I like the Packers and Colts, the two places I lived before here, Indiana and Milwaukee.

I live in North Park btw. But most of the fans I'm speaking of were people I've encountered at various sports bars in the Chula Vista area.

I think that the people you refer to are the people who don't know **** about sports, but they act like they do to go along with the crowd, they're the type of people who make the whole fan-group look like ****, just look at the Raiders for example.

If you think I have bad things to say about Charger fans, don't even get me started on ****in' Raider fans...

Like most Irish people I follow a British team - in my case Chelsea. I don't really have a League of Ireland team in a convenient distance to me though.

Because who REALLY wants to support a League of Ireland team??

The standards in our domestic leagues are dreadful, it's no wonder everybody supports the English teams. I was brought up a Man United supporter by my dad but i've pretty much lost interest in the past few years.

My local team is Athlone Town F.C. who have been languishing in the first division for about 13 years now. The last game i went to was about 2 years ago and it was like watching paint dry, the most entertaining thing about being at the match was winding up the away supporters with offensive chants. The club's moment of glory was in 1975 when they drew 0-0 with AC Milan at home in the European Cup. My dad was at that match and one of my college lecturers was in the starting eleven. They got hammered in the away leg unfortunately.

Why do you support Chelsea? Did you start supporting them when they started to win things? Or...

Landon · 08-29-2010, 12:06 PM

Everyone in my class in school either supported Man United, Celtic or Liverpool. I just chose them to be different I suppose, it was around the time of the Abramovich takeover but I didn't really know what that meant for the club.

Convenient eh?

Anything's better than Liverpool though to be fair.

To be honest I really just couldn't be arsed getting a bus into Dublin town on a wet and windy Friday night to watch a bunch of League Two-equivalent players hoove balls down to each other in practically empty, miserable grounds. I have a lot of respect for the players though, I don't know how they get by on such meagre wages.
