Pies Supporters

[Damien]

I was in a pretty evil group of Pies fans at our corresponding game in 2007 at the MCG and was coping some abuse from them, I was drunk and confident and yelled out to Nick Davis to compare premiership medals with Nathan Buckey and I didn't cop one more bit of abuse! not bad considering we got killed!

Just confirms what P46 and I agree on. Hawthorn supporters for whatever reason are a contradiction. On one hand they go to the footy overdressed, leather jacket and all (in the 70's it was roll necked white/cream colours) and exudue extreme arrogance, and on the other hand they have these useless bags of crap who goad and bait other supporters in numbers.

Example 1. We got beaten in a final at Telstra Dome by the team that wear the jumpers of 2 shades of human excreta, my boys were about 12 & 14 and this group of 3 blokes around early 20's walked straight up to them, and in their face, and started swearing at them because they beat us. We just kept walking. If that happened now I suspect a swift left, right combination would be the response from one of my progeny.

Example 2. Last game at AFL Park. 2 absolute base humans had their shirts off and were baiting anyone in Swans colours. Drinking copious piss they were running to other aisles to slag off at people. There was a group of people who obviously knew them, one with a kid about 6 or 7 on his knee laughing uproarously at them. You just wondered what went on these people's minds to think they were funny. They were downright violent. My brother and a close mate fancy themselves in a scuffle and were just waiting for them to turn on us, they did take a look and start to mutter something but realised there were softer targets.

I had never seen anything so mindless in all my years at the footy, and there were some tough nuts at the Lake Oval, and have never even remotely seen the like since.

P46 and my kids still label Hawthorn supporters as miles ahead in the idiot stakes. Clearly nothing has changed.

I'd rate them the worst as well. Some years ago in the late nineties some products of the most expensive education that money can buy, spat on my female companion and i from the first tier of the Southern Stand. Dead set dogs.

They have a very very large supporter base and it has all sorts. Unfortunately you tend to notice the annoying ones (of which all clubs have).

I totally agree with you NMW, although I have been to A LOT of games in Melbourne and Saturday night was one of the worst crowds I have seen. And before you get started, I have seen PLENTY of disappointing losses in my time so I am pretty sure that wasn't really a contributor. Maybe a bit of a contributing factor was the fact that there were less swans fans there than I am used to. I know we usually don't get THAT many, but I reckon there were fewer than usual there Saturday night. Anyway, I hadn't really seen it for ages, but Sat night confirmed (in my mind anyway) that Collingwood have more ferals than most. Their abuse of Bazz was unbelievable...they gave him a standing ovation (of abuse that is) when he came off at one point. All being said though, this would never put me off going. I actually had a bit of a laugh at a lot of em - was better than watching the crapola the Bloodboys were dishing up.

Income: $218.55
Rent: $60
Winny Blues for the week: $80
Goon for the week: $30
2 minute noodles for the week: $10
Cheersquad ticket: $20
Spending your last $18.55 on a Swans flag so you can burn it in front of your mates, and not having the tram fare to get to the free dental clinic again? Priceless.

You reckon he would've bought the flag??
There was probably some poor 5YO kid who went home upset and flagless because some moron in a gold Jacket and scary wig terrorised him and stole his flag and matches.

[Wardy]

I'd love to see someone burn his gold jacket.

It wouldnt take much being 100% polyester and all - his bleached hair would burn pretty well too. One BIC lighter and POOF!!!

I guess the club will have to invest in another set of time share situation dentures, obviously the other two sets (which have been on the time share program since 1957) have been thrown up in a gutter somehwere and havent been rescued from the sewer as they have done in the past. Or some canny fan (who actually made it to year 7 at highschool) has removed the teeth from the gum and re rented each tooth out singularly amoungst the faithful.

The thing I find funny is that Collingwood maintain they are the battlers club, the club for the not so fortunate & poor - yet they have the absolute best training facilities (Lexus Centre) walk out in Armani Suits and in a few years back they had a supporters end of season trip to the Wine regions of Provence !!
I would have thought a tour of a bottle shop at Resevoir (and see how much one could pinch) would have been more fitting for the true grassroots Collingwood fan - but I guess it takes all sorts.

Dont write off Essendon fans either - some those people scare ghosts out of houses.

But seriously all clubs have their feral element - just some more than others and it seems the Pies have turned it into an artform.

Trying to think of the Bloods feral element. Kenny Williams?

Nah thats the "old and senile" element.

All in all I had some tame pies supporters around me on Saturday night except for one dickhead. During the 3rd quarter when they were well in front, and this fellow sitting behind me, noticing that Brisbane were back on top of Carlton( and strangely enough able to do some calculations that if Brisbane won, it puts the swans in danger of missing the 8, I find it strange that a Collingwood supporter can actually work out anything with their peanut of a brain), started cheering for Brisbane and yelling out " GO BRISBANE, GO BRISBANE, I WANT THEM OUT, I WANT THEM OUT OF THE 8, GO LIONS". Well, its fair to say I took exception to this, normally I am a pretty quiet guy at the footy, unless theres a tosser sitting around me and then I give as good as get. I waited for the end of the game, realized that Carlton had won, which meant we were safe, turned and said to him..."mate, if Collingwood goes out in the first week of the finals, regardless of who they play, and the swans make it to the second week.... I am just going to think of your ugly mug and laugh and laugh and laugh". " its not going to happen mate" was his reply, and I just kept saying as we were walking away from one another" if it does though? if it does? I'm gonna piss myself with laughter". That was my only highlight of the night.

[BloodsInMyVeins]

All i can say peeps is.

Arn't you all going to have a Great day or night getting back at thier Fans, when the Swannies eventually do beat the Collie Wobbles.
Hopefully in the Finals when it matters the most.

Sad thing is, being up here in the NW of Aus, I wont be there to enjoy it with you.

........started cheering for Brisbane and yelling out " GO BRISBANE, GO BRISBANE, I WANT THEM OUT, I WANT THEM OUT OF THE 8, GO LIONS".

Goes to show what an idiot he really is.

Why would you want us out if you were a Collingwood supporter???

It's like a bye for them if they happen to get us in the finals which would be a huge chance of happening. Johnno, I'm surprised you didn't point that out.

[snajik]

I thought I would never say this, but Collingwood supporters are actually worse then Eagles supporters.

On Sat night we sat around some of the most feral, abusive, obnoxious, homophobic, dumb people/supporters I have ever seen.

They seriously say c... every second word, have mullets, are bad sports and are missing teeth! On top of this they seem to have no idea about football, let alone their own team!

I'm all for a bit of abuse at the footy (I certainly think us as Swans supporters are way too tame), but they went above and beyond with their actions, made even worse in front of women and kids.

Where have you been for the past 112 seasons?

btw - you forgot to mention 'racist'.

Yeh good point BBB, at the time I was pissed off at what he was saying and waited and hoped that Carlton got up so I could say to him what I said. It was the best comeback I could come up with at the time.

Hehehehe, we all think of better things to say in the car on the way home "If only I said ......."

[Doctor J.]

The thing about Pie fans, and no doubt it has a lot to do with their numbers, is they seem to have many more examples within their midst of the archetypical bogan, than any other club.

Not just slightly boganish but the full blown bogan is rampant. You know the ones complete with the no teeth, reeking of cigarettes, mullet hair cut, trackies, stolen adidas runners and fat gut bulging beneath a short sleeve Collingwood footy jumper complete with signatures and bourbon stains. Oh and why short sleeve? Gotta display the new tatts. "I luv muvva" or a picture of Bucks.
