    I think its laughable when people come on and try to make this about the EPL v the PL. People can refer to the teams that they support in any way that they want, I support Liverpool, I go to all liverpools home games, I spend alot of money attending liverpool games, I will refer to them in any way I see fit. I do tend to shy away from the Us, we bit and I can see why it annoys but I don't particularly care TBH. This will not be a bannable offence, now or as far as I am concerned, ever.

    FYI EPL is the English Premier League.

    EL is the Eircom League.

    maybe it'd make it a bit easier to decipher posts with the us and we content if the poster had the team they support in their sig or aviator etc, that when i get confused, just who exactly is we in a liverpool vrs man u thread even if people say the reds etc, can be a little confusing. i'm guessing when i, gimmic, joesoap make the we/us ref everyone knows its shamrock rovers/cork city/shels respectivly due to our sigs

    there are more a leeds dude and a gooner too

    Well the origional post seem pretty much against anyone calling any proffesional club we , that includes people who support an Eircom League team .

    He also said your not a part of the team , but shouldn't chairmen , coaches and shareholders(as some Man United fans have pointed out ) be able to call their club we/us . I have no connection with Newcastle United (other than being a fan) so I don't use we/us simply not to annoy people but when I think about it..............why should that annoy people , all it is is grouping a fan of a club with the team on a discussion on the internet for fecks sake , it's not like they called anyone scum .
