Barstool facepalm

[gormacha]

95% of LOI fans have another club they like somewhere else, 99% support the national team.

Absolutely correct. Even most LOI players also have a foreign club that they follow. You'll often see their preferences revealed on twitter. Astonishing amount of LOI player Liverpool fans, going by my less than scientific survey...

[Charlie Darwin]

WHAT supporting LOI and EPL??? Thats impossible you barstooler. LOI is better anyone else is a liar. We are duty bound to bash the EPL and all other leagues other than our own due to their inferiority.

I can see you're trying to make a point but you're just being ridiculous now. Nobody says anything like that.

I think I can do it, but maybe only with a new thread. What question(s) and answer options do you want? Public or private poll?

Cool, thanks. Public please, just "did you start off supporting a LOI team or an EPL/overseas team?" Something simple like that, just out of curiosity.

Starting to think he's a WUM.

YOu're basing this on 4/5 posters on a barely used forum? Go to a game and not a single person will mock you for it (in fact they won't even know you're an "outsider").

Don't listen to Dodge, I grill every new face I see at the Brandywell, and some of the old ones too. If you're stepping through those turnstiles you better know what colour underwear Liam Coyle was wearing when he scored his 32nd goal for the club.

You must be that 5% he goes on about

Irish barstoolers are really going to have up their game with some epic sycophancy at the Dublin Decider if they want to compete internationally: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23341088

To be fair, he'll still be supporting Vietnam. These Asians just don't have the same devotion as the true Irish Gunners.

99.99% of LOI supporters will be absolutely delighted once someone comes to LOI games, no matter what their background,

Precisely. I've a lot of close friends who block my posts and invites on Facebook because I'm constantly onto them about going to Harps matches...to no avail.

Nothing would make me happier than to see all my Man Utd and Liverpool and Celtic friends all regulars at Finn Park. They don't even have to become any sort of 'superfan', but just to see a bit of live football.

This isn't a million miles away from being true... I recall you thinking I was a barstooler when we first met.

The FAI do nothin to help us and would rather we didn't exist and most the media feel similarly.

Point taken on the latter, not the former.

The FAI try to help, but the clubs don't want to know unless it "guarantees" them a benefit. Look at the row over football in Galway. Look at the attempts to restructure the divisions. Nobody can agree, because they want something else.

The problems in the LOI, are often the club's own making.

The sight of grown men jizzing themselves all over Ole and wanting to get a photo with the man, made me physically sick.

[CrowdedHouse]

I notice today the forum is being blitzed by MUTV ads....conspiracy I tell ya

Do they try to help? Popular opinion seems to that they don't but that's easy to say.

Fantastic day for Australian football and what a great result for them! Irish football's big day is coming!!

Was it billed as the Melbourne decider?

[nigel-harps1954]

Holy feck, tearing out my hair at the stupidity of a friend of mine, who is absolutely adamant that Harps wouldn't even beat a Donegal League team. That the Donegal League is of a higher standard than the League of Ireland First Division.

The Donegal League....which isn't even anywhere near the best junior league in the country.

[Charlie Darwin]

Things like that are quite common. I remember reading some journal.ie comments (I know, my own stupidity) when Darren O'Dea signed for Metalurh lamenting him signing for a side in a useless league, "is there not some League of Ireland team that would sign him?" Nevermind that the Ukrainian champions trounced European champions Chelsea in the Champions League last season, to them it's not a league they've heard of so it's useless.

have turned into a bit of a groundhooper.

Is that someone who tries to get to as many other grounds as they can, but only if Rovers are playing there?

......and only if there is a direct bus from Tallaght
