Great rebuttal post Nico!

Martin Blake, over to you...

[ROK Lobster]

But I accept Martin has his opinion as does Jim Main but I reckon I am equally as intelligent as them so I reckon I am right as often as they are.

Great post Nico, only you sell yourself too short. Keep up the good work mate - he's just jealous that you have more readers than him.

If this bloke had the balls to reply here, he would be treated as any other Swans supporter - with respect.
However I doubt that he will engage in a conversation with regards to the ups and downs of Jude's career, which is a shame as he most likely would raise some quite insightful points.

However, it must be said that many a time Jude has had a kick for goal that should go straight through the middle 19 times out of 20 and he misses..... badly.

That in itself is enough to draw criticism, unfair or otherwise, as he seems able to bring on the 'let down' feeling regularly.

Aside form all that, you know what they say..... any publicity......

I suspect that I have become content to snipe and let the post stand or fail on its own legs (relying on premiership credits, and the glory of the being the first banner competition winner - the CS still owe me a trip onto the SCG), rather than getting back in there again and again (like Bevo/Connolly) to really drive the point home.

Lets face it ROK you are a fringe tiggy touch wood type of player who is very iffy in the cliches.

I wonder if they thought as we did as a collective at Princes Park one day watching the 2's, that one Brett Kirk had not a hope in the world of making it.

Keep taking it one post at a time and more power to your elbow

If the game is there to be won I'll be in there tooth and nail, but if it is shot to ribbons (one way or the other) I am happy to skirt around the edges, looking for the cheap possession (or cheap shot) or the goal of the year.

We see plenty of sizzle but not sure about the sausage

I find it amazing that these people who bag our people for critisizing players, have obviously never spent much time sitting in the outer, or in a pub, or discussed footy around the water cooler on a Monday morning.

You here the same @@@@ at these places that you read here, it's just a more public place and read by many more people than just the people in immediate earshot in a pub/crowd.

Got to a tigers game Martin, those fans really do it their own, and I'm sure there are many other fans who are just as critical of players from their clubs. It does not necessarily mean they are no more of a fan than the next person.

At least it is free publicity!!!

You're a rookie son. Many of my 7000 posts have been hard ball gets - and I have the grass stains to prove it.

Or reading or listening to the media!

I think forums have become the 21st century version of lunchboxes.

I was shocked (to my hair!) to hear Roosy say he advised players not to read RWO.

It can only do the lads good to go online and see that, no matter how well they play, there'll be someone on RWO calling for them to be dropped, or at least delisted and their house burnt down. After last week's woeful performance, god knows they need some mental toughening.

As for Roosy, I'd say come on down, choose a handle, sign up and log in to RWO. As a coach, you're supposed to speak to the media once a week. Why not do it on RWO? We know one journalist who reads it religiously.
