He or she may just be English in which case it's OK to say "we" when referring to an English football team.ClubMan said:"We"? Is gongey a Scouser as well?
gongey said:Do you use the word we when following Bohs?
ClubMan said:I personally do discriminate between somebody who is a mostly passive fan/consumer and somebody who is an active supporter of a particular club/team. Others are obviously free to differ.
jem said:It is far easier for you to be what you call an "active supporter " when your team is just up the road, it is far more difficult when the club in question is 2 hours away by road+ 2 hours waiting to get on flight + 45m to fly over++++
in actual fact I would say the fans that do this on a semi regular basis are in fact more of a supporter of their club than one who walks just up the road for home matches. i don't know whether you areone of these or are one that travels to matches all over the country.
I belive the likes of gongey and myself are every much intitled to say we when it comes to liverpool as you are of bohs.
gongey said:well neither was I for that matter so no need to get testy!
so would you reckon I pass as a passive supporter or an active one and am I entitled to use the word we when speaking about my team.
you might need to change your criteria?
