A new breed of fan wanted - No experience nessesary

**blobbyblob** · 16/05/2005, 3:56 PM

Having been a regular visitor here over the last x amount of months I must say that ive been happy on most occasions to sit back and absorb the opinions and views of others. Having recently reflected, i conclusion I have come to is that foot.ie in Ireland Supporters Terms is like a primary school yard at play time with its respective gangs.

As always in the schoolyard theres the "your not one of us until you do what we say gang". They always had 10 commandments

They are as follows.....
1. You must have an Eircom League club jersey
2. You must not take the Eircom Leagues name in vain.
3. Honour thy Tolka and Turners Cross
4. Thou shalt attend at least 15 home games and 5 away games to fulfil the YNOOUUYDWWSB code of ethics
5. Thou must not talk, watch or wear english football related products
6. Thou must not wear a suit.
7. If someone outside the group has a point, argue them down regardless of how valid the argument
8. You have to go to loads of away matches or you have some serious explaining to do and wont be taken seriously.
9. You must hate the GAA and every other code thats not soccer.
10. You cant say soccer

Lads..come on out and publish an offical Code of Ethics if this one doesnt fit the bill.......

Theres the "Im new here who want to be in the gang but just dont cut it on one or more of the above conditions group". The perennial under achievers

Theres the Ill keep to myself person that stays at the back of the bike shed until they have something worth saying and then retire

Well. As in all radical school yards....Im forming a break away group here

Were going to be called the Do, wear, support, spell and go where you like supporters of Ireland Brigade.

Were non confrontational, non comformist, non commital society and welcome all colours and creeds and clothes wearers. GO THE IRELAND SOCCER ARMY. We do exactly what it says on the tin.

Whos with me...

In true Do, wear, support, spell and go where you like supporters of Ireland Brigade fashion, I hope I havent offended anyone here.

LOL.

blobbyblob blob, the thing is all internet forums are like this, as they are setup for in general hard core enthusiats, with some that browse regularly but dont generally post too often. those that post more often are the hard core element etc.

Yeah - Well, were gonna be hardcore at not being hardcore.

Go on the Blob!

**dynamo kerry** · 16/05/2005, 4:41 PM

I'm easily in the third group there. everything I utter is of course valid and completly sensible.

robbie for president

**Cowboy** · 16/05/2005, 5:01 PM

I will never join a club that would accept me as a member.

**Pat O' Banton** · 16/05/2005, 5:25 PM

As I'm doing nothing better this evening I may as well join.

**Pat O' Banton** · 16/05/2005, 5:28 PM

In fact just to keep it realistic I have decided to form a splinter group called the Real Do, wear, support, spell and go where you like supporters of Ireland Brigade, and I call upon everyone to follow the values of 'non commital hardcorism'

**supasparx** · 16/05/2005, 6:49 PM

Just popped up from the back of the bike shed to say 'I'm in'.

**hamish** · 16/05/2005, 8:31 PM

People of Footieland - I love you.

**paul_oshea** · 16/05/2005, 8:44 PM

hamish LOL, that is the funniest things ive heard in ages.

the aul fella, breaks into a "people of ireland i love you" every so often..he is very religious but i think he saw through that for what it was. and depending on where we are he will break into a people of ireland i love you. can remember it for yonks.

LOL, thats made my day.

here ye blobbybobb, is there a member subscription for this new "club" and do we have more hardcore for non hardcore stuff people? i.e. so i can be more non hardcore for not being hardcore than you by posting more etc??

i think foot.ie people of ireland should be the motto.

**hamish** · 16/05/2005, 8:53 PM

er.....I meant that in the universal sense of the word..love. Foot.ie needs more lurve...too much bitching for auld softies like me.

Anyway, you're ok Paul O'Shea since you gave me the disco for Kerrs Tribe's wedding.

This is becoming surreal and its Blobbyblobs fault, so it is.

My wedding to The Morrison?

i will have to question your "excessive" posting but under our own rules its cool if a little disturbing

i suppose we'll need a manefesto

1. equal rights for barstoolers
2. celtic jerseys are deadly

Raises an interesting question worthy of a barstool. Would a Gang 1 person explode on impact with a Man Utd jersey?
