West Sussex Resident on Talksport

[Bombadier Botty]

Talking in what was quite clearly a Tangmere born and raised accent about his beloved Liverpool. Next call up after his - some cockney geezer in London talking about his beloved Liverpool. Some people have no imagination whatsover.

(disclaimer - yes I know it's bloody Talksport)

I know the type, never been to Anfield but first in front of the TV in the ' Farmers Arms' when Liverpool are on SKY.
Wearing his replica shirt with Gerard 8 on the back of course.

Sorry. No sympathy, mate, that sort of radio encourages them. Why listen to it?
Liverpool are now better than Man Utd at attracting fake fans. Perhaps today's result will put the brakes on.

None expected. I hate Talksport for exactly that reason and was the first time I'd had it on in ages (honest guv) and this West Sussex twot was the first thing on, and I do mean 'thing'

He is the sort that calls Man Utd fans in Brighton glory hunters, with no hint of irony

Don't get me started.

Kevin Clarke, from Worthing I believe, won the Talksport competition to be a pundit on the radio.

The agency engaged with promoting it for talksport and Carlsberg have been badgering me to run articles about this Albion fan for weeks. The Albion themselves ran a piece about this "Albion fan" including pictures with Hughton.

I heard him on Talksport this morning talking about commentating on Stevie G's last game and what it meant to him as a Liverpool fan.

Poor.

I was explaining to my boy this evening that the football team you support is decided, at birth, by the use of a map (and a ruler should there be any doubt); you cannot simply "choose" which team to support because they win a lot or have nice colours.

Yet, as Brighton fans, we would applaud a chap in Skegness for ensuring his offspring are Brighton fans.

Yep, it's a funny old game, innit

Why is this? Liverpool are shite. When I was at school they were very much the team that won everything hence got all the gloryhunter fans. But why now?

I agree. After all it's why all of us on here are Brighton fans, it's either our home town or we all have strong geographical links to this part of the world.

It's just a shame that so many of my friends have been corrupted by following the trend when at school or by trying to fit in with the popular crowd. Many of my mates are all prem supporting people, Utd, arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs etc. to be fair some of them do actually go to as many games as they can but the majority are the typical arm chair supporters who can't name a player from pre 2000ad.

Football has traditionally always been about local pride and bragging rights otherwise the dark days of firms, punch ups and hooliganism wouldn't have existed.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

A Tangmere born and raised accent? Bloody Hell, that's a bit specific - I wish I'd heard it. Is it different to Chichester? Or Arundel?

At the end of the day though, it really isn't that important. Nobody, it seems, taught him to support his local team (which would probably have been Pompey), I would imagine, so he had to make a choice.

Sad for him, in my eyes, that his choice was Liverpool, but there you go. His loss.

 

[Gary1]

Saw this guy on the club website with Hughton and then he was introduced on TalkSport this morning as a Brighton fan. As soon as he came on he immediately said to Mickey Quinn that he was massive Liverpool fan and pressed this issue home during the conversation and afterwards was again named as a Brighton fan - obviously a prize tosser.

What a load of tosh. I was born in Merton. By birth I should be following Wimbledon. However, at the age of 5 I was uprooted to Mid-Sussex where I have remained ever since. Albion fan for 40 years and no way, obviously, a glory hunter.

Merton you say ? Better get that ruler out, you could be Palace...

 

[Ernest]

So the voting for him as a Brighton fan was balls then ?

I work with one of the worst 'Liverpool' fans, I also work with another of the worst.

The first is Sussex born and bred, 47 years old, but has only visited Anfield twice (about 20 odd years ago), but has a subscription to the Liverpool Echo, and will quote all kinds of facts and figures that only a saddo should know.

The second is a true Scouse (steals from his mam etc etc), is 50 years old but has lived here for over 30 years. He visits Liverpool regularly, but readily admits to knowing very little about football, but supports the Reds like his life depends upon it. They stick together up there you see.

Overall a pair of the most annoying colleagues possible, support a 'BIG' club but have no idea what football is really about, toxxers!

This does seem to hold true at the moment, and I have no idea why. I've actually started avoiding my local pub on Sundays now if Liverpool are on the tellybox.
