Like teams:

Partick Thistle - where my mum was brought up
Airdrie - where my dad was born and raised
Alloa - lived near there for a couple of years
St Mirren - lived there for a few years
Liverpool - Shankley
Southampton - lived down south for too long


Dislike teams:

The OF

Like -

Lossiemouth (obviously - come from Lossie)
Nuneaton Town (live near there - have not played a game yet, but they are the successor club to Nuneaton Borough who folded last month)
Partick Thistle (have family in Maryhill)

Hate -

Elgin City (scummy skiters)
Forres Mechanics (wannabe skiters)
The Old Firm (bigot nonsense)
Coventry City (£5 to park my car about three miles from the ground???)

Predictably:

Like - Clach

Dislike - ICT and the Old Firm

Is Coventrys car park really three miles from the ground? I would have to express doubts about that, and assume the situation is more along the lines of you being a lazy get.

Hating a club because of their car park? Sounds petty but perfectly justified.

Like

Southend United..The team for me since 1969
Clach , saw a game whilst in Inverness and got hooked, lovely club...
Cobh Ramblers Another team I saw whilst on Holiday so I watch out for the results, not quite the adoration Clach have , but that is down to their kit being the same as West Hams
Billericay Town (Rymans League) the Town of my youth

Dislikes
ICT, The Thistle side of the merger was told to my by the bloke who introduced me to Clach...Nuff said
MK Dons - Franchise FC
West Ham, For opening a shop in the High street of a Town 40 Miles away from Upton Park who have their own league team thank you very much (Southend)
Colchester Utd , There's only ONE team in Essex
Leeds Utd, Hideous, cheating team years ago, Hideous cheating Chairman now
Most of the premiershite...

I hear ya Firestorm. As you may be aware, in Inverness there is both Celtic and Rangers shops - 150 miles from Glasgow! A sad situation.

Please explain how you see, 'the thistle side'.

The team who finished in the bottom 3 in their league in thre last 2 seasons in the HL, being worthy of a scottish league place through the merger.

I think he means he heard from a Thistle fan who was against the merger.

They have several car parks, some of which are over a mile from the ground. And all are £5. The closest ones are for permit holders.

Admittedly the three miles was a slight exaggeration, but still enough to make it a 30 minute walk.

But don't worry, the hatred of Cov for their car parking isn't the real reason I hate them (it was a bait for you as I know you think it is the prime reason I hate them).

I hate them for being sky blue scum.

Anyone who are playing against ICT

HATE

ICT

Going by the size of your leggies thats probably about a hundred yards.

So are you not allowed to park in the retail park next door with space for about 10,000 cars?
Or what looks like parking spaces across the road?
Where did you park - Tesco at J3??

Loved:
Wick Academy
Rangers

Liked:
Arsenal
Birmingham
Previous HL clubs in SPL/SFL, always look out for results.

Hated:
Celtic
Man U
Brora
Clach

You're not allowed to park in either. On match days the retail park has security on the gates stopping anyone trying to attend the football from parking their car there.

The big car park across the road is for permit holders only.

As for where I have parked on match days there, it was over between Keresley/Radford at an official fans car park.

Correct, mind you, it had an impact, we've kept in touch ever since and we are back up to visit and get a Clach game in in September

Fair play, it's a while since i've been to the famous Grant St San Giro.

I keep meaning to go to a Clach game when i'm back up visiting but the boozer always wins.

We are up for a 2 weeks, but on Skye for the first week, get the Forres game in on our last day of the week in Inverness. A bit out of synch with the League 1 fixture list as Southend are playing in Carlisle on Sept 6th , which is the week after we are travelling through Cralisle on the way to Skye.

Should do plenty of the Pub thing as well , I particularly like the Market Porter as well as the Waterfront

The Market Porter?

There used to be a decent pub quiz in the Waterfront in which our team cheated and won.

"We're ve Nawf Bank, we're ve Nawf Bank,
we're ve Nawf Bank at Roots Hall"

It was a Sahfend supporting mate that got me back to watching live fooball after some years absence.

Got confused ...its me age...
The Market Bar. The Market porter is a boozer near me at work.........

And were still singing it, Except the North is for away supporters now, so it rings round the ground as the Sarf Bank, West Side etc.

Leaving Roots Hall in a couple of years, just got final planning permission on a new stadium abouut a mile or so away from RH. Bit of a Shame but the extra income (it will have retail outlets, a hotel attached to it) should mean we will be able to compete a bit better on the financial side and try and cement a place in the 2nd tier. Also the capacity of RH has reduced over the years due to the Taylor Report and building flats on the massive old Southbank. This will give as potential for bigger gates.
Its just a shame that Fossetts Farm does not quite have the ring of Roots Hall.

Does your mate still go ?

On his rare trips back down to see the family. He's lived in Harrogate and Leeds for about 15 years/3 kids. He'll see the odd away game if the Shrimper's are up north as well.

Well he's not alone in Harrogate, a quick scout around on Shrimperzone (the main unofficial bedsite/forum) revealed a NorthYorkshireshrimper from Harrogate . mind you if you mate has a 14 year old Son then he already know this !

We have a couple of regular fans from Scotland as well I know Shrimpers fans currently living in Aultbea, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Inverness

No contest here..........ICT are the most despised team in my universe. There can be no excuse for anyone supporting a club like that.

Love - Rangers, North Uist,

Like - Nottingham Forest, Whitehill Welfare, Chelsea (i hate myself for it), Parma, Clach, Partick Thistle,

Dislike - Celtic, Southend (not the league 1 side) Benbecula, St Mirren, erm whatever team Noel Hunt plays for, Bolton, Sheff Utd, Livingston, Dunfermline,

likes:

Celtic - my team, brought up to be a celtic fan in celtic family.

Buckie Thistle - my local team

Ross County - after winning promotion to division 1 the first time i was outside their ground with my dad having a look in and some guy (i think the groundsman) came upto us and asked if we'd like a tour round the place and he showed us around the ground and then gave me a ross county kit, signed program, and a football for nothing. so liked them ever since

Cambridge Utd - i had a premier league manager game on the sega mega drive and you had to start with an english division 3 club, i picked them for no real reason and from then on always picked them, so as a result i looked out for their results in real life

Liverpool - my favourite english team.



dislikes:

Rangers - obvious reasons

Elgin City - who does like them?

Man Utd - arrogant twats, their not even the best club in england.

Hearts - diet huns

FC Porto - obvious again

And why would this be?

because i dont like his noising up style of play...hes always at the ref, the opposition fans etc etc.

Aye. That's what it is.

Like

Ross County - Once a Staggie always a Staggie.

Newcatle United - Sucker for attractive football, it was the time that Keegan was there, first time round. The style of football imeditely captured the young (and foolish) Mackie.


Have a Small favouring to

Dundee - I did'nt have a top league team at that stage, and decided to go for Dundee, also I former Toon hero played for them (name to difficult to even start to spell)

Elgin/Peterhead - Always look out for them in the results and bith have so many former Staggies at both clubs; one way or the other.


Team I mildy dislike

Spurs - No real reason really, just never liked them.


Teams I Dislike a lot

ICT - Obvious reason, although I do not wish for them to get relegated or anything like that, just don'e want them to do to well

Man Utd - He played dirty mind games with a suspectable loony, anyone who goes that low deserves my dislike

Liverpool - Whine all the sodding time

The Old Firm - Not so much the team, just all the bigot pish that attaches itself to both clubs. There is no need for some of the stuff my Old Firm mates say/sing, I could'nt see myself ever going down to that level.

Teams I like - Lossie.

Teams I dislike - Elgin City. New Elgin. Elgin Albion, despite them playing in Duffus. Bishopmill. Portgordon Victoria. Whoever John Innes is supporting this week/month/season. ICT.

Teams I laugh at - The Huns. Liverpool.

Would that be the Southend in Ireland then ?

No. The Southend in the Uist & Barra League.

What do you think?

I refer you to the post above, its the team in the league where im from. try reading the posts...

Please excuse my Ignorance, I was aware of a Southend in the Irish league but the constituent members of Uist and Barra league was a bit beyond me.....

Checked Southend out though, 10-3 away from from home on Tuesday.....

fek sake, i've seen it all now, a lossie bigot.

I thought Calum_gers was from the western isles or some such hole.

Yes, and Uist & Barra are isles on the west coast of Scotland.

Making them part of the Western Isles.

I have a mother from Lewis & father from Harris so know them well.

You know your mother and father well? And you feel the need to tell us this why?

What a p***k u are mate, seriously.

Gavin was right, this particular fishing hole is well stocked.
