Saints Fans still bitter about the PF loss.

[possumfeatures]

While it is great fun to have a laugh at the Saints supporters, I have to refrain from having a go at them. My internal regime of honouring superstitions hasn't yet adjusted to the premiership and I am way too afraid of attracting bad football karma to let loose.

Mind you, if I was ever going to, the Saints supporters would be my prime target. I'm surrounded by them at work, in my suburb
(the supermarket was a nightmare prior to the PF) and even my social circle is dominated by them.

And yet I say nothing, although I have developed a rather smug knowing look!

Everytime my Dad hands me something or shows me something there's the obligatory "here it is!" It keeps me laughing.

I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing but sainsational is now my 2nd most visited site due to its entertainment value.
There are Saints supporters galore where I live as it is Darrel Baldock country and we have been able to see them play at York Park the last couple of years. It is true they go straight from being acknowledged losers to really cocky. The Sainters I work with for example are reasonable human beings until they experience some success and they become sooo smug it makes you feel sick. I go straight from supporting them as my 3rd team to hating them with a passion.

I hope I haven't been tooo smug and they say the same about the Swans Supporter. Note the singular as there is only ever one of me against the hordes of roos,hawks.bombers,blues,saints,cats,maggies.

Once their team maybe bottomed out a few years and got priority picks and started to have success, they believed it was their god dam right to win GF and that every other team must bow to them!
As speaking to their fans whom some are my friends they believed they were home "won the GF'" when they beat Adelaide at AAMI

I say let them stay bitter....forever....or at least whilst GT is their coach.

Well a friend showed me a thread at saintsational.com by Sainternist clearly bitter about the PF loss.

"I've accepted the fact that they deserved to win the bloody premiership, but every morning when I go around the Albert Park Lake for a walk/run I can't help but feel annoyed when seeing that Shytney Swines flag flying on top of that poor old derelect grand stand at Bob Jane Stadium.
They have nothing to do with South Melbourne anymore, IMO. It just makes me mad
If anything, a St.Kilda flag should be flying representing the best Victorian based team
Last night I had a dream where I shot a flaming arrow from a bow right between the eyes of the Swan on that retarded flag
Am I overreacting here?"

Yes, he is!

I agree. Backstabbers shouldn't prosper, although they often do.

"i nearly puke every time i see that ad on tv with the swans celebrating and surrounded by tickertape. should have been us if we were not cruelled for injuries. we'll win it in '06."

Still bitter and twisted and not facing the fact that they lost.

The best thing is that if GT hadn't shafted Blight, the Saints probably would have had a couple of premierships by now. With the list that they have...and a coach. Oh well...too bad..it's their bed they can lie in it ...and continue to lose

Gold!

It wasn't just the injuries. Their whole mindset is wrong. Cornflakes has been talking them up for years a la Daniher with Melb, but when it comes to the crunch they fold like cheap suits.

[craigusvegas]

the saints deserve no success. the saints and GT in particluar deserve eternal damnation for the infamous '02 draw. the worst game in history (apart from the fremantle '01 game) - the true ultra- flood-never to be repeated. why didn't thomas send ALL of the saints down to the swans forward line in the last quarter of the PF to try and stem the tide?

the PF win was all the sweeter for the saints cockiness in week before the PF - molly meldrum painting the premiership cup on his front fence was particularly amusing - right up until 3/4 time PF - that is priceless!!!!!!!!
kosi and del santo signing to stay in a premiership team is even funnier. not a snowflakes!

[Jeffers1984]

You gotta love Cornflakes for staying with the Aints. Any other coach who had a list like that at their disposal would of at least won 2 premierships.

Onya Cornflakes, we love ya work at the Aints!!
