As for this disdain over him tweeting support for the Blades, deary deary me I must unsubscribe from the Pittsburgh Steelers official site immediately. I am obviously not allowed to support a team whom I admire and whose supporters are a credit to their team because I am English.

It's bizarrely narrow-minded to think that unless you're from a place or have a long-standing family link into it that you can't be considered a proper fan. In fact, it's just nonsense. I started going because my uncle took me to the Lane, but he was the first in our family to ever support them – travelling up and down the country to watch us even when we fell to the 4th division. I took a friend to a few games when he was in his 20s and he ended up becoming a fan and had a season ticket next to me for a few years – I've got about United memories from 14 years before he watched his first United game, but his passion for the club is no different to mine.

I've been a Red Sox fan for over 12 years now, been to several games and watch them regularly. I'm not American, I've no links to Boston, and got into both the sport and team by chance.

If you're on any social media outlet, and you're in a position that the majority cannot reach, be it thru' education/financial and you're naive enough to think that all you'll receive are plaudits and 100% support, it's time to delete all profiles and watch from a distance.

Nothing against the bloke personally, but I never understood how you could suddenly become a supporter, same applies to any other outsiders at all the clubs in the League(s).

Probably a really nice bloke...

But would only talk to you if you were saying something positive about the club... any hint of question and you were blocked.

Some of his Facebook rants were truly shambolic.

Didn't understand the club or the fans and was basically the prince's fall guy.

If you didn't know him and bumped in to him on holiday you would probably have a pint with him.

Unfortunately this would probably lead to him following you around for then rest of time like a lost sheep wanting to join in with everything.

Calm down bitch.

Or what?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Or what?

Oh dear. Do you post on here wearing dockers with a blades scarf tied around your wrist?

And to think you claimed that I thought I was hard

Oh my word, rag week dear?
