HateEvent Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I'm a hardcore tim and hope that we can pull something out here! Will certainly have to be on form to do so though!As long as Lennon isn't on (he's too slow for the game we play and I just can't stomach him!).Fingers crossed...

french_disko Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 When was the last time you watched celtic in the flesh?He probably doesn't know where Celtic Park even is. When Inverness were playing at Pittodrie a couple of years ago I sat in a pub in town watching their "home" game against Celtic. There was a guy a couple of seats away in his Celtic top cheering loudly at his team and celebrating when they scored. When the won (3-1, I believe) he said to his mate - "Fucking ace - just won 60 fae the bookies for correct score and Hartson for first scorer". Bloke on another table nearby - "It's a shame you never got that yesterday, eh? Then you could have afforded to get the bus fare down to Pittodrie and actually went to see your team".

Alkaline Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Just because you don't see a team play on a regular basis it doesn't mean you're not a diehard fan.I support Bayern Munich, the logistics in seeing them everyweek and money involved doesn't allow for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DustyDeviada Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yep, I get fed up of all these glory hunters who were born in Aberdeen "supporting" Celtic, usually on the flimsy excuse that they are catholic and/or their Dad supports the team.Still, Aberdeen folk who "support" the Huns are even worse, although they seem to have been conspicuous by their absence in the past year. I wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_inthehills Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Scholes and Rooney are due back tonight, Ronaldo and Giggs raiding down the wings, they are a potent force. I expect Sir Alex not to bother playing a keeper. We'll just have another midfielder instead.If Smeltic can keep a clean sheet for the first half, then perhaps they can frustrate the reds, but I can't see it. I reckon it'll be 2-0 Man U, but the return game will be closer.peteinthehills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would still be Aberdeen fans first and foremost. Unless you are trying to say that there are people from Aberdeen who stopped supporting them and then supported Man United instead, as that's not a phenomenon that I'm aware of.You should support the team from the area you grew up in, regardless of their level of success. If you do otherwise, you're a glory hunter, end of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you're "supporting" your team through thick and thin so you are. Do you wear your scarf in the living room when you watch the Scotsport highlights?

Shaki Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I reckon Man U will turn the Hoops over. I'm saying 3-0. Celtic will raise their game from the weekend with the occassion of playing in Old Trafford and the whole build up to the game but as someone said - Man U are absolutely flying at the moment. I hope I'm wrong though. Regarding the "support" debate, I'd have to agree that it is entirely your choice but I'd always ask someone for a good reason that they support/follow a particular team. The "my Dad supported them" reason is good enough for me. If I ever have kids that are into football they will be strongly advised/threatened to support/follow the Dons, whether I still live here or in Glasgow or Beverly Hills (with my little fantasy football family of the future....). Apparently if I do live in Beverly Hills I'll no longer be a "supporter" due to being unable to attend Pittodrie so my passion may start to fade being a mere "follower" and I may even allow my children to watch American Sports..... As far as religion goes, if you are a devout catholic and want to support Celtic for that reason, go ahead. Even if you're not a devout catholic but that is your heritage then that is equally as good a reason. I don't think it has much to do with the church anymore for anyone.
