Why so many countries? Haha. I don't like the Australian cricket team, but I've got nothing against their footballers.
As has been recited to me a few times over the years:
\"the song \"we hate Sheffield Wednesday, we hate Rotherham too\" is incorrect, we hate bloody EVERYBODY!\"
One town, one team, one love, one passion, one Rovers ;)

Likes
Queen of the South/Rangers (family)
Dislikes
Stranraer/Celtic (family)
Barnsley/Leeds (unpleasant experiences at both)
Clydebank when they existed because at an away game there with QOTS I had a can of Irn Bru confiscated from me. I was 11 at the time but was deamt a threat. Understandable in a way but the steward who took it not only threatened to have me arrested he then proceeded to drink the said drink in front of us. What a t**t. Only time I've ever really seen my Dad get angry with anyone.
-
DMNumber4 - One Fulham?
No hates - loads of not bothereds - lots of places where fans have behaved like knobheads, but then we have some of those too.
So - I really don't care about those teams.
-
Like Hibs, glentoran and borussia monchengladbach as all were substitutes for the rovers while i've been away. Like hamburg was on a ferry with loads going to the away leg at fulham and they were great fun to be around. bet they weren't like it on the way back.
Dislike Rotherham and Chesterfield for obvious reasons, despise bayern munich as they are the bas**rds who were fighting like f**k with us a couple of weeks ago whether we liked it or not. Dislike new Chelsea fans who think it is their god given right to win everything. Dislike Rangers because the heartless bitch who left me without a pot to piss in was a Rangers fan.
-
spell check here germanrover but i will type it how it sounds
'dan-ker-shan'
you say you like hamburg
well for sure hamburg fans love kevin keegan after time he spent over there,just tell the hamburg fans that keegen is from doncaster and you will go down well with them i guess
think i will have to put bham city onto me dislikes
for pure fact whenever i used to bet on brum they would do the opposite and my bet would fall apart

Likes
Newcastle, reason, one of the first footy shirts One of my older brothers mate wore in the 70's and thought it was a foreign glamerous side, doh. Met KK's family a few times while he was at Newcastle which reignited my liking.
Leeds, reason, well we are a town full of Leeds fans and me old man been from Skellow.
Dislikes
Rotherham, reason, Angel/county borough need I say more.
Scunny,reason, got 1 year ban from Glumford Park 1st season it opened after a steward knocked a rovers fan over the seats with a kid in his hands.
Millwall, reason, scum of the earth.
Regarding Premiership clubs (Newcastle here now included) I hate the greed that is ruining football, real fans are now getting priced out to make way for a special day out/birthday treat/hospitality plastic fans, I prefered listening to football and the roar of the crowd on the radio to watching the shite now served up on Sky, listening to 80+k fans at old Trafford and the amount of silence is deafening.
Something needs to be done to bring the passion back into football before it is too late, so many fans now believe the shite preached on SKY about how good football is and how it has evolved and it is total bullshit, they are making more money and taking the game backwards, investing in youth academies that produce f**k all, I am not against academies but to me it seems to smack of 'we invest millions in youth policies' when its maybe 1 players wages they spend.
Its the fans they should be investing in as they are the future but they are increasingly isolating the fans.
I would say of all Premiership clubs Manure are the ones I least like but actually admire what their fans are trying to do right now in buying the club bag from the yanks.

Only Love Can Break Your Heart RTR!!....a man after my own heart. Once went to see St Etienne (the band) and was mesmorised by the lovely Sarah. In fact the rest of the line-up could have had bags over their heads and I don't think I would have noticed.
-
Likes - none especially, St Albans City now - location, cheap entry, up and at them style, cheap bovril
Dislikes - Leeds. Significant number of fans intimidated my family after the Play Off Final - wasnt able to enjoy victory until off the tube. I will never forgive them.

qpr used to go and see them a lot when i lived in london in late eighties but always stood in the away end,good team though seaman,paul parker,les ferdinand and probably the best trevor francis
burnley always had a soft spot as they used to bring loads to belle vue in the old days,also worked around lancashire for a while and virtually everyone i met around burnley was a burnley fan,despite manure playing up the road, the same can be said in bolton
dislikes/hates rangers as a celtic fan this is a must

Arsenal - Love watching Wengers teams play it the way it should be!!
Any Yorkshire team - until they play us, then the gloves are off!!
DISLIKES:

Chelsea & Man City - Ruining football for the little clubs.
Millwall - For the minority of Idiots!!
-

Swindon - mate at college, remember the Anglo-Italian cup, used to watch them
Nantes - have a house in the Vendee and get to watch when here (usually August, so they have to substitute for Rovers)
Hannover 96 - have a German mate who supports them, he even sent me a tape of their cup win many years ago against Werder Bremen (I think) - I watched it through in German - it was 0-0 and settled on penalties!!
Soft spot for ..... Scunthorpe, had an uncle who took me a few times to the Old Show Ground when they were in old second division.
Dislikes - none really, though didn't like Chester for a long time, and reading this forum I suppose I should dilike some Yorkshire clubs, but only when we play them.

Dont dislike any team, they all have their pro's and cons. Obviously favour DRFC, but to me it matters not who a team are, if they entertain in any way, i like em.
-
Like
York City - Local side, shame they did'nt return to Football League this season
Crewe Alexandra - 2nd team i ever saw, first was DRFC obv. Reletives also support them so theres always been a interesting feel to matches against them....Unless its a LDV 8-0 defeat.
FC Barcelona - Seen them play to celebrate my 18th. No better team in the world other then Rovers
FC Oulu - Family in that area, plus the lesser known but much better Oulu side B)
Dislike
Leeds United - Is there really any point in listing the millions of reasons? The over-the-top-ignorant and arrogant masses would be a start....
Manchester United - Read above
Sheffield Wednesday/Barnsley/Sheffield United - Local rivals
Scunthorpe United - My first derby game i saw in the FA Cup...their fans, team, club in general have lead me to hate them
-
Came to this traditional (but welcome) out of season thread late so some duplicates but here goes:
Like:
Swansea (born there, my second team)
Brighton - the heart of football day
Dagenham & Redbridge (gallant fans at Stoke - there but for the grace of Sir Francis....)
Carlisle (great fans on last day of 2003-4 when they were relegated to the conference but only wanted to congratulate us on our championship)
Southend (how about that for support in the play-off semi)
Forest Green Rovers (also had a soft spot for them - if they do get a reprieve they will be amazingly the longest serving club in the conference prem - amazing for such a small community)
MVV Maastricht (great town)
Bournemouth for the same reasons as everyone else
Dislikes
MK Dons - identity thieves
Coventry (for their disgraceful handling of the Robert Betts affair when we were at our lowest ebb)
Boston (cheats never prosper)
Leeds (8p in the pound to St John's ambulance)
Derby (for pinching Greeny and Gareth R)
-
Likes
Portsmouth - Lived down there for a while and got into them through the lads at work.
Dundee United - All the lads at school had a Scottish team, and they were mine. Why I have no idea!
Dislikes
Southampton - Due to the Pompey connection
Leeds - Because they are cretins, on more specifically their fans are.
Sheff Weds - Because they think they are a massive club who have an automatic right to be in the Premier League. And their fans are cretins too!
-
I've resisted this thread for ages now. But I can't any longer.... So,
Likes:
Blades - I love Bramall Lane (well, I did just after they built that stand across the old cricket pitch. The most beautiful stand in football I still think. And I used to go see 'em when Tony Currie and Woodward were playing. They were just shit hot those two.
Brighton: great supporters, great club, great inspiration. Still got loads of Seagull friends even after all these years.
Stranraer - a bizarre holiday connection from my youth
MVV Maastricht - like Dutch Uncle says....
Coventry City - odd one now, but up until the Betts affair I would have put them as my second favourite club. Watched 'em for 3 full seasons when I was a student. Willie Carr, Tommy Hutchison, Denis Mortimer, Brian Alderson... A good side who were never ever going to win anything at all. Fun to watch. But Betts almost ruined that.
Queens Park Rangers: watched them, again as a student, the season after they so damn nearly won the first division title. Best midfield I ever saw: Stan Bowles, Gerry Francis and Don Masson. Just sublimely good. And they had Frank McLintock, David Webb, Davie Clement and Ian Gillard as well as Phil Parkes in goal too! Helluva side. (I must add, by the way, that my old Dad always used to say that the best midfield he ever saw was the Everton one of Harvey, Kendall and Alan Ball. Can't see it myself :)).
And finally, again like Dutch Uncle, Forest Green Rovers. Lovely little club and the closest side to where I live so I go watch 'em from time to time.
Dislikes
I don't actively dislike anyone to be honest. But I'm not a fan of:
Millwall - the most terrifying experience of my young life when I turned up there in 1978 for an FA Cup quarter final against League leading Ipswich Town. I have never seen anything like what I saw that day. Truly awful. Never been back and I never will.
Grimsby Town - for similar reasons to Millwall only this time it was their behaviour at BV that year they won Div 4 under Laurie McMenemy with old Matt Tees banging 'em in like there was no tomorrow.
Chelsea: thugs as supporters in the 70's, thugs on the pitch despite the likes of Peter Osgood and now thugs in the way they are contributing to the death of the sport as I know it.
Lincoln City - an unfair choice really but that was the place where I saw Kim Book barged over the goal line having caught the ball cleanly and the ref award Lincoln a goal, and, worse, that was the place where some execrable referee sent off two of our lads in the first half for no reason at all. As I've said on here before, my Dad, a large and usually placid bloke, was so incensed by that particular referee that at half time he started to clamber over the pitch side wall to 'excahnge some words' with the fool. As he was a JP at the time, that simply would not have done! So, despite my ire, he had to be held down. Not an easy task as those of you who knew him will testify. He ended up marching off to see the Lincoln club secretary to dmeand his money back on the basis that he'd paid to watch 11 players take on another 11. Not 12 play 9. As the secretary refused to hand over the cash, I've disliked them ever since. :)
