dw about tl;dr! i drunk commented you, you were under no obligation to reply in the first place XD and you know i'm always interested in what you have to say.
obviously in my inebriated state i've misinterpreted the spirit of your post- reading again now it's obvious that you aren't saying anyone should stop supporting LFC. my bad!
but it is interesting for me to talk to someone who's coming into football recently about this. i've never heard this point of view expressed, since most people at least in the lj-based online community try to hide that they're new or adopt a history immediately and try to make it their own ASAP. (which, on a whole other tanget, is entirely because of the ridiculous "you aren't a real fan if you're a new fan" bullshit going around _fb.) 'cause for me, the club is first and it is the biggest thing, i guess? like, there is the club, real madrid, which began for me in the mid 90s, and that's more important than the team itself, the lineup and the individual players, and its current unsavory antics. i'd be interested to scrounge up that runofplay article, at any rate, gonna look for that in a sec!
i think that's about all i got. back to writing your fic!
