And you would know that how exactly?

And I've supported Hibs since being seven years old when I went to Easter Road on a family trip, and as I've seen the sum total of two trophies and one relegation during that time, I don't think I could quite be classified as a glory hunter.

Ignore him, he has enough troubles as it is supporting Wire.

You were slating people watching United who aren't form there though? Double standards eh!

Inverness Cally Thistle are my Scottish side as they were the nearest Pro club to where my Dad used to work.

Erm, not quite - I was criticising the ones who think they're the greatest fan in the world because they have the new shirt and watch them almost every week in the pub. As I've mentioned in other threads, I've nothing against match-attending Reds (other than those with the superiority complex), and for your information, no I haven't been to a Hibs game this year (shame really as I usually attend around six per season) but that's what happens when you actually have a life and have children. You might find out one day.

You had a pop at people not supporting their local teams?

To be fair - he is a Bolton and Leigh RMI fan first and foremost.

Everyone follows teams in different leagues.

I can't believe I'm continuing to bite, but aside from supporting Hibs, I support Leigh RMI (and by support, I mean attend 95% of games regardless of times and distance), run their website, write match reports and news articles for four separate publications, spend god knows how many hours a month attending meetings and the like and, guess what? I live 0.3 miles from the ground. So I don't think I can be criticised for failing to support my local team, somehow.

I know and I'm sure he's pretty commited, I dont give a poop who he supports just trying to work things out using his logic.
