His troll is based purely on the fact that we are Irish. I don't know whether he is generally a bigot, or it is just a poor attempt at banter, but it's ridiculous in the extreme, considering the basic premise of his rant is that only rich people can be true supporters.

More rubbish from Mr Know it All. Another poster who likes to comment on football and never goes.
It is not about money at all. Unfortunately football today is about high ticket prices. Alarmingly ticket prices seem to be more expensive than travel in many cases.
Still if you watch all your games on Sky Box Premium Plus it shouldn´t worry you so much.
It appears I was spot on about the amount of Big 4 glory hunters on here. Try going to a few games, its a great experience live. Stop making excuses about why you can´t go. If I loved a team as much as some on here purport to - 150 quid for a quality weekend to Manchester would be well worth the investment.
Your suggestion that I am trolling because you are Irish is laughable and shows the chip on your shoulder. A good mate of mine is Irish and has managed to accompany to many palace games around the country. A small stretch of the Irish see to cross over is hardly insummountable and Ireland is the economic miracle of the European Union, so many of you must have folding. Getting a ferry to Liverpool is another option.
Still I wouldn´t have expected to see many real football fans on a chess site. I hope your chess analysis is better than your footballs.
