    To play devil's advocate, most Man U and Liverpool fans probably have the same story but still get referred to as glory hunters. I don't have a problem with that myself but most 'glory hunters' in reality aren't looking for glory at all, it's just naturally what they're exposed to by the media. Obviously there are some twats who just switch team when the one they've latched onto for a while stop doing well. Those people are glory supporting twats.

    People are free to support whoever they like as far as i'm concerned. I don't really care if some random from Botswana or outer Mongolia supoorts Man Utd or Exeter, they have their own reasons for choosing that team so who am I to question their choice.

    Support who you want.

    Brought up Catholic in protestant dominated Scotland at the height of the troubles, primary school one of the 1st in UK to have perspex glass due to the continual brick bombardment even during classes, extended family all followed Hibs but I thought them a bunch of integrating wimps and so joined the exodus outta the east with my older brother and into the cauldron of Provo paradise.

    Its all calmed down now thankfully, but I'm still a fundamentalist Tim

    Glory hunter propaganda. It's not okay to be from Essex and support ManUre.

    A bit melodramatic. No?

    Scotland's bigotry problem is and was shameful. To refer it to as the "troubles" cheapens the hardships, struggles and loss of life people in Northern Ireland lived with on a daily basis.

    Lot of bombs going off in Scotland, were there? Many kneecappings? Bloody Sunday in Glasgow, was it?

    Protestant dominated Scotland, you say? There are far more practicing Catholics in Scotland than there are protestants. Church/Chapel figures over the last 30 years have shown this to be a fact.

    Troubles, indeed.

    Away and ****e.

    Calm down chap!

    Just because there was no kneecappings doesn't mean there was no mayhem. I used the 'troubles' to describe that particular moment in time, mid 70's.
