ya but at the 1st round stage, crazy, should have been in the group stages as top seed like the champions of Europe(love the sound of that) are ment to be.
notice the no country protection, uefa hope two english teams meet quickly to knock one out and go back to status quo.
whats the odds of that happening? I think there could be a well organised draw!!!!

Clubman's sense of ethnic purity is getting out of hand.
Next he'll be telling us that you have to be born inside the shadow of the shopping centre in Phibsboro (Should that not read "international class stadium"? ed.) to be a true Bohs supporter.

born and bred Corconian. Saw Liverpool play a League of Ireland side when I was 7 in Flower Lodge and was hooked on them from then on.
Is this not a point you raised in an earlier thread Clubman? what does the word "we " mean? Liverpool F.C. embraces all, so yeah I think I can use "we" as my affiliation and support for my football club goes back to when I was a kid and that support hasn't waned. Should following and supporting and loving a club and it's people be limited to domicled Scousers? Or maybe I have to be a player to use "we"?
Do you use the word we when following Bohs?

Well, seeing that you ask, yes - not least of all because I am the third generation of my family to be a member (and thus a part owner), I live in the general catchment area, I attend as many matches home and away as possible and I have an active involvement in club in terms of attendance and helping out the odd time.
well let's compare. I'm first generation supporter, i attend home and away matches as often as I can, i help out by buying as much merchandise annually as I can afford and the catchment area for Liverpool F.C. is worldwide given it's global popularity thus even you could become a supporter!
lets hypothesise that Boh's were to become a global football force with supporters ranging from Peru to Phibsboro. could they use the word "we" in your opinion. or even if I decided to cut my City roots and live in Phibsboro and support Boh's, could I use the word "we" when talking about my new club?

I wasn't posting the information above as some sort of pissing contest. I was simply answering your question about if (and by implication why) I used the term "we" when referring to Bohs. However, as it happens, I personally do discriminate between somebody who is a mostly passive fan/consumer and somebody who is an active supporter of a particular club/team. Others are obviously free to differ.

It is far easier for you to be what you call an "active supporter " when your team is just up the road, it is far more difficult when the club in question is 2 hours away by road+ 2 hours waiting to get on flight + 45m to fly over++++
in actual fact I would say the fans that do this on a semi regular basis are in fact more of a supporter of their club than one who walks just up the road for home matches. i don't know whether you areone of these or are one that travels to matches all over the country. I belive the likes of gongey and myself are every much intitled to say we when it comes to liverpool as you are of bohs.

Where did I get "testy"?
I personally consider people who buy the jersey and mainly watch their team on TV to be fans rather than supporters - a subtle but important differentiation. I don't really understand how people with no real affiliation or link to a club use the term "we" when speaking about them. But those are simply my opinions and, as I keep saying, others are free to differ.
Not sure what you mean here by this question.
hot off the press......
