Question

its a football section

Answer 3

yea your right , i dont mind liverpool fans util they start slagging me off for being a utd fan , if they leave me alone i dont mind, as long as i cant smell them

Answer 4

it's all good as long as you(anybody) can take it as (most manchester united fans can't)

Answer 5

Yes some go too far...like everything! I mean a bit of banter is fine and healthy but death threats and fighting....someone has to draw the line!

Answer 6

rivalries are healthy, but i have seen protestants and catholics killed just for being rangers or celtic fans, so the simple answer to your question is yes people take it too far, but when the likes of uranobhead oversteps the mark and starts to insult my family i take exception to that. i as a rule do not call liverpudlians bin dippers or thieves or anything like that, i will not deny i have no passion for the majority of their fans and their style of football, i will also stand by the fact i can't believe the stupidity of some of the liverpool fans at athens in light of the history of 2 disasters caused by over crowding, they can blame weak stadiums, bad policing, but i have 1st hand information on the subject and it was the law of the jungle and only the strong survive, ffs sake lads wake up and smell the coffee, likewise my heart goes out to every family member effected by both tragedies, anyway back to the topic, limits and boundaries banter united all day everyday, bribe refs live in a council flat in essex, but leave my family alone.

Answer 7

i  think we call them HOOLIGANS(firms)

Answer 8

Yes,and I have been guilty on few occasions myself.Sarcasm is fine but personal insults have no place in a public forum like this.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 19

Yes, h**l yes! Some people are more loyal to their 'team' as they are patriots to their country...its sad in some cases lol.

Simple answer, yes and yes.

Answer 20

In my email to Dan, there are individuals who insult to bait others. That is what trolls do. They draw attention to themselves.

I suppose those who do take the bait are the ones who are usually passionate about they club. But they should be smarter in giving what the idiots want--attention.

Ignore. Block.

Answer 21

No way, its worse when one of the best players goes across town!

Answer 22

Yes, there is a very fine line between banter and being insulting.

The latter totally uneccessary on YA! in my opinion, but i doubt it will ever end, as some people dont know when to stop, and go on to personal things, which is totally out of order on here and on the streets.
