“I wanted to keep it secret I was a Collingwood supporter. I thought the stigma might be a turn-off,” he said.

Well Sam, tell the judgmental to get stuffed! Barrack loud! Don't be ashamed! I copped sh*t all through school and continue to cop it at BBQs, work, everywhere. I feel like a red-headed immigrant rolled into one, the amount of sh*t I've had to put up with and made to feel like the lowest dogsbody. And I'll be [beeped] if I'll let the ignorant tell me what colours I should wear!

It p*sses me off that when my kids go to school, I have to prepare them to be bullied and teased for barracking for Collingwood. Just over a footy team, and they're made to feel different in a negative way as soon as others find out who they barrack for. It's wrong.

Go the mighty magpies!!!

Stick it up the West Coast toffs and every other club's supporters who have made us feel ashamed to barrack for the greatest football club in the land. Stick it up the bullies who make us say "I don't really follow any club, I just like watching a good game of footy" when asked who we barrack for, for fear of being shamed and ridiculed. Leave the shame and ridicule to the supporters who deserve it - Richmond, Melbourne, West Coast, Port Adelaide, the whole bloody lot of them!

Carn the Pies!!!

They hate us, cause they aint us!

There are Magpie supporters and those who would love to be

[Mr Miyagi]

Just at work now, co-workers who said they don't follow footy are now bagging Collingwood supporters. So I asked them why, what evidence. They stammered and stuttered and couldn't offer anything. One girl said her dad taught her to hate Collingwood supporters.

It says more about them than it does Collingwood supporters!

Carn the Pies! Stick it up the haters.

Need to add a snippet
Few years back at a GCS v Collingwood game at Gold Coast ground I over heard two kids about 10 / 11 yrs wearing GCS gear

They were waiting to get served at a hot dog stand and this was conversation

“” Gee I hope we smash this mob”
To which other kid said “Yeah I hate Collingwood “

These newbies to AFL following would only have gleaned that from parents or media

Just be thankful Melbourne lost last week. If Melbourne was in the GF, the media deluge would reach suffocation point.

The media clowns need to research before they blurt out rubbish like applauding Richmond with MCG winning streak cos from 2017 to Friday there were losses mixed in

Not wrapping them up but Geelong in season 1952 won 18 H & A games
Second Semi and GF and 1953 won further 3 before Collingwood journey to Kadina Park and stopped their run of 23 consecutive wins

This little fellow was there that day and the train back to Spencer resounded with Good Old Collingwood Foever every blinkin mile

Love being hated.
A couple of times in the last few years a few other team supporters began to feel sorry for us.
Now that is what worries me.
All glory to the winner and misery for the loser.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
May we have glory to us and STFU for anyone else.

Seem to have the stutters

Imagine how much Carlton supporters must hate seeing us in another one unexpectedly. They've been anchored to the bottom for so long and here we go again, about to equal them and the Bombers at the top of the Premiership table. I really reckon this one will be the sweetest of them all if we can pull it off. They must really envy what we've been able to do and it must p!ss them off big time!

Never be ashamed to support Collingwood. Be loud and proud.

Most people are told to hate Collingwood, but have no idea why they do.
