Magpie change! Shock news on fm radio today

[Dr. Rock]

Did anyone hear about the change of the magpie in the emblem?
Eddie was on air saying in future the magpie will officially be facing to the left not to the right, reason- something about copyright with some american ball club. Not good news!!!

[Dr. Rock]

Ps what day is it today?

[Joel]

Assassin, it was a decision made by the New Magpies (Ranald MacDonald and his crew). They were supposedly embarking on a new era for our great club and didn't approve of the bird on the emblem looking backwards, so they changed its direction (to forward) as they insisted they themselves were doing.

GO PIES

geesh! no wonder we were hopeless during that era! you mean the old magpie looked like the one on the left below and the new or current maggie is the one on the right? they're both looking backwards in my opinion! If they wanted the bird to look forward then why didnt they design one without its head turned! Dunno who was the brainiack who came up with that idea.

[CQ]

haha good point, thats a stupid reason for changing it.

lol i wonder if they realised the irony that its STILL facing backwards.

[Mike]

Well that's what you do when you're in front... look backwards.

Not much point in looking backwards if you're down the back - so the look over the shoulder is a good look - in my opinion.

[London Dave]

Not an April Fools Joke?

[MAGPIRA]

UH-OH! Well the Magpie emblem tattoo I have on my shoulder is facing to the right! Too bad for me if it does change
