We just need another 80 million of your countrymen to think along the same lines as your user name! Get working on it please.

He’s just a footballer, look at the country’s human rights record before giving them all a cuddle!

I don't know what Iran's record on human rights has got to do with some Iranian football fans wanting to follow the Albion now that Ali Jahanbakhsh has joined us. Welcome to them, I say. Besides, I'd have thought that people who have to live under a regime with such poor human rights are exactly the people we should be looking to give a (virtual) cuddle to.

I’ve dug out my favourite retro shirt ready to wear at our friendly against Nantes.
Welcome to all our Persian friends, long may our friendship last.

If our new Iranian fans wonder why this club is so special then take a look at the video below:



This is what makes this club so special in its relationship between the fans and the players and I don't think there are many professional football teams where the players and fans celebrate together like this.

What a day that was!!

Everyone of the players that season deserve the freedom of Sussex, and when they do eventually leave, they go with our utmost respect,affection, and appreciation.
They’ll always be welcome back to Sussex.

Exactly, which is why hopkins is taking a long break from NSC to go live back under the stone from which he first crawled.

What a thoroughly enjoyable thread that was to read.... so much positivity and friendliness that it gave me a nice warm fuzzy feeling...

I hope they’re good with fish puns.

I hope they’re good with fish puns.

And joke deconstruction.

I wonder If any of our new Iranian friends are amongst those spouting homophobic bile on the clubs Facebook page which has temporarily adopted a Pride themed Albion badge.

Looking at the names, I've only seen names of Arabic background and have yet to see a Persian name but I could be wrong.

Nope. I checked them myself, and I mentioned it in another thread. You'll find Arab names but no persian ones, at least when I checked it. I know it can be difficult to differentiate between Iranian and Arab names, but I urge you guys not to immediately assume a muslim-looking name = Iranian.

Now, on the topic of instagram comment spamming- that's definitely Iranians. I also mentioned this in another thread but in the case that Alireza doesn't hit the ground running and is benched for some games- expect loads of heat from Iranian instagram users against your coach or whatever- and apologies in advance for that.
