As Leicester City are the home team, their name should come first in the title

Have to say it’s refreshing to see an Irish person who still openly “supports” Man United. I’ve had trouble finding any that happened jumped ship and started following Shamrock Rover or Bohs.

Others have just stopped following soccer altogether, citing the “commercialism” of the English premier league as their reason.

Obviously, that’s nonsense. Seems to just be a real sense of the kid who’d say “it’s my ball and I’m going home” when things didn’t go their way.

Very fickle and incredibly disingenuous.

Some Man U supporting acquaintances of mine are very big into the rugby or GAA now. The football just isn’t doing it for them, talk about overpaid crybabies who roll around the pitch at the slightest touch. Will talk about it being different when the likes of Keane was about.

At least have the balls to follow your team when they are doing ****. The ones who are still openly wearing jerseys, following the club when it’s not competing, ye should be proud of yourselves, and remember when the lads who ****ed off to support Leinster or Munster or Dublin GAA, they weren’t there when the chips were down.

People are stretching here. There's still a huge number of United fans around and there was always huge amounts of Liverpool supporters to be found even when things weren't going too good.

It always becomes a pissing contest between the two of ye.

Yes the hundreds of thousands of people who support Manchester Utd in this country have all given up on them and started supported Shamrock Rovers or Bohemians. Thats why starting next season both Bohs will will be playing in Croke Park and Shamrock Rovers in the AVIVA due to the massive demand to see those teams from ex Man Utd fans.

That's more to do with New Balance not being able to keep up with the demand for the clothing range, will all change next year when Nike take over doing the jerseys, you will get it everywhere then...

I was referring more to the other paraphernalia around the teams rather than replica gear.

Things like mugs, stationary, calendars, clocks, name plates for doors etc.

Loads of Man Utd on the shelves, but the Liverpool stuff sells fast.

I've been quite surprised by the amount of people suddenly ditching Man United, tbh. I used to get loads of banter/teasing from the legions of Man U supporters that surround me here (I'm a Scouser). But it's all gone silent now. I thought it might be because of the success we had in Europe. But actually I think they're all just abandoning the team. Which is sad, really. Because when Man U begin a new run of success (which they will), the fair weather supporters will miss out on how sweet it tastes after a protracted down period.

There isn't many ditching Manu, there just not enjoying football at the moment. Although in fairness it's a good match against Newcastle, we are winning 3-1 at the moment.

Both Rovers and Bohs have had to turn away “punters” this year. Obviously, not all the ex-United fans have taken to league of Ireland, most have simply stopped watching soccer.

Attendances have increased dramatically over the last few years, in particular. Strange coincidence alright, coupled with some clever marketing by the LoI teams, of course.

Isn’t that the definition of a “fair weather” fan?

I mean, I follow a team that went from the top of the first division to playing in the championship, I’ve stuck by them.

I know a few Liverpool fans who’ve had to endure years in the wilderness and years of abuse at the hands of United fans. Now that the shoe is on the other foot the United fans are suddenly absent from any of the reciprocal “banter”.

All very fickle and incredibly disingenuous. I’d go so far as to say that those ex-United fans should be ashamed of themselves.

Berserker · 26-12-2019 08:09PM

Far too much football on the television today. Don't know how people can sit there and watch ten hours for it. Haven't paid much attention to PL of late. Far too predictable. League is finished baring an injury crisis for Liverpool.

What years were they? Take a look at the likes of Bolton Wanderers and you'll see what footballing wilderness is like.

As long as they dont start supporting another English team I'm not going to hold it against them, if they stop watching football completely they werent real fans. Manu still have more supporters in Ireland than any other club bar the Pool and that won't change anytime soon. Just because fans are silent doesn't mean they have disappeared

whisky_galore · 26-12-2019 08:50PM

If only there was some sort of sportsball forum for this.

So when Utd start being competitive again will we see you in the soccer forum foxy?

26-12-2019 10:18PM

I wish Utd all the best in their relegation battle in the months ahead.

Liverpool. invincible, perched top of the table.
Order has been resumed.:D

I really don't think there are many ex-United fans who have just stopped watching football. That seems ridiculous. Unless you mean people who had no real interest in the game in the first place. Even before Ferguson and before the modern era of rampant commercialism, United always had a huge following in Ireland.

Anyway, fans of any club will have to admit, Klopp and this current Liverpool team are superb, and kind of hard to dislike as well.

I always attributed Man U's huge following in Ireland to George Best. He was playing for them long before Alex Ferguson turned up and, say what you like about how he ended up, in his heyday he was incredible. On that level, I understood why Man U meant a lot to people here.

Of course not. They are keeping quiet, just like Liverpool fans have for the majority of the last thirty years when Man United were winning. Liverpool are having a great time of late and they should be enjoying themselves while it lasts. Given the money that the top clubs in the PL have at their disposal, things can change pretty quickly. I've stopped watching the PL since November because I've no ties to any club in the division and the league was over at that point. I've no interest in the race for the top four, EL or the relegation battle. I keep an eye on the championship because some of my family are Fulham season ticket holders and I've a soft spot for the club.

Disagree with you on that. Liverpool FC and it's fans, ones from Liverpool in particular, are universally disliked around England. Nothing is going to change that. Was on a train at Kings Cross when they were playing Madrid in the CL final and a collective roar went through the carriage when Madrid scored.

BDI · 27-12-2019 03:48PM

I think all the united fans are banned from the United thread for following united. If you don’t want the manager sacked they get rid of you.

Great win yesterday. Rashford scoring a header and jumping well was something he is adding to his game. That’s needed to break down the smaller defensive teams.

Looking forward to tomorrow

That’s sort of the idea; everybody hates the scallies. With or without an Irish contingent I wasn’t particularly put off by Manchester United’s successes either because it featured a good smattering of irish players n all but alas that is so gone. Just wondering how this ‘biggest club in the world’ can fall away so badly...
