    TF - Caro Crap

    She reckons that Wallace is being paid by someone, and she said that she has mentioned it in both the Age and Australian and hasn't been sued yet.

        Never make the mistake of taking anything this twit says seriously. Lately, I've found myself wondering if Caro is related to that other brainless idiot, Rebecca wilson from The Fat.

          Was there ever a day when journos had to be accountable? To keep their trap shut, to say nothing until they had EVIDENCE?

          I'M FED UP. THERE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE OF THIS OCCURRING... yet the Melbourne mafia just keeps on reporting it as if it's fact. All Caro said last night was that she "thought" that had occurred. IF YOU CAN'T SUBSTANTIATE IT, DON'T REPORT IT!

            Come on Charlie that goes against Caro's better judgement. As I always say

            THE TRUTH - NEVER LET IT GET IN THE WAY OF A GOOD LIE

            It hasn't stop them with the AFL handouts story.

              Ok but how can we explain that if caro was writing crap in the age about a wallace payment and it was not true - she said she hasnt be sued - so if these were really untrue and damaging which you think they were wouldnt sydney fight caro for defamation or something like that ?

                That was my exact thought, Cheer Cheer.

                In the same way that not one person in this country doesn't think Geoff Clark raped his cousin.

                Something has to be hidde otherwise the club would go after the journalists.

                On the other hand it is crap journalism to print rumour and inuendo.

                  I watched Wilson's interview with Schwab with interest last night especially her interogation with respect to an article she wrote about Shane Bolger!!! Very frosty, indeed.

                  But my pet hate at the moment is Anthony Hudson.

                  He is oh so condescending and oh so patronising.

                  His comments on Fox Footy leave me aghast. His latest revelation on White Line Fever on Friday night when speaking with a journalist Steve Price( who is this guy anyway????) about Colless' comments about the World Cup and him not buying it were breathtaking.

                  What is this guy's credentials to be commenting on footbal administration interstate in the first place much less his dismissive attitude towards Sydney's predicament.

                    I could'nt care less if we were paying the pope a million a season to say prayers each week.

                    We're in the top four!!!!!

                    And all the Melbourne media crew are spewing cause they tipped us for the spoon and all their teams are sitting in the bottom half of the ladder.

                    They cant give us crap for playing badly cause we're smashing em all, so they are going for anything they can get off the field.
                    Go the BLOODS!

                      Maybe the Swans think it would be more damaging and distracting to pursue Caroline Wilson through the courts. It would only reinforce her sense of self-importance and absorb time and money better directed at making sure that the clubs dodgy financial situation improves. We don't even have a CEO at the moment, so I guess that the board and some of the admin management (who would be involved in such an exercise) are doing extra work already without chasing her down for a few thousand $.


                      ... and as Ganjaman says "We're in the top four!!!!!"

                        Good point Undy . Court cases such as libel and defamation tend to drag on forever and at the moment the Swans certainly have not got the spare money to be engaged in protracted legal action.

                          You linked two things 'untrue' and 'damaging'. They may be untrue but look at the way she wrote the article. Wallace has no action in defamation as he has not been accused of lieing. The Swans board reportedly made a decision to let it lay as just footy talk. They haven't been accused of lieing either. Just stories about a "source' saying Wallace was paid. They might have a claim against her but suing footy journalists is just not generally done.

                          You just can't sue a reporter for every untrue footy story they publish just as movie stars can't or won't sue publications for every made up story. Doesn't make them true though.

                            Rebecca Wilson???? Absolute moron. Reckons she knows it all but really knows next to nothing, as poor as her possible relative
                            - Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing!

                              Isn't there some sort of immunity from litigation for journalists, or am I wrong?

                              In any case, it wouldn't be worth the Swans' time to sue her.
