Who Do You Support in football?

DEFTLEFTHAND

I don't wan't to start a war or create problems but I'd like to see who the men and women of AH support? We all have a soft team right?


My father lived and worked in Inchicore in his early years and we were raised as Pats fans, but his soft spot from his time abroad was Croydon and Crystal Palace FC. I've posted about Palace in the past in AH. :pac:

Who do do support in the football, any team here or abroad? I know AH doesn't like sport but British football has had such an impact here considering its vast media exposure. I think we all must have some fav team deep down.

Freedman the Palace legend he still is should never have left the gates of Selhurst Park. Palace under Pulis will stay up this year, Bolton won't make the playoffs imo.

In all honesty, I think they're playing not get relegated down to League 1. Shocking bunch of players this season.

British football? Naw!!

Bohemians are the only team I actively support. That said, I do have a lot of interest in other leagues internationally - going to Madrid to see Atletico versus Barca in two weeks.

Dwight Gayle, Chamakh and Cameron Jerome will continue to get the goals, Pulis sets them up to take points off of fellow strugglers. In defence they have the mighty Damien Delaney and Mile Jeninak.The rumour for January is that they'll get Shay Given between the sticks.

Fair play, football threads in AH normally last about 23 nano seconds before getting closed.

He was, I'm slow to pickup sometimes. Bolton will hang around the champ until they get their act together, can't see 'Douugie' bringing them up in their present state though.

At least you guys still stood behind Leeds in their bad days, I'd a lad who moved to City when Leeds went to the third tier.


It makes you laugh really, lets say Wexford rediscover their 96 talent for the small ball and all the KK and Tipp fans defect.

Lots of different forms of 'football'

Association: Manchester United and Drogheda United
Gaelic : Meath
Rugby: Leinster
Australian: Don't have one but seems like a sport I could get into
American: dont waste my time with that abomination

I think that's all the sports with football in its name

Rugby League football is another, I don't follow it. Association was what I was looking for. I support Munster Rugby Union football and the NY Giants in that American game. Cnuts didn't make the playoffs this year though.


Guys like Eli Manning now have 9 months off on top pay. It must be some life.

In most of Ireland, football refers to Gaelic.

Association Football is called Soccer here.

I support Cork.

I'm always amused by the England-centred universe of the Soccer Sorrys.

Why should somebody from Ballynabogs support an English soccer club?

It takes all kinds I suppose.

If Irish soccer followers supported their local clubs instead of spending their money travelling to games in England and buying overpriced English club gear, we might have a few half-decent teams here.

What's it like being a Porto fan having won the Champions League then having to switch to Chelsea, having success there and then being told your an Inter fan. Enjoy another Champions League and then abruptly becoming a Real Madrid fan. And then getting to be a Chelsea fan again?

I'm a Tipp man living in Wexford, so have an excuse to defect if that ever happens

I guess it depends on what you grow up with to some extent.

I started following Arsenal when I was eight. The reasons for this included the fact that they had a few irish players like Brady o'leary and Stapleton.

They were playing in the FA cup final that year (1979) against Man Utd. It was tradition in our house to watch the cup final...everything else would be put on hold that day to follow the build up and then the game itself.

The gunners, as they are known, went 2-0 up. I recall my grandad saying at that point that one more goal for arsenal would win it. Little did we know the drama that would unfold with utd pegging it back to 2-2. Very late on Arsenal scored their third goal thanks hugely to a great run by Brady. That was to prove the winner.

They then went a long time without winning anything again, but when you settle on a team, you're stuck with them!

The reason I don't follow local soccer is that it's crap.

I actually won a couple of tickets to the Palace v Norwich game that's on later. I'm in 2 minds as to whether to make the slog down to crowdon for what's likely to be a muckfest.

Give me a cold Friday night in Inchicore anyday - shamefully I only made it over to 2 games last year

Muckfest for sure the dregs of the prem, if Palace win that game they'll stay up.

At least Pats are sitting with a league trophy and a Cl place.

In other words you jumped on the bandwagon. If they had lost we would have another United fan

Satisfying, enjoy seeing Mourinho put his genius to work. Best manager whoever lived imo.

If Irish clubs knew how to run their business & not continually bankrupt themselves, they might have had a chance

That doesn't really bother me tbh, one of the last seasons I had my season ticket for Richmond we were scraping around the edge of the relegation zone. I still went every week, even if it was just to pull my hair out at the disbelief that glen fitz was getting some sort of payment for what he was doing on the pitch. Some of the performances were poor that year but I have a connection with my local club so I was never going to stop going.

As for getting 3 trains to croydon to watch some premier league pish that I have zero connection to. . . .ANYBODY LOOKING FOR TICKETS?

DEFTLEFTHAND

Yeovil have no chance of staying in the champ, a backward club who are literally out of their league, can you imagine established clubs like Nottingham Forest travelling to their kip? Apparently the jacks in the players rooms wouldn't flush last weekend. Big joke of a club with a gobsh1te manager.

Why not Rangers? Makes me laugh when people say Celtic & then used to cheer the Scottish football team when they were playing in the 90's & 00's against England & 7 or 8 players were from Rangers.
