Became a fan of Yokohama FC while living in Japan, and still check their results every week.
Liverpool, followed them more when I was younger, kind of gone off premiership football the past year or two, keep an eye out for them though and if theyre on telly I'll watch them.
Cmon County!
The Norwegian Premier Division club Vålerenga are my other side - as I'm based in Oslo that constitutes most of my live football fix at this moment in time
Kom Igen, FCK...
Preston North End and Havant and Waterlooville these days. As I have an uncle in Havant I took to following them the season they had the cup run so I was at the early rounds and then it ended up in the 4th round against Liverpool.
I do tend to get around the grounds here when I can so often will travel to a midweek game and maybe the odd saturday to places like Shrewsbury, Cheltenham etc etc. I do tend to follow the FA Cup so I'll get as many rounds in as I can.
I'm more a fan of footy grounds. I love Chesterfields Saltergate (Used as Derby County's Baseball Ground in the movie 'The Damned Utd'. If ya see the changing rooms in the movie thats how they look at Saltergate. I love the asbestos roof in the main stand particularly with the floodlights on. Its a proper old football ground.
Many of the great old fashioned grounds are fading fast. I've been to Pride Park a couple of times and while its views are great and its super comfortable it lacks what I am used to as a fan from the league at home. It doesn't interest me in going back.
As Billy Bremer said
"everytime leeds concede a goal i feel like i have been stabbed in the heart"
Precisely how I feel!!Originally Posted by longfordjames

There's actually people out there who "Look away now if they don't want to know the scores"?!
Supported Newcastle as a kid, Have grown a hatred for English football nowadays probably because of a mixture of barstoolers and sky, give me La Liga anyday
Here on a technicality.
Had another close call on RTE there! I suggest you try it, much better entertainment.

"If you don't work harder I'll pull you off at halftime,"
“Crikey, at Manchester City all we get is an orange and a cup of tea,"
Aye,Blake did itfor us tonight,pity he couldnt do it in white!!
Celtic. Thought i'd become the barstool republican I always aspired to be
When the fund-raiser for the brother walfrid statue in Sligo was started it got me interesting in the Sligo man who founded one of the biggest teams in the world. Got interested in the Irish diaspora who formed it and the history of the club itself aswell as the fans.
Sligo rovers comes first though but do support Celtic, sorry if it disappoints people that I didn't "cos their oirish"
Man United and Cardiff City are my foreign clubs.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Man United for me.

Termonbarry Athletic TID!
I always say I follow Gers. Just for the general craic. It's quite funny if i'm in town and someone asks who i follow... Rovers and Rangers!... i'm usually not talking to that person 6 seconds after i say that though.

Much better watching a highlights show when you don't know the scores, Football Italia on RTE2 on Mondays all those years ago is evidence of that for people who don't do it for Match of the Day
Anyway I grew up supporting Sheff Wed, quite like Hibs, Arsenal, Hellas Verona, Espanyol, Inter Milan and have started following the fortunes of HB Torshavn as well
Truth be told I'm pretty much sick of football though so when I say follow I mean something that Jebus at even the age of 18 would have spat upon as being the equivalent of saying 'I support fair play' when asked who I support in football
That just cos your generally scum and that gives them a reason to leave the conversation
I 'supported' Manchester United when I was a kid but sure I was playing also playing that Gaelic football as well at the time but I wouldn't have been able to name 5 players let alone 11. This was also before I started supporting Dundalk.
A few years ago for no reason I had a soft spot for Valencia but not any more.
Now I just look out for Irish players on teams.
I also despise Glasgow Celtic but thats a post for another day.
Children in the dark cause accidents.
Accidents in the dark cause children.
Myself and a mate tried this out in Crane Lane in Cork a few times about two years ago, he'd say he supports Rangers at which stage I'd rabble rouse the people we were talking to against him before revealing my love for Hearts.
Can't for the life of me remember why we used to bother to be honest, but that's either down to becoming boring in my old age or the severe beatings we used to get at the end of those nights
