Win My Support

[bobwentpop]

Being Scottish and not having Sky TV, I've never had the chance to see an English club playing before and don't feel any locational bias. For this reason I don't support any of them. It's really boring to follow a competition while not bothered about any results or the winner so I'd like to add a little spice!

Now I'm going to lay down a challenge. Convince me to support your team - by their style of play, strip, good looks, whatever - and you will win... well you'll win my support for your team. <_<

GO!

 

[SelimNiai]

Support Bristol, Bernardo Stortoni played for us. Dave Hilton is another Glasgow and Bristol player.

Plus we need all the help we can get at the moment :lol:

 

[bobwentpop]

Hmmm... What's their style of play like? Do you know of any videos of them in action online to woo me with?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sale Sharks!

We used to have Jason White, we've got Johnny Kennedy (though the less said about him the better ), Gavin Kerr is Scottish as well.
Also, they're the (second) closest to Scotland of the GP teams.
Also, nows a good time to start supporting as the club is basically starting a fresh, massive amount of new players, and a new head coach. Can't really do worse than last season, so it's onwards and upwards for this season!

Strips have Shark fins on, and everyone loves sharks! Last season was a bit of kick and chase in terms of tactics, but the new players are VERY encouraging, i think they're going to play a very exciting brand of rugby next season (world 7s player of the year signed, so he'll be good to watch)

 

[SelimNiai]

Traditionally forward dominated we can play some attractive running rugby. Youtube wise there arent many but here are a couple;



17 Phases to score a drop goal to beat Gloucester at home. I celebrated it to much I pulled my calf muscle.



Our 1st game after being promoted again a few years back against Bath and Lee Robinson scores the winning try.

Theres something special happening at saracens and im pretty sure you want to be a part of it ..

English Premiership rugby attendances are on the up and I'm not that bothered about trying to convince you to watch the best domestic Rugby competition in the Northern Hemisphere.

I watch free to air Magners games quite often and enjoy them without the need to favour either side.

 

[Daylightfire]

Support Quins, Because thanks to last summer we were kinda the pantomime villians for a bit,, and we have a very pretty kit. We also support lots of charity's and god knows how we are going to play this season!
We also have arguably the best back row in the league with possibly the worst front row!

 

[Teh Mite]

If it's so boring, why would you give a toss anyway?


For that matter, if you find the closest and most competitive league in world rugby (either code) 'boring', what the bloody hell are you doing away from watching sport?


Anyway;

I think he meant it is boring watching a competition when it has little impact on him, so by 'supporting' a team, it makes it a little more entertaining.
As you say, anyways...

What about Glouscester? They have a couple of Scotland internationals, like Rory Lawson, Jim Hamilton and Alisdair Strokosch (sp.) (I think there is another few, but I don't think they are internationals)

Eh? But he's talking about the Premiership.

 

[tinchy17]

Right, so, Saracens Rugby wear black and red strip with a tinge of white. They ended up in the final of the Premiership last season, but lost out to Leicester. Also, they signed Kelly Brown from one of the Scottish teams in the Magners league.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Support anyone but the Sarries! (or to a lesser extent, Wasps ((they have Riki Flutey though, and he's one of my favorite players, so i don't dislike them as much atm)))

Why are you trying to put him off supporting the Sarries? They're my local team for goodness sake!

Because Everyone outside Watford hates them.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's three reps i own you Iain, i'm going to have to note this down somewhere

 

[lucky number 7]

you just saved it permanantly to this thread..i am your witness to this debt Iain

I owe you 2 aswell ollie ..and you one Iain

500th post....and what a mind numbingly silly one it was

 

[Feicarsinn]

I was going to rep Lucky Number 7 for his 500th but I can't. I'll put it in the creditors ledger.

 

[lucky number 7]

I was going to rep feicarsinn for being awesome......but i cant....adding that to my rep tab

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Rumours are that you need to rep other 50 times before repping the same bloke again.
