Macedonia is not a country.. it's in Northern Greece.

Vardaska changed its name.. to Fyrom.. to Northern Macedonia.. no territory was gained into Macedonia. Borders have remained the same re.

So when you're referring to Peter Daicos as the 'Macedonian Marvel'.. you're actually referring to him as a Greek. I suppose it's technically ok to call him the 'Macedonian Marvel' just like it's ok to call Ted Whitten a great Victorian.

Yep Gimpo, though I don't get too worked up about where nations start and finish. At some point Macedonia was an independent state -- even if only in the time of Alexander. There remain cultural differences inside lots of states (the obvious is the north and south of Italy). Macedonia is probably its own little culture and ethnicity AND greek as well (i.e. inside the Greek state).

Macedonia Thebes Sparta Athens Thesaly in the Ancient times fought against each other.. how is a nation formed.. common bond and that re.. religion.. culture.. lifestyle.. etc.. the Macedonians spoke Greek.. worshiped Greek gods.. Alexander was tutored by Aristotle of Athens. You only need to look at an Alexander the Great coin from the Ancient times to know that that there has Ancient Greek inscriptions on it. They recently discovered a tomb in Macedonia with the mosaic of God Hermes messenger to Zues on it.

Macedonia is not a member of the European Union.. because its simply not a country.

The confusion between Macedonia and now Northern Macedonia ex this and that started after world war 2 when Tito ruled Yugoslavia at the time and wanted access to Macedonia.

If Alexander the Great was not Greek.. how does one explain Hellenic civilization.. or is that a figment of our imagination?

I was just saying that you can be both -- since Greek (or Australian) isn't one thing. Actually they're a bunch of things cobbled together.
 
If Joffa is correct in that he says the AFL want fans to be quiet at games (which they don't), by boycotting games, isn't he actually doing the very thing he says the AFL want?
I'm not sure he has thought through his stance properly

They get more Money from TV Channels with more Viewers
 
I was listening to Engelbert Humperdick.. oh **** I meant Humperdinck.. sorry sorry sorry to all you politically correct folk out there.. didn't mean it.. didn't mean.. he actually exists.. he actually exists.. pfewwwww

My Mum had that record!!!
 
Joffa has to make it all about him and be the 'hero' for the fans... Gillon won't apologise so Joffa is going to have to swallow his pride and slink back in. He will last 2 weeks without going.
I heard Joffa is definitely boycotting football. Guaranteed.
For Round 13!


(This may be as true as everything on the internet)

Well, it’s about booing, so perhaps it should be merged with the ‘Sorry Adam’ thread.
Come now Jmac.

One is a sensitive serious matter.

The other is a big silly AFL over the top joke.

(Love the cartoon above, the Boo Bus, very good, very funny)

So serious that it got moved to the nest...

That’s ok.
It’s not strictly Collingwood.
And from what I read, it has crashed into (in part) a Donald Trump flaming thread.

Sometimes sweating the small things, eg where threads are, is not worth the angst, in my view.

I’m sure posters visit the Nest and can partake if they wish.

Off topic posts can be moved without moving the whole thread.

I trust the mods in such matters.

However, Russell has a simple message for the Pies supporter.
“Joffa is threatening to boycott games, Joffa mate, stay home, the game won’t miss you,” he said.
“Collingwood greats like Tony Shaw departed the game and the game immediately moved on so they’re not going to miss the leader of the cheer squad – I reckon they’ll still bounce the ball in the middle.”

Unfortunately, it looks like Joffa has attended his last game of football, because there is no way in hell Gil is apologizing.
He has nothing to apologise for so Joffa's dug himself a hole, good on him for actually doing something about what he believes in though, instead of just whining about it online like all the other "outraged" supporters.
