I wouldn't call you "local local" but from reading this thread you can obviously tell that you're an avid fan.
My town does not have one
Exactly he has a fixation shall we say on Olivia Wilde and shes not local
Disagree.
Sheffield Wednesday is Sheffield Wednesday. The fans come from all across the country and sometimes further beyond, but we're all Wednesday. Gary Madine is from Newcastle. Dave Jones is from Liverpool. Paul Corry is from Ireland. Reda Johnson is from Benin. Rodri is from Barcelona. Milan Mandaric is from Serbia. Once they all pull on the shirt or stand on the touchline or sit in the stands, they're all Wednesday.
As a supporter of a club which has had to and still does rely almost entirely on its sense of local community, the idea that "not knowing your neighbour" detracts from that is a fallacy. Everybody who plays for a football club is pulling for the same cause and everybody in the terrace is rooting for the same team. Part of the beauty of going to watch live football is that sense of shared experience. I've been on terraces before and ended up charging around hugging total strangers. It doesn't matter who they are or what walk of life they're from because they are your club just like you are. That's why I follow football.
Except the guy who hates Irish & Scots
She studied in the gaiety does that not count.
It's not embarrassing btw, I love the city and culture and I'd rather watch decent football in my leisure time.

we need more FPS games
Same here. Probably for the best.
Oh yeah that guy
because there's no footy on tv right now.
I meant it was embarrassing for me silly billy, me presuming he lived somewhere in Iberia and all that....
Would this town be somewhere in the greater Dublin area per chance?
I missed that post, but as a life long member of Irish GAF
wel maybe not GAF itself
Rattled
No it's not
MMMMMMM cupán tae
Did she tread the boards with twink

I was in the Stretford End when Rooney scored that bicycle kick.
Somebody decided to kick my back in celebration :S
Though Irish, I'd much rather wear the t- shirts of UK or Spanish Gaf. They're much better quality you see?
Lol. Are there problems with in-fighting at matches? Last few College American Football games I've went to, fans of the same team as me have wanted to pick fights with me for little to no reason.
You're a Canes fan. No offense to you, but your fanbase is made up of the dregs of the society.. there's your reason.
Every team has them. I don't expect to go to a Giants Dodgers baseball game and end up a vegetable but that shit happened.
EDIT: And it's not like it was a drunk college kid or the person you are describing that started a fight. It was a grown man who on the surface looked completely normal
Hows thats irish made computer/mobile or whatever your posting on working
I get beer poured on my cheesehead everytime I go to soldier field.
Not permissible but it makes sense since you're supporting the rival team. I'm talking bout fans of the same team.
Based on the vitriol in this thread, I'd liken Hurricanes fans to Leeds supporters. It was always the absolute worst when they came to Tallahassee.. they ALWAYS wanted to fight, regardless of what the score was and how old they were. Just a nightmare. I remember some years back seeing a video on the net of Canes fans getting in a huge bust-up amongst themselves when we were wooping them.
Lol cmon man, you think I didn't have my fair share of problems with FSU fans last week? Miami fans at GT, UNC, Clemson, etc I guarentee are less hostile. It's the rivalry that makes it like that, Liverpool United I'd compare it to.
Lord of assists.
An interesting, revealing viewpoint, to you football is a product to be consumed, like Coca-Cola or Microsoft. To me following my team is something more then that. I suppose thats the ultimate difference between daytrippers/barstoolers and LoI fans.
Jimmy Postcode? I have no clue.

I do somewhat agree with your overall point though, I follow Chelsea and Palermo pretty closely but it will never be the same as Copenhagen to me.

Yay, its a discussion that's been played put a million times on RAWK, only now its on neogaf
Obviously you never heard of fanboys, I just think your argument that all you can support is your local team is weak. A person can have many reason for supporting something.
You're talking some amount of bollocks.
Well I wouldn't use those pejorative terms myself, shur I'm a plastic fan myself when I head over to Villa Park semi-regularly.
Juanpablo, it's nice that you support your local team, of course it is. But I wouldn't say you support them any more than Clegg does United. I wouldn't say that Awesome Animals is any less of a fan for supporting Villa from America, or Morsel is less of a fan than Arnie because he's in Japan.
Good.
We're Keegan's Newcastle.
