Hatred of Collingwood - What is the rational reason?

[WCErevival]

They come across as arrogant and the supporters feral. Being the most supported plus Eddie in the media means you always hear about them.

Jealously, how successful we are on and off the field, Eddie McGuire (he's very opinionated), and our fan base (which can be questionable).

Agree very jealous of being 8-3 in both 2014 and 2015 and then losing majority of the games in both years.

Prison bar jumper.

Its certainly not based on their success.

I was born to hate Collingwood. And I have my reasons as well.

Essendon are starting to come close as well. Generally speaking (which is not regarding to current state), they are rubbish.

Hawthorn are beginning to piss me off. Richmond, meh. The rest I can tolerate.

You've won as many finals as us in those periods

At least i have got to go to the final the pies have been a joke the last 2 years

Explain how Collingwood are the joke...?

3 finals in a row and not a single win. It's your club who's the laughing stock here.

there all full of them self and arrogant pricks also seem to think there the only club in the afl and everything revolves around them

The MCG is the Main Collingwood Ground

I dislike Carlton and Essendon far more.

Apart from McGuire I don't really dislike the Pies nowadays. I think the combination of massive Victorian club + perceived arrogance of supporters (sometimes founded, sometimes not) + outspoken president + old rivalries makes it easy to see why they're thought of as hated though.

1990. I was 7. My uncle who was a Pies supporter was an annoying campaigner. He'd remind me about it every chance he got, just to be even more annoying.

Yet Richmond averaged more in attendance in 2015, so much for collingwood being the biggest club

Because they think they're good but they ain't.

Because they dodged the draft to win flags in WW1 & 2

What a shame they couldn't win a final

 

[tonywilson43]

What a shame they couldn't win a final

What a shame collingwood could not win enough games to make finals

I've been to Vic Park, many times, no more has to be said. Lucky to tell the story.

No, it's fine. It's one of those pet hates i have with people using there/their/they're.
ie:

If I’m Here with a T, to you I’m over There!

If They Are missing the letter A, They’re poor!

If you talk to an Heir about gaining a T, you talk about Their inheritance.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Club's fine. It's Eddie McDisingenuous who is the eminently hateable prick.

 

[westie]

Gee, just because..............
Seriously though, looking at it from over here I reckon the locals hate them because they think it is fashionable just like booing Adam Goodes. They have no idea why they do it, it's just because it might be fashionable. Oh,

 

[PieLebo87]

Sounds like you hate us more than we hate you.

Fremantle is as irrelevant as it comes, why would I hate you? Have we even faced you in a final?

 

[Engimal]

I don't hate Collingwood. Maybe it's a Victorian thing.

 

[PieLebo87]

Dont hate them, they are usually mostly irrelevant as a football club

You're still sore after the whole COLA Eddie thing huh?

 

[shintemaster]

Don't hate them, kind of meh to me. I think the massive influx of money and corporatisation of football (of which CFC has been at the forefront) has eroded some of their culture. Just IMO.
