What team to support?

I'd say Bohs because they bring more fans to away trips. Better away days. That said they could be relegated. The big club relegated hmmmm, we'll see.

I support Ireland as you well know.

I just couldn't be bothered going to LOI games for a number of reasons. Some of the things that I mentioned wouldn't necessarily put me off but it is embarrassing.

People are entitled to support who they want for whatever reasons they want.

But when it comes to LOI - the supporters have such a bad attitude, the inferior complete they have is unbelievable. They should try and concentrate on trying to promote their own club instead of calling every person that doesn't go 'barstoolers'.

50+ thousand people go and watch Celtic v Liverpool in Lansdowne Road and they are called 'barstoolers' bizarre.

Only Whelo (I think his name was) is the only person who rose about the negativity and tried to encourage people to go - and with some success.

I'm just glad that some posters agree with what I said, most of which I have said is fairly obvious to see.

We may have a smaller crowd but there's a solid atmosphere at bohs games, I know a fair few lads who support other teams and they think tallaght is awfully boring. I personally do like it out in tallaght but there fans can be a bit quiet. :)

The two teams nearest to me are Shelbourne and Bohemians but I was wondering what both the teams are like? This might seem stupid but I don't just want to choose one of them and then learn that all the fans are scum (not being offence). I am hoping that someone could enlighten me a bit about the two teams and even if you don't support either of the two teams could you tell me what their away supporters were like? Thanks.

Yes, the cork fan was boasting on behalf of Bohs? I'm starting to worry about your reading abilities, he was giving advice to the original poster who is closest to Bohs/Shels and was looking to decide which to attend.....
