He's right and you're wrong.

"We" does not indicate patriotism. It is defined by something that you have, own, or belong to, from friends to football teams, be they in Ireland, Iceland, or Indonesia. You just don't like English football clubs. That's something for you to live with.

And yes, I've read through the whole thread.

In your opinion. Fact is referring to any foreign club as "we" is embarrassing and pathetic and could only happen in Ireland.

Do you refer to the english national team as "we"?

Santa bring you the latest shoot magazine yet?

Back on topic Giles, dummy et al are still more entertaining and brutally honest than all of the other channels put together.

You're mixing up brutally honest with controversial my dear boy.

Not at all sunshine. You can be honest without being controversial.

Embarrassing and Pathetic to who?? :confused: FYI, fans in other countries also have favourite foreign teams, all referred to, as "we".

As I don't support them, I would refer to the English national team, the same as I refer to the Scottish, French, Italian, Spanish team the same, as in "they".

And would you mind telling everyone how you showed Dumpy and co are brutally honest as opposed to being controversial for the sake of it, young man.

No problem sonny. If a game is bad they will say so. Hardly controversial. Although dummy tries to be nearly all of the time Giles doesnt go out of his way to create a storm. Brady either.

So they are and they aren't, make up your mind and let us know the outcome.

It's just 'fact is', supposedly. I don't support England, so why would I ever call them 'we'? I don't support Ireland, so don't call them 'we' either. I do however support Rovers, Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern etc and call them all we. It is really that simple. If I did support them, I would refer them as we too.

Owlsfan, the fans and players of a club are theoretically one. When the beloved Wednesday lose it affects you and all other supporters and players. You are part of that group feeling the same. You belong to that group irrespective of geography or nationality of anyone in that group....'we' describes that. Why should your support differ from Ireland or Rovers to Wednesday - other than based on pathetic geographical prejudice? That's GAA-like parochialism

This thread is going locked. The World Football forum is not for debates about the justification and criticism of affinities with foreign clubs.
