Your avatar appears to be a white Yorkshire rose but you support Man Utd? Are you Geoff Boycott in disguise?

Ughh I haven't heard so many "I'm so shocked!"'s in one day as I did yesterday. I was cycling to my parents house and had to travel along Clontarf seafront. I don't know if it was the fact that I was cycling a road bike wearing jeans, or if it was that I was getting in the way of little Timmy playing on the cycle track...

I thought Beasty was from Yorkshire. How many Man UTD supporters do you know that come from Manchester?

A North Yorkshire rose, to be precise (the full Yorkshire one has a blue background), but as there are no football teams in North Yorkshire I felt it appropriate to consider a team from Greater Manchester - funnily enough at the time I started being a fan of them City claimed to be the top team in Manchester (although we were European Champions)

Boycott was definitely one of my boyhood heroes, but Bobby Charlton was the main one (although he was from next door in Co Durham)

Surely the mighty Middlesbrough are from the North Riding in the opinion of any Yorkshire irredentist?

From the North Riding, yes, as is one-third of York City

However by the time I started getting interested in football the Boro were in Teesside (which then became County Cleveland). All the kids at my first school were Boro fans and at my second school the school bully made everyone "support" City - I was heavily into Captain Scarlet at the time, and hence decided to be awkward and went for the red side of Manchester (and have disliked Captain Blue ever since).

I could always say I look out for the results of Stokesley Football Club, but I don't

My home village does not even have a team (it's claim to fame is it has procured the rights to the website http://www.thevillagehall.com/ which I guess proves it must still be a village)

No red-blooded Yorkshireman (or should that be white blooded?) recognises this administrative stroke of the pen.

Consider this, Ballaghaderreen was moved from Mayo to Roscommon when the county border was redrawn in 1898, but it is still in Mayo for GAA purposes over a century later! Thats how to treat the bureaucrats.

Basically you're a glory hunter (just like the rest of us)

Having witnessed:

12 League titles (and yes, I was at the Riverside in 1996)
5 FA Cup Final victories
3 European final victories
2 Doubles
1 Treble

I don't need to go hunting for it ....

Most likely talking about the proposed 8ft wall
