 Who is your "soft spot" team?

We`ve all got a team we have a soft spot for, aside from the Pars. What`s yours, and why?

Mines is Aberdeen.
My folks randomly bought me an Aberdeen shirt as my first ever strip. No idea why. It would be mid-80s, and the Dons were doing well in Europe, so I guess my folks, who knew nothing about football, thought this was a better option than either of the OF.
Still got a photo of me in a red shirt, looking bemused as to why it wasn`t black and white.
I`d love to see Aberdeen back at EEP, so I`ll be rooting for them tonight

Would be Livingston for me.

Lived there all my life, club on the doorstep and enjoyed their underdog story.

Doing some work for them now is great, but really missing my trips all over the country cheering on the Pars.

C'mon Ye Pars!

Can’t really think of a fellow Scottish team other than fond memories of Dundee Utd and Aberdeen in the 80’s and their European exploits. The whole country , it seemed was behind them at that point in history.

Over the years, I`ve lived within fairly close proximity to Carlisle United, Ayr and Killie and more recently the Edinburgh teams. However, despite my family leaving the Dunfermline area when I was only 12 years old, I could never support any other team than the Pars. Having said that, I can walk to Meadowbank Stadium in around ten minutes and I`ll go to watch City if I can`t make it to a Pars game. It`s nice and relaxing being a neutral at a football match, though I will admit to enjoying seeing my wee local team win and I hope they manage to avoid relegation to the Lowland League.

Aberdeen for me, in the early 80s growing up Peter Weir (ask yet dad/grandad kids) married the daughter of my mum`s cousin and although I went to Pars games all over with my late dad I always had an eye on the Dons score when we got home.
