To all the Essendon supporters who left

[raskolnikov]

when Collingwood were 14 points up.

SUFFER

 

[OzBomber]

I was thinking of starting a thread like this as well. ****ing bandwagoners. Absolutely ridiculous. How could you do that with more than 5 minutes left and such a small margin.

Lol two ladies next to us left at the 17 mins mark in the last quarter. I still can't believe we won it though, we just had this burst of pace

 

[raskolnikov]

Two ladies in front of me left. One of them said, "Let's go" and the other one said, "No, let's wait and see if Paddy gets the ANZAC medal". The other one replied, "Nah a Collingwood player will get it." and they left.

 

[gdaytiger2001]

I'VE got one word for you Connex! It sucks!

 

[abers47]

SUFFER!!!!!!

 

[Drummer_19]

Yep, I thought the same thing when I saw people leaving Absolutley soft to leave at that stage.

 

[Sam the RAMA fan]

Even better.
I had a Collingwood supporter next to me in an Essendon members section, and he was standing up saying "Oh, you're going now are you Essendon fans...hahaha bye bye...bye" Did that slap him right in the face. SUCK IT. Haha.."Leon, show em how it's done" Next second Leon Davis was tackled nicely.

Yep those supporters who left early would be kicking themselves..

WELL DONE BOMBERS!!!

It's something I've never really understood. Even if it's just to 'beat the crowd'.... You've gotta sit through the pain to get a feeling for the players and eventually make days like today really meaningful (from a football perspective, I mean -- meaning abounded in many ways today).

The ones I did see leave (who, via their comments, I'd gotten to know a little bit of their character during the match), were more the "You idiot, McPhee!" type of 'supporter'. The ones who stayed seemed to be genuine supporters, which is why when the team flies up like it did today, we get carried along right behind them.

 

[Mingo]

You can't leave when it's so close in the last quarter... you just can't.

For crying out loud you're Essendon supporters too... they obviously have short memories and don't remember a certain game against the Roos. Anything can happen.

 

[Jade]

I stayed, right to the end.

Putting an Essendon guernsey on commands a certain level of commitment. Couple that with Anzac Day and chances are good you are going to see something special.

This was special.

I played footy today and once my game finished, i was in club rooms to see the final 5 minutes, thought we couldn't win it from there, but it was awsome, final siren went and all the collingwood supports left the room quickly. (can some1 plz post zaharakis goal on youtube )

CARN THE F**KIN BOMBERS!!

 

[big_slick]

My old man thought he'd beat the traffic, i could hear the remorse left in his voice when i spoke to him after, poor bugger.

I love it how a collective group of people can be so happy with each other when they each have something so passionately in common. One of those epically great feelings. I saw the boys off through the members gates. Wooooo

 

[Bomber32]

There is no way that I would leave with the game still in the balance.

Those that did leave today will really regret the fact they missed one of the great wins in Essendon's history.

I admit to being that type of supporter.... But I never have and never will leave a game early unless it's an emergency of some sort.

 

[Wolfpac]

A lot of people left in my area when Rocca kicked the ball through the goals when it was a free kick to us. Because of the confusion and noise a lot of people would have thought the game was out of reach.

But to the supporters who still went home when Jetta got the goal to put them within 8 points. For Shame.

 

[abryan]

the funniest thing was that apparently joffer put on his gold jacket early hahahaha! I haven't heard anything so hilarious for weeks : )

Yeah, it's not a watertight theory, but you stuck it out and after games like that as long as you're in EFC colours I'd jump up and down side by side with ya screaming out the song.

Is it the first time this has happened to him?? I don't think I can recall another time.

I left the game at 3/4 time unfortunatley as I had other commitments. Was doing so whether we were up/down/tied So sad to miss the greatest finish on an anzac day we have seen, but still stoked to catch some of our stars in the making

I remember once he put it on and took it off again -- can't remember the end result or if he put it back on again.

But what a stupid 'tradition' or whatever. Only Collingwood. What's the point? You can celebrate and be proud without it. Reeks of arrogance.

 

[white_noise]

What a tosser lol. Hope I see him walking around Coburg next week sometime. Ill let him know what a moron he is.

 

[Mingo]

He put it on against North a couple of years ago when they were four goals up. Bang, bang, bang bang... North won

 

[skzm]

There was a father 'n son sitting near us that left and then came back.. Hah I thought that was pretty funny.

 

[bruce29]

when the final siren rang i threw my bombers scarf in the air, and it went into the seats in front of me, and i forgot to go get it...it was freakin cold as well
