Follow another Team

[boardlumps62]

Obvious case of schadenfreude.

I had to look that up but no wrong. I'm actually a St George supporter since a kid when Cassius Clay was a boxer and we listened to NSW State v Qld State on Radio and Ronald Ryan was hanged in Victoria. Don't take this to heart anyone.

And you reckon I'm having a sook FMD.


So if you think that some of those people don't think the Dragons are dead and they are now almost forced to suffer the Illawarra / Steelers mentality and whilst looking at that option question how they can have any ongoing loyalty then you are sadly mistaken.

So it was the Illawarra mentality that won us our first premiership in 31 years; I will have to thank them for that. Or has the Illawarra mentality only taken over since 2010? was it the St George mentality in 2010? And how about in the mid 2000's, was that Illawarra or St Geroge mentality? or was it a little of both. St Geoge when we won and Illawarra when we lost. I am confused.

Indeed you are confused just like muzby
The conversation is/was about where we have descended to in the here and now.
The mediocrity we endure today is “A” typical of how Illawarra conducted itself for almost the entire time it existed until it ultimately failed.
That mentality now predicates the entire club.

I think I need a dollar for every time old timer mentions my name..

How the mighty has fallen. The marriage between St George Dragons and the Illawarra Steelers hopefully will end up in the divorce courts one day with settlement and alimony paid out to free the Dragons of despair and abuse.

Pretty sure Muhammad Ali didn't want to be called Cassius Clay., he once referred to it as his "slave name" - after he said this, sections of the media would continue to taunt him and call him Cassius.

He wasn't Mohamad Ali when I was a St George supporter. Are you related to my friend the Orange?

I spoke out in anger and frustration yesterday after losing to my most hated team and making them look like the Melbourne Storm. The only silver lining was maybe the coach would be sacked after another inept performance by a lowly placed team alas it wasn't to be and I vowed not to bother with St George this year, whilst my heart won't be fully into it I have decided to stand by them and whilst preparing for the worst I'll also hope for the best, coming into these Forums and seeing many others feel the same way I do is very good stress relief, I look forward to reading everyones thoughts and opinions as the year goes on.

Nor was he known as Muhammad Ali when I first started following St George. But by the mid-1960s I heard he didn't like being called Cassius Clay, so decided that was his choice. I was too young to know why I thought that, but nowadays I think it was just a simple matter of respect.

I don't know your "friend the orange". Have you spoken to anyone else about this?

 

[Blood&Bandage]

I could never follow another team.

I’ve just lost my passion and interest.

McGregor and the board are killing me and I hate it.

I like that story Willow it takes my mind off the problem at the Dragons.
Now the orange is another matter. He needs to realise I have Red and White eyes especially after crying in my beer after those dismally performances.

One more shit display I think Mary is gone. Did you see the look on Vaughn's face plus a few others. These players have no heart I've played games and was flogged week in week out just to keep the club alive. The young bloke are watching.

He actually went from Cassius Marcellus Clay to Cassius X and then later after adopting Islam he became Mohammad Ali.

There is a play "one Night In Miami" which depicts the night the young 22 year old Cassius beats Liston for the title and then meets with Malcolm X, the great entertainer Sam Cooke and NFL great Jim Brown in a "Jim Crow" style hotel to celebrate his victory and discuss the civil rights movement.

Interesting that Cooke and Malcolm X were both dead within 2 years and Brown walked away from the NFL at the height of his career.

 

[Blood&Bandage]

Can the club survive without supporters?

I love my team, but as the saying goes, ‘if you love something, set it free.....’

I’m voting with my feet. I haven’t renewed my membership and I won’t be going to games.

What’s worse, my boys who were into the Saints... couldn’t give a rats arse anymore. To their defence, they have only known Paul McGregor’s reign.

 

[boardlumps62]

Ok hope you have my point I have been following The St George Dragons a long time.
So as a lot of supporters are wondering where is the white jersey with the Big Red V.

What does the apple say?

No can do. It's Dragons for me (see my name) or nothing. It's why at age 53 I sat with tears of joy rolling down my cheeks at the 2010 GF. I'm not even sure if my wife fully understands.

The sweet moments after the dark times are truly the sweetest.

Last sentence is spot on.
