    I have as much right as you to air my opinion, and won't be leaving.

    Surely, everyone has a right to support a foreign club.It would be part of having freedom of opinion and expression.

    What makes me sick is all of these "proper" fan's thinking that they have a right to take a moral high ground because they support their local side and not a successful side.

    Before you start on me OP, I live in Kilkenny, who am I supposed to support? I can't stand Waterford as a county (generalisation ftw), so that rules Waterford United and some of their poxy fans out. A mate of mine plays for Wexford Youths so I'll keep an eye out for their results as well as going to an odd game here or there. But I'm not from Wexford, so looks like I don't fit into your category of what a "real" supporter is.

    Also, I'm a West Bromwich Albion fan. Yes you read, West Bromwich Albion. So tell me, do I follow a side that's winning all the time? No, I follow a side that's about to be relegated to the second tier of English Football. All your posts seem to be aimed at the "glory-hunting" fans of Man United, Liverpool and Celtic more than followers of English teams in general.


    Well Kilkenny City FC were playing in the LoI First Divison up until 2 years ago iirc, did you support them?

    I'v deliberated whether or not I should post here but **** it.

    Im an English lad who supports man utd. Ive lived in Dublin the last few years and go to see some Irish league football.

    From an outsider looking in I have to say the attitude of many (not all) LOI fans is pretty pathetic and completely the wrong way of going about trying to gain popularity to the LOI. Threads like this sum it up imo.

    Why in God's name are you supporting Man Utd? Are you not from Bradford.

    Same hypothesis I have as for the Irish fans, harvesting the successful feeling I suppose.

    If it's such vomit why are you still reading it several hours later (1am now)?

    Have you not an (English premiership) fairly certain victory to celebrate in the morning?

    I have to get my blades ready for tomorrow. :D

    Thats the spirit we need in our country - let's bring it back again
    That was then , this is now . I love nostalgia as much as the next man but Ireland and the world , 35 odd years ago , was a much different place .

    Nothing wrong with wanting that spirit back but it's a different, more global world now .

    I consider Bradford to be my 2nd team. At the age of 5 years old i, like most kids that age, was very impressionable. I was taken to my first game of football at Old Trafford by my Man Utd supporting parents and have been hooked ever since.

    You strike me as the kind of person who would slate me if I changed my mind say now and supported Bradford as my first team. Can't win with some people.

    You are covering yourself in no glory in this thread mate and your showing why I take a very small interest in the LOI.


    Convenient how you don't answer most of the other posts labelled at you too. You're one of the Irish when it suits kind of people.

    Here's a suggestion - No team?
    Soccer teams are not like oxygen - you don't need to support one.
    Even better, if you love soccer then start one in your community. That may take you away from Sky Sports and Eastenders though.

    I'm well aware that you are within your rights to air your opinion. But you have no right to say some of the things you've been saying and the manner in which you have said so.

    That quote goes against all that you've been saying since post one. Basically stop supporting the British sides and support the LoI sides. I want to be a part of soccer as well which means I want to have a side that I can call my own and be a part of the fan community, which is where my allegience to WBA and the Football League comes from.

    And Gavin, yes I did. I went to a game when I could even though they were the most diabolical side I've ever laid eyes on and it's sides like them that make some fans want to gouge their eyes out because of how poor the quality is at the best of times. They aren't around though, like you said. What's your point?

    I've been replying single handly to about 15 people attacking me until the last 30 minutes, and to as many as I could - I had to ignore ones I had debated the logic to already - No getting through to some people eg support vs appreciation x500

    You didnt respond to mine and anytime someone has questioned you when you said that you have no right to support a foreign club you ignored them.

    Want to answer it now?

    bs

    you are totally selective as to what you answer. You are right though, there are no getting through to some people.

    Most of what you are spouting is complete rubbish.

    Do you not consider football to be a foreign game?

    umm i love how your trying to connect support with like globalisation. just because the world is a different place, doesnt mean anything. i once was reading irishkop and some goon said he was over in madrid and swapped jerseys with an ath.madrid fan, i asked did the a.madrid fan not find it a bit odd that he was swapping jerseys with a person let alone not from england but not from the city of liverpool considering athletico fans deride real fans for their corporate nature.

    I think I made very valid points here - you know you've won the argument when people start trying to pull the piss out of you.
    They have no argument left.

    Enjoy the game with your Liverpool "family"

    HELLO MCFLY - What thread are you reading? OMFG

    One more time.

    Unless you have a direct link eg. You were born there, you grew up there, you know a player personally, have shares in the club (weak justification) I cannot see what right you have to support these clubs.

    The "My parents were 'pool supporters" justification is pathetic.

    And one more time, as i know this is coming - You can appreciate good teams, but you have not right to support indefinately teams just because they are winning trophies.

    Is that enough?
