What do you think of supporters like this ?

Question

First of all let me say that *this question is NOT targeted at anyone on this forum*

If you're a regular user of this forum you might have noticed that some people or should I say... a lot of people express their hate for rival clubs on this forum. They ask more questions insulting, making fun or about their rival team(s) than the team they support. For *example* let me say that, there is a Birmingham Fan on this forum always posting questions about their rivals Aston Villa, insulting their players, the managers, calling them g*y, etc, but this Birmingham 'fan' NEVER asks a question about his/her club. Its almost like the team you hate controls your life and not the team you support, Is that sad or what ? I'm only asking this because I noticed this a lot during the past weeks on this forum, Its not banter anymore if you think it is, then you're stupid. Is it 'banter' when someone makes fun of a tragedy, is it banter if someone wishes on a player on their rival team to break his legs ? Hating other teams bring much pleasure to some people than watching the team they support. Do you have anything to say about supporters like this ?

Answer 1

There are limits to everything.

That includes to how seriously one shud take a question or answer. Everyone is their own judge. A lot of misunderstandings occur on Answers and I think maybe before someone takes a Q or A to heart, he should email the writer to clarify :)

Answer 2

Yeah, I could say alot about certain users who do that on a regular basis, but what's the point? They're not going to stop because that's what they use the site for. Baiting other fans into angry responses. That's how they get their kicks. The sad thing is that it all stems from just two or three idiots and it can cause a retaliation all day long. Ok, I am going to name names now, and one of the most central problems is Giggs is 007. It's clear for everyone to see that his purpose for using this site is to wind Liverpool fans up and annoy as many people as possible. What makes it even worse is that this idiot is actually respected by many users, so when Liverpool fans see his posts they think it's ok to do exactly the same about Man United in retaliation. (Something that you know I've been drawn into on many occasions.) Take away the users who use this site as a fishing pond (Again, I'm naming names); Giggs is 007, Uranob, and any other idiot who isn't here to discuss football (I could name a few more) and this site would be a much better place.

Answer 3

yes i completely agree with you !

i dont know what do ppl get by doing such c**p things..

but we cannot deny the fact that  a west ham & a milwall fan can never become frnds

lol  

Answer 4

oooo rattled a few people there with this "question", havent we!!??

Just dont take it seriously, dont give them the satisfaction of seeing that your upset by their comments, thats what certain users want, is a reaction, if they dont get the reaction then they eventually give up.

I myself HAVE reacted to people who are obviously trying to wind up Arsenal fans, i must admit, but you eventually learn, just leave it, and go onto the next question!

some people come on YA! are genuine fans and want to answer/ask Footie questions ... others are here to satisfy their own idiot minds.

Everything else, has been pretty much said by the others who have answered before me.

Answer 5

To be honest you can see Q's that are deliberately aimed as more than banter a mile off and as far as answering Q's that have content saying that someone/team is g*y how old or mature do you think the poster is.

I can see where your coming from by asking this and my simple answer is DONT TAKE THE BAIT!

Answer 6

I hate Inter Milan and they're rival of Milan but I think they're the best team right now.

Answer 7

IM A CHELSEA SUPPORTER  AND IVE ALWAYS SAID IF WE ALL SUPPORTED THE SAME TEAM WOULD,NT IT BE BORING

YOUR GONNA GET AND SHOULD HAVE THE BANTER THAT GOES WITH SUPPORTING YOUR TEAM BUT NOT THE HATE THATS SPEWED OUT BY A FEW MORONS

RIGHT NOW BRING ON THEM s***s POMPEY  PMSL

Answer 8

It's sad, if that's the kind of stuff they come onto Y!A for then they have too much time on their hands.

Answer 9

the 2 worst with their multiple accounts are 007 and the problem their that thick they think we cant see through them and its them 2 idiots that blame everyone else so problem retract my name as i only ask good football questions that even you cant answer

Answer 10

interesting..i for one is a manutd fan and as roma but i do not hate the other fans or clubs its only when they play against my teams..and at that point.otherwise i would agree if and when they play good games.and give credits when its due.fell in love with de rossi when i watched he missed the penalty kick against manutd in euro 08 and manutd won that match.ive watched him play eversince when i can.

Answer 11

I agree about making fun of a tragedy. That is completely out of order. Also I would never wish anyone to get a broken leg which I have seen on these forums. I have had a little rant about the mancs once but only because Giggs 007 was being really annoying taking the mickey out of the reds. All these forums seem to be now is Liverpool and Man United fans having an online fight! I have seen a few questions on here where I think Evertonians or Man United fans are laughing just because we drew with standard liege but, Everton got beat by some crappy American team in pre season and Man United could only beat Pompey on pens.

Answer 12

They should only be rivals for valid reasons, such as the clubs both come from the same city.

If it comes down to threats like breaking legs it would just be about jealousy.

Who supports Birmingham anyway?

'Woo Let's get relegated!'

=]

Answer 13

i agree.

i just wish these users would care more about their team than others

im not saying dont ask questions about another team but at least have the dignity not to insult them badly

for example ,i was pissed off too at a time when i saw a question about arsenal written by some prick that said everyone on the team is g*y even though its not true

i try to ignore but sometimes their comments are just too harsh for me to do that

and that stands for all the teams that are being ridiculed

Answer 14

Yeah I hate those spurs slags dirty good for nothing Yids.

Answer 15

sadly we can't change ppl n thats where it goes wrong! i mean this is suppose to be fun n such..but wen ppl post comments such as those then u neva know wot it'll become! all i have to say is that ppl are crossing many limits here n they shud be stopped!

Answer 16

I agree! It's only sad people whose comfort and joy is defined more by the failures and tragedies of rival clubs rather than their own teams' success.I'm Scottish but I support MUFC 'remotely' (past and present connections with traditions of the club), but always cheer on AFC, LFC,CFC etc when they're playing in Europe. Even support England against the likes of Germany, France, Italy etc..but NOT any of the other home nations. You should look at the Scottish Football section..despite the obv sectarian rift, there is usually good humoured banter between the Old Firm fans.Nearly all of them for example showed respect for the sad death of Tommy Burns (Celtic).. green or blue. G'luck with the Gooners btw..u might just squeeze 4th place this year..MU with Berbatov will be unplayable!

Answer 17

Man its like you're describing MJ.  He's a Barca fan but never posts questions about them, he always asks questions insulting other teams.  Its sad really.

Answer 18

I agree with your rant/lecture

cus watever happen 2 football because it seems that wat ever happens off the pitch is better than wats actually on to some people

that happens to me alot at skool cus i'm the onli person in my school that goes 4 chelsea
