I don't deny that there are elements of luck involved in football (duh) but for someone to suggest that the competition is so even that Premierships can be won due to luck is a joke.

"Of course there was a lot of luck" is not suggesting they won only because of luck. It suggests luck helped a lot and it was in response to someone who refused to believe there was luck.
"so why did they not win the year before... " - if you can't recognise sarcasm after all this time... time for

Oh, Cow, you wouldn't like to contradict against people like NMWBloods. Surely he knows better than anyoneelse that the swans will grace the bottom of the ledder again. That is his righteous mission and gratification for spending his "fortune" on bets for finishing the Swans last in the competition.

The question is: Did they have more "luck" than any other team in the finals? My answer is: No.Originally posted by NMWBloods

Luck doesn't exist nor does fate, destiny or any of that other pre-ordained keek.

He never said that an element of luck is not needed to win a Premiership. Oh for the love of God where is that roll eyes. And yes they did win because of skill and determination. They are a necessary component in any Premiership of any sport of any level. Thank you.Originally posted by NMWBloods
Well that just about does it then - there was no luck involved and the Swans won purely because of skill and determination... hmmm so why did they not win the year before... oh well, we should win the next 3 or 4 if luck doesn't count...An instrument with only 9 notes! Surely it's easy to play?

Thanks genius - yes this is what football is and the circumstances where some players get injured and some don't is affected a great deal by luck.Originally posted by Piobaireachd
Well that's football isn't it.
I never said skill and determination were not involved, just not the sole reason. Luck has a major part to play, predominantly through injuries.
Sanecow said - "I think the word "luck" is used as an insult. What were the specifically lucky events that led to the Swans' Premiership?" - ie: he can't see anything lucky in the win.
Subsequently modified to "I don't deny that there are elements of luck involved in football (duh) but for someone to suggest that the competition is so even that Premierships can be won due to luck is a joke." which I didn't disagree with.
Of course, then we get some insightful observations from the peanut gallery...Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

I think the loss of Braun and injury to Kerr would push the luck element in favour of the Swans.Originally posted by Sanecow
