rocket-fuel Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Do you like other Aberdeen fans? GREAT question. Sorry. The answer for me is unbecoming as yet, but a GREAT question. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Do you like other Aberdeen fans? Yes. I do dislike some too. Quote
rocket-fuel Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 As time goes by, my tendency has been to "like" less and less people - "ever decreasing circles", as once described. However, the nearer to death one gets, and I am definitely over 50% of life, one tends to see the total negs more instantly, but finds more positives in the floating populace. When it comes to folk in red scarves, or folk in the away end at away games, I love them all, just for being on "the same side". Chances are, if I knew them better, I would find a proportion of fudsters and fudsticks that I find in the general population, although I suspect the proportion would be less. There is no rational reason why Aberdeen fans should be more likeable or dislikeable to me than the general pop, but I know it would be a favourable representation. This is because the majority are from the NE, an area of unique parochialism and bigotry, a brand of sickness I understand and am amused by. Quote
Goldie03 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 I've supported Aberdeen for over 28 years and for the first 25 I only knew a handful of dons fans Now I know lots - most I like - some a lot - a couple I can't stand and a few I love Stand Free Quote
willie_millers-barmyarmy Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 most definately there is a massive unlikeable element!!! The i've paid my money, im gonna pick on our own players crew!!!.......Even before a game starts you know who there victims will be, and no matter how badly someone else plays, they will escape criticism!!! its actually ludicrous, and pisses me off no end!!!!! Remember one game in particular, in the south stand, where a group of about 10 idiots gave dempsey dogs abuse from the first whistle.....annoyingly so...even wen he wasnt involved in the play, they were like "look look, look at dempsey, hes hiding behind the ref man" twats!!.... no wonder certain players show promise then fade away..... confidence is a massive thing in football!!! i'd say theres alot of knowledgable supporters too tho, just like every club i suppose!!! ....

tom_widdows Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Citylink bus to the 2000 scottish cup final Biggest priks I have ever had to suffer. Even the Hun who pulled a knife on me on king Street was better than these twats. Was very chuffed to see about 6 of them with various head injuries, black eyes etc on the return journey having apprently been beaten up by the cops. Those of us without injuries were labelled as cunts because we never 'got stuck in'. Have met various other 'unfriendly' types at various away games (some from this website) in the last few years but im not exactly the most popular person on the planet and id rather not speak to them either so its a fair arrangement.

Ajja Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 I have empathy towards almost all Dons fans. I share a common goal with them and that provides me with some sense of togetherness and belonging. However, in making an assessment of whether I like a person the team they support would never make the list of decision making criteria (dislike on the other hand would be a different matter ). I might be inclined to give a member of the population I like to call human wreckage a little more space to make an impact if he pledged faith to all things red but if he/she turned out to be a cunt then their support of Aberdeen would not sway me back. Hope that makes sense Quote
rocket-fuel Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 I was aiming my comments at the many who showed their face in the squares of Madrid & Munich... wannabe show ponies... the life's of the party... glory hunters... reasons to stay in secluded bars with friends while the carnage ensued. Yer right we're bigots... That's just part of looking down on our fellow Dandies and believing we are, surely, better. Sheepshagging bastards! edit - Yes, Hebrew - STAND FREE! Deliberately avoided Madrid and Munich - reverse glory-hunting? / inevitable non-glory-avoidance?, whatever - but heard how bad it was. I will never return to see Scotland after the Dam when we got humped 6-0. The majority of Scots "fans" - the famous tartan army - were complete embarrassments. Quote
rocket-fuel Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 is this what ye meant? If not, it's what I meant Errrmmm... I think so. Quote
ntbear Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Most that have access to the internet seem to be complete fuds. Quote
quirie Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 Im friends with a few aberdeen fans but the majority of my mates are fans of the gruesome twosome Quote
rocket-fuel Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ agreed Don't be too hard on yourselves. Love thyself. No other fucker will if you don't do it first. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 is this what ye meant? If not, it's what I meant I avoided going to Madrid in particular cos I love the place and not wanting to sound "up myself", I knew what sort of carnage there'd be. And it would have disappointed me greatly. And I also knew we'd get pumped! Quote
RDU_64 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Because I don't know them - I imagine that they all dwell in the RDS, probably the RDU, and have spikey haircuts and drink alcopops. As a season ticket holder in the RDU, I don't enjoy this stigma attached to the RDU! The majority of Dons fans, even though I don't know them, I don't mind them as we all share a common goal. Red Ultras not included. Arseholes. Quote
rocket-fuel Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 I f*cking love you all Ah, but do you? Or are you just saying it? Slut. Quote
??? Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Ah, but do you? Or are you just saying it? Slut. Yes, I really mean it. You're like family to me. Quote
Jute Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 No I hate you all unless you are buying me beer in which case I will tolerate your existence until you run out of cash to buy me beer. Quote
kelt Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 If you're introduced to me or my company I'm going to be friendly from the get go. I've never been one to be negative towards any other human being that I'm meeting for the first time. If it turns out I don't like you I just won't bother with you again. I've no time for this 'stalking' shit that other people do with folks they don't like. Quote
tlg1903 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 i think what i like about football is its ability to bring all walks of life together. Indeed being a football fan is very compareable to being religous in that all members congregate weekly for worship in the same place, sing songs together, hope for the same overall goal and intensly dislike those that worship at different churches. Thing is just because 2 people have an common interest doesnt mean they are going to get on, if you compare to religion again a lot of proddies think ian paisley is a total cunt. as such i have to say that at least half the aberdeen fans i have met are pricks, the other half go from dull to sound on an decreasing scale Quote
Guest leith_red Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 No I hate you all unless you are buying me gay pink cider in which case I will tolerate your existence until you run of cash to buy me gay pink cider. Quote
