Mega Thread "I need to vent" thread.

[PicaBoo]

I could get guys like you to post what you think that I'm thinking ....which could mean that I'd have more time to do other things like clean my pet rock collection....and it would end up with more sensible posts in the forum

I doubt I can help you there. With probably the least exposure of AFL of anyone on this board, I do try to stay away from any in depth footy discussion.
You should definitely spend some more time on polishing your marbles. You will feel better for it .

So the guy who owns this site rakes in the money from advertising and he gets people to run it for free. There's an opportunity to vent here but I suppose that some people are very cluey in pushing others' buttons...

I have been to Brisbane, Gold Coast & Sydney this year and had emails from all 3 clubs claiming me as a member.
PISS OFF, I only support one club and it was the visiting team

Its a brilliant business model.

I was thinking about paying $20 and get the extra benefits but I wanted the premium membership where the boss invited me over for lunch once a month. I like to rub shoulders with successful people...

If there are any escalator engineers out there this vent is for you bast***ds.

Why the hell can't they get the handrail in sync with the stairs. I caught the subway into town the other day and on the way down from street level to the platform I had to re-adjust my grip 2 TİMES!!!

Yes that is correct on two separate occasions I had to release my grip, move my hand slightly back and re grip again. There are only 2 occasions when my hand should be doing so much work.
1. Raising a cold beer to mouth
2. Ummmm........well you know the second. No need to elaborate.

All you escalator engineers and manufacturers out there, you have no right to cause such torment to the masses.

I would've thought you'd be used to it

THIS! One of the banes of modern life having to adjust your hand on an escalator! After all, back in 1915 they got machine guns to fire in sync with an aircrafts propeller so the bullets fire through it without smashing it to bits. Well done Ottoman for being the first to bring the issue up .... ever.

Why do our own supporters feel the need to start rumour threads about us on the main board?
Pisses me off!

 

[Anzacday]

We need an auto delete on duplicate posts across multiple threads

Didn't like us being bundled in with teams that have won 3 flags in a row today it was disrespectful. We stand alone on top

'The Machine' was over 80 years ago. Hawks are doing it NOW.

 

[doodles98]

Drill bits ain't what they used to be. Not to be racialist or anything but F#$kin Chinese garbage metal breaks so easily now I don't know how they do it and get away with it. Didn't we used to have standards for products that they had to pass and a legal principle called fitness for purpose!! What happened to all of that? Spanners with metal too soft for the nuts FFS!!

 

[left at home]

yes unfortunately, the glory days are just something written in a book, why'll hawks are living it

 

[spartan-magpie]

I hate hawthorn. They deserve all their success.


We will be winning premierships sinner tha folks might think. We contend again next year or its Clarke at Collingwood in 2017 - having said that I have faith in bucks. He will leave no stone unturned. Can't imagine a person of his caliber failing when he's in the drivers seat and able to control most of the variables around him.


Pies 2016-18 dynasty on its way.

Means nothing the fact is that in the 86 years since it is a feat that no one else could match makes it even more special

Oh for gods sake. What was your favourite memory of 'the machine' side, that YOU SAW?

What so can we not be proud of the history of our club?

IT IS NOT RELEVENT TO TODAY! Be proud all you like, but the Pies of today are a LONG way behind the best.

So the history of our football club is invalid or irrelevant beyond our lifespans? We have no right to feel a pride in it or part of it because it was in the distant past and we weren't there to see it? It might be this way to you but it's not to others so perhaps respect that. Why don't you try that argument on an indigenous Australian or anyone who has strong cultural, national, ethnic or religious affiliations... see how you go. It is the same argument.

I just didn't like the 27-30 being lumped in with teams that have achieved 3 in a row as they went one better

It is irrelevant when used as a comparison to the best team in the comp.

You seem a bit aggressive today Jmac.
Have a bad day?

Whatever. 'The Machine' is irrelevant to our experiences as Collingwood supporters. The ONLY time I have seen a dominant Collingwood side was in 2011. We all know what happened after that. FFS let's stop pretending we are anywhere near the Hawks.
