Recent status update on my facebook page from a brummiered
UTD 3 SCUM 1 and not one text from my mates from Scum Park...
I can take banter from Blues all day long but I really find this hard to take.I have already asked whereabouts in Manchester he's from and questioned why such vitriol towards Villa as were hardly rivals and shouldn't such hatred be reserved for Citeh and Lplop
Generally like to ignore such status but am particularly wound up by this one
Think I may be one friend down at the end of the day.Anyone else have annoying BrummieReds on FB who have a similar attitude towards Villa ?Do you ignore or take the bait ?
-
Ignore the twats.
-
I have similar with a Liverpool version (are they still Brummie reds), and i think his hatred of us is from the rest of his family being a 50:50 split of Cov and noses. He riles me far more than noses etc mates.
-
i have both brummie reds and devon reds... all clueless nobends to a man...
they are pretty easy to put down though tbh, as once they finish their little script about why the support manure, the fact is, they ARE glory hunting cockends, and generally when they cant argue back because you have out thought and out witted them, is for them to come back with the ABU card...
which makes me laugh, and winds them up even more...
i generally end up with telling them that i have more respect for small heathens, as at least they dont support a club from the opposite end of the country that they have no affiliation with whatsoever other than the happy coincidence of them being one of the most successful in their lifetimes, just because their dads uncles cousins grandads pet goldfish was also a glory hunting fucwit and once saw george best on black and white tv back in the stoneage...
clueless little wankers whos opinions mean about as much as what is left on my toilet paper once i am done taking a shit...
-
Fuck them, they have no soul. Just a bunch of shitcunts.
-
Take comfort in the fact that his penis is the size of a grain of rice
-
I'll never forget them coming out of their ratholes in their thousands when Man U won their first title in the early 90s.

Four surgeons were sitting around discussing who they like to operate on.
The first surgeon said, "I like operating on librarians. When you open them up everything is in alphabetical order".
The second surgeon said, "I like operating on accountants. When you open them up everything is in numerical order".
The third surgeon said, "I like operating on electricians. When you open them up everything is color coded.
The fourth surgeon said, "I like operating on Man Utd supporters".
The other three surgeons looked at each other in disbelief. One of them asked why. The fourth surgeon replied, "Because they are heartless, gutless, spineless, and their arse and head are interchangeable".
-
I've normally found people like this tried to support Blues first then got disillusioned with the lack of star players or general excitement and jumped on the whoever was at the top bandwagon.I used to work with a Blues fan who suddenly became a Man Utd fan,I just deleted him as a friend,with luck I'll never see him again.
-
Iv got a lot of mates from college like it. I know one who goes to games, makes the effort and isnt a total cock about it. The rest though, wankers when it comes to football. One said he wanted to change teams but "loves" United too much! Work that one out..
Then i went round the group and pointed out all but 4 people who actually support their club truely. One said iv been once though! Absolute joke, they think they go once or twice in a lifetime that there true fans! Its funny how there excuses are 'i cant get tickets'. What about the cup game the other week where the attendance was 60k? "Oh i dont wanna watch us play a shit team!"
-
they also often have a Grandads cat who supported them so are therefore fully justified in being a fan
-
Its makes the old adage true........Man U 'supporters' are just like rats....
you are never more that 30 ft away from one the bastards.
-
Support your local team or fuck off to "Mancland" or "scouseland" or shut the fuck up .....
-
I really hate the Brummie reds aswell why some of the thing's i've read on here rings true most have never been to Manchester let alone OT and they walk around in there replica shirts shopping on a sunday when Manure on the box i mean they can't even be bothered to watch it on sky glory hunting bastards.
-
The absolute scum of the Earth.
I've always said it. I have far more time for Bluenoses over these worthless pissants.
-
I'm not from Birmingham but support Aston Villa so i'm on dodgy ground but there do seem to be many thousands of them who don't go to the game because they can't get a ticket despite the fact they are quite frequently available on open sale.
-
There are two things Brummie Reds have in common. The first is that they are more Mancunian than a Manc - believing that city to be the best in everything. The second is that they have a 'soft spot' for Small Heath and regard Villa as the enemy.
-
In my local there is one guy who comes in giving it loads about how much he loves ManU, and how he shas supported them all his life (yeah right!), but when you ask him how many times he has been ... he suddenly goes quiet, because he has not once been to see them play at Old Trafford
Remember some seasons ago when Chelsea beat them 5-1 the pub were giving him dogs abuse he could not handle it and walked out in a strop!!!
-
that is a common theme with brummie and devon reds sid...
they like to give it out, but cant handle it when its given back...
i personally, put it down to an inferiority / insecurity complex... they have to latch onto a winner, because they themselves, feel like sad pathetic little losers...
-
I haven't recieved a response as yet.Think he might be trying to find out why Liverpool and Man City are their rivals ::)
-
A fair few up here in Huddersfield too, some genuine expat Mancs but also a lot of local 'lifelong supporters' (some in their fifties) who have never seen them play. I have the bonus of being able to call them traitors to their county, and reminding them of the Wars of the Roses.
-
I've got one that constantly does updates during games, does my head in, in fact I barely know the div so should just delete him, I would'nt get to moan then though
-
Just ignore them. Sad little individuals who don't really like football, but pretend to because it's fashionable.
-
An ex of my ex was a Yorkshire Red. He apparently taped over a home video they had of a party with 'United: Beyond the Promised Land'. She, in an act of revenge, taped over it with some chick flick. He never noticed.
Most of the Reds of I know do actually follow the team. One friend of mine spends everything she has on following them in Europe. I respect that, just like I would do for any supporter who did the same. All the Liverpool supporters I know, by contrast, have never been to Anfield in their lives.
I've also got a Chelsea supporting mate who, when I posted photos of last year's semi on FB, took issue with my comment about the ref being a pile of Blues. When I remonstrated, he said that he was yet to see it as he now lived in Canada and he'd been too tired to watch it.
-
They are sad bastards, even fans of liverpool and manure probably hate them as they are usually the ones who show up on tv and add to the stereotype of being gloryhunters.
-
i remember being at a plymouth argyle game a few years ago and they were losing, and all you could hear all around in thick westcountry accents (i would say broad, but thick covers so many elements of what i am saying) were "ees nut loik runaaaaldou at moi maaan uunoitidd", and similar comments...
dumb shits...
-

Correct
-
I treat them in the same way I treat Rangers and Celtic fans who aren't from Glasgow. By laughing at them.
No point entering into any serious conversation with them.
-
I grew up in Shrewsbury so have had gloryhunting accusations thrown at me over the years. Aside from my own personal reasons for following the Villa I maintain it is considerably different from following whoerver's on top of the league. I wonder what happened to the Blackburn fans who cropped up in the mid 90s?
When I was at school there were far more Liverpool than Man U fans as they were the team of the moment. This is one of the reasons why I still loathe the two of them the same despite one being considerably crapper, they're 2 peas in the same gloryhunting pod. I remember speaking to a Liverpool gloryhunting mate of my brother's who didn't seem to notice that his reason for supporting Liverpool, "I thought Kenny Dalglish was brilliant" was exactly the same as the kids of the time saying "I love David Beckham so I support Man U"
-
If you don't live in, or come from Birmingham, but follow the Villa, its hardly glory hunting is it?
Mind you, in a couple of years time.................
-
Met a lad at Aston Uni originally from leeds who was a man united fan. Sound enough lad but thats a brave choice...
-
I always say the same thing to glory hunters of any team.
Ask them who they support during the world cup and why. No more need be said.
-

Geoff Boycott - professional Yorkshireman, glory-hunting Man United fan, girlfriend beater.
There's nowt much to like about him
-
The last story I read of a Gloryhunting 'celebrity' twat was one of the ones from X-factor.
He was recently doing the football focus scores prediction with Lawro on the beeb, and it said
'Essex born Olly Murs, a Man UTD supporter'.
Wanker - nuff said.
-
They are normally found hanging around pubs on their own with a slightly out of date reds shirt on when the live footy is on. They don't quite know all of the rules of the game and would struggle to tell you which team is playing home. Then they start to grin like a cabbage when the reds score and splurt out the odd "championies" whilst not really looking at the TV.

Correction. There is nothing whatsoever to like about him.
-
Ask a Brummie Red who their second team is.You can guarantee the answer will be Inter Milan or Barcelona
-
my friend at school in the mid-late eighties maintained he was only a liverpool fan because of his interest in fishing, he liked the word pool (fish-related?)and I guess it was near the sea...I always wondered why he didn't follow grimsby

I find the concept of people having a second team hard to understand
-
Brummie Reds = Bluenoses in disguise.
Don't believe me? Then there's a simple litmus test to prove it. Just mention Villa in a favourable light, and watch them bite your head off. They can hide most of their true colours, but not their hatred of all things claret and blue.
-
If you ever have the misfortune to watch a game live with one its unbearable. Raised on a diet of Red MOTD highlights/DVD's they have no perception of the 90 minute duration of an actual game. After 5 mins they are bored.
The World Cup/Euro Championships summers analogy is true........why are they wearing England tops?.....some wear Argentina tops which make them double hated.
-
Fucking losers.
Belittle the ******.

I remember listening to Paul Frank's Radio WM show on the day of Man Utd's last European Cup final when he interviewed Birmingham's outgoing Lord Mayor (can't remember his name but he was an Irish chap). After chatting about his job, Franks mentioned that he heard the Lord Mayor was the chairman of the official Man Utd's midlands supporters club and he questioned him on why so many people in Birmingham supported Man Utd over a local club. He replied that most of the Brummie Reds he knew were actually fans of Birmingham City as well as Man Utd.
I didn't need proof that Brummie Reds were actually Blue Noses in disguise because I've always known it, but it was certainly nice hearing it officially confirmed.

Yep sons of lapsed noses who aren't allowed to support us, ditto black country sons whose Dad support Albion or Wolves. I know of examples of season ticket holding wolves fans who have suffered this way.
-
Brummie Reds and 'Noses have an affinity due to the disparity between the teams. They will never be rivals so can comfortably rub shoulders, and of course feed each others paranoia and hatred of us.
-
Now, what's the difference between them and that Port Vale supporter we welcomed with open arms because he wanted to follow a Premier League club?
-
i personally, put it down to an inferiority / insecurity complex... they have to latch onto a winner, because they themselves, feel like sad pathetic little losers...
That’s about the size of it, I think that they are basically very insecure people who have latched onto them to feel more successful in their own lives. I for one can never grasp the concept or understand the mindset of supporting a team where they are not from/live or don’t have any links with, surely they must feel that Man U/Chelsea/Liverpool etc doesn’t really belong to them and they are cheating themselves? And do they ever question why other fans do support Villa/Blues/Accrington Stanley etc!
-
I know one lad who I met back when I was 10, when he joined our school. Didn't like Football. By the October he supported United. Reason? His Granddad used to live in Manchester. When? About 20 years before he was born.
If you wind him up enough these days, he uses the 'United were 9th in the league when I started supporting them' line.
Another lad I know, has converted the other way (a rare one), and is now a Villa fan, since about 2007/8. Actually used to go to the odd United game, then by his own admission, got fed up. Bought a ST in the Holte Upper, bought a Villa shirt, took an interest. Quite a strange one...
-
The other thing that irritates me is that they not just support a team from either Liverppol or Manchester but they go anti brum on all other issues. The 2nd city debate/humour of the scouser all 'better than crappy Brum' drives me mad. Go and chuffin live there then !
-
Now, what's the difference between them and that Port Vale supporter we welcomed with open arms because he wanted to follow a Premier League club?
Because he wanted to be a Villa Fan and this is a Villa website ? That and it's hardly glory hunting is it.

It is when you're in the proper fourth division.
-
I guess so, the other thing is we are very lucky to support this team, I had no choice I was born into it, to have the same passion for another club similar ish like say a Sheff Wed would be really tough.
If I wanted to support another team, and I never will, there really is only a handful of clubs better than us. In a lot of aspects none.

That would have been Mike Nangle. He was a great bloke (died a year or two ago) and was a friend of my Dad's. One year we went up with him on the Brummiered coach to Old Trafford for the Villa match. The year? 1983 :)

2 things
1 They all respond the same in this situation
"so who do you support then?
" United"
" but you're from Norwich" (insert any town/city here)
" Yeah but I've always supported them"
No you haven't you lying Sod, you just jumped on the bandwagon
2 A while back I lived in Chester. Everyone supported UTD or 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'. Never go to the games mind you. They used to really have a go at me for being a Villa fan. So one day in a pub I get asked again who I supported so I changed strategy, told 'em my maternal Grandmother was from Madrid, so we have always followed Real. Even rubbed it in by saying we could only get to 2 or 3 games a season nowadays, even lied about the great night in Berlin when we won the European cup. None of them were any wiser, still they never gave me any stick anymore, even when I owned up to supporting Villa.
-
I think the massive marketing policies of Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal don't help- go in any sports shop in any town and their merchandise will be all over the place. There's a culture of the successful teams hoovering up the floating football fans in towns and cities where the silverware seldom puts in an appearance. Northampton's a good example- my mum moved there a few years ago, and I went round the sports shops there in the summer hoping to pick up last season's white away shirt at a bargain price. Sky 4 gear in every shop, and nary a Cobblers shirt to be seen! No white Villa shirts either.
We may have history and tradition behind us, but that won't sway the armchair fan who has no knowledge of, or respect for, this.
Of course, coming from Stone in Staffordshire, a place where Stone Old Alleynians (http://www.clubwebsite.co.uk/stoneoldalleynians01/) were my local team, my choice of football team may be called into question! I suppose it boils down to wanting to support a local team, but being rebellious enough to not follow my mum's team (Wolves), not rebellious enough to go completely against the family tradition and support WBA, not wanting to jump on the Man Utd/ Liverpool bandwagon that most of my school friends had jumped upon, and not racist enough to support either of the Potteries clubs (apologies to Bunny or any other SCFC posters on here, but when I lived and worked in Stoke I was regularly disgusted by the attitude of a great deal of my colleagues and customers there, and I came back to Brum as soon as possible!)

So, am I a cheshireclaretandblue? I wasnt born in Birmingham, but just outside crewe, where the population tended to follow Liverpool or Man Utd (My family are split for one or the other). I remember watching a game as a little kid, and watched this fantastic team pummel those dirty Manx bastards, and thought thats my team. Some 25 years later I still follow that team, with a ST. Ironically, although as the crow flies I am closer to Goodison, Anfield, or Madchester/cockneymanx, I can get to VP faster from home, so argue it is actually my "local team" I still follow Crewe (hence why I cannot stomach the thought of Stoke), and go to some home games at Gresty Road, (Gradi still tries to get them to play football rather than long ball), but Im a Villa fan/supporter, and proud of it. Does this make me the same as the so called filthy brummiereds?

No.You can't be accused of Glory Hunting can you ?
-
that made me laugh! A little bit more glory wouldnt go amiss granted, but glory hunting itself seems such an empty life. You dont appreciate the little successes, which can be just as good as the silverware. I wouldnt change my team for anything.

i watched the man u v Villa game in my local pub with my son,
when Man U scored the whole pub erupted, when Villa scored just me and the lad cheered.
thats just how i like it
-
One year after coming back from whichever defeat it was at OT, we stopped at the Scott Arms. A coach pulled up in front of us with a Brummie Reds flag in the back window, 4 or 5 lads get off, the coach pulls away...
They were Brummies all right, they certainly knew their way around the back streets of Great Barr!
Can't stand the twats, i have much more respect Bluenoses for supporting their local team.
-

Great post, it was almost the same for us and we were in Solihull on Tuesday and all the noses were out supporting manure... when the rags play other teams on tv I don't cheer their opposition on by screaming at the tv, I just watch the game and usually laugh as their performances are terrible but I got the feeling the rags fans go out of their way to hate us as they are obsessed with us.
-
You should see the amount of gloryhunting bastards down this end of the country. Hardly any of them have seen their teams play in the flesh and only follow them on sky. Then they start questioning why I follow Villa "because its in my blood and I grew up supporting them whilst standing on the terrace not sat in a bloody armchair"
-
Went into HMV in the city centre the other day and had a browse through the Football DVDs.
Saw an Aston Villa one there - 100 Greatest Goals.
Next to it was the Blues one - 100 Greatest Corners won.
Next to that was the ManUre one - 100 Greatest Referee Decisions.
-
Just tell them that, no matter what they win, the League, the FA cup or the big cup, it will never mean the same to them as it would mean to us. That gets them every time.
-
The thing Brummiereds will never have, is the ability to engage in the same banter you get with Blues and Albion fans. Whilst it still hurts to lose to Man U or the Liverpool, I can't take them seriously when they try to dish out the next-day gloats.
Beat the Blues, and you go at the Bluenoses with relish, and vice versa - it does actually mean something. there's build-up, tension, and then intense workplace gloating or misery the next day. With the reds - so what?
Also, why is this a phenomenon with these two teams - why don't Arsenal seem to attract the same amount of non-London followers?
-
Brummie reds = Closet Blues fans.
Usually find it's the gloryhunters who give them the twat following as it's the complete opposite when I work around Manchester and get speaking to some of them about football.
-
My oldest brother started out as a Man Utd fan, because my cousin was. Then he became a bluenose after fraternising with a bunch of knuckledraggers. If he suddenly started hanging out with The Wurzels I expect he'd be into tractors and cider. Aside from him, and his son, our family is all Villa, apart from another cousin, who appears to have had his brain removed at birth. He's a knuckledragger too. A really bad one.
-
I'll go along with the concensus that most Brummie Reds are noses without the spine to put up with the constant, unremitting, perpetual misery of following that lot.
-
I used to really tear into a couple of Brummie reds at work (one Manc, one 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'). I was warned I may get in trouble for bullying, so had to calm it down a bit.
-
I cant be arsed to give them the satisfaction of expending energy taking the piss, as soon as I know I am talking to a glory hunter I just roll my eyes and break off conversation to speak about anything other that football. Its a real struggle to think them worthy of speaking about football with as an equal.

This is very true.Overheard a conversation with 2 Bluenoses in a lift so had the one guy down as a Bluenose.A few weeks later we were out and I forgot who he supported so I asked him and he said Man Utd-cock!
-
if i meet someone for the first time, and they say they support Man Utd or Liverpool,
there stock drops in my eyes straight away,
i know its a bit predudiced and sometimes they still turn out to be good sorts,
but if they say Middlesborough, Bristol City, Blackpool, Fulham, Northampton etc, i instantly think a bit more of them for no apparent reason.
i know its daft, but its just the way it is
-
If I was interviewing somebody for a job in the midlands and having done all the bit about the job etc thinking they might be worth employing and then noticing that one of his/her interests was football I would inevitably ask the question which team.
If they said ManU I would disregard everything they had said earlier about their personality and thinking. I would then give them the benefit of another 5 minutes to tell me why. If that didn't stack up as it should ...such as, I'm from Manchester, my Dad's from Manchester and I've been to loads of games with him etc .. if any other excuse came out I would only be left with the conclusion, there is an underlying insecurity with this person and would say "thank you for your time, we'll be in touch".

I don't think its daft at all. When grown men from areas other than MCR and Lpool claim to "support" these clubs but never attend you've got to question their personal qualities.
Football is much more than a game to me - its about community and local pride. Going to the game with your mates and supporting them through thick and thin. The gloryhunters will never understand that.
-
I think we should all kick a Brummiered in the back this weekend.
Just to show we wont stand for these sort of left handed rank outsiders.
-
I have man living next door to me who 'supports' Man United. Brummie accent and everything.
Stopped laughing when I took money off him a couple years ago when we had a bet on the Champions League final.
He's alright, nice chap and isn't one of those glory hunters who feels the need to wear a Man United jersey or cap all the time.

I don't think its daft at all. When grown men from areas other than MCR and Lpool claim to "support" these clubs but never attend you've got to question their personal qualities.
Football is much more than a game to me - its about community and local pride. Going to the game with your mates and supporting them through thick and thin. The gloryhunters will never understand that.
Indeed, the reasons they give are pathetic, 'my grandad bought me a kit when I was 7', well my grandad bought me a pirates outfit but I dont go round shouting 'arrrrrr' nowadays, cause everyone would think I was a ******, same as if I were a Utd fan.
A real lack of backbone.

I work with a guy who was born in Erdington and supported Liverpool because 'he just hated Villa'. That was until two years ago when he bought a season ticket at the Sty. Read into that what you like.

Sad, lonely people who would follow the Blues if it wasn't for the fact that they need to crow about a team from a city for which they have now affinity or family ties winning trophies.

If you want some fun, start talking about Man Utd's recent history. Watch the panic in their eyes to go with the glazed expression as they won't have a clue what you're on about.

I read into it that he is an arch cleft.

They are a worthless bunch of cock jockeys. I cant stand small heath fans but even those pond dwellers are miles ahead of those glory hunting tossers

I've heard my brother use the phrase 'ABV - anything but Villa', which helps me to understand where he's coming from. It also helps me to understand more about Small Heath and its fans. Hardly any of them go to watch the games, yet there are thousands of them who claim to support the team. I suspect, however, that Small Heath is little more than a banner of hatred for them to stand behind against Villa. Their delight when we lose is as great as when they win. If they do win, they can't wait to tell us, to rub our noses in it, as if we care. When was the last time you texted a nose after a Villa win? If you take the hatred for Villa out of Birmingham City, there would really be nothing left. They are the ultimate parasite club. Like Brummiereds are the ultimate parasite fans.

Closet noses.
That is all.
