Up the Reds

[Kontol]

Is my understand right that "up" here means the ball travels towards the opponent goal?

'Up the Reds' is simply expressing support for the Reds.

I'm wondering what "up" by itself exactly means in that sentence? Does it mean towards the opponent goal?

 

[5jj]

No, it doesn't.

 

[Kontol]

If it means a support. Could I say "up me" to mean the same thing?

I'm in action today. Up me!

Stop wondering this and just try to understand the meaning of the utterance as a whole.

I don't think that would work here. It's too much like "Up yours!" (Definitely not a show of support.)
