Is there anything more pathetic than not supporting your local team?
>>
>has been supporting the team for 30 years
>is still being called a pathetic bandwagoner
/sp/ autists, I swear.
>>
i agree
>>
Not bagging on the guy or anything, but I wonder how he decided on Everton in the first place
>>
>>66688810
>being this upset because a lifelong fan is having his dream come true by watching his team play live for the first time

yes OP, I think I've found something more pathetic
>>
>>66688810
>confining fandom to made up boundaries

fuck off this guy is prolly a bigger fan than most everton fans
>>
>>66688810
my local team is a scottish third division club with an average attendance of 200

the club i support is manchester united and i spend at least £1k a year on tickets and travel, and I had a season ticket for 3 years (08/09, 09/10 and 12/13) as i was studying in manchester at the time

i now work in london and haven't been to a game since march 2015

the distance from my childhood home to old trafford is over 300 miles

stay mad faggot
>>
>>66688810
How is this pathetic? He's been a supporter for 30 years you fucking autist. It's not like Everton win trophies every year or even play CL football.

I'd understand it if it was someone like the Dutch City bandwagoner who obviously started watching football about 2 years ago.

Or if it was someone who "supported" a club for a few years then changed to another club that was more successful.

But seriously what is your issue with this guy?
>>

you don't decide

It's when all the Yanks pick teams based on the colour of a team's shirt, or some player who has a fancy name that is really fucking stupid.

>Picking teams based on colors
>tfw this is how I picked my favorite baseball team
I'm a shitty person aren't I?
>>
Sure it's dedication to stay with the team for 30 years, but he probably picked the team because they won and were a top team 30 years ago.
>>
>>66694022
Nah, he's a faggot.
>>
>>66694022
Yes.
>>
Insulting strangers on the internet is pretty pathetic.

Learn to love yourself OP

I don't understand why anyone would WANT to support a club they can't go and see play most weeks, or get to know all the other fans and have cheeky away days etc.
Being an armchair supporter is just as bad as obsessing over celebrities then pissing your pants and crying when you finally meet them, it's deluded.
>>
>>66688844

When do you transition from a bandwagoner to a true fan? If I choose to start supporting Barcelona today how long before you will accept me as a true fan?

Once a plastic always a plastic.
>>
>>66694022
better than picking a team based on arbitrary geography senpai
>>
>>66694224
It's to do with the intentions. If your reason for supporting a team is because they are the best. That's bandwagoning.

Really, whatever reason, someone decision to support a team is irrelevant to you. Doesn't affect you even remotely.
>>
maybe his local team isn't relevant and, while still supporting it, he chose a team to root for in the top tier of football competition
>>
It's also funny to point out that when this guy came over to watch Everton the game was cancelled due to bad weather kek.
>>
lol the British with their rabid hate of foreign supporters

ease up lads, it's just people growing attached to a team that they maybe can't watch live, but are invested in through their screens

why shit on something that makes people happy
>>

>lol the British with their rabid hate of foreign supporters
The clubs themselves love it cos they can flog overpriced tat to chinks and fill their coffers.

His local team is probably South China FC from Hong Kong so who gives a fuck

>arbitrary geography
Shirley you aren't saying it makes more sense to support a faraway team whose colors you like over the team that's closest to you.

I actually enjoy and care about the sport. That's why I am supporting a team that is good at it.

Not some trash shitters that only know how to hoof it.

I think its pretty superficial to support your team only because they are close to you. What the point?

You don't care how your team operates. It could be run by complete cunts but because of the proximity its yours?

It could be run by nothing but people from other places.

You don't care about the sport. You just walk into a stadium to yell at the teams from neighboring cities.

Arbitrary geography would be what, exactly? Someone who supports a team in their state instead a closer team that's across a state border would be arbitrary (provided there's no state govt support of either team). But aside from that, how?

I dont understand what is the problem some of you autistic fags have with supporting foreign teams. Dude is like from China or Korea, maybe he supports his local team but is aware they will never have the power of an english, spanish or german team, so he also supports an english team in european competitions. I speak for myself, I support local team here in Costa Rica, but I have my prefered teams in Europe, so I can support them in CL or their leagues

My /bundes/ team is Bayern Munich.

I first started following them in 2001 when I could finally get SBS reception in my area, and I started watching the programme, 'The World Game'. I liked the way Bayern Munich was pronounced and they were my team since then.

I then solidified them as my team when I got my first FIFA game, FIFA 2004. I would main Bayern Munich and also Arsenal, which is when I jumped on the Arsenal bandwagon. Needless to say, that ride hasn't been quite as smooth.
