Ronald's questions:
Why did you become an Inter fan?
Originally it was because of Ronaldo and Recoba in 1997, i saw the first game of the season and was left impressed. I was living at Haiti at the time and was actually a football commentator on my dad's television at the age of 9 or 10 years old.
Why did you stop being an Inter fan?
Being a moron, the first time i switch when i was 13 years old. Inter weren't entertaining and i lost interest quickly over any little negative crap. I was also a huge "player fan" and was jumping from bandwagon to bandwagon of the flavor of the week in terms of footie stars.
Why did you become a Milan fan?
Have always been a big fan of Shevchenko, don't ask me why in the hell it was our main rivals.
Why did you stop being a Milan fan?
Didn't feel right. Wasn't celebrating their scudetto, didn't lose my pulse at times like i did several times in the 97/98 or 01/02 season with Inter and couldn't ever cry like i did on May 5th, 2002. It just wasn't my team, no matter what i did.
Why did you become an inter fan again?
Inter is the only club that i have a history with and i have grown up watching. It's only natural that the black & blue colors actually mean something to me, other clubs are pretty unknown to me. My knowledge of football history is limited and living in the United States the coverage isn't too great. No matter how much trouble Inter has been in, i always keep coming back. That's the one thing that i can assure you is no lie.
Have you ever been a Juve fan?
There was a 3 year gap where i didn't watch football, this was after WC 98 through the summer of 2001. I was mad because of Brazil's lost and had just moved to Florida from Haiti because my brother had almost died due to basically the filthyness and all the bacteria and germs that surround the streets over there. Anyways, i was just settling in and still played football game - at the time, Juventus was so to say the "hot sh*t" and i just always played with them on Fifa PS2 games. When i got football highlights from FSW and Nedved signed for them, i started to really praise them and stuff. Started asking questions about them, but seriously.. nothing more then that.
Did you become an Inter fan (the 2nd time) because of Inter fans? a.k.a. Tim and the gang?
Absolutely not. Tim has always accepted me the way that i am, no matter what team i supported. I've known him since 2001 and we've gone through alot, and i thank god that he actually likes me as an internet friend. Tim, Tommi, Han, Jimmy, Jake and a few others are the only real buddies i have ever head from football forums and i hardly chatted with anyone from boards on MSN when i wasn't Interista. We've all been knowing each other for 3 years now, well most of us. The greatest thing that has ever happened to me on this machine called a computer, might i add.
Do you regret all that switching back and forth?
Of course. I will never be accepted for the way i am and for some i'll never be able to be taken seriously. However, i have just got to accept this and move on. I won't be able to erase the past and what i have done, and it's absolutely understandable if many Interisti do not trust me. I am fine with just having the opportunity to express my thoughts on FI and just chat about football.
Do you wish you never changed teams?
Isn't that what you just asked me you damn twat?!
Do you hate me now?
No, not at all. I knew this questions would pop up somewhere in this thread and it's better to have them now then later. Seriously, i've got nothing to hide at this point. What do you want me to do about it? most of the old members here know about my past and i chat with a whole group of people from FI on MSN.
I actually appreciate being able to let everyone know about me, the worst thing to do is act like nothing has happened. It wouldn't be much fun using a fake ID, really.
Anyways, there goes all the hope of the new members ever liking me. I'll answer the other questions later.
