Sounds like a plan to me. I don't see many Man Utd supporters during our LYN Futsal sessions though.

Jonno is right about MyRAWK. It took us a couple of years to get it started. You do need a few core members that are committed though. For that I applaud my fellow committee members like JonC, Zypher, Monstar, TheAlbertus and Mr. President, Jonno. Can't not mentioned the consistent support from posters like Flix, Popsoul, Lolhalol, Pandazhun, Lilredridinghood and RedShaun. Was good to finally meet easypeasy in the flesh as well when he came back from the UK. I'm sure a couple of the others attended as well but then ones I mentioned come consistently. It's not easy but for the game against the mancs we managed to attract 130 viewers. Not bad considering we've just begun organising viewings this season after our old place shut down  sad.gif

I'm not bragging here but mainly pointing out to other fans that if you really want to watch matches with your fellow fans and can't find a place, perhaps you should start your own viewing group. It's a lot of work, but it's well worth it smile.gif

Looks like it is getting out of hand here. -Y- & shah_ho_nam, I think you guys are taking things a little too personal here. The thing with football lounge is that you have to come in and show your worth and then respect will be given to you. There's no point going around asking others to respect you while mouthing off childish retorts and at the same time taking the arguement to a personal level. It is uncalled for, to bring out other things than football to mock or argue about. It has nothing to do with race, education, income level, even gender. As long as you know your football and can back up what you say, people will listen to you here.

Clearly many of us cannot understand how can a person who'd support 2 clubs wholeheartedly, perhaps we can't do it, you can and good for you, the thing is that you haven't backed it up with proper arguement rather than the respect other's opinion rants. I would suggest that both of you take a bit of a break, think about what are you going to write and back it up properly, who knows if you talk a good game, you might even gain the respect here, rather than being the joke that is at the moment.

Many of us would only support a club and not look at another club in even another league, we might admire the way another team plays or  another player that is good, but everytime they play my team, I'd want them to lose and get slaughtered. Appreciating good football and admiring other team is slightly different from suporting both teams. I thought you guys were clouded between the two but I was clearly wrong, you DO support both teams, or 3 teams. With a common theme in it, Gabriel Batistuta for -Y-. Perhaps you like the player more than the team, therefore you'd like the team to do well too, I don't know I am just speculating here.

For you info, Gabriel Batistuta is one of the players I have a lot of respect for, who stuck by Fiorentina even when they got relegated to Serie B, for someone like him, it's not hard to find another team who'd take him in a flash, his love for the team and the fans is too great to walk away. Even when he left for Roma, he told the team that he would like to win the league and if the team had the chances to, he would stay and fight for it, but they weren't in that position and the fans actually cheered him on and wished he'd win the league with Roma. His status as a Fiorentina legend were cemented when he scored the only goal in one of the games against Fiorentina that season and refused to celebrate, instead he walked back to the centre circle, with tears in his eyes, very clearly to be seen by all in the ground and around the world watching on TV. I have outmost respect for players like that. Another one is Dennis Law who scored the goal to relegate Man U whole playing for Man City and had tears in his eyes while doing so. That doesn't mean I support Man U or Man City, I admire them certain qualities in the team, player or success on the pitch. I hope you get my drift and not launch into one of your now infamous rants that is, quite frankly, a little hard to understand.

Please understand I am not trying to rile you up or anything, just trying to get a better perspective of the whole situation and hopefully get a proper reply and reasoning from you rather than shooting your mouth off pissing a lot of people off. Unless that is the original intention of yours, then I suggest you reconsider coming into this place as not to disturb the others. If your intention is to discuss and argue about football, trust me, air_mood and I had countless arguements about all things football, then you are welcomed here with open arms, as long as you back your arguements up with proper facts and thoughts.

NOt really 8 paragraph, but I think that'll do for now...  icon_rolleyes.gif
