Subject: What team to support?
Date Posted: 14 Aug 2013 at 5:22am
Hi,
I'm located near Swords, Co. Dublin and I really want to get into LOI football.
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.

Probably best off going to one or two games each to see for yourself. You might find yourself enjoying it more at either ground

I wouldn't bother supporting a LOI team.

You'll go to a game and they will start calling you a barstooler and start shouting 'who are ya' in an English accent.

Doesn't matter which you pick, they'll both be gone in a few years anyway.

Your comment that you don't wanna find out all their fans are scum is worrying for a start, that sorta silly tarring of fans with the one brush doesn't bode well for you.
 
Just pick your club, go, go again and be PATIENT. 
 
Less of the generalising will help.

To be fair to HB, there is an element who can't/won't welcome new fans.  When I was up in Sligo a couple of years ago, some Hoops fans were acting the maggot and a lad near me started shouting at them to give it over.

Just as close by was another buffoon, around my age (mid 40) who I've seen for donkeys years at Rovers games and he starts shouting at the lad to leave the maggots alone and he starts calling him a "blow-in" cos he didn't recognise him!!  Some spanners want it every way, I can see HB's point here.

keeling you are more than welcome along to Dalymount.  There is a decent group of us here that go.   Drop me a pm if you like. 
 
Every team in the world has a small collection of fans that are scum, Why, because its a relfection of society which has scum elements.

both  Shels and Bohs are involved in a relegation battle. 
 
St Pats are going for the title and Shamrock are mid table.   Drogheda are not far from you either and they are probably going to finish mid table also.

By the way Keeping, I forgot to add that a user on here called Trapped looks after new fans under the age of 21.   He is our New Youth Fan Co-Ordination Officer.   Drop him a pm and he will look after you and show you the ropes.

There's going to be a few toerags supporting most clubs, but suggesting that all the fans of a club could be 'scum' is a very ridiculous statement.

Never heard of people attending games getting verbal abuse for being a barstooler, blow in, etc. We had a few hundred Germans over for the Ireland game last year that went to our game against Cork that weekend, no trouble whatsoever in fact a few of them have since come back to Tolka this year for games. I can safely say you'd be more than welcome to come to a game in Tolka.

There is a German and a Dutch guy who go to all the Bohs games who sit in front of is. Week in week out and know Loads about the team. Asked them how they started going and they said its the highest standard of live football on their doorstep why wouldn't they go.

You must support United or something.

I forgot this section if for begrudgery.

Just look at FreeWheelers post - he has seen this too.

@ 9 Fingers - Tallaght and Dalymount.

I will guarantee you now - if you go a LOI game you'll grown men shouting in English accents - 'Who are ya' and other wanna be Green Street chants.

Absolute cringefest.

Cringefest is the boats and planes heading over to the land of tans everyweekend. The "who are ya" in the English accents and the green street wannabes is annoying but it's a great night out watching live football not on front of a telly.

I have been going to ucd for 3 or 4 seasons, say what you want about the lack of atmosphere but there is no english wannabees (home or away fans) - it took me a few times listening before i understood some of the derry chants last week because of their accent.

fans that chant or sing improve the atmosphere of the league, how you have changed this into green street wannabees is your own imagination, there are of course scum elements at most clubs (as has been pointed out, not denied, same at most clubs in the world) is this what you mean? Still haven't a clue why you bothered coming into this thread, a new fan is looking for some help/advice, LOI fans have offered him some, your input is what?

Rovers are Dublin's club and are the default setting. Unless you have a family reason or psychiatric problem, then you would follow one of the smaller clubs.

My input is he shouldn't bother for the reasons I posted above.

My experience is at Tallaght and Dalymount so UCD may not have this issue.

The Green Street wannabes was on TV3 not so long ago and if you look on youtube you will also find these lads.

LOI football is the best standard of live football for the viewing public on this island.

It my not be of a standard acceptable to some particularly to the customers of the multi billion pound industry that is the EPL but it is nontheless the best league in Ireland.
 
Whether you opt to support a league played in your own country, generally played by Irish lads from your own area, supported by Irish people from your own locality or prefer to support a league in another country thats up to you.
 
As an Irish person who loves football its great to have the option to support a league in my own country instead of helping to finance Wayne Rooneys latest hair transplant.
 
And as a LOI i do feel more patriotic to Irish Football than those who dismiss the LOI and chose other vehicles to demonstate their lifelong support.
 
To answer the original question go to a few games, give it a bit of time and make a call then..........

I don't have an issue with the LOI. I have an issue with LOI fans.

@ 9 fingers - I'm not from Darndale

Why wouldn't I go to a LOI game? I follow football and enjoyed going to these games.

However some of the behaviour of these so called fans are just embarrassing.

Whether you opt to support a league played in your own country, generally played by Irish lads from your own area, supported by Irish people from your own locality or prefer to support a league in another country thats up to you.
 
As an Irish person who loves football its great to have the option to support a league in my own country instead of helping to finance Wayne Rooneys latest hair transplant.
 
And as a LOI i do feel more patriotic to Irish Football than those who dismiss the LOI and chose other vehicles to demonstate their lifelong support.
 
To answer the original question go to a few games, give it a bit of time and make a call then..........

I wouldn't bother supporting a LOI team.

You'll go to a game and they will start calling you a barstooler and start shouting 'who are ya' in an English accent.

 
 
You really are a scummy ****. 1/you always lurk on this section 2/ you actually jumped on the Shams bandwagon at one stage before discovering that supporting a team means actually travelling and going to games, not just clicking 401 on your remote control.

Correct on everything you said there Quey.

I did go to games, alot of them too but stopped for number of reasons.
I still follow the league, and hope Shams do well.

And I'll probably go a few more games too.

But my point still stands. LOI supporters have a massive chip on their shoulder.
And the behaviour of the some LOI fans is embarrassing.

Horsebox - Agree that the behaviour of some LOI is at times embarrassing, but they represent a tiny amount of the cohort of LOI fans and are usually "wannabes" who only turn up to throw a few shapes. Realistically when has there ever been any real trouble at LOI games ? In my lifetime the only night i can remember real trouble involving a LOI team was the night Bohs played Rangers in the UEFA Cup and that was nearly 30 years ago.
 
As regards the old chip on the shoulder chestnut, you could have a valid point but imo LOI fans feel somewhat agrieved that the League they love unconditionally receives so much negativity from people who regard themseleves as football fans particularly when those fans rarely attended matches....

As always lads, it's a minority who give it a bad name, be it spotty fookheads trying to fight (with other fans or themselves), the idiot in Sligo branding a decent man a "blow-in" or other chips on their shoulders (they normally have several).

I would never discourage anyone from going to L of I games (be it once, twice or infinitely).
 
People who dismiss the L of I as being sh*te while never actually going to games really aren't worth listening to, about anything.
 
Finally Horsey, agree with you on many things but bringing that abysmal and amateurish TV3 programme...........scarleh Embarrassed

Why wouldn't I go to a LOI game? I follow football and enjoyed going to these games.

However some of the behaviour of these so called fans are just embarrassing.


The behavior from small amounts of fans from every club in the world can be embarrassing or cringy. There are saps everywhere. This is not limited to LOI, there are a fair few in YBIG too.

If you were to judge any fan group on its ignorant minority you would never support anybody.  

Ireland has muppets as fans so do Celtic, Liverpool, Spurs, Man United, Rovers, Pats, Bohs, Rangers, England the whole lot of them. 

Not supporting a team or going to games because you think some people there are muppets is Embarrassed especially when you also shout for Celtic and Liverpool.

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.

Whatever ya do pal don't take Internet forums as the norm for LOI fans! If you don't want to choose one of the relegation bound duo take in a pats game they playing shels this week in fact check out them both!

Only team around you that don't have anything to play for in the league is rovers so all the rest should give ya competitive games!

Go to your closest team and support them.

If they do get relegated, you'll have great craic next year anyway.

Football isn't only about supporting the team that will be most successful.

Not supporting a team or going to games because you think some people there are muppets is Embarrassed especially when you also shout for Celtic and Liverpool.  




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

Makes a lot of sense.

It's not an argument.

I just find it amazing someone would actively discourage someone from trying the Friday night experience  because they have seen a few teenagers in Stone Island gear ,extremely weak argument and I can for one rubbish his suggestion that anyone trying Bohs on a Friday night  would experience anything other than a warm welcome.

They would get a warm welcome anywhere. The idea that a first timer got 'barstooler' chanted at them is so ludicrous it's untrue. The ***t needs banning off this section

I'm actually not sure whether to post this or not in case it's the best fishing rod thread on here in years...but here goes.....Horsey, we went to the Rovers game against Copenhagen, complete newcomers to Tallaght (home section for me) biggest game they had in years. None of us cheering Rovers as such although it was a European game and we wanted them to win. Nobody said a word to us. ( cheers Gerk for the tickets). Fast forward a few years, I went with walls and trapped to Bohs v drogs a couple of weeks ago......not a word said to me although I haven't been in dalyer since mons did Bohs 2-1. I'm going to Bohs v rovers tomorrow night with trapped..and I guarantee nothing will be said to me.i really call bullsh*t or at least exaggeration

RTID I really hope your mates call you Krusty, because you really are a clown.

Maybe you should take some time out and reflect on your own posts.
Every week somebody is pulling you up on something.

Your an absolute bluffer of the highest order.

Just to clarify nobody chanted this at me. See below. I'm not basing my opinions on one match either.

Let me clarify -
Some clown standing beside me spent about 5 minutes just shouting barstooler at the opposite stand . It was not directed at my but I was standing beside him going is he for real?

I came in to this section out of boredom to provoke a reaction and I got one

Because I knew the LOI supporters would be out with their 'chip on shoulder' attitude.

You do it on a regular basis so get off your high horse.

It's a public forum where people express their opinion, I expressed mine and I stand by my comments.

Get along to Dalymount tonight Opening Poster.  Massive gave against Shamrock Rovers.  Huge game for Bohs.  Struggling against relegation.   

It says a lot about our terrible season that the highlight so far has been the last minute goal out in Tallaght.  

Defeat tonight and I fear we are doomed, but if we win, who knows.

Can't remember the last time we scored more than 1 at Dalymount in a match, so we're due a) more than one goal b) a win in Dalyer and c) a performance to be proud of.
 
Scoreless draw so. LOL
