Title: The ABE brigade
Post by: epsomraver on June 11, 2010, 11:11:33 AM
According to the BBC there is a large following of A B E (anyone but England,) tee shirts the lot,  probably started by the sweaty socks, jealousy? friendly rivalry?

Oldest international rivalry (maybe oldest rivalvry between any clubs?). Fair enough.

They're so poor now that the rivalry is becoming meaningless - so they resort to supporting proper teams who play England!

We should cut off their benefits.

I think it is sad how awful Scottish and Welsh football has become. I remember the Home Internationals being something to watch. Now the Wales team would have trouble in the Conferance and Scotland in the Championship. So I agree that really we have no football rivalry with these Countries because they are simply not good enough to be counted as rivals.

As for the T Shirts and stuff, just a bit of fun.

I've got my anyone but Murray t-shirt on today. I can change it now he has lost.

Seriously, seems quite sad that people go to such an effort, why not just wear a Brazil shirt like all the other hangers on?

I think the future of Welsh football looks quite bright Lighthouse. They have got some good young players coming through the ranks.
