Like I say in original post, it wasn't a dig at any one person or any set of fans in particular especially not folk like yourself who are putting in substantial travelling time to cheer on the dons. I just find it a bit annoying talking to folk (like work colleagues etc) who show no interest in going to games of teams they claim to support.
I would also add I hate Milne, think the club make easy decisions poorly or not at all, do nothing to make the game fairer, hate the manager, think the new stadium plan is barking mad, think supporters wanting the stadium there are barking mad, hate the blue strip don’t like cheering on Celtic players, utterly despise the loyalty point scheme, lack of PATG & if I hear stand free one more time I think I’ll launch myself off the Erskine Bridge.
Apart from that, everything’s peachy. COYFR
Well i've worked with dons 'fans' in the past who live in the city and iv phoned them up before i come down to a home match and see if they want to meet up for a pint and go to the game,we meet for a pint but they make excuses not to go to the game,dont understand it tbh,maybe they dont realise what they have in their doorstep and cant be fu#ked going? Dont know but its annoying as fu#k when aberdeen based fans canna be arsed going and we spend half a day travelling there and back
I wouldn’t say you are any less of a supporter obi because of the reasons you gave I think that’s fair enough,I think we were all talking about people who don’t bother going and don’t have any reason not to.
I still think it’s a bit weird you don’t like the football we play now but put up with the tripe on offer for the last 20 years,surely it has been a lot worse than it is now?
It’s just a definition and we could probably debate that ad infinitude.
By my definition, `I am currently a supporter, but there have been times when I’ve just been a fan and probably will be just a fan again in the future.
It all depends what life throws at us.
I meant no disrespect by my own personal definition.
Im at the other end of the world.
Im a fan and a supporter since i buy the odd shirt and subscribe to redtv and have done for years.
The 1 time i went home , i watched us in the cup when we beat Falkirk years ago.
Travelling from the central belt on my own ( since i was brought up with hibs hearts huns and celtic fans) and it being a 10/11 hour day wasnt an option for me.
No f"cking chance was I doing that every 2nd week.
Btw i really admire supporters who do it but i very much doubt they would go on their own week in week out without knowing anyone there.
Ive regularly watched the dons on my own. Its just not the same.
