Is it basically who your dad/mum roots for, or is there a geographical boundary as I'm under the impression with Hearts/Hibs? I'd say it's more of a family thing - those in my family who were Arabs are no longer family members. We do as the Chinese used to do with female babies - we take them out to rural Perthshire and abandon them. (For accuracy, the Chinese didn't usually come to Perthshire as far as I'm aware) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the light, 20 years ago, living in Dundee, and decided to visit each club to decide on a new allegiance. First up was a midweek cup game Dundee Utd v Kilmarnock. I accidentally ended up in the Killie support, who were lively, but the home crowd was lifeless. The following Saturday, it was up to Dens Park for 3pm, and I went in the first turnstile I came to, which brought me into a wee carnival going in the Derry. The rest is dark blue history. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the FC support is the more, "Time to party" crowd while the United support is the more "wine and cheese" crowd? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a nice place and had the best fish and chips Ive ever had there. Hell of a view out from the Harbor. Yeah Oban is nice for a few days, if you live there too long, you either must leave or end up having a major alcohol problem. Was that from a chipper called Norries? If it's still called Norries! I used to enjoy a Chip butty from there every Friday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was "The Oban Fish & Chip Shop." I also had Norries, but I liked the former better (though I seem to be in the minority). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
