Does anyone follow a second team?

[Bluerover]

Sheffield Wednesday and some team in Glasgow as well. Really though only Corks hurling and gaelic football teams and Carlton in the afl, are equal to Everton in terms of emotional investment and passion.

Mate, if we didn't have GAA I don't know where would be. I love Everton but they are.really depressing.

I was born in Churchtown on the Southside of Dublin so would Shamrock Rovers be my local team?

The southside is very much Rovers territory so yes. Although i think Rovers do have a few fans from the northside.

Truth be told since 1990, Cork hasn't seen much in terms of success in both codes, but at least in GAA the players give it their all.

I suppose I've got a soft spot for Aberdeen, generally looked out for their score on a weekend since the mid-80s but got enough on my plate worrying about this club without a second one as well.

If you go down it's because you actually can't get up. All unpaid.

I follow O"Higgins in Chile - just because of their odd name - and of course Everton CD in the same top division.
Havant and Waterlooville - a mate used to live there and I've watched them a few times.
Salford - since that's my home town as a wee lad.
Swindon Supermarine - decent sports club down the road.... temporarily I was the first ever ladies rugby coach when their team started up and while they searched fir someone who knew what they were doing.

It goes without saying that every team I follow suffers a permanent collapse in form. Football, wherever in the world only brings abject misery or at its best mediocre dusapoointment to me it seems.

Correct. We have fans from Finglas and the rest of the Northside. However I also knew a couple of Bozos from my side. As long as we can tolerate our differences.

Is Kevin Moran the only gaa player, who had a successful career in english football? I think he is. He won two all Ireland medals with Dublin, and the two FA Cup winners medals with Man United.

Ive been a Barça 'fan' since i saw them beat man u 4-0 with stoichkov and romario, and have had a season ticket for the last 7 or 8 yrs. Felt more joy at that Newcastle win last week tho than any big game ive seen over here. Love watching the quality of football and do get really into it at the game, but itll never mean as much. Still dream of seeing us play at Camp Nou. Sadly seems to be getting further away now.

Probably mate. Although if Seamus moved over to Donegal I think he would thrive. Love him to bits

You absolute tallaght rover kopite

My mate in work goes the game religiously. I used to drink with Birmingham. A severe alco

Absolutely. As posted elsewhere, my mother was born and raised in Inchicore, and my Dad's grandfather used to own Richmond Park as a lairage for his butcher's business. So I have a soft spot for StPat's.

However, I was brought to Milltown when I was very young. The privilege of knowing Peter Farrell just reinforced my love of the Hoops and Everton.

Sad to lose you rover. Member you telling me about that
