Norwood's on Fire
Yeah, but it didn't mean anything to you which is why it's not a fair comparison.People did. It's OK. Hell, I said that very same thing.
Truthfully, they are/were welcome to do that to me when US went out. If you're saying that people just take it too personally - that's an issue that lies with them, not everyone else.
Look, my teams are pretty much all jarg in sports (well, the cricket team are doing okay of late I guess) and I am happy to have the piss taken as much as I do - I get ripped in work all week long for my domestic team.
There's a time and a place though. As I keep saying, as a mod your job surely involves (or should) displaying a certain level of empathy. You obviously don't understand the level of passion that we put into supporting our teams in this country, that's not a dig at you, it's just the way it is. And it's fine - I don't think less of people who don't have that same fire - in many ways I envy it - but as a mod you have to see things through eyes other than your own.
EDIT - or what Jack said
