This is the essence of the thing.
You have to wonder if the people in charge of stuff like this are even football fans.
An Aberdeen fan for life of course but if you lived in a different city, in a different country, with no ties at all to home, you would like to think that you could choose a team to watch.
What's the chances you would pick a team wearing blue?
Would I pick Lasio over Roma? nah
I tried to watch Ferencvaros regularly, Green and White ( some fans even wearing Celtic jerseys) I couldn't do it.
I'd a German girlfriend once, therefore my German team is Shalke 04
I'm pretty sure I'd have made an effort to go and see them if they hadn't worn blue.
Don't bother telling me to grow up, I have to be grown up about lots of things, I've no intention of being grown up about football.
Setting myself up there, I understand, but so what, the thought of being in the pub before a big match along with Dons fans wearing blue makes me want to puke.
