Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

And potatoes are bad, why? :think:

I think you'll find that the staple diet of both sets of Glasgow fans includes enormous quantities of very deep-fried spuds!!

Wouldn't surprise me at all Leeds United once upon a time was the flavour of the day in Australia when Mark Viduka and Harry Kewell play for them. Now since they have left you barely hear of them.Most fans are either immigrants from the area or fans who didn't jump off the bandwagon after everything went tits up.

That said Man Utd are popular throughout Asia and i'd suspect they'd still have a decent fanbase throughout south korea even if park left.

:hehe:

After Park Chan-ho left the Dodgers, it wasn't long before you coudn't find a Korean who even remembered where his first MLB team was. :dono:

BUT...you may have a point, as Koreans tend to be a lot more into football/soccer than MLB.

Yeah but it seems not the local leagues i remember when my local team Adelaide United was playing Pohang Steelers "the steelyard" (much better than some sponsors name all over it i guess) was half-empty and they are one of the most successful teams in South Korea and Asia!.

So, because one of your numerous teams happens to be Glasgow Rangers, you think it is OK to make tasteless jokes about Irish immigrants? A lot of the chants and jibes from both sides of Glasgow football are deeply racist and sectarian. Friendly rivalry between teams is one thing but making jokes about a famine in which a million people died is straying into something a little less good-natured (as is the singing of rebel songs by the opposition.) Perhaps you should think a little more deeply about the validity of jumping on that particular bandwagon, especially seeing as about 10% of your own country is descended from those self-same immigrants!

It's Rangers FC and who said it was friendly :think: and i was descended from scots and poms so it doesn't worry me in the least. I kinda like the fact that it isn't politically correct and they just plain dislike each other and don't give a fuck what others think tbh.

It's all equal they make "tasteless" jokes about us so its all even.
