Just wondering what the general EL fan puts first. Example: If Ireland and your EL team were playing at the same time on the same day...who would you choose?
For me, it'll always be club before country, no question about it.

Rovers first...
united would always come first, I think you'll find that the club choice will runaway with this poll on this website anyway !
I would out of necessary conversation the following day politely inquire whilst coming home from the match about how Ireland did.
as a side note of coarse... ;)Quote:

The FAI have successfulyl converted me to club over country in recent years. If they keep working any harder, they may even get me to stop bothering to support Ireland altogether.... :eek:
Always been Athlone Town first
Club first always
gave up watching ireland after they sacked kerr and put cletus in charge
Club obviously. Not by as much as some though.
Country is very important.
What really intrigues me is why some people support other non-national clubs when they are playing Ireland - strkes me as the remnants of an old colonial inferiority complex.
Support Ireland???
In rugby - Yes.
In cricket - Yes.
But in soccer..... don't make me laugh. Why would anybody be remotely interested in supporting the woefully incompetent Delaney/Staunton regime???
Already worked with me.Quote:

For me, it would be club first, bar after. Country in there somewhere.
Why in gods name would anybody go and see the fiasco that is Delaney and Staunton?
Blues always first !!!!!
Well there should not be a clash I believe it's against the rules however, if I had to choose it would be UCD. The club has been much more ''my'' club than Ireland has been ''my'' team. I only one current senior international player and that's because his uncle used to be the Coach of UCD , and I met the player concerned because I knew his uncle, at an FAI Awards do that both of them attended a few years ago.
The Irish women's team because of my experience of being involved in the admin side of Women's Soccer for years is much more
'' my '' team than the Senior men's team will ever be.
I'd rather Rovers beat Bohs than Ireland winning the World Cup, and I'd like to think most Bohs fans would rather beat us than Ireland winning the WC
