If they make no effort to read about the club and our history and only care about the next match in which we "better win" they could be considered a gloryhunter. I remember one of your posts a few days ago in which you stated the reasons to be a supporter of Juventus...look at eagle's signature. That post of yours is exactly what I'm talking about when we discuss the traditions at our club...if you don't care about the traditions, you're at the wrong club. As I stated earlier, you can obviously see who cares about the values and who doesn't.
I do indeed agree with what i wrote the other day... I personally hold the history and traditions of my club very highly... However Im not sure whether not knowing etc constitutes a glory hunter... Maybe it does...
Yes, I know. And I'm probably at fault for believing too much of what Parks states, not being able to form my opinions from a first-hand account. Hopefully within the next couple years I will be able to travel to Italy and experiance this myself, because I should.
Oneday you will get there andy, As for parks... IMO, its a good book, but in my experience its very biased and reflects little reality... Thats not really a criticism as its very hard to be completely objective when your involved in something rather than looking in... you allways see things fropm a different angle...
Well, that's difficult to say now when I think about it. Inter has not really won anything for the past 17 years besides the UEFA Cup, so I'm not sure. Replace Inter with Milan and you might have a case of gloryhunting.
Still not convinced... Even if as a young man you choose milan... If you then stay with that team through good and bad... are you a glory hunter...
That piece was part of my explanation for being a Juventus fan, and you asked what sets me apart from other gloryhunters. I did not really go in-depth with the explanation beause last time I did that it was not welcomed very nicely by a few posters here. Non-Juventus fans of course.
Happy to hear the explanation... I didnt actually mean that you are... i meant if that was 'your' definition of glory huinting how do you seperate your own case into a different basket...
