Do you know what.
I've made my peace with Irish people who are die hard fans of Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea and increasingly Barcelona. The class of football the elite clubs provide is far superior than anything the LOI ever did, or ever will, offer up. And what's more, you will nearly always see your team win something (well, maybe not Arsenal) so, as an entertainment prospect, following an elite level English club makes sense over supporting the local gob****es who will just break your heart.
What boils my **** is... Irish people who support Stoke, Blackburn, Sheffield Wednesday, or any number of **** English teams because they think they are more "real" or "hardcore" then the Paddies who glory-hunt after the good teams.
If you want the kudos of supporting a **** team through thick or thin, support LOI, you ****.
If you want to plug into what football is all about, support your local team whoever they are, you ****-sucker.
If being Irish means something to you, then support real Irish teams not fake Scottish teams, you wankstain.
Obviously, I am excepting anybody who puts their local team first before they enjoy English or other league football.
