I spent 20+ years masquerading as a Carlton supporter. Does that count?

I am actually scared for you over BBO's possible reply to this shocking news.

Au contraire 640! It shows an undying devotion to the mighty Dees. Do you realise how hard it is to silently barrack for our beloved Dees whilst wearing your Bruce 11 Doull duffel coat?!?!

Carlton has been my second team for a long time. Started in the 70's when I lived in their country zone. Dees were [censored] and they were winning flags.

That makes two of us! On the entire planet, that is.

i think that is what most would define as heresy

As a kid, Carlton was my second team mainly because I was confused.  When we sing "keep an eye on the red and the blue" in our song, I thought Carlton was the blue 😂

You never noticed the blue on our players? As in, predominantly blue?

Having any liking for Carlscum at all, is simply unacceptable, on any level.

Shame, shame, shame!

Maybe one player off from a full 23 as a kid!

My closet only holds my extensive colletion of designer kaftans and some other bespoke items for those  'special' moments.

Agree entirely with your Solomon like wisdom Red. 

I move that WCW be banned from this thread for an audible obscenity.

I think the number is way bigger than 2 WCW. A lot just do not admit divided loyalties of bygone times.

Your closet must be the biggest room in the manor. 7XL kaftans ain’t fitting into a regular closet.

And as for your ‘other bespoke items’ where I come from we call them crocs.

BBO, the thread tribunal ( me ) has sat on this issue and now hands down its decision on WCW’s transgression.

After being extended great leniency, after her earlier misdemeanour , this latest one of admitting to liking Carlscum, has to incur a penalty.

WCW is hereby banned from this thread for 1 hour. The Tribunal understands this will hurt, but standards must be kept up by the users of the thread, for the benefit of all.

The penalty is now in force.

Let this be a lesson to all.

What must one do to incur a ban of a decent length?!?!

Repeat an offence or steal BBO’s kaftan.

I’ll go with the first of those options. The second one is out of the question for many, many reasons, the main one being I don’t have a removalist truck. Do you even know how heavy 7XL kaftans are?!?!

I believe 7XL kaftans  are 3 Demis Roussos’ at his heaviest.

BTW the Tribunal hasn’t forgotten, your ban starts at midday.

That gives me a solid 20 minutes to attract a lengthier ban. For starters, how’s this… I used to fantasise about Tom Scully (in case you missed it, that’s THOMAS SCULLY) playing for the Blues and absolutely killing it, even winning the Brownlow and a premiership or two with them.

Well that’s just downright nasty.

You got your wish you are banned for 24 hours.

So much effort for only 24 hours banned?! I give up. I concede defeat. I’ll just have to learn to embrace my bizarre fascination with this thread, and the clinically insane who regularly post here.
