a don in oz Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 So what about a wee boy who takes a notion to a team and sticks with them for life, glory hunter? When you're a wee bairn... whatever you do is hardly rational... so good on you for supporting whatever whimsy makes you support kiddie. Seriously... I don't think anyone is having a go at children really do you? Really? Link to comment
Chrisyboy81 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Aye. Parents should be there to nip this in the bud. Unless it's a team that's never on the telly or gets saturation media coverage. In that case, fair enough.I have a weegie mate who's a Dandy, he watched the 83 cup final as a boy and begged his mum to get him a dons shirt, which she eventually gave in to and that was him a Don for life. So is he a glory hunter? I'm fairly sure he wasn't old enough to appreciate what glory hunting was and when he was old enough to realise he stuck with it, I'm sure he must've taken a fair amount of stick going through school.

Seriously... I don't think anyone is having a go at children really do you? Really?No definitely not I agree with you, I jus wonder how other people see it. I personally like it when I meet people who are Dandies but they don't come from Aberdeen, I don't care where they come from or what their reasons are for supporting Aberdeen. We need all the support we can get and every weegie in red is one less in blue or green. Link to comment

I hated those kids at school that were changing teams every couple of months. Link to comment

He was looking at his Match Atax album thing yesterday, bought him a couple of packets of the cards, he's opening them, chucks Stokes on the floor, and says 'tattie muncher. Disgusting'. Made my heart swell thon. We've taken to flushing the Rangers Match Atax down the bog, or on 5 Nov we attached Lafferty and Davis to a firework before lighting her up and letting rip. Link to comment
sheepiekev Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 So what do you say to the Aberdeen away support, 50% of which is made up of fans from the Central Belt, who started following the Dons during the Fergie days? Cant have it both ways. What's the difference? Link to comment
Kilkito Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Very well put. I'm from Stirling originally, with no connection to the Dons or Aberdeen the city whatsoever, and almost certainly started out as a 'gloryhunter' in the 80s (although I was only 6 when I started, and these things are not quite as clear-cut when you're just a kid. For all I know, I might have started supporting Aberdeen because I liked the colour of the strip). Yup, I started supporting them when I was 6 also(I also grew up in Stirlingshire). I supose it was gloryhunting, but to be fair, I was 6, all my pals were huns, and my dad told me I couldn't support them, I needed to choose someone else, and gave me 3 options, Aberdeen, United and Celtic, I chose Aberdeen, cause I knew they'd won something recently, must have been the league. Last time we did win something, I travelled up to Aberdeen after the game, just so I could celebrate in the city! Link to comment

Agreed...my loon and lass are AFC daft and have been since around 5...so yes...the boy horrified my missus with shouts of "come on blackie" when ever Aluko got the ball a couple of seasons ago....but thats another story Link to comment

torrysheep82 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 The Irish thing about Celtic is a crock of shite. I am half Irish my Dad is from Dublin, I hold UK/Irish passports, I am a citizen of the ROI. I was born in Aberdeen, I support Aberdeen, simple. The only difference with me is I support Ireland in international matches against anybody but Scotland and I feel that is OK to do so, but Celtic can go fuck themselves, I have 16 cousins in Ireland all about my age I cant think of one that follows the mhinks.

FS should be ashamed of himself for getting a hard on at what is in effect...a shit manager of a shit team stating the obvious No, Shiels is correct. The duopoly we have in Scotland means more and more youngsters support Rangers and Celtic, because: 1. They're the only teams that ever win anything, or have a hope of winning anything, anyone else wins by sheer fluke once in a blue moon.2. They're the only teams ever shown on the telly.3. They're the only teams who spend money on players, which as we all know, as Sky batter us with it, is the single most important issue in football, who's spending what, on who. And so on and so forth, working in ever decreasing circles. Killie had an average of well over 10,000 in the nineties so he's bang on the money. Link to comment

Taken on board but in Aberdeen we have the chance to right the wrong...anyone East coast north of Dundee should be an AFC supporter yes/no?....but...we are stuck with a chairman who sems to be hell bent on destroying everything Dick Donald/Alex Ferguson did to ensure the support of these people. I honestly cannot see any way out while Milne is in charge...when Dick died putting Milne in charge was like.......putting a dog in charge of a butcher's shop. I still think FS has got a bit over excited by Sheils stating the obvious comments....mind you since FS's wife left him hard on's have probably been few and far between...so I'll allow him this one Link to comment
tup Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Celtic will always side with Rangers, and vice versa. Without each other, they are nothing. The title of the thread is wrong, seeing as his name is Shiels, as in Gala, or Dean, and not Shields as in South, or of the Apostles. Link to comment

As for the rest of this drivel, there were glory hunters before Fergie, some clung on during Fergie's era (we were hardly all-conquering after all) and then it ramped up again post-Fergie. To give credit to Dick Donald for anything is laughable, AFC were a force and innovative becasue of Chris Anderson, once he went, so did the ideas. Link to comment
