Are you a football hipster

You scored 35 out of a possible 60

Close but no cigar – YOU’RE A BIT OF A HIPSTER! You love a bit of tactical talk and wear your 1991-92 St Pauli away shirt with pride, but deep down there’s part of you who prefers a cavorting mess of a 4-3 to a well-disciplined 0-0. You heathen, you. Still, you’re well on your way to zen-like hipsterdom

Nope. YOU’RE NO FOOTBALL HIPSTER! :clap:You like goals, goals, goals, pronounce Milan as Milan rather than Mee-lan, and quite frankly you’re not really sure you’d recognise a false nine if one came up and shook you by the hand. You’ve got some work to do. Start off with a video of the 1991 European Cup final between Red Star Belgrade and Marseille and work from there.

CONGRATULATIONS! You say Italian teams in an Italian accent, love stories of tactical innovations of the 1950s and prefer a well-executed lateral five-yard pass to a 30-yard screamer into the top corner. YOU’RE A FULLY FLEDGED FOOTBALL HIPSTER!

thing is i was actually watching a bit of the red star game a few months ago on you tube but TBH i was more interested in their support and the layout of the terracing in Bari than the game, mind you that was the second last proper european cup final before all this champions league crap.

i really need to meet up with @Rocko and @KenEarley more* , read copies of the Blizzard and buy some retro football wear so i can look like a complete knob in the boozer at xmas.
from my experience ( and its pretty good experience) mostly football hipseters have never played the game and rarely if ever attend a live fixture

*meeting Rocko will probably suffice

although a google search on the FC Carl Zeiss Jena jersey from the 70s has me interested in one

I gave up after first question.

I got same score as you.

I’d agree that I’ve never met a football hipster who was actually any good at the game. That said I’ve met very few football hipsters. They’re almost exclusively an internet thing as far as I can see.

It’s pretty obvious which are the “hipster” answers to most of those questions, even if you never watched a game of soccer in your life.

id agree tho, football hipsters are a bit like closet gays, they cavort on the internet giggling about the musings of online bloggers and various new age journalists they read on other forums and shite they see on twitter, they would be unable to talk about the game tho in the company of actual human beings.
How long would Ken Earley last guffawing and spouting shite at a LOI first division game? he’d get himself killed

Hed be fucked from the start with the head on him.
Unfortunately the definition of a football hipster in Ireland would have to be someone who doesn’t follow the English premiership, which is fairly sad when you think about it.

Yes. Dortmund are supposedly a hipster club to follow. No people like them because they play an exciting brand of soccer

Am happy with that result. :slight_smile:

The game should probably mean a bit more than who plays the most exciting brand of soccer though
