pap Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 I've got a mate, former colleague that I met in Liverpool in 2003. Opinionated Welsh gobsh!te. We get on well. Anyway, this bloke is a Liverpool supporter and tells the usual glory hunter tale of having a granddad who supported the team. His local team is Swansea. Anyways, when Swansea won the League Cup he starts giving it large on Facebook about their success. My contention is that after a decade of giving it large about another team (typical LFC have a go at every other team fan), he can't very well start bigging up his hometown team as soon as they get a sniff of success. What do the Footy Police reckon here? Have I got him bang to rights?
ZepSaint Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Have I got him bang to rights? Personally think he should be shot ...................or forced to go to watch a complete re-run of Boyzone hits ............... Not sure which is worse really ...............
Spudders Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Yeah it sounds like he needs a good old fashion duffing up.
Turkish Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Personally think he should be shot ...................or forced to go to watch a complete re-run of Boyzone hits ............... Not sure which is worse really ............... Nothing wrong with Boyzone FFS.

pap Posted 21 March, 2013 Author Posted 21 March, 2013 Only if he's totally disavowing Liverpool for Swansea. He's claiming he's always loved both teams, and it's "just this amazing situation where both teams have ended up in the same league". I remember asking him why he didn't support the Swans back in the day. He said "'cos they're f**king s**t!"
ZepSaint Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Nothing wrong with Boyzone FFS. You mean nothing that a little drop of cyanide each morning in their coffee couldn't cure ?
Portland Wilfred Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 or forced to go to watch a complete re-run of Boyzone hits I take it that is an anagram
pap Posted 21 March, 2013 Author Posted 21 March, 2013 It seems like a fairly unanimous reaction from the board. The only real difference in opinion is the severity of the punishment.
Bearsy Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 i was hoping to read bout pap & his mates drilling holes in toilet doors.
pap Posted 21 March, 2013 Author Posted 21 March, 2013 i was hoping to read bout pap & his mates drilling holes in toilet doors. Spoilers, Bear! That was supposed to be next week's thread
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Has anyone ever used a glory hole? Bletch? Who was the first person to come up with the idea and how did it go down with the person next door? It must have taken a massive leap of faith to be the first person to stick your knob through a hole in the hope it gets sucked. Bear, what's the scene like these days? Are they still popular? Perhaps if there are a lot of stories, we should have another thread on it and stop derailing pap's beef glory thread.
This Charming Man Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Personally, I would't ever talk about football with someone like him. Sounds totally clueless and like he doesn't quite get what supporting a team is all about.
KK the 2nd Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 I have a mate who gave up on Saints back in 2005 and switched allegiance. Now claims he supports both clubs. I think this is a bit like bigamy. I think it's alright to have a soft spot for another club (bit like having a fling) but this behaviour just isn't on and is criminal.
Panda Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 I think it is a common feature of a football 'fan' with no soul or real connection with a club - "plastics" I think we call them now. I have an acquaintance, born near Brighton and worked near Reading for many years. Back in the L1 days a couple of years ago he was a Brighton supporter and kept on about how they were above Saints in the league. In the Champ season he was still Brighton for a while until we left them well behind and suddenly he was a Reading fan (lived there for many years). So at the end of season he was still ahead of me. This season he started Reading but is now Chelsea as his grandson is a 'Chelsea' fan although he lives in Bracknell. I no longer support Saints, I am a Man City fan as my mother was born in Manchester (in 1909). At the moment it is the only was I can get ahead of him! I will switch back to Saints when we over take Chelsea (although I did revert temporarily to Saints after the draw there!).
Made in Southampton Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 I'm sorry am I missing something. Wos this football thing people are discussing?
Calvin Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 I know. I don't know what this football thing is. My mind can't compute. ARg
Miltonroader07 Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Ha ha... reminds me of the old comment of Manure fans complaining on the amount of travelling they have to do to Home games
Spudders Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 I was staying up in Manchester two weeks ago, going up Tuesday when they were playing Real Madrid. I couldn't get a hotel in Manchester, had to stay in stockport on the Tuesday night
