Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Every time I hear an Irish person refer to Manchester United, Liverpool etc as "us" or "we" I think of this

And that, OP, is why you will never understand just what it is like to be passionate about sport, regardless of where the team or players are from.
And neither I, nor anyone else hear will be able to fill that unfortunate void in your life. 0 -

I think the problem is that sports, and especially football culture is so dominant and it's fans so domineering that to not have the same passion means you're looked down on in some way.
We studied this a bit in college, and there are loads of people, in fact it's very rare for someone not to identify with or be such a fan of something that imparts to their life. The problem is that people become fans of different things, and no-one thing is greater than the other.
I know a lot of nerds and I can be nerdy myself and you'd often find nerds insulting football fans for their "stupid" passion. But I know loads of people who if their childhoods were a little different they'd be as nerdy about football, rugby or hurling as they are about computer games. And similar you have guys who know everyone intricate detail about the entirety of last season's EPL games who if their circumstances were different would be able to tell you all about French cinema.
If someone likes something, let them like it. Just be damn good at liking what you like (or be good at liking a little about a lot of things.) Basically, don't be some bore who only talks about football, or computer games, or anything else and if you do be ****ing impressive at it.0 -
