Bandwagon Fan

So, just rich guys are hardcore then? Having the buck to travel to another country to follow their team?

No, obviously it's a flexible definition. I know a load of guys who aren't particularly well off but are Plymouth Argyle season ticket holders and travelled to well over half their away games. 4am coach journies to get to the other end of the country or whatever. These guys went to Exeter's last game or two, just in the hope to see them relegated. I know other fans, who are rich but can't be assed with that. They'll go to home games if they're not doing anything else on a Saturday.

Let's just say, these guys can't afford to get to every game but they do everything they can, each week to give them the best chance to make each game. AFAIK Pratters hasn't sold his moped to pay for a Barca ticket

Ok I understand what you mean Marcuss... They would sacrifice many things for being called a hardcore fan in England. I do sacrifice my sleeping hours and watch every barca game I can. I can't shift my residence to Spain from India though, so how would I ever become a hardcore fan by that 'strict' definition.

Give it time I guess. Just like how we don't take 5-12 year old cricket fans from India as serious fans.(Omg YUVI! Six Sixes!!! Seesh stfu n00bs) Same way. Give it some time and commitment without givin' up on them is the best bet.

Yeah, I'm not saying move to Spain. But then I don't think you can call yourself your hardcore when, by the sounds of it, you're not making any real effort to ever get to see a Barca game?
I said earlier there's no shame in not being a hardcore fan, a lot of people aren't. You sound like a devoted fan, like a lot of people are.

 

[Pratters]

Barca games start at 12.30 AM in India. And I watch them. I will go to the Nou Camp for sure to watch a game or two in the future.

What do you think of the many passionate Asian English Premier League team fans? There are some who are really passionate.

 

[Jarquis]

I was considering this earlier, whether or not somebody like duffer would consider himself a hardocre Arsenal fan.
He's as knowledgable and as passionate about the club as anybody I know.

My definition of "hardcore" fan has to involve physically watching games. Hardcore fan probably has more negative connotations, that you'd take the piss out of rather than admire.

E.g. cheer squad members. *shudder*

I didn't ask you to prove that you are hardcore, I asked for your definition. I asked you repeatedly.

 

[Pratters]

I think any one who tries to watch every game he possibly can is hardcore enough.

Meh.

Pratters, you are not this:

You are this:

As are most normal fans tbh

 

[_Ed_]

Who holds a ball while watching a game? What purpose could it serve? Honestly.

Unless, of course, it is in fact his drinking vessel. If so, kudos.

 

[Pratters]

haha. OK. I GET IT ripper.

Is the goalkeeper clearly (hence the different shirt) and his mates likely superglued it to his hands following a Green effort at the local indoor centre finals.

haha. OK. I GET IT ripper.

Half time kickabout

 

[GIMH]

Meh.

And I asked you to define 'possibly'. Generally we have a choice about what is 'possible' to an extent.

 

[Pratters]

And I asked you to define 'possibly'

See last post or the three ones before that.

 

[Pratters]

you responded with one of your random pathetic outbursts.

Show other examples on the forum of when I have had random pathetic outbursts. The only one outbursting over me so far has been you over the past month. I'll not carry on with this convo. It is pointless.

 

[GIMH]

Not going to make this thread about you, Pratters. As much as you might like to think I'm only disagreeing with you because I don't like you, it's actually your definition of hardcore fan I am taking issue with. And FYI I removed the 'pathetic outburst' bit from my post after seeing that Jack had removed your quote and original post.

Seeing as he's ginger I would imagine he's the token special needs (although the one far right looks a tad different as well)

Hardcore, you know the score
Rhymes so good they deserve an encore
All about the style we bring
We make you laugh like when you was a child again
Smooth, that's how I roll
I got so much soul when I step into the party
I wanna move somebody
I wanna move somebody
We're the masters of the ceremony
What does it take to be a garage MC
Personality
Originality
On a microphone they got to be
Capital U N the K N O I get down
Represents south London town
Pied Piper's on the decks
Rock the discoteque I'm back and it set
This one's for the heads out there
Party people can ya hear me clear
If you like it let me see your hands in the air
If you don't, y'all get the hell out of here
Bass is kickin', drums is drummin'
When you hear dididi I'm comin'
Shark P represents the west of London
DT, Piper, Melody and Unknown
We're lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it
We're lovin' it like this
We're lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it
We're lovin' it like that
DT, Melody, Sharky P, Unknown to make you rock
Sing we come to sing
And dance 'til we drop
Do you really like it, do you really like it
We're lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it
We're lovin' it like this
Do you really like it, is it, is it wicked
We're lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it
We're lovin' it like that


tbh...so as long as you now the score P, you're hardcore.
