No condolences required, we all have our reasons & just because my differs from yours doesn't make it wrong.
Sorry condolences was the wrong word. I meant I felt bad for you that for the first 30 years of your life you didnt have an Australian football club to support.. I was born into an Australian club .. what league structure we play in is irrelevant to my support.
No, but that actually happens more than you think in Scotland , although, not out of a newspaper, as we have progressed past that.
fair enough then....
It burns doesn't it?" Australian club "
Au Contraire, it's hilarious!
Yes it was sad that I just didn't find a club that suited me, hence thanks for Sydney FC (despite being shit this year). Didn't stop me from going to games or to follow Australian Football, but sadly no team did it for me.
sorry people not thread specific but wondering robbos.
yes grew up away from these areas, away from realm. Mainly only Portuguese I met were family, sometimes met his cronies, but from young age I wanted to be an Aussie. Maybe this shaped me. I'd heard all the stories of Eusebio but loved Johnny Warren more.sorry people not thread specific but wondering robbos.
Obviously depending where you grew up way back in our young days our migrant parents.
Portugese background many many of them resided inner burbs, Petersham/Enmore/Marrickville and eastern burbs.
Didn't the ol man know fellow portugese - many would have got behind Fraser Park to this day, started early '60's then set up at the railway ground Marrickville.
Too funny I'm even a Madeira Club member.
Maybe you guys grew up away from that realm, mind you so did my fam re the Italians.
Manly Manly Manly
Sure mate, you've made that abundantly clear.... we all are products of our upbringing...
Sorry mate that statement is what I dislike more than anything.... Are you implying that those of us who DID associate with our parents communities DIDN'T want to be Aussies?
That is very apparent in Sydney.
What a sad place then....
No not at all & even if they did as many did, I have no issues.
I don’t agree with Sutho’s comment whatsoever but hey that’s coming from his pov.
I do follow Manly in the NPL.Haha cr7, yer id be right behind following up kicking him
Yes I hear you from where we live - same since a bub as well.
I’m still an Aussie through and through mind you following Aussie APIA club and next level Aussie SU.
Same applied when bloody Lucas got sucker punched by Grosso gaining that pen against us - I’m Aussie.
Your a very rare neutral not finding a local club (beach’s) to regularly keep an eye on and follow…….plenty Aussie clubs.
I have a lot of interest in Manly in the npl for yonks and now Spirit seeing they are up there.
