pie-eater 207 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 When he first came, he was learning from Eastenders. But the last few years, he has had to start again with Corrers. It must be very confusing. Plus: Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 This game is boring. From ManU loving friend Tevez: So why should I come to Eastlands Hughes: Well our bench is better padded than Old Trafford and we have more leg room Tevez: Where do I sign? ------ Commentary: "A little bit lacklustre" Translation: "Wasn't that a load of bollocks" Time for the scousers get their half-time pies.

Yeah I want to support the US national team but it isn't entertaining for me to watch. Their style of soccer is not what I like to watch/play. I am not supposed to share the same glory as someone born in that country purely because I am not a resident of the area? That is going completely against what the sport is about. As an American, I am a baseball fan. I watched the Red Sox suck my whole entire life. Then in the past 5 years they have become good and now the whole US likes them. Do I get pissed off when I see a Red Sox bandwagoner hat out here in UT and nobody can name any players, yeah a little. Then I run across the one who likes the team and I understand the figurative meaning of the sport and it is not to be subjective the way you are. Football (not American football) was literally my life until i ruined my knee for ever running as fast as I can. I lost a scholarship for college because of an injury. Someone telling me I should not like a team is a good blow to the belt. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Very satisfying results, except Chelski. The Arse are not in it this season even though they have a game in hand. Spurs n Villa? Link to post Share on other sites

It seemed rather angry, I didn't mean it to be. I am just very passionate about soccer as I was deeply involved in the sport. The Irish have never won anything and I am completely impartial to Premiere League teams. I only like Arsenal because most of my English friends do however I would never claim to be a true fan. The Irish national team I have followed for quite some time. P.S. I am still very bitter about my injury as you can tell hahaha. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Just pointing out that you aren't actually Irish. You are American. You may support which team you like, but I stll stand by my post that said that "real Irish people" will be hurting a tad more than yourself. Link to post Share on other sites

You may support which team you like, but I stll stand by my post that said that "real Irish people" will be hurting a tad more than yourself. Again, I reiterate, I wan't born in Ireland. This obviously makes me less of a case for being fond on my heritage's team. I don't get why it is a huge deal to everyone to point out I am not allowed to be on the same level of compassion for a game as "REAL" Irish people. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I have no problem with you having compassion for Ireland, just you said you were Irish and you are not. Thats all I am saying. That someone who actually is Irish was probably hurting a lot more than yourself, even although you also hold the irish team dear. I can never understand why Americans make this big deal about where they "came from". Always hearing americans saying that they are "Irish" or "Italian" or "Polish" etc when in actual fact they are not. They were born in america, grew up in America and so are American. Their ancestors may have been from a different country and moved to America but they themselves did not. Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Me too. If someone's passionate about who they support, I don't question the reasons for it. Don't really care. So we are 2 more points behind the leaders now Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'm not saying anything about being passionate for a team. I only said that actual Irish people would probably be hurting more. But everybody has a mix of different heritages, but we don't seem to have the need to say that we are, for example, "German" Scots. My father's grandparents were Irish immigrants but that doesn't make me Irish Link to post Share on other sites
