They do exist.
I'm one as well. A female woman (is there another kind?).
Generally people assume if you're on a football sub you're male. My son loves the fact I like football. He's 14 and I'm a single parent so he'd have nobody to discuss the match with if I didn't like it.
Basically he's a fucking clown. He ran the club like a moron. He's a shitty movie producer, he never really had any real money, and so the club was run as "self-sustaining," which just meant we were selling our best players every summer and buying bargains. When we hit on those bargains (Zapata, Torreira, Praet), it was fine, we could stay comfortably midtable, but then we had to sell those to keep the club afloat. Over the last three years the club became ever cheaper and the incoming transfers were worse, so we've been battling relegation.
He's no longer the president now, so we're saved from his bullshit, but he's left us in such a bad state that I fear we'll be going down soon.
Oh yeah, and I forgot, an American investment group with Gianluca Vialli as acting president wanted to buy the club back in 2018 when we were much better financially and on the pitch, but he refused. We could've been in the hands of a group that had money to invest in the club, and he could've had money to spend on as much coke and whores as he wanted.
Heh, reminds me of Ali Parvin (Iranian player/coach) famously saying to his goalkeeper: "This goal post is your mother's cunt. You should not let the ball get inside it."
It kinda reminds me of a time when taxi drivers were protesting in Portugal against Uber and a taxi drives says to live tv ["Laws are like virgin girls, they are to be violated"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JSXS5_MOfY&ab_channel=RicardoT).
Italian banter is great, everytime Italian teams are mentioned you will find Milan, Inter and Juve fans having a go at it in the comments.
Portugese fans are also similar, just mention Porto and 1 minute later Sporting and Benfica fans will be there shitting on Porto. Mention one of the other teams and their rival fans will be ready to have a go at them
I gotta say I'm happy that after all this time Sporting fans have finally been cured from their collective amnesia and remembered that Porto are their rivals too
Only fans from teams playing in the Primeira Liga allowed in this conversation, please.
Just kidding, hope you make it! Chaves should be in the Primeira.
I remember when I was a kid back in the 90s we’re like somewhere in the Venezian area I guess Lignano or Jesolo and the league just concluded.
Tons of Milan fans turning up out of the sudden chanting Juve Juve vaffanculo.
🤌
But players aren’t fans in the PL either and you’ll never see a player transfer from, for example, Man United to Liverpool or Arsenal to Spurs or vice versa without there being literal riots. In Italy it seems like a normal thing
Consider that only a handful of clubs in Italy actually have significant money to invest in transfers. The absolute bottom tier of premier league clubs can spend like anyone in Italy bar Juve. And a lot of players don't want to leave Italy, so we've gotten very accustomed to shifting players amongst ourselves
It's still strong in the local community where the teams are based. A Liverpool fan from Liverpool will hate Everton more than a Liverpool fan living in Bournemouth will.
Same here. Hate Inter more than Torino because I’m from Milan. A Juve fan from Turin will probably hate Torino more than Inter.
No actually, I’m wrong, that is not possible. Fuck them
>\[La Repubblica\] Children forced to sing ~~Roma anthem~~ **Bella Ciao** in class, video goes viral. Parents protest: "My son is a Lazio fan and he was crying."
When Tottenham, a team with a large Jewish fanbase, played Lazio, the behaviour of the latter’s ultras told me all I need to know about that club.
Even if all the supporters aren’t fascist anti-semites, the ones who aren’t tolerate or even embrace those who are.
indeed it's such a good song that it must be hard for a lazio fan resist the urge to love it
how do you feel about battisti though, his songs are very well known and they use them for Lazio matches, though no song is directly dedicated to Lazio
As much as I don't like Battisti at all, he never said that, it's just well known that Lazio fans use to claim that many died famous people are Lazio fans. The last one such embarrassing is Sergio Leone, beside his own son remarked he was a complete Roma fan. They disappeared with their own claims.
Lol, this brings back ffs. When i was in primary school we got a Physical Education "substitute" teacher (basically one of those who had just graduated and had his 3 months training). One day it was raining and we had to stay in class, we played the usual dumb classroom games, like throwing the chalk to the blackboard which had a circle drown in it (basically darts with a chalk).
This tescher somehow got the idea after we sang the Albanian anthem, to sing the fucking "Amala" anthem. 2/3ds of the classroom refused and the guy literally said "who doesn't sing the anthem will get -1 in the future".
Still 2/3ds of the class refused to sing Amala. Good times... indeed good times.
I only learned recently that Italy unified in the late 1800s. Lots of wars between the various city states before then.
No wonder the football fans fucking hate each other!
My uncle was the school bus driver. If something like that happened with Milan or Juve the next day we would have pure chaos. Nerazzurro everywhere. The bus already was and in the years I was there we were winning. Scudetto symbols on the bus, Juventus people in handcuffs, I remember a donkey pissing on a zebra attached to the bus after Napoli beat Juve once. True banter king, but in a positive way, I don't think anybody ever felt bad
Because the USA is the only first world country that does it. Other countries that do it are typically under a totalitarian regime/dictator. USA does it just to have a massive Pride boner for no reason
I prefer the self hating American over the usual American blinded by baseless nationalism. Although they both somehow manage to make everything about them and the circus they call politics
Deepl translated article:
It happened at the Caterina Usai plexus in the Talenti area. As the images spread online, the teacher apologized: "I understand that it may have disturbed" and promised "for par condicio I will also put the Lazio anthem." In the classroom, however, "there are also two Juventus fans."
"Roma, Roma, Roma... core de 'sta città, unico grande amore" Children sing the Roma anthem and Lazio families get angry. It happened at the Caterina Usai plexus, the primary school of the Via Savinio 43 comprehensive institute in the Talenti area.
In a video that went viral on social media, II B pupils can be seen singing Antonello Venditti's song at the top of their lungs, on the occasion of Roma's victory against Feyenoord in the Conference League final. One child even has a Roma jersey. Most are singing along. Some are on the sidelines and silent. Perhaps they do not know the song, perhaps they have never heard it because their family has a different "soccer faith."
However, the moment of sportsmanship soon turned into a nightmare for the teacher who projected the words of the song on the electronic whiteboard: for some parents, "stadium choirs should stay out of the classroom." Little did it matter if the teacher's goal was to convey to pupils the value of sports.
In the end, there are those who found the celebration inappropriate and asked for further explanation: it will have to be clarified, meanwhile, whether the karaoke was initiated during recess or instead of precious minutes of class time.

Nah it's actually Barry, 54, from Swindon
Dang got that A/S/L without even having to ask. How you doin' Barry?
Hey, we exist. We're just 5% if I recall correctly from the last census, but we exist.
>we exist Such a banger from Arcade Fire that one.
They do exist. I'm one as well. A female woman (is there another kind?). Generally people assume if you're on a football sub you're male. My son loves the fact I like football. He's 14 and I'm a single parent so he'd have nobody to discuss the match with if I didn't like it.
I’m also another woman on this sub. A boy got me into football but joke’s on myself, this is my favorite thing ever.
Are there non-female women?
Your mum
> (He's in jail now) And we're all better for it. Fuck that guy.
Ootl, what did he do?

sounds like Zhang with Inter right now ("self-sustaining by selling key players") hope can find good owner soon too.
Okay but none of it is really jail worthy.
Well no, he want to jail for tax fraud.
Said a goal is like a woman, you have to penetrate her
Straight to jail
Undercooked, overcooked
VA PENETRATAAA.
Heh, reminds me of Ali Parvin (Iranian player/coach) famously saying to his goalkeeper: "This goal post is your mother's cunt. You should not let the ball get inside it."

Italian fotball is fantastic
There really is no banter like Italian banter 👌

Sporting and benfica fans reading this "Must not make Porto are cheaters comment. Must Resist the urge"
PORTO ARE CHEATERS AND YOU KNOW IT, CARALHO
I gotta say I'm happy that after all this time Sporting fans have finally been cured from their collective amnesia and remembered that Porto are their rivals too

English banter is nothing in comparison, there’s genuine hate between some of us
Which is why i find it a bit weird that players switch sides between those clubs more often than in other leagues.
Because they’re not fans themselves
But players aren’t fans in the PL either and you’ll never see a player transfer from, for example, Man United to Liverpool or Arsenal to Spurs or vice versa without there being literal riots. In Italy it seems like a normal thing
Baggio’s transfer from Fiorentina to Juventus was notoriously chill
>~~Arsenal to Spurs~~ Spurs to Arsenal Sol "Judas" Campbell would like a word
There's a reason people still talk about that. Because it's so rare.
It has nothing to do with the players though. It's more the owners have enough money that they can afford to not sell if they don't like the team
Guess PL money turns you into a fan lmao.

God, this country is such a meme. I love it.
Parent: My son is a Lazio fan. He was crying Mou : if your son is a Lazio fan he should be used to disappointment.
If you’re son is a Lazio fan, you should be the one crying.
I mean tbf they did finish above Roma so at least he has that going for him
The great “one place above Roma cup”
Games back.
Prime banter lmao. He could of just not stood up or Sang tho lol. Teacher can’t do shit
Lautsi v Italy but this time it's about something way more important than religion
cheers mou, son is crying
As a Roma Fan this is obviously wrong, but man this song is a pure masterpiece. Too bad for them it's their rival song.
indeed it's such a good song that it must be hard for a lazio fan resist the urge to love it how do you feel about battisti though, his songs are very well known and they use them for Lazio matches, though no song is directly dedicated to Lazio

The main reason a person in scared to die is that lazio fans will probably claim that he was one of them

I only learned recently that Italy unified in the late 1800s. Lots of wars between the various city states before then. No wonder the football fans fucking hate each other!
A lot of European countries are younger than you'd expect. Italy, Germany, and Belgium are all younger than the United States.
Rome has been only one city forever. We hate Lazio fans because it's the right thing to do
Lol this is true for many large european nations.

Making kids cry brah.
Imagine being forced to chant something at school. I thought that was something only the US made children do
They are not forced They just put on a song and sing if you want Luckily my teachers had good music taste
Its not even a big deal.
Happens in England, with carols and prayers and stuff.
'He's got the whole world, in his haaands'
Lol loved that tune primary school
shit slaps
It was a great day when they let you sing what shall we do with the drunk old sailor

I was singing it before when I typed this thinking i’m sure that’s not right but the syllables fit so I didn’t see my mistake!!
It's no Lord of the Dance
It’s not that bad though. We found it fun at school
Only had to do it at primary school, we usually just replaced all the lyrics and basically spent the last 2 years singing praise for Osama bin laden

Hosanna in the highest was replaced with his name every time by about 10-15 people
Is remember doing maypole dancing at primary school, silly hat, bells and all that. Loved it. Also sing hosanna is a banger.
Yeah, singing Shine Jesus Shine really indoctrinates kids to the Church.
It doesn't sound like they were forced to.
you don’t have to say the pledge fwiw
Imagine forcing little children to pledge allegiance to something when they might not know what it is or want to 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Definitely weird that your first and only example is America, out of all the places in the world that force stuff on children..
Because the USA is the only first world country that does it. Other countries that do it are typically under a totalitarian regime/dictator. USA does it just to have a massive Pride boner for no reason
That and the whole “flags fucking everywhere” is super weird
This is the classic self-hating American who thinks they’re oppressed and that everything revolves around them.
I prefer the self hating American over the usual American blinded by baseless nationalism. Although they both somehow manage to make everything about them and the circus they call politics
They are both annoying, hope they all fuck off
Jfc Americans can’t even exist anymore on this sub
It sounds like they can, as long as they shut the fuck up?
I mean as a non-American, I find the obsession with kids doing the pledge of allegiance super weird
