wastecoatwilly Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 alot of good wee stories in hear,strange that the school fans went to decided what team you supported at a early age,growing up in the eastend of Glasgow and being born 9 months after Celtic won the European cup my fate was sealed it is in my blood,i didn't go to a Catholic school so there was no peer pressure,but instead of learning how to read and write and do sums fighting was always the lesson as i was the only Celtic fan in my years,one of my mates was the opposite his family were all rangers men and woman but he rebelled against that and became an Aberdeen fan probably to piss his dad off,later he fell out with Scottish footie and started going to Carlisle games which strangely play in red white and blue but still hates talking Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if a St Johnstone fan moves from Perth to Kilmarnock - should they start supporting Kilmarnock or continue with St Johnstone? Your team will be your team no matter what. I did however go to Mallorca games while staying there for a bit. Also went to Sunderland games in the late 80s early 90s as well but the first result I looked for and always will no matter where on the planet I am is St Johnstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 If it's a different league, different level whatever, you can have as many teams as you like, if you go to or have been to their games. My da lived in Fife, Aberdeen, Norwich and Manchester, and went to games at all these places. Don't see there's much wrong with forming a bit of an allegiance. His team is Aberdeen though, no doubt about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverWolfe Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I tried to change teams to Dumbarton and started to go to their home games for the 2011/12 season and luckily watched them win promotion. My daughter (child number 1) was born in 2009 and it got me a little confused as to whether I wanted my children involved with the crap that goes along with being a Celtic supporter. When Neil Lennon took over Celtic I refused to go to Celtic park while he was in charge.As much as I tried during a successful season I just couldn't feel the same passion and love and eventually stopped going. Tried out Thistle and lasted one afternoon. I was a Celtic fan from the day I was born due to my old man and no matter how much I tried to get out I just couldn't. Neither of my two kids have ever worn a Celtic top yet and still undecided what way I want them to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least you recognise that there's something intrinsically wrong about supporting an OF club. This constitutes a start. I appreciate your own internal struggle to break away, but at least do the decent thing and steer your own kids away, so they're not later saddled with the same struggle. Of course it's possible to develop an affection for another club, especially if they become local to you. Your club is your club though and switching is only acceptable when it involves ditching the OF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Aberdeen are my team ever since being taken to Pittodrie in 1963. (My father took me to Glebe Park once in the late 50s, I don't remember anything about it.) Used to watch Elgin City in the Highland League when my parents moved there and I was visiting. Still follow their results. When I moved over here started going to Coleraine home and away, although it's a long time since I was at a match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Guy I knew from school started going to Livi games a couple years ago. This was the season Hearts ruined 'The Journey'. Conveniently he disappeared when Rangers started winning again and posts a load of Rangers shite on Facebook. Utter roaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tackle Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I wasn't really into football until I turned 10. I was bought some Hibs items from a family member, then we moved and I started at Tynecastle High School. Fell in love with Hearts and now the other half of the family don't like me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partick Monkey Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I was brought up in the sticks in 80's Ayrshire where everyone in my primary school was a Rangers fan. My cousin would take me to Ibrox when I was 7-8 and buy me all the gear. Bed spread, shirts posters etc. I had a bigot of an uncle who used to teach me all the 'party songs' that I used to sing because I had no understanding of what it was I was singing about. This got me in trouble a couple of times and I feel utterly ashamed and embarrassed for this now even though I had no idea what I was doing at the time. By the time I went to the 'big school' my cousin had left the country and I kind of lost interest in club football for a while until I moved to Glasgow. Thats really when it hit home what the f**k was going on with the Old Firm and what those songs meant and everything that went with it. I'd seen and heard these things before but living amongst it and understanding was an eye opener. I moved to near Great Western Rd just a few minutes walk from Firhill and one match day I saw a bunch of Jags fans walk by my window going to the game. I went along on a whim and really enjoyed the experience of being in that crowd that day. It was completely different to the bile and hatred I'd witnessed at ibrox years before That was about 20years ago and I've been proud supporter of Thistle ever since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_14 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I worked with an Aberdonian guy who was a 'Rangers' fan 4 years ago. Raved on about them, how they were going to pump the sheep etc etc. They went bust, and he decided to support Aberdeen. He'll post Aberdeen statuses on Facebook and the like, and doesn't hesitate to slag off the '****' etc. When you remind him he was also a ***, he deletes your comment. On the rare occasion that I have seen him in person and jovially brought it up, he has failed to give me a valid reason so f**k knows what it's all about. He was in his early twenties at the time though so it's inexcusable, even though he switched to my team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
