What happened Collingwood? Pressure too much?

[Macca19]

ohhhhhh what a pity Joffa!!!! Your pretend magpies choked at the last hurdle and wont play in the ansett cup finals, what a pity!!! Hold on...and arent Port playing in those exact finals!!! WOW...look at that, yet a nother reason why we are the real magpies and not the pretend corporate bunch down at eddieland.
Have a nice evening

 

[choppyhard]

Apparently the umpries cost them the match. No it wasn't there reliance on too few, turnovers and lack of skill, it was those umpires that beat the pies

 

[AlfAndrews]

Nothing "happened", Macca. We just lost, that's all.

And it's a bit rich for you to be calling us "corporate". Are you trying to tell me that Port Adelaide is, somehow, less "corporate" than Collingwood.

I'm well acquainted with both clubs and I know that they are both as corporate as hell. There are no non-corporate football clubs in the A.F.L.

As for choppyhard's comments, I'm not blaming the friggin' umpire for us losing. I'm blaming that dickhead Kennedy for one particular free-kick that the w***eroos got at a crucial stage in the last quarter. I'm not saying it cost us the game. It just pissed me off, that's all.

Don't expect us Collingwood fans to disappear because we lost a bloody game. We'll lose a lot more, I'm sure. We might even win one or two ... oops, I'm getting a bit carried away here, please forgive me.

Get used to it, Macca. The MAGPIES are US.
i.e. Collingwood.
Your lot are something else. You'll never be US.
So ... get used to it.

We've got NOTHING to be ashamed of.

And guess what?

We're not ashamed ...

... at all.

damn right, we arent ashamed
we got more tradition than a bunch of SA w***ers will ever have.

You will never get the magpies name, u would be a disgrace to it. If i had to put a bet on which club will still be running around in 100 years, it would be on the REAL magpies no doubt about it

you will never have HALF the support we have, and considering we are a losing side of late, wait til we start winning again. Then U will be ashamed, ashamed u ever bagged the real collingwood

We are the Man United of australia, just without the success. And when that success comes, lookout.

 

[play on]

Couldn't have said it better myself SS11 and Alf. Nothing to be ashamed of. We played better than most people thought we would.


They only have history in their own comp. They have no history in the AFL/VFL and nothing they say can change that fact. We are the real magpies. Port are not even the magpies. They are the Power. They only like to think that they are the magpies. We Collingwood supporters are going nowhere. So get used to it.

I know he said supporters. That's why I replied U TOOLBAG. Next five years eh? Might as well make it 10, or perhaps 20. You wont have Buckley in 5 years, and seeing as he's the only champion in your team now.........

 

[JLC]

LET PORT HAVE THERE MOMENT OF GLORY........LOL AN ANSETT CUP SEMI FINAL........WOW BIG DEAL......LOL

ITS NOT EVEN WORTH ARGUING EVERYONE KNOWS COLLINGWOOD ARE THE REAL MAGPIES.

PORT ADELAIDE ARE A CHEAP SOUTH AUSTRALIAN IMITATION.

[magpie_joffa]

HEY MACCA your an idiot!!

Dont come on here and talk about memberships you dickhead.
You come from a two football team state i.e if you dont like adelaide you follow nort power and vice versa.
We are competing with ten other clubs and let me tell you something idiot when you consider our lack of success in recent years we are doing quite nicely in the membership stakes.So dont give me this bullshit on your high memberships every year.

There is nothing in life greater,than to be a supporter or our beloved collingwood football club,we must remain united,we must stand tall,we must be prepared to fight for our glorious black and white,for we are THE ENVY OF ALL NATIONS.

Never ashamed to support the great collingwood.....NEVER!!!!

Joffa,

You have hit the nail on the head. We finished last and second last in the previous two years yet had 32,358 and 28,932 memebers in those years respectively. That is second amongst Victorian clubs. Im quite confident when we return to the finals we will once again have the most members amongst Victorian clubs.

Isnt it true if you want to go to Football Park you have to be a member ??

I love Port Adelaides membership figure last year of 34925. Yet at home games last year they only averaged 26,377 "people". How funny is that only averaging 26,377 "PEOPLE" at your home games.........lol

SS11 said, "Collingwood is Manchester United without the success".

carb70 replied, "And you're Albert Einstein without the intelligence".

I'm sorry to have to say this, SS11, but you really walked into that one. Even I can't save you.

I really wish Malthouse had never made that ridiculous statement about us being the Manchester United of the A.F.L. It's been biting us on the bum ever since.

Hey, Joffa

I'm looking forward to the day when Manchester United tries to claim that they are the Collingwood of the English Premier League.

Alf & Joff doesn't Man Utd wear red & Black?, just like that team that won the GF last year.

Very observant of you. And another good reason why the comparison is ridiculous.

THEIR TRADITIONAL COLOURS ARE RED AND WHITE, NOT RED AND BLACK.

JLC,

Most memberships ae bought during the pre-season and during the first 6 rounds.

In 2000, Collingwood, under a heralded coach (the recruiting coup of the off-season) won their first 5 games, before losing to the reigning premies in Round 6. You could not have asked for a better start in regards to membership. Magpie crowds were up, and because of their wonderful sart, memberships were up too.

Yet, you still didn't have the most. Essendon's membership has consistently been the highest for about 7 or 8 years now (among the Victorian clubs). It doesn't matter whether we were 8th (1998), 14th (1997), 4th (1995) or 1st (2000). Our membership has been right up there. Over the last 8 years, we havn't always been the best team in the comp. Some years (eg 1997-98) we have been very average.

We are on target for 40,000 members this year. This is a pipe dream for Collingwood. You couldn't even get 29,000, after winning your first 5 games. Heaven forbid if you get off to a bad start !

Manchester United are the Essendon of the English Premier league.

The most successful, the most supported, and the most hated all in one.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't they wear black socks. Or are they white socks that have gone black because they have never been washed. Also didn't they wear black shorts against Leeds on the weekend.

 

[Dan26]

Manchester United wear red and black. End of story.

Just like the Chicago Bulls, one of the worlds most famous sporting teams.

Don't AC Milan wear red and black too? There is nothing like seeing the mighty Bomber army pack the Great Southern Stand with a sea of red and black.
