Had my first game at Anfield at the FA Cup match against Southampton, thought I'd be all 'g'wan Conor do it for Tyrone' all over the place but when it came down to it I got weirdly shy and then felt like I'd let the side down. I was there on my own (and already a bit self-conscious about whether I'm a 'proper fan' as I only went from 'they're my family team, so...' to full on supporting a couple of years ago, please do not ask me any tactical questions) so maybe that was it? Hopefully next time I'll be sat with people who don't mind me temporarily being their buddy and joining in or even starting something.
There was a guy behind me who was on a tour with his son from the US - the son was doing training sessions at various PL grounds, and then they were seeing different games in the evenings - think they were off to the Manchester derby not long afterwards. I wonder what they made of the Southampton fans singing 'God Save The King' and then getting booed for it.
