Glory hunters, in my opinion, are just a mild and different way of explaining cases of low self esteem and it is in the glory hunting that these people find salvation for what they lack.
Because of self failings, these people seek 'success by association' which goes a way to explain why they want to be a part of success even though it doesn't have anything to do with them (be it geographically, historically, hereditory, etc) and they will hang on to the successes of others and apply it to themselves to boost themselves in their own heads and try and look like they have 'achieved' to their peers.
I hate Man Utd with a passion, more than ever after sitting with their fans at Old Trafford and witnessing them again today but it all just got me thinking that I shouldn't be jealous of them, but pity them for they don't have what I have. They don't know what it's like to feel so 'a part of it' and as associated as I do, and while we lost twice to them I feel the 'richer' of the two sets of fans.
(I never experienced the 80's Man Utd games because I wasn't born til '81, so am really just realising this all now - maybe I'm spouting old news / experiences of others who have gone before me)

I was really struggling yesterday to explain to the wife just why I hate manure fans so much. I just passed her the article in the oatcake and said "Just read that.....see its not just me." Cheers Smudge  |

Most stokies all hate man poo with a passion and its based on history of fighting between the 2 teams too.This game was a local derby,and before segregation the man poo fans came into the boothen end so there were many good scraps.Outside the ground used to be mayhem with the fighting and its very quiet now compared to years ago.Remember going to old trafford with mates and getting a good kicking 4 times in 20 minutes,fucking blood everywhere,and that was before thegame.

Not another subject for Miserable Merv Dave the Rave to have a real whinge about!  What's up. Have you just discovered that the Missus had invested all your life savings in Woolworth's shares and then run off with your best friend and your season ticket? |

It WAS amusing to see 3 Transits arrive at the away end yesterday and disgorge about 50 "Man U" fans - amusing when the addresses of the mini-bus companies were Billericay, Chertsey and Hornsea
My geography is no longer spot-on but that sounds more like West Ham, Chelsea and Arsenal/Spurs territory to me...............

They were the kids who couldn't think for themselves at school and followed what everyone else was doing.
How sad that even into adulthood, they can't leave the childhood defence mechanism of gloryhunting behind.

If I have to read one more post about fucking glory hunters i'll go mad! No-one gives a fuck anymore. They exist, just get over it! Go mad then, because Gloryhunters are the cancer of football and have ensured that we now have the sad and disgraceful situation where clubs like Stoke, Derby, Nottingham Forest etc, etc have no chance of being a major force in English football and certainly have no chance of winning the league. You might not give a fuck any more (maybe thats because you're hiding a dark secret about your own persuasions?) but thank god a lot of people do. In fact when it becomes main stream to take the piss out of and ridicule glory hunters English football might have a fighting chance of becoming a competitive game again! BM |

So if you're sick of hearing about gloryhunters why did you click on a thread that was clearly marked as being about gloryhunters?  Anyway, what Bristol Mick said!!! |

There's a little piece in today's Sentinel about fans who watched the match on TV at Varsity and there are interviews with a few people in there.
One person interviewed was a 53-year old Manchester United "fan" from Penkhull, who says she can see the Britannia Stadium from her home, but "doesn't like Stoke".
Quite why our local paper is prepared to give air time to parasites like this is anyone's guess. It's enough to make you puke.
