just Liverpool. The regular match-going-fans over there detested fans from outside their own area within England claiming an attachment to their team, nevermind what they thought of foreigners travelling in...!

    Or so was my experience.

    Similar experience for me with friends in Manchester. They feel sorry for the Irish really, think they are saddos.

    Thats true. But proper football fans have no interest in 'marketing their club as a global brand' at any price. Its out of their hands and its just the way football is going, sadly.

    The indo always has plenty of EL stories. Their chief writer Daniel McDonnell was a dundalk fan long before he was a journalist. Plenty of stories in the indo that aren't doom and gloom. The Herald is a far worse offender, boycott that well before the indo.
    Anyway, David Kelly is a rugby fan, he had a few articles about how rugby is so much better than soccer. No wonder he wants to disband the league

    Aidan Fitzmaurice in the Herald is a Bohs fan and does a good job with LoI stuff there.
