Barry was at the game too.
On the wider topic, I never acknowledge other eL fans - who wants to start a conversation with a nerd? ;)
Lucky duck. Adrian & his twin Orla are both living in Switzerland and are getting to most if not all of the games. Some people have all the luck!Quote:

Here are mine:
Drogs Jersey: Joy. Feeling of comradeship and solidarity.
Other LOI Jersey: Feeling of comradeship and solidarity.
Rugby shirt: Ireland/Munster/Leinster etc - Neutral
Premiership (Non Big Four - except for Sunderland): Milld bemusement.
Premiership (Big 4): Disdain, disapproval, feeling of superiority towards wearer.
Celtic: Disdain, disapproval, feeling of superiority towards wearer, pity, mild horror.
Sunderland: Extreme horror, feeling of superiority towards wearer, pity, hatred.
GAA Jersey: Disdain, disapproval, fear, horror.
GAA Jersey (featuring adverts for hotels, meat packers): Disdain, disapproval, fear, horror, disgust, abhorrence.
Dublin GAA Jersey: Disdain, disapproval, fear, horror, disgust, abhorrence, shame, terror, suspicion, rage, sense of alienation and strong desire to leave country.
That's more or less it , yeah. Oh, except the Rugby shirt wearers, I hate them too. (And swap Drogs for Pats,,obviously)Quote:

Haha, yeah we got the tram back in. Rain died down after a few minutes. Freakiest weather though, perfect day and then dark clowds quickly came over the sky and it lashed down. The ref didn't even finish the game, there was 30 seconds left of normal time when he blew the whistle:D. What the players did at the end was class, sitting in the rain applauding the fans...you wouldn't get that over here!Quote:

Wicklow GAA Jersey: Delight.
Dublin GAA Jersey (in Wicklow): Anger, why can't they support Wicklow?
Other GAA jerseys: Meh.
when in college in waterford a few years ago used to see the occasional el jersey but never really chatted to any only got into el until wexford got a team used to attend a good few waterford games when then had a few wexford lads on team.
have to say I am a little bit disappointed for the disdain shown for fans of other sports in some of the comments in this thread. I get the premiership jerseys but why GAA jerseys and rugby jerseys surely if still supporting local team does not make a difference what sport. Then make not like soccer it not for all. personally I am season ticket holder of the youths make about 90% of away games and actively involved in supporters club.
probably get slaughtered for this but I am also a Leinster rugby season ticket holder seasons and regularly go to support wexford gaa as well i know many people who support a combination of local teams.
rambling now main point if you support a local team should not matter what sport it is.
Rovers Jersey: Happy. Feeling of comradeship and solidarity.Quote:

Rugby shirt: No feeling, couldn't care about it really.
Premiership (Non Big Four - except for Sunderland): I wonder if they're English
Premiership (Big 4): If they're Irish, feeling of superiority towards wearer.
Celtic: If they're Irish and don't support LOI then I just laugh at their ignorance.
Sunderland: I assume Elverys/Lifestyle are having a sale, again.
Sligo GAA Jersey: Assume they're an idiot. Hatred
GAA Jersey: Hatred

Is this going to turn into an EL version of Glenavon's Fan spotting thread or what?
I would if I saw another EL fan somewhere outside of Cork.If I had on my own jersey that is,it is a bit stalkerish to just walk up to them otherwise I think.
I was on the lash in scariff Co.Clare about five years ago and had my cork city jersey on(the first green one since they changed back from red)and ended up in Macs nightcub.A bohs fan came up to me at the bar and said it was great meeting another EL fan and he loved coming to the cross.We had a bit of a chat,it was cool.
Has anyone been spotted in 'The Pink' outside of Wexford??
Seen a lad in a Galway United jacket in Dundalk town centre, I was wearing my Dundalk jersey and he looked at me and nodded at me.
That may have been me. Devilishly handsome was he?Quote:

It's good to see that the TV coverage is making a difference but it was a bit strange alrite.
Bloody bandwagoners. Why can't they follow their local side??? :mad:Quote:

I always get the same feeling if I see someone walking around Limerick in a LOI Jerseys. Its such a novelty to be honest.
Chat up lines were different in my day!Quote:
