Fitba runs fourth in my life.
God
Family
Country
Fitba
and I specifically prefer Scots to any other type. It's oft been overlooked without sound reasoning by the rest of the World ...
I have been known to buy kits and trinkets for both Caley Jags and the Gers when there isn't sufficient funds in the account to cover it ... so I just charge it and the wife gets upset because the dollar is poor against the pound ... it's nae mae fault our currency sucks. Blame the President.
And, of course, I like to try to plan ma trips to Scotland, every year, around the first matches of the season ... when the weather is fantastic and fevered pitch of fitba is in the air. You can go to Tulloch Caledonian in a short sleeved shirt and nae worry about the midges eating you alive ... you just haven't lived until you've seen yer home sides play a match at their home ground. If just once in yer life your do that, it is SOOOOOO worth it. For those of you out there that haven't done it yet ... Hoop or Ger, you Old Firm ... save up, do it, it is soo worth it. There is literally nothing like being in a stadium with 60,000 screaming supports during a match.
A prawn sarnie or pot noodles with a pie ... man, this is making me, ahem, 'homesick' ... a few pints with friendlies in a pub after the match ... ah, man we don't have anything close to approaching that here in the States.
I can remember about five years ago, going to almost a match every other night over a two week span ...
I save up, every year, just for this span of time, when I get to be, where I want to be ...
Brave Scotland

United Football League (UFL) is a professional American Football league, which plans to begin its inaugural season in October 2009. The league was founded by William Hambrecht, a Wall Street investor and former minority partner in the Oakland Invaders of the defunct United States Football League; and Tim Armstrong, a former senior executive at Google, now chairman and CEO of AOL. While the league has no official connection with the National Football League and claims to be a major league, some have speculated that it could become a minor or "developmental" league for the NFL

From the age of 8-18 I went to just about every game at Tannadice (including U21's on a Monday night haha!) and most of the away games on the buses. Back then going to away games was the highlight of my life, what a ****** riot it was on that bus, I'm tellin ya ang, some great characters. I rarely get to any away games nowadays though and only make about 10 home games. Still, futba is up there in the top 3.

Celtic at one point was my life and couldn't live without it, but now I'm older and married and although its still a big part of my life its not my main priority.
The other thing about it is, and maybe other ex pats can give their opinion on it. when you leave Scotland for foreign shores you look back and realize how pathetic this whole Catholic v Protestant thing really is. I mean you have to laugh at how ridiculous it all is and when you see people like Glasgow Rangers and Lenny and their foul mouth you realize what a fvckin waste of space these people really are and the sooner these idiots are dealt with the sooner Scotland can move on to better things without poisoning the minds of others...

Being a Celtic fan, I don't accept failure, be it a draw or losing.
Going to the matches gives me an outlet in letting off steam, and from that point of view, it is healthy.
As much as I love the Hoops, my son is top of the tree (and future captain of Celtic, which will be nice)

The older I get the less I care. I love Killie and I used to follow them home and away, spending a fortune in the proccess. I still buy 2 papers on a sunday and a monday to get a match report and go whenever I can, but I work most saturdays. However, I do go to about a dozen games a season. It still hurts when we get beat and I still get a kick when we win, but as a working mum, I can't put too much in to it thesedays. Might be different when Belter Juniour is old enough to be interested!!!!

lol! I studied Art History at university and used to miss my gallery visits every alternative Saturday over a four year period. . My lecturer couldn't understand why, he knew how important art was in my life. Finally, someone told him where he could find me. Football....he couldn't see the sense in it. Believe it or not he was Italian..hahaha

It doesnt matter as much as it used to,when i was a season ticket holder at Killie i hardly missed a game, i used to go away as well, spent a absolute fortune. now that i moved away from the area the logistics prevent me from going to the games, distances are just too far.but i always listen to the game on the radio, and when i get back to Killie. iattend.
