just extending from Duke Red's thread on how to become a 'real' fan, so was wondering what was the most extreme thing that all of you will do(or did) to show your support for the club you love?

this can include tattoo lah, buying only Original Merchandise lah, selling kidney to get money to go to stadium lah...ok not selling kidney, but maybe selling some other stuff lor...

if i have a lot of money..i'll buy the club and give free seats to all supporters
ahahahahaha
only and if only i'm richer than chelski empire

didnt go to exam just to watch the game.haha.
nvr miss a single match since 2001-2002(live telecast la)

Just to add, why don't we be realistic here. I could go on to say I'll buy nuclear warheads and launch them at stadiums of rival clubs but that's just nonsensical. Let's keep it real mates.

haha,true2.

1. My jersey collection
2. In the 90's, there is no shop in Ipoh that can do EPL shirt printing for jerseys. I took a bus from Ipoh to KL. Walked to BB Plaza, went to al-ikhsan and got my jersey printed. Then walked back to pudu, took a bus from KL to Ipoh. All in one day.
3. Sneaked my mates to watch 1999 UEFA Champions League finals in my living room at 3.00am while my parents are asleep.
4. I am also an avid Manchester United magazine collector. Bought United Magazine almost every month since 1995.
5. Once decorated my old bedroom with MU posters (from the Magazines I bought) on every wall (and ceiling) and pissed my mum for that.
6. Took a challenge from my Liverpool fan mate to wear my Schmeichel goalkeeper kit with goalkeeper shorts and socks and wore it to Ipoh Parade.
7. Took a bus from Ipoh to KL, then a cab to watch United vs Selangor at Shah Alam Stadium in 1995 and slept at a surau before I took another bus back to Ipoh.
8. Wore my United jersey to weddings and official events
9. I used to like to go mamak stalls or restaurants with big screen and wear my United jersey while watching anyone vs Arsenal (just to wind up Arsenal fans) during the Treble Season. But since got astro at home.. a bit lazy now.
10. My final act is one day to fly to Old Trafford to watch my beloved Red Devils. Not sure when I can achieve that.

Here's mine

Not extreme at all: I went to Anfield alone, not knowing where it is and how to get there. Luckily found a Liverpool supporter on the bus to Liverpool, so then it became easy.

Nearly 1% extreme: I'm going to the CL semi next week despite having to do my revisions for my summer exams. Mind you I've studied very little by the time of posting

100% Extreme: Going to Athens, if Liverpool get to the finals eventhough I'm in the middle of the exam period. But I won't go. Too much risk and the trip will be very expensive.

You got bloody tickets or you relying on the touts? Or you just going to be at the Albert or someplace close? Darn... it's going to be a blast.

Drink only Carlsberg and refused other beers.....

Guess which team I support??? No prize for the answer....

I am guaranteed the tickets for the semifinal but not knowing where I'll be seating. I'm gonna sort it out tomorrow as the ticket sales start tomorrow. I've got all home CL matches on my fancard including the qualifiers so CL won't be a problem for me to get tickets. On the other hand the Premiership is difficult to get one.

Buying from touts is the easy way to get a ticket but you have to prepare a lot of money for it. A friend of mine sometimes bought tickets from touts, surprisingly it can be cheaper than the face value.

Well bring a camera and take some pictures for us. If you can take a vid cam with you man. I want to hear The Kop roar when we win I still remember watching The Kop roar the last time we beat them in the Champions League semis. Think you can get if off youtube. Definition of "a wall of sound".

i bet everything in my wallet

sell piratez jersey of team tat u support...priceless

when playing football or futsal with frens/friendly with ppl i dunno, kenakan those ppl that wearing rival's jersey

still aiming for ppl wearing italy jersey coz italy send germany out of world cup!

But a rm250 jersey?

betting does drastically increase the fun of the matches.

watching football match at well known opponent's place. scream and jumping when my team scored against them. 'kutuk' opponent's player when they did a foul or something stupid.

walked 3km at 3am to a nearby mamak to catch MU vs Ac Milan 2 seasons ago

edit: sorry should'nt say nearby

here's one. me n me mates were at the mamak for CL final where we won it **** and * times!..oh, anyway, when we were down by 3, i got so angry i smack the chair so hard it broke ( due to some lalang milan fans, chanting "alaaa, tak fight pon") after we won it...i pretty much went looking for them (repeat). them got lost. i lost my mind

erm...other than that, FA cup final, where we tease west ham and other "lalang" fans out loud, till the inter city firmers, well, lets just say i can see tears in their eye.

and erm, the latest was...liverpool v united. i got so pissed of by one fans' celebration, i pretty much scolded him for celebrating - till the chair he was sitting hit my knee hard while him jumping and stuff (i kept my kop identity hidden). senseless...things i do.

Am i qualified to be a Kop? hahahaha!

Err dude, doesn't beating up other fans for celebrating make you a sore loser? I mean you'd celebrate if we won the Champions League again, won't you?

Well maybe it's the manner of the celebration but sometimes you just have to learn to take it all in. I have no issues with the manner people celebrate, just as long as I know they aren't glory hunters.

well actually not a sore loser to say. i was just annoyed the fact that he didnt actually look how small the space it was. i was with a bunch of mancs FRIENDS FYI.

i'd celebrate anything to do with liverpool mr. duke...and no, i dont beat people up. i'm an arguing type of a person, if u get me wrong at that, its all love.

if provoked at, wont you react too? telling stories like this, yea, people can say "urgh, relax dude", but understand is not the same as feelin it...being there, at least.

last but not least, to clear things a bit, when you say, learn to take it all in? i've been around with a handful of friends who are united fans for some time, and yes i do know how to take it all in..

its all love people. peace

I usually watch matches in pro Liverpool pubs. On a couple of occasions though I have watched games at Modesto's (Chelsea supporters club, and we were playing Chelsea) and Legends Bar (with a group of mancs, most of whom I did not know), so I know what it's like to be in a 'hostile' environment, it sucks to lose. It does get to me seeing their smug faces all filled with joy but that's part of being a fan eh? As I've mentioned, it's when I see glory hunting gloating that makes me sick to the stomach.

exactly muh man. exactly!

Most extreme for me was... If Chelsea lose that night, i will pay our(friends n me) table's bill and the next 2 tables beside!(didnt even know them lol)

then chelsea had lost...i rili paid the 3 tables ....heart really broken lol...lucky at mamak... also wallet broken lol...rm38 total haha...=.=!

THIS DOES NOT RELY HELP YOUR CLUB...HEHE...

1. Leave my university exam early so that i can book a good spot for the open top bus parade. (The year we won the Treble)

2. Have to resit my exam since i was caught keeping a newspaper under my desk during the exam. The story is that to get a special Treble poster we have to collect the newspaper cutting from Monday till Friday. Bought the paper before my exam and somehow I scared someone steal my paper so I reluctant to put my stuff in front of the exam hall (My mindset is that the Daily Mirror will be sold out by the time my exam finished). To cut the story short, they thought I want to cheat since I have my study notes in the newspaper (which I totally forget).

3. Spend over the top ticket prices since I bought from the touts.

4. My first paycheck, buy TV and subscribe Astro in my room. My parents are old school don't believe in entertainment (before this we only have a 14" non-remote TV).

5. My first date with my wife, after shopping at Mid Valley, we watch Man Utd vs Liverpool at the sports cafe. Lost 3-1, and was told that this place is a hangout for mostly Liverpool fan (donno true or not)

6. Convincing my wife that we should go to UK on our honeymoon and brought her to watch a home game (against Fulham) won 1-0

watch football match....














NAKED!!!!...














in my house...

If i had lots of money i would travel every week to england to watch liverpool play...hehe...an only buy original jersey..haha..i know that is not extreme..but its kinda realistic..hehehe..

Spray my car in the colours of Madrid, if I had the money...

I think somebody else had that idea already, the president of the Arsenal fan club in Malaysia? He sprayed his car in red, plus an Arsenal badge on the front hood...

Added on April 26, 2007, 7:39 pmI thought this was a decent reply so will do up mine similar to this. Hope you don't mind schmeichel7!

1. My jersey collection too - had every Chelsea shirt since 91-93 including a few GK shirts.

2. My room is now full of Chelsea memoribilia, incl flags, pennants, Corinthians figures etc. Also, bought every single issue of Chelsea Magazine ever since local mag stores stock it.

3. Flew over to UK with Chelsea Supporter's Club Malaysia Branch in 2005 to see Chelsea being crowned Premiership champions during our last game at home that season. Had to sit with the away fans (aka Charlton) as we were handed away tickets by the organiser, imagine that! And spent every single day going to the Megastore FIRST before doing anything else in London...

i dunno if this is call tru fan or not but when i was in London i spent 11 pounds just to watch the liverpool vs olympiakos(not sure if spelled correctly) game in a hotel (If go to pubs down the street very creepy lo)! well call me dumb but i guess its the only way not to get kicked out of the hotel

I got a tatoo on myself..
Can call me Crazy..
But im crazy bout Liverpool..
Hailz the ReDs!!!!

Ah and old thread revived. I've got another example. How about getting together with a bunch of friends to start your own community ---->http://my-rawk.com/

Extreme thing?
- arguing with a retard in this forum, but he replied me by calling me back as a retard. That was the most extreme thing i did: letting a retard calling me a retard.

take off my Barca jersey then standing on the chair and waving the red blue jersey and sing Glory Glory Man United in front of >100 MU fan after Messi score 2nd goal in Rome

Wouldn't it be more tasteful if you learned a Barca song and sang that instead?

Exactly. I wouldnt be angry if he did that in frnt of me, id call him weirdo instead

i know El Cant Del Barca (official song) and call me weirdo or whatever, i doing that for revenge (1-0 Scholes) and before the match all MU fan keep saying they will win 3-0@4-0 (i mean they put Barca one level below their team) and when it begin they keep singing "Glory Glory Man United" especially when Ronaldo`s early freekick and Park`s effort

p/s: i just clapping hand and screaming Goall when Iniesta`s magical moment at Bridge

extreme thing...hurm

1. open up www.fcbarcelona.my
2. gather barca community
3. start selling few thing related with 'malaysia' barca ..e.g car sticker, collar t shirt, round neck shirt (all made by forum members..and no profit)
4. organizing futsal friendly with other fan club (juve, milan) and join tournament (supporters club cup). and few friendly in-waiting after raya
5. progressing set up other futsal team from each region (northern,southern,eastern,central and borneo)
6. get togather2 with small xtvt - teh tarik session
7. and so on


not so extreme i guess

wanna post to..

argue with my relatives during hari raya time, my saudara-mara got so many girls around then they conquer the tv. before the match i hide the remote control first and pretend like nothing happen..

my not so extreme

Wah...you willing to go back and forth ipoh-kl and patch your jersey...

Cool that you took your friend's challenge too...


Even your date and honeymoon involves the team hehe nice

I can understand the sheer ecstacy mate. I don't particularly fancy goading myself. I'd much rather channel by joy and jubilation at my team. It's just my opinion but I think it's classier to celebrate and not resort to mocking opponents even if they mocked us first. I think it's showing that you are a step above in that sense. My 2 cents

Haha Nice 1.. Man U Supporters thinks tht they are the only strongest team in the world..
LamE!!!

Maybe there are some but not all(Term one of the strongest is more accurate ). Btw, you're already out of topic...trying to create a flame war here ady

Anyway, I find this interesting..must be some hardcore manutd fan

you're out of the line..
this topic title is "EXTREME THING YOU EVER DID/WILL DO FOR YR CLUB"
and not "who's the better team"..

This post has been edited by choy89: Sep 25 2009, 11:02 AM

I stayed up and finished watching the game after we were 3-0 down in Istanbul 2005

This should be posted in RedCafe. Very nice and very creative.

Hmm... The Arsenal version would be a white having the hood, roof and boot in red, while the either sides in white... I'm hardcore, but I think not so extreme.

But I did do the honeymoon to UK and watch a game thing

Some bloke that came to one of our viewings in a red Kenari has a large Liverbird emblazoned at the side of the car. Didn't take a picture though.

Real respect however should be given to those who dig into their life savings to follow their clubs especially in Europe. I once saw the story of a cabbie in Liverpool who spends his life savings on travelling Europe with the club. This it was in the "Road to Istanbul" DVD. I've a friend who bought his ticket to Istanbul during the Quarter-Final stage of the tournament, hoping that Liverpool would make is there with him. I mean it's easy for us to say that we'll save up to go to our respective meccas one day but how many actually do it? How many would forgoe buying a house or a car to visit their clubs first? How many would use up all the money they've saved for a trip there? I can't safely say I would. Thankfully my trip was free, otherwise I'd probably still not have gone.

The guy in the red Kenari with Liverbird is JonC is it?

I'm a huge fan of Arsenal, but not huge enough to throw my savings just to watch a game of football, over say, buying a new car or house. Well in life there's just too many uncertainties. One day you might need the money for your old parents medical or some shit happens you suddently regretted the decision not to save up earlier. I had the chance to visit my holy grail of Emirates Stadium this year and was planning for a good 2 years prior to 2009 but when i changed job late last year and looking at the financial turmoil, i postponed it indefinitely. Looking back now, i didnt regret the decision to hold back as true enough, i went thru a massive slash in my pay packet and im just happy to ride thru this storm now.

So guys, just don't go overkill with your football fanatism and save up for a better future.(I sound like a politician now..damn)

Nah it belonged to some other dude. JonC's ride is a little more subtle than his.

Exactly mate, practicality comes into play. It comes back again to my point that fans here can be a little too defensive. I can understand why fans in the UK hate one another with passion. It's because logic seldom comes into play when it comes to spending on/for their team. "Forget about whether or not we can afford a house, we simply must go to Instanbul!". While I don't aspire to lose all common sense, I admire their passion and dedication. Once again, it's like I've always said. I'm a fan of our fans.

do whatever you want to do to show your love for your club
but please don't hurt,kill other even kill yourself
seriously i hate this thing, really feel sad when heard fan A kill/hurt fan B or fan A hang his body just bcos club A lost, luckily our country still ok, just couple case like fan A burn police track and fan B stub fan C after final match should not happen again, let make football is love just like Iran-USA 98 and South Korea-North Korea done

haha that's a funny one. have to try that some time! oohh yes hari raya time the girls will demand their raya special programmes!
outnumbered ten to one, and most of the time we have to reluctantly surrender (remote)control.

don't u think the action you have done is too over?
this is the reason why fighting began, indirectly/directly mocking is the main reason of fighting each other, count yourself lucky cause u are not in England

just my thoughts, a simple shouting and running naked after celebrating after the team score is ok

i don't think it too over, there is more over action come from that team
ok i get it, in Malaysia it too over when non-Man U fan done it

no, but you might end up getting bash up by the 100 MU fan, and then the barca fan will fight back, and then whole area get tangkap police stay in jail for 1 nite.

But before the barca fan could act, u already got bashed up and probably in the hospital for a serious injury

no worry about that, i watch it in Kota Bharu where police really scare to catch football fan
btw Barca fan at that night is more than MU fan (thank to Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal who come and cheer Barca)

but then, u might also get bash up. okay imagine this, Barcelona is losing 1-0 to Real Madrid and Ronaldo scored another goal to extend the lead to 2-0. A fan of Real Madrid stand up on the chair shouting real madrid and singing some sort of songs that goes "barcelona suck " right in front of u. If u are a die hard fan of Barcelona, ur emotion will outstand ur mind and u will whack that guy. But if u are not a die hard fan of Barcelona, than u probably wont waste time celebrating in front of MU fans on a game that is already won.

Added on September 26, 2009, 8:32 pmbtw faris, u mentioned there are more over things done by MU, can give me some example? I want go mamak do tonite haha

This post has been edited by IcyDarling: Sep 26 2009, 08:32 PM

i am not siding with my favourite team, i'm talking about fact, please think twice for any action u have done, some others people would not accept your action and getting furious over it, and then shit happen

just like Adebayor running 90 yards over the Arsenal supporter side and celebrate it, do u know those supporter could run down in group and beat him up and possibility he will be end up in hospital with serious injury?

it already happen before when Madrid win 4-1 couple season ago, whack people is not my option, as i post before i hate fan hurt, killing just for football, even i done weird celebration there is nothing happen here, we always done this , watching and bashing boooedd opponent then back home with peace

just a question, do we need whack opponent to be die hard fan?

not so extreme but i used to throw in front of brazil's fan their jersey in to a trash bin...that i bought earlier the day....and i'm wore the germany outfit...

happened FIFA World Cup final....Germany vs Brazil....I did it after Germany lost the game....

Saveral Brazil's fan chased me....and I of cuz run...hahahahha

its not what u can control bro. People dont just whack people around for their clubs. I mentioned in my earlier post, ur mind gets carried away by ur emotion and when emotion takes control, its not what u can control anymore.

btw, "more over things done by MU"??

as an arsenal fan i would buy a place at the highbury square, next to robert pires's place. hahahahahah

buy an executive box at the emirates too or even better buy a place in the duguot next to wenger

that would be awesome ! :D:D:D

Theres a major difference between being passionate and being stupid. I still remember watching the UCL final against Chelsea at Souled Out two years back and got goaded by the Chelsea fans seated in the table in front (or ABU's, can't tell the diff... came supporting the team in blue decked in normal t shirts and boo-ed the one in rerd more than cheering the one they claim to support) so many times it was unbearable. The early misses, the Chelsea domination in the 2nd half, the Ronaldo peno miss... You should see the things some said about United, one guy even telling his friends that Ronaldo's mum didn't give him a bj in the morn. I mean, wtf? The cheers followed by the silence from their table after Terry stepped up for his pk was priceless in itself, and when Anelka's got saved, I got delirious, was on my knees grasping my face for abit, and then just proceeded to smile at their direction. Needless to say their expression was hilarious and they left seconds later.

or u can try spending all the money u have to buy a seat beside arsene wenger and train WITH arsenal players haha

Class, my lifelong dream is to retire in Manchester, somewhere thats within walking distance to Old Trafford. With a season ticket, and if possible (financially of coz) seated with the Singhs near Fergie. Those bunch are funny as heck.

there worst even happen to me was he (some human who wear MU jersey) throw his teh tarik to the air when Scholes score in semi final couple year ago and all people including my RM250 yellow barca jersey basah kuyup, the stupid thing is he run away

his cup of teh tarik very big ? Coz if u throw it up it will scatter, and maybe each get 2 or 3 drips la...
anymore more extreme one? Coz my mamak the teh tarik very small cup only, if throw up like a little waste of money

You know this is something i find weird. I can never understand the fans over in Msia supporting Brazil or France or Holland or Germany. If you ever ask me which national team i support, Malaysia is the only country i would utter out. And yeah, lets not get started with the quality of football they play but bottom point is, won't it be weird if say a bunch of local French guys in France wearing Malaysia jersey jumping and shouting when Malaysia score a goal.

I'm attached to football club, not national team so naturally i don't jump and cheer when i watch national teams play. It amazes me seeing some people saying they're die hard fans of England. Shouldn't we like support our own country?

Oh well, off topic reply.




Hahaha, this is probably the post of the day. I dont normally watch Man Utd games but i happen to notice the Singhs during the MU-MC game. Are they regular season ticket holders?

If you watch enuff United games you'll notice that they're regulars and they get a fair share of camera time thx to them being so close to the dugout. And their expressions are hilarious to watch, especially when they're taking the mickey out of the opposition manager.

Only flaw in my plan though is that for me to realise my dream of sitting near Fergie I'll either have to retire real early or Fergie will be long into triple digits. Long may he live!

Same here mate. I mean supporting a club is one thing because there are certain values associated to clubs, a sense of identity. I personally don't get the strong emotional attachment some seem to hav with other national teams. I mean I watch the World Cup and I have my favourites, to be more specific teams with Liverpool players in them, but short of feeling sorry for the said player if they lose, I won't cry myself to sleep feeling sorry for the team.

On the issue of having dreams of staying in Liverpool or whatever, I had them as well. Thing is I don't plan to live there. The funny thing though about dreams is that because they don't appear real, we seldom do anything to realise them. We just wait and hope. What's more important than having them is to work towards realising them.

lol...respect

The same could be said for Gary Neville who has been embroiled in goading incidences twice, most recently being against Man City. Mourinho did the same at Anfield. It's easy to lose self control in such emotionally charged situations. Same goes for being a fan. Everyone has their limits and as tame as an individual may be, he'll lose all sense of logic and control at some point if pushed far enough. I can't say I don't get angry when I see rival fans taking the piss which is why I do my best to watch Liverpool games in the presence of only Liverpool fans. While acting out of emotion should not be condoned, I think it can be expected.

you must be born in germany...
