its not a credible view.It's fucking incredible how a false narrative can take hold and forms opinion.
If you love football and appreciate it by watching other games of football from different leagues and around the World there is no way you are going to have this view. It's really, really easy to spot a true plastic football fan, someone who doesn't watch anything outside of the prism of their "own" club.

"plastic FOOTBALL fan", is different from a "plastic CLUB (*insert club name of choice) fan.Of topic some, but I thoroughly reject your definition of a "plastic fan"....

I didn't say that.Sure, i still reject the idea that a fan is plastic cos they don't watch a predetermined amount of other clubs games.
That's nouveau footy bollocks.
I'm saying anyone that has an affection for the "game" can acknowledge how good any players are from other clubs. For those who solely watch football from the prism of their own club leaves them blinkered to a wider appreciation of everything outside of their club.
Goldbridge (not even his real name) is a classic example of this. (In fact he's far worse because he's not even a Utd fan but a supposedly a Forrest fan(??). He exists solely for the click, response and youtube view, the very definition of Plastic). Take narratives and runs with them, explodes them to his an audience that rinse and repeat them until they are embedded as fact.
It's all fake, it's plastic as fuck.
It doesn't and wouldn't say a thing against that. I would however if that individual started to talk about other players, clubs, countries that they clearly knew nothing about, on account that they don't know anything about because they don't watch any other games.Hmmmm.... Kinda did tbf.
Well your point is clear now at least, but you're still putting a big personal twist on the term "plastic fan".....
I'd just call that being a youtube/twitter wanker.
Plastics are generally defined as fairweather/glory hunter types and/or those that have little commitment to supporting their team.
I may be a season ticket holder; watch no other games and thus only see the game through a partisan perspective ("prism") of my club..... Doesn’t make me a plastic.
