i am not saying i am better than anyone , but i believe there is and has been a hierarchy of reds , i wouldnt say i was the same dedicated red than the great bobby wilcox or lenny woods or phil mc keown of the famous wilcox tours to name a few .

No I cannot be a fan same as you as I don't live in Liverpool, not even in Europe, I have to fly for 12 hrs to get to London. However, that does not make me a fake fan, even if you say so. I'm not bothered.

vish i never said yo were a fake fan your not you are a red and that great , but as i put just before i do believe there has and is a hierarchy of reds some who i look up to real great reds .

Ok noted. I just thought that what is not real is fake, but then as you say there are also the real great fan, I'll just settle for real, I don't need to be called great etc.

There is no such thing as a fake fan vish in my opinion there's real fans and then there's "real" fans. As Faz said the Bobby Wilcox and Lenny Woods of this world who travel to every game be it at Nou Camp or be it at the top of Mount Killomanjaro

Can I just ask you a question Vish which will clear alot of things up for me regarding this subject and I am no way having a go at you or anybody else never mind questioning your support. I would just like to know why any person chooses to support a Club they have no way of being able to watch live. You see if I lived in a place I would want to support the Club I could see most weeks, travel with like minded fans to and from the match, have a drink before and after the game with them, stand or sit alongside friends shouting and bawling at the players, soaking up the match atmosphere, eating the stale pies and sausage rolls, not haha, well you can catch my drift, all this is taken away when you cant go to watch your team actualy play so I just dont get it, even worse if you say lived in the u.k. and you had a perfectly good club on your doorstep which you could have all the above if you supported them. Like I say I am in no way having a go at any fan I would just like somebody to help me understand what drives somebody to support a Club they will never probably see or when they can only attend a game once or twice a season, surely actualy going the game should make you want to support a Club close to where a person lives...

I think it's a fair question and he did say was not judging. That was not an OTT question for me and I would be interested in the answer too.

Anybody actually going to the Zenit game tomorrow, or know anybody who's going? Gonna be a tough one, I would take a draw if offered, but will be cheering for a win obviously!

No don't be silly no more than I am less of a fan because I no longer go to cup games

I gotta admit the question posed by CF is kinda like asking someone why they are in a long distance relationship? Because of love, it's not easy but it's doable with a bit of effort and it makes seeing your team once in a while when you do manage to get to a match all that more special...well at least that's how it is for me. I think about LFC every day and can't wait to go to a match again....
