    Yes please continue. Why did you stop? There was one more place named in my post.

      Anyways, Malavan is the perfect club to support, we have ba-gheyrat supporters, players ... oh and we don't have any separatist in Anzali
      I remember last time in March when Al-Hilal came to Ahwaz, a lot of the Ahwazi Arabs were supporting Al-Hilal instead of Foolad. Still most of the supporters of Foolad are Ahwazi Persians. Unlike Traxtor, Foolad is not based on any ethnic group or supporting any sort of nationalism. Its just a football team that represents Khuzestan and also southern Iran.

      The thing is that there are too many teams from the north and the clubs are not equally distributed across the country. Since I am from southern Iran, I wanted to support a club like Foolad instead of some teams from Tehran and the north.

      But thanks for mentioning Malavan and hope they do well.

          Lol my bad, I will make sure I will use Ahvaz. My own name is from Arabic but pronounced with a v in the middle instead of a w.

            I apologize to the people and supporters of the fake country of Azerbaijan. I understand all they were trying to do was to show solidarity with Iranians from the provinces of East and West Azerbaijan and thus included the entire group under one flag. As a sign of my understanding of their unity and intentions, I will approve of such a move and thus unite Azeri people of the real and fake country under the same flag and thus demonstrate how them uniting under one flag is not a problem:

              You should've included the rest of Iran too

                No this map is just to indicate the unity of Azeris outside of Iran with portions of Iranians inside of Iran under one flag. The rest of Iran obviously is included by default although the Azeris outside of Iran might not necessarily find them close with those others even though those outside Azeris are all still under the same flag as the rest of Iran.

                  It's really not contradictory. When we see the flag in reference to Iranian Azarbaijan, we don't make much of it other than that it represent Azari/Azeri pride, regional pride. Most of us don't see it necessarily as a political statement or symbolic of any kind of separatist movement.

                  You on the other hand are making it political, and bringing in your personal views about the country of Azerbaijan, questioning their legitimacy as a state, and claiming their flag "is an insult to 80 million Iranians".

                  And for the record I didn't post an image of the Azeri flag, I posted a nice song about Tractor that makes no reference to the separatist movement in the lyrics. You guys are taking a single image in the video out of context, arguably misinterpreting it, making it political, and attributing it to a whole fanbase/region.

                  I'm done arguing with you guys over this.
                  you seem very confused. i was not talking about politics at all. culturally and ethnically azaris are closer to an iranian arab in khouzestan than they are to arunians. real azaris will not even wipe their ass with that flag let alone see it as a symbole of pride in being azari. azaris have many things to be proud about and that flag is not one of them.in fact many are not only neutral to that flag but dislike it. if you do not understand this then it leads me to wonder whether you are a real azari or an arunian. you also do not know iran's states and cities so i am leaning towards you being arunian.

                      You can also support Azadegan league teams (second tire)

                      There are more fans attending azadegan league matches on average than IPL. Look at this two match played this week

                      Shahrdari Ardabil vs Foolad novin ahvaz (at ardabil)

                      http://90tv.ir/video/84082/%D8%AE%D9...F-%DB%8C%DA%A9

                      Nasaji Mazandaran vs Gachsaran (at Mazandaran)

                          Any decent teams out there to support?
                          What about Fajr Sepasi? They currently play in Azadegan League and you did request a Shirazi team. Also they have appeared in the IPL in the past three seasons, albeit not anything spectacular, and generally their performance was in the lower half of the league table (lately, just narrowly missing relegation) or relegation zone.

                            They are a Basiji run team which is close to the regime. They hardly have any supporters. More Shirazis support Bargh Shiraz even though their performances have been some what terrible in recent years.

                              Lol, it doesn't seem you have any viable options from Shiraz. We share the same predicament, although I wouldn't support Bargh at this time (when I was younger, I was sorely disappointed to find out they didn't play in top flight and I haven't changed since )
                              Have you heard of Bahman? http://fcbahman.com/ I have no idea which tier it belongs to, according to Wikipedia it's the second division?
                              EDIT: Maybe you should just stick to Foolad for now but Persepolis' doors are always open for newcomers!!!

                                Man hopefully in the future teams like Bargh Shiraz will come beck to IPL and Azadegan. The club is so underfunded and does not have a lot of money as it did before.

                                No, I haven't ever heard of Bahman but according to you and Wikipedia they play in the league division just below Azadegan. Hopefully they can do well in the future. Its sad we don't have many or even hardly any adequate Shirazi clubs.

                                For now I will stick with Foolad, and as I have mentioned at the moment I am not that keen on supporting clubs from Tehran and the north, where there's simply too many clubs there. Foolad seems to represent southern Iran and they have been doing quite well in recent years.

                                I also got to tell you from you signature I also support Real Madrid! So Hala Madrid!
