I like watching football. Before the match starts, I have no favourite team so I don't care who wins.However if see some cheating then I rather hope the team that cheats to most losses. I dislike any form of cheating.  Much the same for motorcycle racing and just about everything else in life.   If asked "what's my favourite (whatever)" I can't answer because I just don't have that sort of mind.
I am free of such nonsense.
As much as I have no favourites I am also free of hatred for things and people who just don't matter to me.
If pressed I'll say I like Jammy Dodgers but not grapefruit.
I've still got a few recorded NFL games to watch even though I know who won the superbowl this year.  I'll watch it for an Easter treat. 
Football is of course not so much a game and a competion to see who can cheat and get away with it. But the real fans don't care as long as their team wins. to them a fair game is of no interest.  One day, people may realise that Party politics is just the same, but somehow I doubt it, they just want to see their team win.  lol

From what I have read, the suggestion is to do the NC500 in anti-clockwise direction. Some have suggested the east side (Inverness to John O’Grouts) is pretty but a little boring compared to the west side. I presume the views are also more dramatic travelling east to west, but I haven’t been so can’t confirm.
