Not sure why everyone is getting so triggered by this now. It's seemed like a foregone conclusion for about a month.
Its a bit like the Iraq war in 2003. We knew it was coming for months. We knew it was bullshit based on lies and supposition, and it wasn't until the bombs were dropped, that many people fired up about it.

KKK are dead to me.

I'll be at games but don't expect me to drink the ******* koolaid.
The players that deserve it will get my support, the rest will get my arms crossed silence.

It's due to the "If you don't like it, suck it up. We don't need to explain ourselves. Oh by the way, buy a membership." attitude.

I was going to write so when does the media blitz start that we need Co-Chairmen, Co-CEO's and Co-Coaches? and when do we blitz Kochie's twitter account that you have been an abject failure for 4 years and we need 3 more co's appointed.

But I think as referring to them as KKK might get a more immediate response. ;) :D :thumbsu:

I know I should be outraged at this, but i'm just not. It really doesn't bother me as much as I know it should.

The only thing that bothers me is the club couldnt be decisive and just make a definitive decision. There is next to no statistical or historical fact saying that this will increase our chances of winning a premiership. That's what disappoints me.

This. The club has just taken a steaming shit on a much loved tradition for apparently no real performance gain. It’s a weak and lazy decision.

It's as obvious as daylight there's co captains because there is no stand out leader. Why get your knickers in a knot? No one deserves the captaincy. They're the best of a leadershipless bunch. They all usually go missing when it counts. Time to prove otherwise.

I don't get the unhappiness with co captains personally.
But then I'm just a traditionalist....



..... in that the club does stuff it wants to and I just back em because I love em.

Doubt there'll be any passion around the ground when it comes on.
Hahaha... yes there will be mate!

The majority of Port members would already be over the co-captain decision, don’t fall into the trap of believing that a few posters on BF represent the wider Port supporter base.

For the record, I’m pissed that we have gone down this path and am now firmly in the no number 1 to be worn at all camp.

But for posters to come on here and call for members to boycott games... yeah, nah!

I'll be pleasantly surprised if the club comes out tomorrow and says that there was no one good enough to deserve the right to wear the #1 so we've gone for the next best alternative in co-captains.

The crowds were ******* frigid last season, bigfooty or not. This won't help.

Really not sure how ill feel when NTUA comes on.... those clowns our tearing our great club apart.

But the thing is, that when things are tough and you feel at your lowest and you feel you ARE being torn apart, it is the exact time you SHOULD be singing NTUA ( in my opinion)
