    Besides, he was so genuinely keen on luring me (and Annie) to the game it was hard to dismiss him. And it might have been Horse himself playing a trick on me again - like constantly almost selecting TDL.
    That Horse is a wacky funster!

      Got the same call, and it doesn't bother me but it's preaching to the converted. I was always going to the game. I'd be happy to save them the cost of the phone call!

        So did I - it was interrupting my footy talk with one of the few people I work with who goes to Swannies matches...

          I got it as well. Didn't mind on this occasion, as it was about my religion. Still can't go to the game though, because (as with a lot of Swans supporters) we have Sydney AFL commitments on Saturday.
          Can't understand why the Swans would want to play on Saturday afternoon.

              His message said he wouldn't be calling you because you dissed the umps.

                It was all a misunderstanding.

                All I did was tell Ray and his mates if they wanted a beer after the game that they should go to the Far Queue.

                  You were probably the same person who said Bill Clinton was misquoted when he said "hold my calls and sack my cook"?

                    He called me too but I missed the call. When I accessed the message later he told me that he was sorry he'd missed me (I assume he was sorry he missed my call but you never know I guess....)

                    I thought it was kind of cool and amusing at the same time. Good on the club for giving it a go.

                      He called me to ask if I can bring my boot and kit on Saturday just in case, I said "of course.... but just in case what?" and John said "just in case nobody else is willing to stand 15 metres in front of Barry- then you can get a run!". I'm thinking it over.
                      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

                          I tried calling Horse too, but I was told that Melbourne members can only talk to him 5 times per season.
