Apropos of nothing very much; an American friend recently corrected my pronunciation of this team. He explained it should be "Keltic". I thanked him politely and told him I'd let the Glaswegians know the next time I was over. 23 hours ago, AmericanFan said: There's no real reason for Aberdeen. It used to be a major oil and shipping port but otherwise, yes you're right. 23 hours ago, AmericanFan said: I actually dig Dundee United's away uniforms. Ra polis wear uniforms.

There's that time the actor Richard Burton was staggering through a Welsh airport, pissed out of his skull as usual. An American tourist comes up to him, and says 'Mr Branson, we've got something in common - we're both Selts'. Branson says 'Correction - I'm a Celt, and you're a sunt!' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairn Terrier Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Why not just pick the team that is closest to the good ol’ US of A. Stranraer. You're welcome. Edited August 17, 2020 by Cairn Terrier 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others may see them as pish (did I get that term right?), but I like them (and purple is the color of my university). 1. Savage. 2. We'll have to nip this in the bud pretty quickly. They are strips. Granted I give it a few years before that are commonly referred fo as "uniforms" but I will fight this fight. 3. Spot on. The phrasing, that is. Not the strip, because it's an absolute stoater. If you want to support a team without any of the fun and joy associated with football I suggest Clyde. Eternally shite, look to our rapist star striker like a god and if you speak about it you might be lucky enough to get a message off another Clyde fan asking "how would you feel if your son was accused of rape?" There's also the added bonus of being so detached from the club that some years you can get right through to March before you even bother to check the league table. Failing that just start a Football Manager game footering about The Championship and after a couple of seasons you might land a decent job and develop an affinity for one of the teams. I have a soft spot for St. Mirren for that very reason despite Paisley (where they based) being the stuff of nightmares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
