Some very kind words about Port Adelaide on news.com.au.

Oh, and some other stuff about some other club too.

The Maleficent Seven. These are our least lovable sports teams

3. The Adelaide Crows
Dejected faces as Crows players and coaches learn that stocks of shiraz are slipping dangerously low in the clubhouse.
From day one, when they adopted the South Australian State colours, the Crows stamped themselves as arrogance and egotism personified. Their cross-town rivals, the Power, might once have been the malevolent, evil force of South Australian state footy, but there’s something gutsy and admirable about the Power these days. Not so the Crows, who have become chronic under-achievers on the field, and

MOST LOATHSOME OF ALL… are the fans, who don’t have an ounce of sportsmanship in their delicate bones , and who routinely walk out of matches early when their little darlings are behind on the scoreboard, so they can scurry off to the nearest wine bar.

Mark Robinson seems to have less idea than Robert Walls.

You are too sharp too have just worked that out.

Is everything ok?

That was nice, but I miss the days when we were viewed as "the malevolent, evil force of South Australian state footy".

I hardly ever see Robbo on TV but to not even know who was in the 8 last year then sit there rocking back and forth like one of Hebb's monkeys was just a little disturbing.

Yeah but that was because we were successful, not because we believed we were owed success because of who we are.

Walls is intelligent and vindictive which clouds his otherwise not horrendous commentary.

Robinson is dumb and too much of a fan boy to be taken seriously.

There is a fantastic thread on Robinson on the media board. Some people have taken the time to point out his murderous contempt for the English language and it is hilarious.

These kids haven't been around long enough to understand that just yet. But if the K's get it right they'll understand in no time.

The Cult of Robbo

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/the-cult-of-robbo.671878/

Hasn't bee updated for a while but some solid gold in there.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

And a volume 2....

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/the-cult-of-robbo-volume-2.927032/

Some magnificent reading in there.

Clearly I've been missing out on some extraordinary insights for a while. Probably because I have to spend so much time moderating your posts Eddie Dingle

Crumbs, and I thought accuracy in journalism had disappeared. Could not have summarised that franchise and loathsome lot any clearer.

 

[yepits2020]

Sorry, don't know how to create link with the tiser, but there is an article about the loathsome lot fabricating chants. Consisting thinking of a franchise where everything is made up. I don't know how they are going to get the sound of knitting needles above the sound of the crickets.

I think the point I was trying to make earlier is that Robinson is too stupid to be vindictive.

Those two threads are Exhibit A and Exhibit B.

The prosecution rests.

Oh yeah I never thought he was vindictive. I only made the comparison to Walls because he is universally agreed as being shall we say not fully clued up on what's going on in the AFL (even he admits he doesn't watch every game each round).

Really hate this.
Even back in 2011 when we were getting smashed I would sit down and support my club until the final siren.

The only point of order is the "winebar" remark.

Thanks to their catch-all marketing, the Crows supporter base contains a huge portion of the most rabid, uneducated, classless and just god-awful humanity South Australia has to offer. From Elizabeth to Noarlunga Downs and back.

What's worse is due to their inherent feeble-mindedness this particular gaggle have hitched their wagon to the Crows=Chardonnay/Port=Feral stereotype to such an extent that their visceral hatred for Port Adelaide and its fans borders on racism, turning the once-friendly Showdown rivalry down a decidedly dark path.

My favourite is the socialist-left-leaning, eastern suburbs, arts officionado who attends Womad religiously and tells their children to love and respect everyone of all cultures... except the bogans at Clipsal and feral Port Supporters.

Let me just clarify that no one likes the bogans at clipsal, whether they be port adelaide or adelaide inclined.
