    The League of Ireland clique over on the soccer forum. Admonishing and looking down on people who prefer to watch Premiership football over travelling to a shed on a cold night to stand around with a load of fat bald lads in Adidas runners while looking at a shower of long ball merchants hoof it about. Bohs fans appear to be the worst of them all.

    I brought my young fella to a few league of Ireland games when he was a kid but we stopped going after a while, any time the Dublin clubs would come up for a game their fans would be effin’ and jeffin’ away like dockers. Throwing shapes and giving it “all that,” whatever “that” is.

    Any aspect of the hooligan culture is to be shunned but it appears Bohs and Rovers fans are keen to play ultra when they’re away from home.

    I also happen to be in this thread. And why do beggars follow you around the village? Something to do I suppose. Passes the day for the both of yez.

    Talking of cliques there was a band of clowns in that thread with the same limited style thanking and reposting each other.

    In general though I don’t see much cliquish behaviour here.

    Ultra does not equal hooligan but off you go with more of your ignorance. Also, 95% of LOI fans follow teams in England so JohnnyFlash is wide of the mark there.

    The smugness of LoI fans make me not want to watch LoI.

    Kinda irrelevant to me anyways, I don't come from anywhere were there is a club and English football is more exciting.

    [Not a football head, stupid question incoming] Is the Premier League the best to watch? I've some hipster friends who bemoan it and say the German league is better but they're contrarian. I'm not sure if there;s an objective measure (European championships?) but wondering on it from someone who knows their stuff?[/]

    You'll just have to apply just like everyone else. I do take bribes. Though going on previous AJ, I reckon you'll get the nod. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    English league is most exciting imo. Champions are pretty interchangeable amongst the top teams as opposed to Germany where Bayern have a monopoly, Spain where it's Barca or Madrid, Italy where it's always Juventus...

    Standard of football is quite decent down the league for the most part too (and similarly the Championship) as a result of the massive money clubs get or got from TV deals.

    Well, it's all subjective to be honest.

    There are realistically 5-6 teams in the premier league that could win the league there; right now is it between City and Liverpool, looks like City have the psychological edge though with 9 or so games to go.

    LoI can be exciting as well in it's own way, it's just the standard of football and amenities is pretty poor.

    As for Germany/Bundeliga - Dortmund and Bayern are neck and neck, really the only two teams that can win the league there anyways.

    Same with Spain with Barca/Real Madrid with Atletico Madrid crashing the party from time to time.

    So it depends on your preference, mine is the Premier league all the way. Bottom team can beat top at any even time.

    Sinn Fein/PPP bots. Need to realise if the revolution didn t happen in the 1920s, its never gonna happen

    I saw a new one the other day. TrotBots.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
