    Football fan.

    But not all football, just Scottish, English, Spanish, European competitions and internationals.

    I had to turn off a stream of Bayern vs Dortmund last year because I couldn't get into it. Yet over the past year or two I've watched Wycombe Wanderers vs Huddersfield, MK Dons vs Tranmere, St Mirren vs Aberdeen or whoever it was.

    Watching other games is obviously a completely different experience to watching Celtic games but I'm too much of a football fan to go for the first option.

    I love football but if Celtic were to cease to exist, then I'd be finished with it.

    So, Celtic more than football.

    I'm the same, I watch any football I can I love it but nothing compares going too Celtic Park on a match day, that experience is something else.


    Thanks

    Sean Finigan, you read like an insincere auto-chat program, like Talk Frank or something. I think it's the template greeting and ending to all your posts.

    I don't really care for football that much anymore. I actually enjoy supporting Celtic more than watching football, even Celtic games some times. I love the singing, the drinking and the politics etc that come with being a Celtic fan as much as I love watching any of the football.

    I'm the same, if Celtic died it would sicken me and I'd be fed up with watching football

    Watch all the Football I can. Always played it and always watched it. Of course the games involving one of my teams is more important to me, but if none of em are playing I'll watch just about anything.

    Because the soul has been ripped right out of it due to insane amounts of money being pumped in to it. It's not the sport it was and never will be again.

    I will admit clubs spending daft money like I still say Real Madrid are daft for spending £80.2 mil or whatever it was for Cristiano Ronaldo, I think the bigger clubs will be in severe trouble before 2016 teams like Hearts and Valencia I think will die soon, same with Chelsea, I don't think Chelsea will be in business in 3 years time.

    Because hardworking footballing teams with great histories are being eclipsed by whatever team is billionaires flavour of the month.

    *Man City who up until a few seasons ago were an english yo-yo team

    *Chelsea who until Abramovich pumped millions into them they were nothing more than a top 8 side

    *PSG who were founded in the * 70s and have prob benefited from being situated in one of the worlds greatest cities. They certainly wern't bought for their great history, superb fans or special story of how they were formed.

    What made me sick last season was when the group of Real Madrid, Manchester City, Ajax and Dortmund was put together in the Champions League the disrespect and disregard by football fans and media for Ajax was insane considering they are one of the biggest names in football having won the european cup 4 times but nah they've not got billions behind them so they dont matter.

    I had to scroll up to see what this subject was cos i rambled a bit but * it i knew wit i was on about :smiley-laughing002:
