Yes i understand it and my point is it's not brainwashing a child to support a team his father supports it's a way of life the way every dad who supports team will always do. im proud to say i followed in my dads footsteps supporting LFC and will do so no matter what through the good and bad times.

PS..could you answer my first post please

Why would i buy my newborn a celtic shirt when i want him to be brought up a Rangers supporter ? as i have already said m8 it's a subtle form of brainwashing bringing your kid up the way you want them to be it's called teaching.

The point here is usually the child has no influence or choice over what team his father brings him up to support but the father does have a choice the child doesn't so the father subtly brainwashes the child into his way of thinking.

Mostly the father chooses the team not the child because the child is to young to make that decision for himself/herself.


PS maybe you are taking the brainwashed meaning literally but i do get what you are saying just in a different manner

I dunno if you'd call it brainwashing but I suppose it is, I would not let my son support anyone else, I prefer to call it influencing but if he rejected my influence he'd soon get a good boot up the arse .

Whats your point ? do u actually understand what snowy was saying and the explanation given ?

Are you familar with the saying "Give me the boy till 7 and i will give u the man" have a think about it then report back.

A clue football is like religion and what happens in religion ? you are brainwashed !

I have followed my dad in his football team, same as his dad, nothing to do with religion. Only football, thats the difference!

That was worded wrong, I was referring to external countries.

Due to the high profile of the league and who ever is doing good, ie mainly man u chelsea then then fan base increase in other parts of the world.

So more followers of glory than actually fans who follow their teams results.

You mean you have been led/brought up to follow your dads team by your dad, there is nothing wrong with that as i say it's a subtle form of brainwashing, parents especially fathers do this as there child grows up and the child grows up in the surroundings of the fathers team and there influence and 99/100 they end up supporting the team there fathers do if thats not a subtle form of brainwashing then i agree to disagree.

Of course religion has no place in football the point i was trying to get across was football is like a religion to fans ie they follow it with fervour and a passion a bit like religion does.

I was born in Glasgow as were my parents, my dad supported Rangers as did most of my Uncles, Nephews etc.
We moved to England when I was still little and eventually I also began supporting an English team..............Why ?
Because my favourite Scotland player joined them and that player was Denis Law so I began supporting Man Utd.
Many consider them a "Catholic" club but that consideration did not have any bearing on me as to me it wasn't a "Catholic" club it was Denis Law's club and so it was my club.

Religion has nothing to do with anything. All my family were Celtic but nobody really made me follow them. My ma took me to see Celtic at Parkhead every home game but living in Maryhill & with Thistle in the Premier league too at the time I also went to every Thistle home game too. I was obsessed with fitba & always had a ball at my feet. Why did I not support Thistle instead as my family wouldn't have minded? I think its just an unspoken rule that you follow in the family tradition & as I said earlier I will guide my son (strongly) but if he chose to support Thistle i'd be fairly happy as long as he never came in asking for a Rangers top or things would be very different
