Aye it's simplistic nonsense. I was born in Leeds, moved away at 2 and moved to Scotland at the age of 5, "local team" in the Scottish Borders???

My dad was Glasgow born and raised as was his father before him, took me to games at a young age... the idea that I would support anyone else but my dads team is ridiculous. 

To the guy that said he cringes hearing accents at Ibrox that aren't from Glasgow, what a pitiful person you are. 

Nah, if I hear a Rangers or Celtic fan with an East of Scotland accent I just don't view them as a proper football fan.

There are three SPFL teams in Edinburgh. Don't try and excuse those glory hunting Jambos and Hibees when they should be supporting Edinburgh City.

Except they're not glory hunting because

1- they are supporting a club in their home city

2- Hearts and Hibs don't win every week so no glory hunter would follow them.

I suspect the glory hunter element is a little over-exaggerated, on a sort of "chicken and egg" self-fulfilling prophecy basis, driven by the media coverage. As Hannibal Lecter said, "We begin by coveting what we see every day", so it's no surprise that in the absence of any other factors kids choose one of the teams that's never off the TV. There'll be peer pressure too, especially in a segregated school system, but I don't think  bairns are glory hunting per se. It's just a pure happy coincidence that the c***s win almost everything.

No its purely that the old firm win almost always, so glory hunters follow. It always amazes me that loads of Edinburgh locals support the old firm. There is no good reason for them to support a team in another city when they have two good clubs on their doorstep.

I can't stand old firm fans from anywhere other than Glasgow. They can justify the reasons they support either one of the bigot brothers all they want but everyone who is a proper football fan (anyone who supports any team other than Sevco and Sceptic) know that they're just glory hunters.

Was talking to him at work one night a year or two ago (did not recognize him) and after he found out i was a Falkirk fan. Talked about how Steven Pressley was a dick of a manager 

Well he would say that, he was eventually dropped by Pressley because he wasn't good enough.

I think a draw between Cove and Airdrie is a perfect result for our benefit. I wouldn't have wanted Airdrie to win today because I think they could be contenders as well, despite the shite football they play.

Any optimism you have at the start of a match quickly goes when you see how dire the football is. We don't have any obvious style of play, it's so poor.
