The jealous hate is hysterical!

[ccfc bondi]

The hate's not just in the media. Pleasant walk along the Malabar headland yesterday, wearing my Roosters cap (purely for sun protection, of course!) and passed by a guy who must've been a Souths supporter. He gave first my cap, then me, the filthiest of sideways glances! More hatred in his eyes than if I'd just pillaged his village and murdered the women and children! Couldn't stop laughing afterwards. It was a good weekend. Grand Final win Sunday night, dolphins at Bondi Monday morning, whales off Malabar in the afternoon. Anyone else have hysterical stories and lame excuses from jealous friends or workmates?

[Arties Pie]

Yeah I got plenty of filthy looks, I don't get it as we were the only Sydney team in the Grand Final and you would have thought people in Sydney would be happy a Sydney Team won.

My experience has been one of almost total silence from those who follow rugby league and know I am a Roosters supporter (got one text message from a Sea Eagles supporter).

As for public feedback, I only wear Roosters gear within the confines of the stadium where the Roosters are playing.

On a side note, it was great to see some Roosters supporters wearing sombreros at the GF.

I don't know if I have experienced any hate. I woke up this morning sober for the first time since the Roosters won.

[chopstiks]

The usual suspects don't even have their usual Yeah but we beat you argument LOL

I don't know if I have experienced any hate. I woke up this morning sober for the first time since the Roosters won.

LOL I think im still half tanked today mate.

I actually received more texts from non Easts friends of congratulations and commenting on the way we hammered the Drizzle.

I also have read only positive comments from opposition fans in replies to the many news stories over the last couple of days.

In fact just this morning I looked at LU, its been eons for me, and overwhelming opinion was of congratulation for our win and plenty of LOL@Slater stuff. That was an eye opener for me personally seeing I was banned from there probably 10 years ago and still am.

But we all know come round 1 next year it will be on like donkey kong. As it should be.

363 days of in your face to go peoples. Enjoy I know I will.

GO EASTS

I got nothing but positive comments. In and around the city before the GF and then on Monday around circular quay to Manly many people were congratulating us and calling out go the Roosters!

I was actually hoping someone would fire up so I could have a go but sadly it didn't happen.

I got trolled on Twitter but I stopped arguing with people on the interwebz when The Wall closed down. I’’m a lot less riled up by keyboard warriors these days. In saying that, we live in the Shire and my Mum wears her Roosters cap religiously down at the beach and one woman muttered “gee, she must be lost” because apparently you must support the Sharks if you live in Sutherland area. I love the hate, we are winners for a reason - no salary sombrero necessary.

[Chookies74]

This good looking Rooster will be wearing his ESDRLFC cap all week in the city. Embrace the hate and lol@souffs

I don't know if I have experienced any hate. I woke up this morning sober for the first time since the Roosters won.

At least you woke up sober. They tell me the hangovers get a lot worse in a southerly direction. And longer to get over.

I love it.

Don't care what other supporters think. If you are not with us you are against us

[Easts to Win]

I live in Blacktown and there is a lot of Roosters supporters out here . There’ is plenty of Roosters number plates and flags on cars and people wearing their Easts jerseys with pride . The majority of footy fans here are Parra and the feed back I am getting is they are happy we smashed the storm because they are still not over losing the 2009 grand final to them and because they’ are basically a second Brisbane team based in Melbourne .

[mattyh]

yea i agree ..as i said previous, 2 south sydney supporters i know hoped we won , i met a storm supporter or 2 on sunday night and to be honest most of them were gracious in defeat but i am in cairns

[roosters75]

Well i actually live in Melbourne now moved from Sydney. On Monday morning I rocked up to work with my Roosters jersey being all Storm supporters thet had to suck it up, a few of them actually shook my hand good win.

[TumutChook]

Yep it started on the train ride out to the game for me.1st stop this horrid loud mouthed bird got on the train with her mum who must gave been 60+ & 1 of her friends.She started banging on saying the only reason South lost to Roosters was because the Roosters are shit....hmmm that sounds about right.Then it was im just going to get pissed & boo the Roosters who are shit,i dont even want to go,Souths would win if they were playing etc.Not 1 person said a word & this wretched beast kept it up for several stops until she found an ally.Old bloke about 65 starts saying hes going to laugh at the Roosters when they lose & that all the Chooks supporters would be attending their 1st game for the year today being bandwagoners.I deliberately laughed loud & said to my lad,at least we are f###ing there & a bit hard to win it if you cant even make it.Then he says were are the most successful foundation club yada yada yada,so i ripped out yeah & the only club to get kicked out of the comp & how does it feel knowing that after today ill have witnessed the Chooks win more Premierships in the last 6 years than any houso Bunnies supporter alive has seen.The silly tart then wanted to start swinging haha
