And oif course, every Hibs fan should know the names of the Hibs Famous Five lineup by heart: Albert Kidd, Jon Obika, James Connolly, Irvine Welsh, and Craig Levein. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To translate, The term "Crowdwanking" refers to fans of a team perpetually bragging about their attendance as a way to either points score or deflect from discussing a more important winner. Also used to try to belittle other teams with smaller average attendances, frequently to deflect attention away from the fact that their team is doing poorly (which for Falkirk is frequently) Edited June 19, 2020 by senorsoupe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Are you concerned there is too much happiness in your life? Do you enjoy being ridiculed and abused? Do you look forward to spending your Saturdays feeling thoroughly fed up? Would you like to see people's eyes glaze over when you tell them which Scottish team you support? Is it your hope that one day, before too long, you'll ask yourself why you ever decided to follow Scottish football? If you answered 'yes' to any of those questions, my I suggest my team, Falkirk? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 11 hours ago, Comrie said: Any non-OF teams runs in Europe usually mean an embarrassing defeat in Estonia, Finland or Iceland so just go the full hog and support a proper diddy club who can't shame you on the domestic and european stage. IDK, Falkirk have gone from being humiliated by a team from Liechtenstein at the European level to getting regularly turned over by fellow seaside league non-entities like 'Clyde' (ed: check spelling) in the space of barely ten years. Not to mention getting humiliated by only the second best team in Wales at the transnational level of the Challenge Cup as well. That's the trifecta of Scottish football diddydom completed right there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from Kansas, and this doesn't matter to anyone here, but just fyi the Chiefs are actually located in Missouri. I believe there is also an Elgin, Missouri, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Looking at a map, is Motherwell a suburb of Glasgow? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are right next to each other and separated by a river in some places and just a street in others (pubs close at 2 am in Kansas and 3 in Missouri). Kansas City, Missouri is the city everyone usually refers to. The Chiefs are located on the Missouri side (and technically not in Kansas City, just to make things more confusing). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanFan Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 8 hours ago, LogieLivi said: The answer is of course Livingston. Best team in the Lothians. Not been defeated by Hearts or Hibs in the league for 2 years. We took the most amount of points off Celtic last season than any other club. We are regarded as a "franchise" club which of course is a thing most known on America. 5 seasons ago we were relegated to League 1 by Stranraer. This season we finished 5th in the Premiership and without Covid we maybe could have made it to 4th. Plus we have Marvin Bartley. Thanks for the contribution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Clyde are good guys, really. Guaranteed fo always vote in a way that irritates Rangers or whichever team has gone a bit Rangersey (currently Hearts). We also sound like an American outlaw. Yes, I can't really defend the signing of DGW, but then, you support Tyreek Hill... Plus, we seem constantly on the brink of financial armageddon so, if it doesn't work out, you may well be able to choose a new team soon enough anyway. And there's always the off chance that our next crazy relocation scheme could see us move to America, which would be handy for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
