If my Saturdays consisted of sitting on the couch wearing a foreign jersey roaring for a team whose stadium I visited twice and once saw in Landsdowne in a mickey mouse pre season tournament, yes, they might annoy me.

Can only go on my own situation and I've never sat at a bar in Ireland watching Liverpool with a Liverpool shirt on me, nor would I apologise for it if I had. Plus I dont go over so often now due to money but for years I was hitting double figures for homes regularly. Excluding cup games. It's such a lazy comment to say Irish based fans of Liverpool/United/Leeds whoever dont attend games. Ask Ryanair!!!! At the same time, I respect lads who follow clubs here. I'd love to see the league grow here. I used to be an Athlone Town regular before I moved. But I fell in love with Liverpool. Won't be made to feel bad for it either. You are who you are.

NewRed2 wrote: » Oh I see. You know you could have just stated your point at the start, instead of all the questions. Anyway, yeah as you admitted yourself, its handier for me to go to Liverpool than Athlone. I'm thinking thats why you asked and it backfired? Anyway, look yeah I think it's sad that I can't say that I'd like to see the league grow here while not attending Athlone games anymore. There's a line that gets crossed a lot on here with LOI fans between promoting and encouraging versus pissing people off. Be careful about that. But best of luck.

pgj2015 wrote: » I was just curious to see if someone who wanted the loo to grow was doing anything to help and not just saying it while handing over their money to Lfc. nothing backfired, you just proved my point. I don't care if my comments promote the league or not, that's not my job, I support the league myself, I don't really care what anyone else does but it's a dose listening to people pretending to care about the loi when they couldn't care less about it.
