The thing I don't like about these arguments are the claims of support your "local team". I don't know about anyone else but the nearest team to me is about 45 mins away from me, in a different county, in an area I don't particularly like and I have the same amount in common with people there as I do with people in any English city. None of that sounds local to me.

I'd be surprised if you had as much in common with somebody in Newcastle as you do with somebody in the town 30 miles away.

LOI football is terrible to watch and LOI fans come across as the absolute worse kind of people.

Posts like this are even worse than the OP, which is also shocking.

These threads are tiresome. What difference does it make to you OP who people support? Just go enjoy watching your local LOI team and let other people do what they want. Try sell live local football for them for sure, but don't just attack them over something stupid.

To be fair, and it's not something I obsess over, but it makes a huge difference who people support.

See the Brendan Rodgers youth footballer thread for examples.

Those people who support foreign teams at the expense of (rather than along with) an Irish team are one of the key reasons why football in this country (from bottom to top) is in such a poor state.

Less so as individuals, I mean how much difference does one person make, but as a collective these people are far more detrimental than even the much maligned FAI.

Rant over. I don't really make a habit of hassling people over who they support (a at least not anymore) but to suggest that it makes no difference to us is a nonsense argument.

Thats quite a bold statement, how do you believe it to be so?

Fairly obvious, no? If that collective were attending matches there would be much less of a need for resources from an ultimately inept FAI who will never be able to provide them.

Come across as?

Didn't you know we are worse than genocidal maniacs?

Why are they not attending matches though? That is the question. Ireland has a massive sporting culture, hundreds of thousands attend various sporting events throughout the country each year.

I don't see how the thread title answers my question but leaving it aside, why don't people attend LOI matches? They are willing to attend many
other sporting events, why not LoI?

As in there isn't a big enough population to sustain the LoI?

Why do support a team in England, Germany or Spain? Get out and support your local team.

Don't be such a bossy boots.

For those of you who genuinely wish to debate on how to fix the league/discuss why the league is as it is etc... here's the thread for you.

Just to clarify before I properly contribute to this thread, is the OP himself a so called big dirty glory hunter (I'm just quoting the thread title mods)?

Ah screw it, I won't wait for a reply. He's never once commented on local football, other than talking about Ireland, but once they were knocked out, he was rooting for Spain. He's a Man United supporter. He's also a rage quitter on FIFA and shouts a lot of abuse too which is amusing.

I've said it twice now. Don't try to make it out like I've said it far more than I have. The first and last time being two months ago when you were doing your schtick in the Liverpool thread.

You repeatedly shouting abuse down your headset stands out as one of the more amusing moments in online gaming I've had, then proceeding to rage quit when 3-0 down at half time. Funnier even more considering you are the one who went out of your way to add me for a match. Hard to forget the good laugh I got out of it, tbh :pac:

Sure thing on the Cork City spiel.

You've got a personal issue with the poster Nuri, bring it to PM. The PS talk has no relevance here.

I'm closing this thread.
