What is your domestic football club that you cheer for? (2 Viewers)

That is a pretty ignorant statement to make. To be honest, i never made the effort to go to London to watch Arsenal, and i don't think i will unless i'm filthy rich. It costs way too much money, and one has other priorities in life.

Seriously, I am on the opposite side of the planet from Italy. If I get to one Juve game than I am the biggest fan here

By that reasoning, I'll be a bigger fan than Kyle by next December.

Like thats an accomplishment

I never ever watched the Libyan league over an extended period of time, so in that respect you're better than me. But imagine if you said the same thing about Juve? That you used to watch them in high school, but you stopped watching them now, because they're boring.

People would brand you a gloryhunter, would they not?

I'm just saying its ironic, and we all apply double standards when it comes to supporting clubs.

Where did I say I stopped watching because they were boring(even if they are)? I stopped mainly because....I grew out of it. I certainly didn't because they didn't win anything. But who knows? Same thing may happen with Juventus in the future.

We can say what we want, but this whole supporting business is a hobby. And people sometimes get sick of hobbies.

Coventry - had a season ticket for 18 years. I must admit, I don't go to all the games though, depends what I am doing. I'm not a hardcore live football watcher anymore. I've been to 17 Juventus games, 5 in England.

Is one also a dick if he supports his club more than his country?

Ziiing!

Not in my view.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Not in my view.

If you don't care about your country then why should you expect others to care about their local teams?

Its a silly concept because both are supposed allegiances based upon geography.

Patriotism is pointless anyway, you don't choose where you are born.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I don't know if I qualify as a dick or not

 

[Gabriel]

You're a dick for changing clubs when shit hits the fan anyway.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

???

I think you're confusing me with Ian.

Do the Chicago Bears count?

So now those of us who don't have the money are fake fans?

In my eyes? Yes. If you can't even be bothered to make the effort it shows how little you support your club.

That is a pretty ignorant statement to make. To be honest, i never made the effort to go to London to watch Arsenal, and i don't think i will unless i'm filthy rich. It costs way too much money, and one has other priorities in life.

I have priorities and not filthy rich, something called saving is kinda neat these days.

'True. One that people take too seriously sometimes.

In my eyes? Yes. If you can't even be bothered to make the effort it shows how little you support your club.

You're a rich boy that can afford to travel around, you can have priorities in life and still get to watch Juventus

Might be a good point.

But it still doesn't make sense to not support your country in football.

Patriotism is pointless anyway, you don't choose where you are born.

I have a feeling that if you lived in Italy, you'd have a different view on that.

But patriotism isn't pointless if it means you care about improving the place in which you live.

already beat you to it buddy

chicago bears

Yes they should because there can be many factors as to why someone would not wish to supoort their local club. It's not fair to just call someone a dick without knowing their reasons.

1) My hometown club plays in the lowest of all amateur leagues. Which is ok, but don't expect me to go watching that crap. And pay for it.
2) That same club (where I used to play in the past) now consists merely of assholes, retards & nitwits (talking mainly about the guys in charge). People I'd rather avoid, so excuse me for not cheering for them.

I do go to the games of the nearest (semi) pro team. Did so in 2nd division & remain to do so in the 1st division. And I obviously don't mind them doing well, but I just can't cheer for them like I do for Juve, sorry.


And there aren't even any reasons for me supporting Juve. And I do know that it does not make sense for me to do so, believe me. Fact is, it would be a hell of a lot easier (& cheaper ) if I didn't.
But what can I do about it? You know, supporting Juve is not a decision I once made. It's a gut feeling. And it's pretty difficult to ignore...

Its all well and good when you earn in pounds. Try earning in rupees for a change and save for a trip to Europe.

I have a feeling you are talking crap again, it's just a bit of land with a boundary.
