OT: How'd you come to be a red?

sadly for you:

1. They're both accounted for and

2. They don't like yanks

 

So most of you non scousers are glory hunters, born in an era when we were dominant.

Only us under 30 can really be classified as real LFC fans, born in an era when we were a bit pants and had to wait a while for our first real bit of silverware

 

I assure you that us oldies know what its like to suffer, sometimes we had to wait a whole season before we won anything!

 

Not really a glory hunter... more a "following a team everyone else thought was cool in my primary school" - although I was a fan in name only for the first 20 or so years of my life... I didn't really start following closely until the late Houllier years.

 

My heart bleeds for you

 

Surely Glory Hunters would have jumped ship when the league titles and Euro-domination dried up?

You've just entered what I call the Manc Paradox: are we ****, in which case we cannot be Glory Hunters, or are we a very successful team. That ties them up for hours. They'll always contradict themselves, though, given enough time.

However, I had a Glory Hunting cousin who started as a Red, then changed to being a Man Utd fan, then an Arsenal fan (at 'Invincibles' time), now he supports Bayern Munich . . . and Newcastle* United!


*He currently lives in Newcastle.

 

I knew a kid... Everton fan in Primary School (big Linekar fan)- then became a Tottenham fan when Linekar joined Tottenham. After Linkear left Spurs instead of reverting back to Everton or continuing supporting Spurs he started supporting Man Utd for no known reason (other than that was about the time United started to do well).




/ No idea who he supports now- I left for the US about the same time he started supporting United... not sure if he stuck with them or became a fan of City or Chelsea as they became more famous.

 

basically people like that are obnoxious if they "think" they know it all about football... a casual fan is one thing. just what the big games or take some mild interest... whatever. there's thousands of lads you could probably say that fitted


but lads who buy team shirts of the latest winners and act like they are cock of the hoop... assholes

 

All tidied up, keep on topic otherwise I'm assigning MITO to chop you up into thousands of pieces!!!

 

Born into it I guess, my first ever game to watch was Heysel.

 

'The' Heysel game or 'a' Heysel game?

 

Got taken to Anfield a lot as a kid, also went to a couple of blue ****e matches. Got given a goodie(son) pack at one (desperation move) including a blue ****e towel with their secret dogging tower on it. Used the towel to dry my arse after bathtime. It had a pencil case too and a patch crest which me and some mates at school ended up squirting with some acid in a chemistry lesson. We put magnesium inside the pencil case though and lit it.
