    how much over?





    please say a a few months:o

    I'm a gentleman, so I won't say exactly how much over, but it wouldn't be inconceivable that this person might have their own fifteen-year old kids, though thankfully they haven't bred!

    It was a disappointing match but we'll take the win. Nacewa probably was one of the few who deserved man of the match. The only one who made decent breaks in the match

    You are not on the team! You can only say "we" if you're on the team FFS :mad:

    you don't seem to understand the concept of being a fan of a sports team

    how exactly are they basking in someone else's glory?

    By using words like our/we/us to describe someone else's achievements.

    "We won the match!" No, the team you follow won. You watched, drank beer and scratched your bum.

    Have to disagree. When I see this notion peddled, as Batistuta said, I get the feeling that the person doesn't really understand the idea of being a sports fan. And is kind of looking for things to be irritated over, like does it really bother you enough that you're sitting at home pulling your hair out over it?

    Sports is just another form of entertainment, it exists to entertain people who either watch or participate in it. And part of the fun is cheering your team on for 50 games a season. So you feel a close bond with them and other fans of them as you're all emotionally invested in their success. That's where the 'we' comes from. It's more showing solidarity, uniting yourself in pride for your team whether they win ot lose, not trying to take credit for them winning. People who say it don't think they're a part of the team. Someone believing THAT notion is moronic.

    Granted there are many sports fans that sensible, there are just as many who are not though and carry on and on about an array of quite moronic topics mildly related to football/rugby/GAA or whatever. The endless rows over who won this and whos better at that, the roaring and cursing at the screen because the best in the world are 'F**king useless' and the worst, the pointless insulting of fans of other teams.

    Who pays the players wages though? No fans = no team. That simple ;)

    Not denying that. All I'm saying is that only a twat uses "we" to refer to a football team. :D

    they'd be referring to themselves as fans of the football club with saying 'we', the club as a whole. a football club being more than the 18 selected members of the first team squad or the maximum 14 that participated in the game they just won

    but maybe it's more to do with the way a large number of people use to describe their supported team, with the 'we' and if talking to a friend about their team saying 'yous'.

    i don't say 'we' that often when talking about the team i support but occasionally do, and i see/know your point on it; maybe that's why i don't use 'we' too often but i know why people use 'we'

    Well I take your point if the person isn't into the whole thing and still uses "we".

    But I think that anyone that gives the club money through tickets, merchandise etc and gives up their time, then they're entitled to use "we".

    If that makes me a twat on occasion then so be it :)

    While we're at it. I think anyone that uses to word "twat" and pronounces it as "twot" needs to have a look at themselves :D
