HonaloochieB Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 It's easy to muster some enthusiam for a tournament when a team you actually give a damn about is playing. When they're not it's the perfect excuse to not give a flying toss about the whole affair. Anyone who watches a football game and isn't partisan is the very reason why football appears to be the preserve of overly pretend excited middle managers who have read one too many copies of Loaded. Pshaw. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3318-lets-support-poland-at-euro-2008/#findComment-103619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Just because you don't 'support' a team doesn't mean you can't be partisan or even just enjoy watching a match. If my team - Watford - had to be involved in every match I watched in order for me to be interested I'd spend a lot less time down the pub. Hmmmm..... hope my dear lady wife doesn't see this post.

How can you be partisan without supporting a team? Enjoy watching a match without investing some emotion into it, I'm not a fan but I just don't get that. I go along with a chap, Dave I used to work with. He was a die-hard Arsenal supporter, didn't give a shit what sort of game they played as long as they won. If their skills on the day were 'silky' and they were perhaps 'tight in the back' or whatever boatloads of crap the pundits wanted to pile on them, so be it. What was important was that they won. It's not the playing that counts it's the winning, and it's probably why I've lost interest in football and that others have gained it.

mockney piers Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If a tournament has good football then it's a joy to watch, partisanship be damned. England have been embarrassing and painful to watch since about 1996.They're always less than the sum of their parts and perennial underachieving, overpaid tosspots.Luckily I have Spain to suppport..........DOH!!!!!

Keef Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm cheering Spain, the great underacheivers (says an English person), but some great players...

SeanMacGabhann Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm all for non-partisan appreciation of football. Certainly if partisan means watching the scenes in Manchester on UEFA cup final night, then give me the oppositeWhat usually happens with tournaments with no Irish involvement (which is plenty!) is I try and find a national bar in London(a Spanish, Italian, whatever) and watch with the "locals" So.. recommendations on the best (insert participating country here) bar in London Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3318-lets-support-poland-at-euro-2008/#findComment-103652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamma Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 There was no home nation involvement at the 94 world cup (Ireland is a foreign country, deal with it) but my local pub had a sweepstake. I drew Romania, my mate drew Sweden, when they met in the quarter finals it was one of the all time classic nights in the pub. It's a good way of creating a sort of temporary attachment to a team and given the result last time no matter who you draw at the Euros there's a chance you could win.Anyone work out how one could organise some sort of sweepstake through the EDF? With 16 teams and hundreds of folk posting here we could have vast swathes of E Dul backing any particular team Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3318-lets-support-poland-at-euro-2008/#findComment-103770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
