Toast #BringBackTheBars - Our Heritage, Our History, Our Right! Part 2

[Chewy316]

Jon Ralph reporting that Collingwood are extending a "peace offering" to Port saying they can wear the bars once a year if the white in the jersey is substituted for teal.

Peace offering? Ralph and Collingwood can GAGF.

If it were to ever come down to wearing the bars with different colours it is absolutely no other club's choice as to when or where Port wears it.

WTAF? If we were happy to sub white for teal we would’ve already done it. That’s not a concession at all.

This whole fiasco is getting dumber and dumber by the minute.

Absolutely taking the piss to have that as a Herald Sun article.

I know my contributions are not popular on this thread but I think Collingwood's stance here has potentially been incorrectly reported by Ralph.

The offer from Collingwood most likely would have been something like the following:

• Wear black and white original prison bars for 1 home game a year (i.e. Heritage Round or Showdown)
• Wear black and teal prison bars for other 10 home games

 

[Lagooner]

Collingwood now gatekeeping a hypothetical black and teal guernsey. Seriously how f@&king dumb is this getting?

100%. And Port is happy to play along. Stealth gurnsey as an alt and Kenny Hinkley as coach next year. That’s all we’re getting.

I suggest we not deal in hypotheticals and instead respond solely to the reporting, regardless of how factual you or I think it is. That you are trying to deescalate the situation shows to the absurdity of Collingwoods proposal if indeed Ralph's reporting is correct.

So they’ve changed their mind in a few days and made a concession?

Ok

Just makes them look even more ridiculous.

a) if Collingwood has offered this, Koch would've bitten their arm off already.

b) if we were going to bastardise the PBs for non-Showdown games, we would do it home and away and we wouldn't need any sort of blessing from Collingwood.

Collingwood can get nicked on making terms with us about our jumper for 100+ years. Piss off.

 

[Lagooner]

Excuse me Collingwood can we please have your permission to sh1t on our traditional guernsey in colours that you have absolutely no association with? Pretty please with sugar on top!

Is this from one of those satire sites?

If that's for real just wear the pylons and cop the 4 points. Utterly ridiculous.

To be perfectly honest I suspect Koch may have orchestrated this story to divert the media focus away from Hinkley.

 

[TeeKray]

This shows just how unrealistic it is to think we can 'negotiate' our way out of this situation. They literally wouldn't even let us wear a PB guernsey in black and teal more than once a year. The only way around this problem is just to ram straight through it and not give a shit about the consequences.

Only if you think the herald sun is satire.

I just felt some vomit hit the back of my throat.

Why do Collingwood think we'd need their blessing for that guernsey design?

Yeah,nah,tell them to **** off!

 

[JimmyBC]

I think it's more they want us to drop white from our official club colours.

 

[Powerade 08]

Because Port have given them that power

100%. This reinforces that they just think of it as a big joke and they've got zero interest in engaging in the discussion in good faith. They are happy just kicking it down the road, laughing it up that we should wear teal or magenta or whatever other bullshit they want to impose on us.

TBH its pretty offensive reading an article like that on a major news website that just mocks an issue that is actually serious to a large part of our club's supporter base.

The silver and white stripes would be okay
