Yes there is a lot here martinb in what you say that is plain common sense. Inability to recognise success of your competitor and instead get one's kicks from pulling the "successful other" down is simply a small-dick syndrome. There is little difference between insecure rugby heads laughing at the All Whites and their 2010 campaign, and the "true fans" here who are unable to recognise that their northern rival club has done exceptionally well over both seasons of its existence to date.
I acknowledge that this might be my own cultural bias because I was brought up elsewhere (Poland), but man, the insecurity I sometimes witness here is simply suffocating.
