Yeah, this is pretty much the Dippers in a nutshell. They think they're the most pious team and that all football fans, whilst maybe not liking them, should respect the glory of Dipper FC. However, at the same time we all need to forget and not mention any of the bad stuff because that happened long ago/it was due to pushun/it wasn't really them but others' who were trying to degrade their name.
They're literally like the Catholic Church of football teams.
Haha that describes it perfectly.
As club they certainly do 'cringe' better than most; 'this means more', 'we don't have sponsors we have partners' etc.
Tbf there are similar posts made on here about teams raising their game against us, as well as constant conspiracy theories posted about how refs favour Liverpool. Every club has its share of idiots who talk biased and delusional rubbish. Although RAWK is a forum that has become so blinded to all sense and reason that it's essentially turned into a cult and anyone going against it will immediately be called a rag c*nt and banned. Thankfully on the whole this forum at least retains a semblance of balance and rationality.
Sure that's true, clubs with larger fanbases are always likely to have a correspondingly larger number of idiotic supporters.
But as you've said, things are on a different level when it comes to RAWK. Cult is definitely the right word. From what I've seen, even when some more sensible posters write a modicum of praise for an opponent, like saying that West Ham or Leicester for example defended well against them, they're inevitably rounded on by others.
The fact that fans of different clubs, including of direct rivals, are far more welcome on here than on RAWK is definitely telling.
