A unique specimen who supposedly calls him/herself a football fan, when in fact the majority of their already limited knowledge comes from Google Searches and FIFA games. These people hardly ever watch their team play, and have no knowledge of their clubs history, culture or chants.

A plastic fan is a sports fan who supports a certain team just because of their glory. Plastic fans will usually have little to no knowledge of their preferred club, and will get overly defensive when you point out their lack of it. They will also never go to games or even watch them on T.V. - When you ask them why, they will probably blurt out the excuse "I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE PLAYING!!!!" or "I COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO WATCH THEM!!!"
