    Exactly. It's been a while since i logged on here but this thread is so pathetic that i felt so strong as to sign in and laugh at all the people who "sit in the same seat in the pub" when UTD are playing or "who won't watch ireland in the pub". Did any of you ever think of going to a match? How can you think that by buying a jersey and sitting in a pub for all your teams games makes you a supporter i'll never know :confused:

    Helix is the funniest though, You obviously don't go to the games but you don't even watch them on tele. So tell me, how exactly do you "support" your team?

    Do us all a favour and make your next break from here permanent

    Good point, well made :rolleyes:

    Tell me Unearthly do you think that a person sitting in a pub for all Liverpools games is as much a supporter as someone who actually goes to all them, home and away?

    Just noticed you're from the same parish as me. Sit in the same seat in the RF every week watching Man Yoo do ya? Fair play. Get up off your arse and go watch some football

    Someone has had a bad Christmas.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,081 ✭✭✭LeixlipRed


    No Christmas has been fantastic. All the more fantastic when you get to beat armchair fans over the head with their stupid "superstitions"

    Why is that? Can't handle the debate? I mean i asked a valid question a few posts back that still hasn't been answered?

    It's a topic about peoples superstitions

    It's not about going to football matches

    If you want to smell your own armpits, make a new topic about it

    In fairness to you, thats a valid point and this is off topic so apologies.

    I'm superstitious about people who have never seen "their" team live or only a handful of times and still regard themselves as supporters, i hate going to a game i know their going to if they are cheering for the same team as me because i feel my team will lose and thats a genuie superstition of mine.

    I really don't see what the problem is though, its up to them, how is it affecting you in any way, shape or form?

    Well, like most superstitions, its pretty illogical and not worth worrying too much about. Unless the reason these people are going is that its a big game, and the reason you think Shels are going to lose is because of that.

    It's not debate, it's thread hijacking. If you're so sure of your position, open a thread on it, and it'll be fun to watch you get shot down like the flaming sissy you're acting like.

    I cant watch an Ireland match in a pub. If I do goto the pub we (Ireland) lose.

    Hmm. The only competitive matches Ive not watched in the pub in the last 2 odd years were both Cyprus matches this time around.

    The pub matches were great.

    Well, apart from that awful first Welsh game.....and the Slovaks deciding to ruin what until then had been a hugely enjoyable birthday drinking session on September 8th at the last minute.....and the close shave in San Marino (it was raining outside and the satellite signal got pixalated and all blocky in the dying seconds, we were all there with our jaws nearly touching the ground trying to make out whether we had scored at the last :eek: )

    It's barely worth the effort to reply to your post, let alone go through the rigmarole of a PM :)
