Matthew Le Tissier Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I know alot of you guys on here all follow NFL, NRL,NHL etc etc Whos your team in the sports you follow? Rugby - Boroughmuir played for them from p3 to U18s. Keep an eye on thier results. NFL- Arizona Cardinals when visiting my Aunt in Phionex i was taken to the stadium and ever since have had a soft spot MLB- Arizona Diamondbacks went to a game vs the Padres in 04 and Randy Johnson got his 4000th strikeout. So follwed them ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 In rugby I follow Ulster and Ireland. In the NFL I've followed the Patriots since the early Channel 4 days. In the AFL, my kids have split loyalties (St Kilda and Geelong) so I stay neutral but want them to both do well and finally, in cricket, I follow Worcestershire and Victoria.

Sydney Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Rugby - NSW Waratahs Rugby League - Wests Tigers AFL - Sydney Swans Cricket - Sydney Sixers Given I'm also partial to Sydney FC, there are weeks in March and April when I have 5 "football" teams I am following. They have NEVER all won on the same weekend. But the Swans, the Tigers and Hearts all won the Cup in 05/06 and the Swannies and Hearts both won in 12.

The Internet Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I used to watch a bit of NBA before I moved to sky and forgot BT Sport doesn't come with sky. Seething at that. But I still keep an eye on the Houston Rockets scores, mostly because they were my first team in the NBA 2k games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Nope. Just picked them as a county side, although my first bat was a Duncan Fearnley I should have added NSW for cricket, but Sheffield Shield bores me to tears, so I would be lying to say I even slightly care how they go. My first bat was a Fearnley too - but I didnt know (until i looked it up just now) that they were made in Worcester. I probably should have.

bajthejambo Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Indiana Pacers in the NBA. Since back when you used to get coverage on channel 4 in the 90's. Reggie Miller was the reason I took to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveofthegame Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Rugby I'm a Heriots man, plus Edinburgh at pro-level obviously. And obviously Scotland for all my sins. Tennis isn't a team sport obviously but huge Murray fan. Cricket is the only sport I actively follow England in. I detest their football and rugby teams but big fan of the cricket side.

PsychocAndy Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I don't "do" sports, but if there is a Scot playing, Murray, Di Rossa, Lawrie and Gallagher, I keep an eye on the results and if they win, look out the highlights. I hate team sports so couldn't really care about them. In pre PC times I used to think Rugby was played by Posh inbreds with **** strength but now in more enlightened times I just think it should be a Paralympic sport.

Sexton Hardcastle Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Always like Oakland/LA Raiders since NWA and that crowd.

moogsy Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Only other team sport I have any interest in (and even then it's not a very big interest at all) is NFL. 49ers is the team I 'follow'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I wouldn't necessarily say 'follow' but the ones that give you a wee 'Yas' moment inside when you hear they've won. NHL - Montreal Canadiens (being born in Canada I followed them before I'd even heard of HMFC) NFL - Denver Broncos (a cousin I stayed with in California was a fan so I just followed suit) MLB - Toronto Blue Jays (was NYY thanks to MAD magazine, but the late Tom Heaney of this parish persuaded me that they're the equivalent of both halves of the OF combined with Manchester Unoited) NBA - Sacramento Kings (if they even still exist...new franchise started up around about when I stayed in Sacramento for a wee while...same time as Broncos) Rugby - Gala (just after we'd got our first colour telly in the 70s Scotsport was showing a Gala v Hawick game and it was simply the shirt colour that hooked me) Cricket - Lancashire (thanks to Clive Lloyd playing for them - the coolest cricketer ever) English fitba - Liverpool (since FA Cup final 1971 when a neighbour came along to watch and said he liked them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougieHMFC Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Look out for Texas A&M's scores in the NCAA. No connection to them at all though, decided to "follow" them after getting into the college football because they play in maroon and white.

GlasgoJambo Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Always like Oakland/LA Raiders since NWA and that crowd. A to the m****f***** K. I don't follow any non football teams really, however my auntie lived in the LA area so gave me a Raiders t-shirt when I was wee. And then when NWA came about that just sealed the deal. Actually much prefer the mercandise to the team and haven't watched a game of NFL in about 18 years.

Mikey1874 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 England at cricket which is a common one but they're bumped after bullying them dumping Pieterson. Wales at rugby as she is Welsh and they're shit hot aggressive and stylish with likes of Gatland and Mike Phillips. Never had satellite tv or travelled much so not really got into much else.

Grado Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Used to follow MIM Livingston basketball team when I was still at high school because I got a free season ticket from the school. They had a good team playing at the Forum which beat the Soviet Union Olympic team. All this was before Murray pulled out to focus in on Rangers. Round about the same time Jordan and Pippen were tearing it up in the NBA so I started liking the Bulls. Still look out for scores but not watched a game in years due to not having satellite tv.

Peebo Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The "" around following got me thinking....are Hearts/football anyones second team/sport? Almost. Hearts are absolutely number one for me. But beyond that, I have grown pretty bored of football in general. Scottish football is a mess, and European football is so dominated by the rich clubs, I find it tedious. I barely watch any English games, although it is more interesting this season. I will be watching the World Cup, mind. Overall, I must admit to preferring NFL. During the season, I'll quite happily spend all day on a Sunday watching games. It's simply more competitive, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
