AyrshireTon Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 We all have our Derby games, but how many of us have a preference in other derbies (outwith whichever team would be doing you a favour)? Thoughts and opinions please...and the term "Derby" can be used loosely Renfrewshire - Morton (of course) Dundee Derby - Dundee Lanarkshire - Hamilton Lanarkshire II - Albion Rovers Ayrshire - probably Ayr Tayside - St. Johnstone Highland - Ross County Edinburgh - usually whichever result would be funnier, otherwise I'd prefer the away team to win Glasgow - the ugly sister to lose. When those two meet, an undeserved away win or a pumping for either side New Firm (or are they not New any more?) - Aberdeen Fife - largely depends on the circumstances. Normally the lower placed team in the league South West (if anyone counts this) - Stranraer Outwith Scotland - Merseyside - Everton Manchester - used to be Utd every time, but less fazed by this game now and not fussed who wins Tyne-Wear - Sunderland North London - Spurs The Arsenal/Chelsea thing - Arsenal Black Country - West Brom South Coast - Southampton Sheffield - United Beyond that - nothing to add. I have zero interest in El Classico and such like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Me neither. (Replying to @Richey Edwards before @ICTChris got in) If I'm watching the game I'll tend to want the away team to do well or the team lower in the league. That's more so that I get to see a competitive game more than anything else though. The only exceptions are the North London derby where I like Arsenal so always want them to win and the Milan derby where I prefer AC Milan to Inter. I've taken to wanting Real Madrid to beat Barcelona too, just to upset the Barca fanboys and one guy at work who gives it the whole Franco's team chat while reading about Che Guevara and not actually knowing the first thing about Spanish football.

AyrshireTon Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 I should've included the Refrewshire Derby in my list - its omission seems to be running through the thread. Edit - done it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Just read the wiki page for sporting rivalries in the UK. My indifference to most was monstrous.

Torpar Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Based on the original list; Dundee Derby - Dundee United Lanarkshire - Motherwell Lanarkshire II - Motherwell Ayrshire - Killie Tayside - St. Johnstone Highland - Ross County Edinburgh - Usually the away team, due to the pure rage it induces in the home fans Glasgow - Queens Park? New Firm (or are they not New any more?) - Aberdeen Fife - Dunfermline, if any of the three wee teams are playing each other, I hope no one wins and there is some kind of disaster , wiping out the local area South West (if anyone counts this) - Queens Dunfermline - Falkirk isn't really a derby for me, I don't hate them like I do the other Fife clubs, plus it's usually always a Falkirk win Outwith Scotland - Merseyside - Everton, The red shite truly are a scumbag club Manchester - City, just to see the rage from my Manure supporting friends, none of who come from Manchester Tyne-Wear - Sunderland North London - A game with no winners for me, usually the away team though The Arsenal/Chelsea thing - Chelsea, my brother has been a fan since the pre-Abramovich days, I remember seeing them struggle to get a draw with Southampton in a half build Stamford Bridge Black Country - West Brom South Coast - Pompey Sheffield - United Welsh border derby (Wrexham/Chester) - Wrexham Birmingham derby - City Forest/Derby - Forest Brizzle derby - City Notts derby - Notts County, they play in black and white strips Millwall/West Ham - Millwall South Wales derby - Cardiff City, used to regularly go down there to watch games at Ninian Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, would want Madrid to win for the same reason. Slightly off topic, in the gym I used to go to, there was a guy with a huge Che Guevara tattoo on his arm, the guy was black....
