I don't, okay, I DON'T!
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

[B]There?s no conspiracy, but it?s a fact of football life that the umps cop a fearful amount of abuse from the home fans and very few have sufficient strength of character to block it out and umpire the game on it?s merits. Goldspink and McLaren are the worst at umpiring for the crowd and not the game.
Say what you will but Goldstink and McLaren DO hate the Swans and are obsequious suck ups to Perth's Precious Princes
.
Nothing will convince me otherwise .
On Triple M last Sunday, Sam said "if McLaren is umpiring at Subiaco , I wont go!. He is a disgrace to the AFL"
See, it's not just me. He's Sam Kekovich and you KNOW he's right
Mr Roos knew what he was doing'
John Longmire is taking it to an art form
We dont know how lucky we are to be Swans supporters

We have run them very close every time we have played them of late over there so I cant understand why we keep on moaning.
Swans by 20 points - no risk.
Have you just crawled out from under a rock? Sure we have run close both times we have played them in the last 12 months, but for some very dodgy frees we would have beat them over there twice in a year... well at least once, the last time, not so sure.
There is plenty of reason to whinge. The main one being we don't want it to happen again.

Not true completely. What pisses me off most is the number of frees they get inside their 50 compared to ours. Barry Hall gets at least three fewer frees per game in the F50 than any other FF/CHF in the same situations would. The number of times he gets shephearded out of a marking contest by a second player, or has his arms chopped or gets caught high, with absolutely no recompense is disgusting. It is even worse over in WA.
Yes it does sound like whingeing, but a 56-32 count from our last two games over there, for a total combined losing margin of 4pts, is hard to accept. If at least our F50 frees weren't so lopsided (15-2) your point would be accurate.
