Teams you hate and why...

[Sods]

Boston won the confernce a few years back which last time I checked means promotion to the football league, they've also not been relegated since, so why exactly shouldn't they be in the football league.

because they play illegabal players

Why exactly do Fulham fans support Chelsea.

When we went to fulham this season we saw some fans saying that they supported chelsea as well to make them sound better and because of those i hate fulham now.

And Forests glory years were in the late 77-78, 78-79, 79-80.

Oh sorry ive changed it now, i dont no too much about forests history tbh and i tbh i couldn't care

[davieG]

Lancashire can just be used as a refuse dump.

Oh...it is already, someone just pointed out.

That must mean I'm officially senile.

[OriginalRobboFOX]

Hereford United F.C. - for never going on a tour of the Far East. The merchandising opportunities would be amazing. I want to see more Bulls in China shops.

Sheer comedic class.....

Weren't Boston punished for that? And wasn't it "player" not "players" I think it's a bit rich for a Leicester fan to critisize other football teams for breaking minor laws like acciedently fielding a player that was suppose to be playing, when we went into Admin and got away with it scott free.

All football teams have fans like that, ironically enough I was sat next two "Manchester United" Fans at the Walkers when we played Fulham, so should I be hating Leicester now?

Sorry not trying to start a arguement your reasons are just bizzare.

There's a first.

Surely one of the pleasures of football is hating other teams for little or no reason or indeed for a bizarre reason.

As DD pointed out in his first post he hates some teams purely on the basis that some guy he used to know who supported them was a right cnut!

Good enough logic for me...

Yeah thats logical enough for me. I'm not saying there needs to be a well thought out reason.

But hating a small League Two team in Lincolnshire beacuse they once fielded a illegible player and got punished for it isn't, it seems stupid. I mean does he hate AFC Wimbledon and Altringham as well? It's just stange.

You obviously aren't aware of the strong cultural identities in Australia that some people have

Not at all, I'm well aware that plenty of Australian, American and most likely Canadian, Kiwi, probably (White) South African and fook knows how ever many other ex-Brit colonists the world over like to down a few pints of Guinness and run around in leprechaun hats on St. Paddy's, telling everyone they're Irish. I've always been quite cynical when it comes to extended national identities, rather ironic considering I bum the fook out of the Tossers, the Murphs and co'. I'm willing to accept you've got to celebrate your history and heritage, yeah sure. But you're not living in 1800s now, are you? You're living in an age that Australia has arrived at through years of progress and change. Decades, in fact. You've achievements and your own distinct culture and identity by now and I can't see why you aren't proud of just being Australian? I mean, I've probably (as have most people here) got ancestors and relatives from England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Scandinavia, France, Germany / Saxony and fook knows where else - but I'm just Welsh. Yknow? End of.

If you know Arsenal's history you'll know they used to be a South London club, hence why I used the term 'gypsy.'

Again, billions of foppin' years ago maybe. You're talking turn of the 20th century now, boyo. Arsenal, as you know them, as I know them, as we all know them, as their FANS today know them - are a French North London club. A VERY North London club. You should try actually living here amongst the "dirty" Londoners and telling me otherwise.

Nevertheless there is a culture to the club I don't agree with.

Yes! A culture created and, today, enforced by the violent, sectarian MINORITY. A classic example of the few spoiling it for the many. And they'll tell you exactly the same thing about Hoops fans! If you wouldn't call it 'sectarianism' what the fopp else is it? It's a hatred based on the cultural and religious frictions of the traditional Hibernian and Caledonian Irish.

[DanTheFoxBhoy]

Why'd you spark up over my post anyway? All in good humour. Didn't see you picking out those having a go at the Welsh earlier on.

Bit contradictory if you ask me, you identified yourself as a Londoner before. So what are you, English or Welsh?

Again, billions of foppin' years ago maybe...

Bullcrap, you got pwned. A Tottenham fan will tell you otherwise, I certainly hear them bang on about it enough.

That's a good idea - let's remove the tribalism from football completely. Let's sit down with Derby fans and have a chuckle over cups of tea during Friday's game while we watch them rape us on the field. Pfft, sectarianism is traditionally defined as being confined to the dogmatic limits of a religious sect, including an intolerance of other sects or demoninations. Of course, the meaning has since been expanded on but not in my vocab. As far as I'm concerned Rangers can get stuffed, loyalists can get stuffed, and the sectarian 'state' of NI can get stuffed. Unite the green and the orange under the banner of Irish men and women, is what should have been done from the start. Nothing sectarian about that.

[DanTheFoxBhoy]

And another thing, why is my reason for hating Rangers any less legitimate than Dagenham Dave's dislike of Wednesday due to the twatty nature of an accountant of a company he used to work for?

[Finnegan]

I'm Welsh. But I live in London, I've friends down here and I've colleagues down here. Like I said, several of whom are your beloved Irish, so I find it slightly ironic (and mildly insulting) that you're branding all Londoners dirty. If it's all a bit of football banter, fair enough, but just be careful how serious you sound.

Bullcrap, you got pwned.

Where's Highbury? Where's the Emirates? Where do the greatest majority of the Gooners live? Where did they win the 13 league titles and 10 FA cups? Where did Bergkamp, Wrighty and co ply their trade? It certainly wasn't Woolwich, mate, was it? Get over yourself.

That's a good idea - let's remove the tribalism from football completely. Let's sit down with Derby fans and have a chuckle over cups of tea during Friday's game while we watch them rape us on the field.

There's a massive, MASSIVE, MASSIVE difference between banter and rivalry in football - and some of the stigma attached to the Old Firm. If you can't see that, if you can't seperate prejudiced intolerance from a bit of inter-city banter with your local rivals, then frankly I worry for you. You should spend some actual time in Glasgow, talk to some of the voices and minds behind the likes of Bhoys Against Bigotry and Sense Over Sectarianism before you sit there pipping on from your safe little haven in Oz. Sectarianism exists in Glasgow, is a serious issue and is heavily woven into the football and represented by such moronic prejudice as "Loyalist pricks. Smelly lowlives who cling to royal ties despite the fact that most English hate them." Sorry, but that sounded like a little bit more than internet banter, to me.

Didn't see you picking out those having a go at the Welsh earlier on.

Because most of them were making a fairly good point, really. The Welsh clubs shouldn't be in the English leagues. I'd much rather they be in a successful, premiership standard (or, hell, even an SPL standard ) league of their own in Wales. Unfortunately, that's just not a realistic possibility and the status quo is the best thing for the national game. I can understand the resentment, but it isn't born of prejudice or bigotry - it's just a fair enough point.

[DanTheFoxBhoy]

I'm Welsh. But I live in London

Sweet, well I'm someone of Irish descent who lives in Australia. For all intents and purposes I'm Australian. I follow the Australian national side. Glad we got that sorted.

...that you're branding all Londoners dirty. If it's all a bit of football banter, fair enough, but just be careful how serious you sound.

Chill, Winston. I enjoy my cynical humour and I'm quite surprised that you butchered it!

Get over yourself.

No.

Don't patronise me - my partner grew up in a school where kids dying over Old Firm rivalry wasn't uncommon, and on the flipside I have a hun mate who lost a friend cos a busload of Celtic supporters thought it would be funny to throw a tumble dryer at his car.

My argument is how far do you take this anti-sectarianism campaign? Cos it's encroached on both clubs' traditional fanbases and we don't like it. Losing season tickets for singing 'Boys of the Old Brigade?' Bugger off. Overzealous stewards confiscating Starry Plough flags.

You have to be careful with knee-jerk reactions, what about what happened to stadiums after Hillsborough? All seaters were widely spouted as a 'must do' at the time, but it was unnecessary and over the top.

Half of these officials and media hacks who are so concerned about sectarianism don't know what the word means. I think some of the current initiatives are certainly working, the rise of secularism is also a positive. You can't say it's not better now than it was 20 or even 10 years ago.

[Finnegan]

I'll respond to the rest later, I'm a bit busy atm, but I just cast a glance at that. I should reiterate: I was born in Wales, I grew up in Wales before my parents moved to Leicester and I now live in London. I'm not "of Welsh descent", I'm Welsh.

[Geo V]

Leeds - Dennis Wise

MK Dons - Hated Wimbledon style of football a couple of decades back and with the takeover and move to Milton Keynes I dislike them even more.

Barnsley - Disliked having to have to go there to watch City at Oakwell as we always were soaked as the away end wasnt covered. It was like going back in time going into the pubs and seeing the people. The houses were a sight too but at least the Hovis singing was fun .

Any other side in the Midlands who is doing better than us.

[Daggers]

I forgot - Dagenham & Redbridge for being near the A13 and Bluewater.

I fukcing hate the A13 and Bluewater.

It's the same when you try and stamp anything out, though. It's comparable to ludicrous degrees of political correctness as fall out from the "battle" against racism, sexism and co'. People paranoid about about others being offended. I think a certain degree of traditional culture and rivalry is healthy in the Old Firm, sure. Don't get me wrong, I love to see a sea of green belting out 'The Fields...', I'm just going to stand by - and KEEP standing by my opinion that branding a majority of Rangers fan loyalist, unionist pigs or whatever is, in the modern era, ignorant, naive and totally, totally stupid.

I've already said most huns I've met have been decent folk.

I don't get quite so anal about generalisations. If someone says "Derby fans are all sheep shaggers" I don't usually step in with "well that statement is not entirely true because I once met a lovely lady from Derby called Lucy and she was very nice and I very much doubt that someone of her calibre would have ever had intercourse with sheep and hence I move to refute your ignorant generalisation"

[Finnegan]

Again, lad, apples and oranges, really. You can't really compare a bit of banter like "ah, sheep shaggin' Derby lads!" with the sort of vitriol you seem to have for Rangers.
