OK Darkman, "go me" , that's fine
after all you can't really say "go waratahs" can you
in fact, to be real here, the only team that gets the guernsey 'go' is , gosh, collingwood
some of us have to show integrity (!)
good old collingwood forever, we know how to play the game, side by side we stick together e.t.c e.t.c e.t.c.
there was a time Darkman, maybe before your day ?, heavens of course it was before your day (I'm an old fart) golly it was almost before my day, when for anyone of either gender or any age who would unthinkingly mutter under their breath 'go pies' in some neutral area would be pretty well bashed unconscious
if not physically (which has happened) at least metaphorically
it was such a Bad Thing to barrack for collingwood that I go out of my way to attend bloody boring games and watch bloody boring TV replays and read bloody boring newspaper reports of whatever game it was that collingood played
(I don't really care who wins as long as carlton loses)
I live in collingwood, I shop in collingwood, I work in collingwod, I support my neighbourhood, and my local footy team . I've been here since 1856 (gee I look well for my age) and there are still others living here who dutifully carry on the tradition
We're all stuck here like an afterthought on the central business district -- and are they cross or what ? they can't get rid of us , my own tiny place has a heritage listing now, hah !
Our new neighbours (arrived after WW2, over whelmingly greek-speaking) started in the early 1950s to quickly adopt the collingwood footy team
Nowadays every Con, Nick and Ari barracks for collingwod
as I said , some of us have to show integrity
it's still a class thing I reckon
and I still reckon laurence should picka team before he moves with his family to melbourne
something neutral
like backpackers do
perhaps hawthorn ?
