RWO'ers quoted in the Tele today

[Damien]

Bron, Robbieando, Barry Scheinder and Cruiser all got quoted today in the telegraph!!.

All supporting Colless' attack on the umpires.

I have tried to attach a scanned copy - but it says it is too big to attach here.

Here it is.

Yep that is the article - also in the tele next to the article, there is four RWOer quotes under the header "The Colless Case - fans have their say"

How will robbieando feel about this being printed

Another read: "I have been a critic of Colless, but after his comments I say make this man a GOD," from "Robbieando".

A God who if the stories are true has forked out around
1 million dollars to a coach who has not coached a match that
sort of God we can do without.

The stories aren't true. If they were, someone would have found 1 scrap of evidence. 1 million or so in payments wouldn't be too hard for any hack of a journo to track down.

I hate seeing reputations destroyed because of unsubstantiated theories.

This is twice in the last couple of weeks we have been quoted in the Telegraph. So I guess we all are on notice to think twice before posting lest you end up in print.

I know it?s wishful thinking, but it would be great if Tim and Nikki could join our forum and openly solicit opinion from us. C?mon guys, how about it?

Last night on WLF, Derek HS bagged Collis for stating that the umpires were incompetent, but then later agreed that the Voss decision was blatantly incorrect. So is Collis to be fined for speaking the truth?

Say $250K per year over a few years wouldn't be so easy to track down...

Derek HS also said that umpire errors have never decided the outcome of a game. Surely the Lions v Saints match would have been a draw if it wasn't for that dodgy behind that was obviously an OOBOTF? Not to mention some of our close losses...

Good to see that the Tele seem to be happy for our site and their paper to share

We should get the Swans out to defend us against this plagiarism

Not even the agreement it was paid under?, the taxation consquences?, the management fees?, the accounts it was paid to?.....

The Swans, Wallace's management and Terry Wallace have done an amazing job if that is the case.

This was the hottest story for a long time, and to this day there are a few journo's that would love to prove their theory was correct.

Never?
Essendon vs Sydney, 2004 - throw not paid, inexplicable free in Essendon F50, Essendon won by 10 points
St Kilda vs Brisbane, 2004, that was NOT a behind to St Kilda, St Kilda won by 1 point
Adelaide vs Sydney, 2003, Carey's mark was over the behind line, Adelaide won by 4 points
Kangaroos vs Sydney, 2002, umpire fell for Cressa's staging, Swans won by 3 points
