Moreover there is some so-called soccer fan here who is more concerned with other people's favourite club rather than his own. To the point where he throws away genuine soccer knowledge and sense to say the ridiculous things.
But honestly, hostile name-calling of others just based on their choice of favourite clubs is really silly. A friendly ribbing between friends is ok, but there is nothing friendly with how they do it here. They have every intent to insult and to provoke.
For me, either you are one club or the other.
yes, I may dislike other clubs' supporters when they start such topics, but deep down, at least they got the guts to put their views..for that,in an ugly way, they do get my respect. Yes, we called names, throw crap at each other, but hey, it is just thrash-talking or what they called "handbags".
And once we off the browser, it gets off. It is just letting off steam, and I believe most do that, and frankly, it does not affect lives.
Yes, I may have gone over the limits, but hey, if you stay within your side, you got nothing to lose. Only if you stray beyond the line, and come out with thrashs that my statement affects. I never openly link anyone's family with one particular name.. I am making a general statement.
And if really over the limit, there are moderators that can erase.. so if they never do it, then I am still within the framework.
