That's LITERALLY what's happening. Best to avoid rugby league conversations. Or at least keep them to fellow Manly supporters, and hope for empathy haha

I remember people laughing at us in 2003. We were pretty rock bottom then too. But then our revival started. I'm still very hopeful. I don't want us to get the wooden spoon, however being rock bottom may well be the start of something great. I hope so anyway.
A good way to instill pride is to go back to a home jumper that is traditional maroon with white hoops.

It takes a true believer to wear their colours after a loss. (or losses)

And we should just laugh along with them.

what about a crusher tackle
All worthy suggestions but she did point us to the bus.
True story. Happened Friday 6am at Bunnings at Burleigh.
Id lent my ute to a mate, as his had blown a head gasket.
He is a plasterer, so really needed the ute.
But I had to give him a quick run down on the Manly stickers, number plates
all over the ute. Now he (Bill), is sadly an AFL supporter, knows nothing about NRL.
So i said to Bill, don’t be surprised if someone yells out at you on the road or stopped at traffic lights. Explained we are the team ppl hate, plus we are getting flogged, so that’ll bring the Neanderthals out. I said if it happens, there will be a good chance it’ll be a Souths fan. He said I wouldn’t have a clue what a Souths fan looks like.
Well, I said if he’s in a car, it’ll probably be stolen. But if it’s legit, it’ll be covered with white rabbits, and South Sydney stickers on it.
So Bill rocks up late yesterday arvo to return the ute.
I said how’d ya get on, no dramas?
Bill (who I should say is a man of few words. One of those blokes that lets his actions do the talking).
But he says to me, I got myself in a bit of strife yesterday at Bunnings. The story went, he was putting a cpl sheets of plasterboard on the roof racks, when this bloke comes up to him and says, ‘Not a fuucking fairy Manly supporter‘.Bill being Bill, just keeps strapping the plasterboard down. By now, he’s twigged about what was going on, looks over to old mates ute, sure enough Rabbits stickers all over it.
Bill had to get some paint, so he’s in the paint aisle, and next thing he looks up, and this fuuckwit mixo fan, is giving him a gob full. Called Bill a fkn Manly poofter, and a cpl other expletives. By now Bill had noticed some ppl were hanging around watching. Bill thought fuuck this, it’s too early in the morning, and I don’t even follow the sport, so he attempts to leave, but dickhead comes at him and throws a right hand punch. Now Bills not a big bloke, but he’s being hanging plaster for over 30 years, so he has those veiny rock hard forearms. He ducks old mate, grabs him from behind and puts him in a chocke hold until cockhead calms down. By this time the Bunnings staff were all over it. They said we have to call the cops. Cops come and take witness statements. They all back Bill up.
Scumbag is arrested for assault, and was taken away in the cop car after making arrangements for someone to pick his ute up.
I was on the floor pissing myself laughing, in between trying to apologise to Bill that he had to cop that rubbish.
So that’s the story. Poor ‘ol Bill will rent a horse and cart before he ever borrows the ute again. 😀

Reminds when I was at the 3rd Test in 1974. Manly Jersey Flegg were playing a Newcastle Under 18 rep team in the early game. Newcastle got a head start then Manly caught up and got ahead as I recall. At that point I took off my jacket as it was midday and it was getting hot. I was wearing my 1972 MW jersey and everyone behind me started booing. I stood up and turned around and said it shows what you are when you boo a winner. Not bad for a 13 year old. They stopped and one of them got me a can of coke to say sorry.
I agree because by laughing back at them we are telling them they are not getting under our skin . That is the way I perceive it
Well good on ya for wearing the gear.
For some reason, your experience reminded me of something I read years ago.
It was when Manchester United were at the top of their powers and they interviewed some 'old timers'.
They said something like "We just ask these blow -ins 'where were you when ManU were crap?' Their point was that it's easy to wear the gear when your team is winning everything, but when the club needed you, where were you? Were you solid enough to show your colours during the crap times?
So...
- I'm not calling you an old timer (lol)
- I realise it sounds like a 'true supporter' argument!
- Methinks it was more about sticking solid with the team.
- If I *#%@ up one more attempt at trying to capitalise a letter I am going to surprise a Rhino and headbutt the bugger as punishment!!!
