I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. Although I believe in only supporting one club like some here, I do see where -Y- and shah are coming from. The arguments are between 2 different sets of viewpoints; both think they're right. And the thing is they are both right, depending on where u stand. We all have differences and we have to accept that. And u can't blame them for taking it personally when the language used by air_mood has been far from accomodating. It's the same with religion; alot of the strife we have in the world today is the result of inability to accept each other's differences. So i suggest everyone to just calm down and take a step back. Just hold back on the insults.

Totally agree with verx here. Personally I understand that someone supports loads of teams. Maybe each team in major leagues so that it becomes more interesting for them to follow the league. I believe it starts due to strong language by both Jonno & air_mood.
Both school of thoughts cannot/won't understand or accept the points of others.

a real fan respect & admire the achievement & history of the club, more importantly behaves appropriately to uphold your club integrity.
After Hillsborough, it brought all the Reds around the world more "togetherness". We win as Reds, we lose as Reds. It's been a long exhausting wait but we'll hold on to our dreams as we know for a fact that We'll Never Walk Alone"

BTW am proud that unlike fans of the other, we in Reds Thread seldom put in signature to degrade rival. I mean why don't you put in something to uphold your believe in your club?

No offence, but your signature itself is subtly degrading Everton biggrin.gif

I agree that a real fan behaves appropriately to protect the name of the club, and that includes treating rival fans with respect and well manners. Taunting or even cursing rival teams in front of rival fans with the excuse of "protecting one's club" is not acceptable.

It's not degrading them but rather the believe in my team. Furthermore it's a quote by Shankly which I agrees & believe in.
Toffees are still a team in Merseyside albeit an ordinary team like Tranmere Rovers.

Isn't it normal that fans will diss the players of other teams? I do respect Gerrard, for example, and I think Liverpool can't be anywhere they are at the moment without him. But I diss him not because I hate him, it's just that he's good and created so much problem when Man Utd met Liverpool at Anfield. It's sort of a complimentary diss, sort to speak  tongue.gif

I would prefer to call it banter. It's ok if there is banter around as most agrees, but in regard of the signature, just wonder why some like to put down others rather than promote their own team? Is it because it's their nature? rolleyes.gif
I mean you don't see us create signature about Man U rite, rather we put in quote from players/managers alike about our own team not rival teams.

Bullshit
No offence but you really believe liverpool reserves are better than Everton ?

The phrase is more towards my hope & believe that the ressie will be better than Toffees. Even if the ressie is not great, neither is toffees.

QUOTE(Belphegor @ Jan 30 2008, 12:28 AM)
But your siggy doesn't seem to earn any respect at all. Everton not considered a good team? Their standard like Tranmare Rovers? Please mind that Evertonian is on 4th where as Liverpool at 6th spot. At least show some respect to other club. Even I'm a Chelsea fan, I don't say or make something to humiliate the rival team of my favourite team.
Then what are you?

I'm not picking on you just because you support Liverpool and I support Chelsea. Is plainly because your siggy is very offensive for those who are Evertonian. Is such a shame when you tried to compare a team in Premier League with some lower division team. At least show some respect..

I you read carefully I already stated to Starghazzer that it is my hope & believe or rather you would call it wishful thinking.
On the Tranmere thing, its because they are the only team in Merseyside other than Reds & Toffees hence just a figure of speech neither did I compare them. Well I didn't say that they are not good, that is your words. I said rather it just another club (in another word 'ordinary' as is Tranmere) to me.
I would like to intepret my siggy as I explained but you chose to interpret it as offensive.
For you info, even if Toffees wins 10 ECL, I would consider it just an ordinary club.
