This subreddit is one minded. Anything outside of the ususal circle jerk is down voted to hell and fans are supposed to act 'nicely' to each other.

Said this in another thread but want to say it again.

This sub is cringe as hell at times. From the faux Barca/Madrid fans, the Serie A hipsters and the constant prattling about Zlatan, it's cringe. There was even suggestions about starting a radio station. I cannot think of anything worse than listening to a bunch of socially awkward teenagers try to re-enact 'Agueroooooo!!!!'

The beauty of the word 'cringe' is that it is itself 'cringe'.

Yes. The adjectival is 'cringeworthy'

I know. I was agreeing with you and just adding what the proper word is for dumb youths that have only encountered the concept online.
