but in Ireland it was a straight choice between United and Liverpool
I have never got my head around why Irish fans of the game tend to support by and large, four teams in Liverpool, Manchester United, Rangers or Celtic brushing aside there local sides from the Irish leagues. It therefore puzzles me that so many of the Irish contingiency rub there hands with glee when the English National side fails, yet many support English club sides. How does the League of Ireland survive when the majority of fans opt in financially supporting clubs outside of Ireland? What has happened to supporting a team from where you are born and bred? I could not even think about supporting Chelsea, Manchester United or any other club side outside of the region i was brought up. Maybe i just have old fashioned values, but to me, locally supporting a club for life should be the order of the day. Sadly, this no longer exists for many.
