If I say Albion are sh*te then that is fine. If my lad says Dad we are sh*te that is fine and if anyone else I am sitting next to in the Brummie Road turns to me and has a moan then that is fine with me. But if a non-Albion fan criticises my team then I am quite partial to telling them to go f*ck themselves and that includes my son-in-law who is a Vile fan. It is on a par with my kids, I can call them whatever I like but if someone other than family slag em off then unless its really justified and I cannot argue against what they are saying then I will step in to shut em down. Its a bond you have and your football team becomes part of your family make up. I am not a hooligan and never get involved or condone violence but I do find it hard to bite my tongue when some Vile fan or Stoke moron gobs off taking the p*ss.
