Do you acknowledge other EL fans?

But I thought Anto Murphy's extended family had moved on with him.

We also stopped at Finn Park to find out the score in the Pat's match, 'Pat's won 3-0' replied some Harps fans...oh how I smiled inside

Thinking about it whenever im abroad i always seem to meet fellow el fans, and always end up having the craic with them. Cant say it happens that much at home though!

I was in Quinns in Drumcondra there on Thursday night, the 'county colours' night, and saw a guy wearing a Shelbourne top. I would have acknowledged him if I was wearing my Derry top but I forgot to wear it. Better to acknowlegde a Shels fan than someone wearing a Liverpool/Man U top etc. Mind you, the vast majority in Quinns were wearing GAA tops.

In light of the death of Sonic I think that we should all make more of an effort to acknowledge each other. The love of this struggling sport binds us all together in a unique way and I know I will make every effort to say hello to any el fans I see from now on.

**holidaysong** · 15/04/2008, 12:16 AM

I agree. There are too few of us on this planet to ignore one another. Forza LOI!

There was a coupla Harps fans floating around Mary I back in my undergrad days (I appreciate that somebody will get a kick out of the potential to quote 'coupla Harps fans floating around Mary', I've just done it, let it go.) One of them was a girl that I vaguely remember being cute but it could just have been the shirt that did it for me too.

I've seen a few Cork City shirts there too. There is usually a nod alright. Had a chat with a Cork fan on the bus one day but that's going back a few years now too.

And there was this guy who used to come into the shop I work in wearing a Dublin City baseball cap. I asked him was he a fan one day. "Oh yeah for years and years," he assured me with a cheesy grin. "Back in the Home Farm days and all so?" I enquired. He looked blankly at me. When I told him that Dublin City were a pretty new proposition in that form he blushed and decided that it was mostly the Gah he was into. He spun more Walter Mitty style yarns at other times but that first one remains my favourite.

That or her lovely soft wool and her wee black face.

Related to that boy of the Asokuhs then perhaps? Did I go too far?

Being acknoledged by other el fans is not always a good thing. When we did our last exam in Maynooth the faculty all came out to have a drink with us, and I was talking to the professor of experimental physics when a passing Bohs fan shouted 'Go on you Finn Harps Bast**d!' (or something to that effect) for no apparent reason, especially given the fact that I wasn't wearing any colours. I had no idea what to say next, but the prof just looked amused and asked whether that happened to me often.
