Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
"[T]here are things that matter more and he's reading and thinking about them: heaven, reincarnation. Life and death are the only things that are truly a matter of life and death. Not football." -
Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

Kirk is the captain and a proven club champion. He can say whatever he likes. This year Hally has been behaving like a pork chop or a loose cannon, sometimes both on the same day. A selfish style of football that he needn't be engaging in. From a 'no dickheads' perspective he's been treated quite favourably. Ricky Mott only needed one durry.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Can't see anything wrong with what Kirky said about Barry.
The club had to take a stand against Barry and the captain is in the best position to present the clubs stance on this matter to the media.
Me thinks Baz has lost the plot and although I hate to say it, we will play better without him at the moment.Comment

So he answered the medias question(s) (which are not in the article). Maybe he was too honest in his answer....
We all know the media being such models of integrity and honesty wouldn't take the comments out of context.
I am sure that B2 was on the news the other night commenting on the incident.spriteComment

ROK, as one who understood the implication of your sig, I have thought about it and while I can see why Kirk's comments might be seen as self-righteous, and yes, I am over the whole "Bloods brotherhood" ethos, I must echo the opinion of Jewels - Kirky's dedication and determination on the field has been nothing short of inspirational, so stuff it, he can say what he bloody well likes.Comment

Maybe he was given permission to talk to the media.Comment

So a player gets critisised for talking in cliches and dodging the issue, but when a player comes out and says what he thinks about Hall, he's critisised again?
Kirk has every right to say what he said and Hall needs to stop being an idiot. His attempted strike on saturday was a selfish act and he doesn't appear to care whether or not it damages our chances this year.
Kirk puts in 100% every single week, and he's the true captain of the Swans. If Bazza had half the brain power that Kirk does, he'd be one of the top 20 players in the league.Comment

I suspect not just given permission but asked to comment. His remarks were made in a media interview at the SCG at training. No doubt one of the club captains was asked by the club to answer the media's questions.
What's more, Kirk's comments are supportive of Hall, they do not slam him, just his actions on Saturday night. And in the light of Hall's reaction that he didn't think he'd done anything wrong, I thought what Kirk said was completely justified.Comment

Too many conspiracy theorist on RWO.Comment

My point is that, and its only my opinion, that Kirk was going on about Barry being a good person but what he did was unacceptable etc, as if he had done some abhorent thing, when it was only an air swing. HOnestly there are far more important things in the world to worry about and comment on. Im sure that Barry is remorseful enough - he doesnt need for it to be on TV every night with another member of the LG making a public comment about it. Let him have his weeks suspension and move on!I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Yes, there are more important things in the world to worry about, but I doubt Kirk was asked to comment on them. As spokesperson for the team on that particular occasion, his comments were fair and articulate. How that equates to Kirky being "perfect" is a mystery. Did anyone mention his comments about Barry Hall being a good bloke?
I heard that the person getting stuck into the team on Sat. night was C. Bolton not Brett Kirk.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
