Fair-play to you for a thoughtful answer. Much appreciated and it certainly matches my personal experience.
As I said somewhere else : seeing my mates being all up in arms about ManU when they live in fecking Donegal was always funny to me, but I totally see the social aspect.
So much banter at the pub! If there is a thing the Irish love, it's a good banter.

Shame about the assholes who use it as an excuse to get into fights. Fecking idiots the lot of them.

Thanks for the kind words, I really have to take every excuse to practice writing in English ^^

Yeah, I definitely forgot about the banter and storylines.

I think what contributes the most to the sports ball hype is that a lot of people play sports ball themselves. And just like gamers watching streams of people playing the games they want to play or are playing, ball cultists wanna see guys do the shit they do on some backwater pitch. You know, for the "damn, I know that's difficult" or the "I could do it better" - factor.

Man, the "damn, I know that's difficult" is strong in every sport. I can appreciate a sport so much more if I did it myself, even just a few months. Fencing? No idea, people waving some sticks around. ~~Soccer~~ football? Sick volley shot, man, I saw a mate to the same thing back in 2006...

Yeah, I think it's also "I saw like 10 of my mates shit the bed trying to do that".

Thanks for avoiding the s-word btw ^^
