Come here to laugh at Dippers

[Go on son]

The history goes deep. Always playing second fiddle to larger cities like London.

Large expat Irish population, so the perception of being romantic outsiders against the 'man'.

The Catholism also factors in, treating their team like an evangelical religion.

Big fish in a small pond (see Everton ). In London you learn quickly that your team is not the centre of the universe!

Im irish and i cant stand them. Lot of places with large irish expat community that certainly dont have that liverpool attitude and mentality

The majority of people in Northern Ireland are either United or Liverpool fans.

Their dads and grandparents definately weren't glory hunters during very successful periods*.

*shhhhhhhh

Don’t think we can take the piss on that count, I would happily burn our players out to win the league and champions league, then fall off a cliff into being top of the league, albeit having played one game more.
Damn i sound like a Liverpool fan, hope all on TFC can forgive me. I fully understand if I get red carded
for sinking so low, Going for a bath in sulphuric acid

I’m actually mocking the narrative

 

[sammyspurs]

I would say that is exactly what happens. Taken to the extremes, would you not agree that playing the same tactics could be considered "conservative" against City, but "too negative" against Enfield High School U13 girls? That's your argument distilled.

No the tactics are conservative or too negative.
They would still be conservative against Enfield U13s.......or too negative, but they can’t be both

I think this needs a poll.

By the way can you imagine the what this place would look like, if it was Serge not the sainted TAA with that weak ass swat clearance and ball bounce in the box...

I reckon a CL medal would have earned him a lot of leeway. Look at Lucas, still dining off that 45 mins in Amsterdam.

Plus, the double whammy of being English & a dipper. Its almost contractual in the English media to say no bad words about that combo

That is surprisingly hard to call

I assume because it's a different competition? Have the FA said anything about forfeiting matches or postponements?

Someone posted something on here regarding the FA rules on Cup games.

Basically, it said that as long as a club had 14 fit players (including youth players) the game goes ahead.

How true that is, I've no idea.

I know Shrewsbury game is off cos of the cases at Shrewsbury. Maybe as a lower division club they have less players available

I do think that whatever the rule is, as long as its consistently applied is what matters
