Barnacle Brian 0 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 The bit where they are all lifting bits of timber like trophies is weird like. A real life lumberjack saws off a slab for each goal they score. It's been a Portland tradition since the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbsweeney 0 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Really, the only other team is my hometown team: Perth Glory. Fully-paid member and attend all home matches. Otherwise, I do have an eye for Barca 'cause they play such stunning football. But I don't watch their games with any regularity. (Also, it makes me feel a bit of a bandwagoner). In Serie A, for no real reason why, I do have a soft spot for Palermo (maybe cause Beresciano plays for them). I do have Italian heritage in my background, so really I should find what the local team is for the region that my rellies come from (probably some piss-ant team).

AmericanMag 0 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Greece: OFI/PAOK Italy: Inter Spain: Barca Germany: Schalke Scotland: Rangers Turkey: Besiktas I have a lot of greek friends (I go to a Greek Orthodox church) who are all Olympiakos/Panathinaikos/AEK supporters but my connections are with Crete although I look to see that PAOK is beating the Athenian teams as well (since OFI was relegated). I look out for the Besiktas results because of the Turkish students I have in class all support them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Lazio. Used to follow them years ago after I got one of their shirts which was in Fenwicks sportswear section for ages. I thought the shirt was really nice and my mam finally relented and bought me it, by which time I'd seen quite a bit of them on TV through Football Italia etc. Don't really follow them these days, but do occasionally watch out for their results.

Montrose_Mag 0 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 My only other team are Montrose as that's my hometown. Shit team, shit support, shit owners, shit football and shit grounds. But I fooking love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Kids Support Chelsea!! 0 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I look out for Udinese in Italy as that is where my Dad's family come from, or SV Hamburg in Germany as I saw agame there while on School Exchange when I was 14. I wouldn't say I have any real affection for either, just a passing interest. I watch a lot of my local non-league side - Hampton & Richmond Borough - but I struggle with the idea of supporting more than one team even if they are in different countries.

bjquick 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Newcastle United Jets There my local team, fully paid member as well. The football isnt that great and the support is nothing compared to overseas, only time the support was really good was at the grand final.

Guest Stevie Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Espanyol. - because i lived there. saying barca is like anyone outside the uk saying Man Utd or Arsenal and then trying to justify the gloryhunting on their style of football. Totally agree. I must point in no way do I support Sevilla, sometimes I can go a weekend without knowing their score, I just like their fans, the club and their you score 3 we'll score 4 attitude. I don't know how people can admire clubs who are largely big corporations who have manipulated the masses in to believing myths. Barcelona being a point in case. They are the most arrogant club in the world in my view, a title jointly held with Real. As for Inter what is to like about them, they spend three times more than anyone else, play boring football, and their fans, as we found out first hand, are complete cunts.

Jackies the Lad 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 For me it has to be Fenerbahce, not really just the team but the fanatical support and crazy atmosphere at every match, whether it's in the stadium or just watching them on TV in some remote village. The fans go wild, craaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 L.A Riot squad? Given the riots in L.A that's a class name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben7 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) L.A Riot squad? Given the riots in L.A that's a class name yeap, indeed - the name related to the LA riots. Below is some basic info, for more go here The LA Riot Squad established in 2001 as the anti supporter's group. (no dues, no memberships and no officers) is not a hooligan group nor is it racist. Violence and racism will not be tolerated. prides itself as a very multiracial group = simply superb bunch of people, I always have a great time when I go over and there's even 1 or 2 Newcastle fans among them too.

Nyff 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Got a soft spot for Atletico Madrid. It probably started after becoming majorly impressed with Torres/Aguero, and from then on I just took a general interest in them. Other foreign teams I take an interest in are mainly those I've managed on Football Manager at some point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charvski 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Germany - VFB Stuttgart (because I lived there for a short while) and Shalke ( because they sorted there fans sorted me tickets in the away end of the allianz arena for Klinsmanns last game in charge, was class) Italy - Fiorentina (because of football Italia on channel 4 when I was a kid, used to love Batistutia) edit. Spain - Barcelona, used to like watching them after usa 94 when I realised Romaria, Stoichkov and Hagi all played for them Edited September 27, 2009 by charvski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnacle Brian 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) LA RiotSquad More like LA Quiet Squad.

OTF 7297 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Local team for me is Sydney FC. They're not exactly a likeable bunch though, but I support them simply because they're my local team. Standard of football is quite frankly pretty shoddy. Probably around League One standard. Don't give two hoots about any of the teams in La Liga - not the biggest fan of the way they play football there (even though it has a leaning towards more emphatic goals) and don't like the whole two horse juggernaut they have going on there. For that reason I could never support Barca or Real (and because most of the people who claim to be fans of those teams have no idea). Also don't really care about Italian football. Of course the foreign team I support is Newcastle United. I'm flat out supporting and watching them, so don't have the time to really care about any other teams....other than my beloved Parramatta Eels (Rugby League).
