'Delicious' is a fun word to say -
12 months is a long time for some of the more fickle amongst us.- -
Interesting to go back over this thread. It certainly highlights some posters' propensity for tool's talk and others for words of wisdom.
I try hard to stay out of those conversations but I do confess to having an over-optimistic streak that could be reined in every now and again to avoid the odd egg-on-face scenario.Comment

Horse hasnt actually acheived anything yet, so lets not put the ...... before the cart here.
My criticism back then was his use of ruckmen as a sub, which he has overcome.
But all in all he's looking like a fine coach. I was just thinking the other day that even in Roos' best years, we were always aware he'd leave sometime in the next couple of years. With Horse you get the feeling he could be like Sheedy or Worsfold, and keep the job for decades if he keeps producing.Comment

Was that started after the Richmond game last year?
I looked for more photos of Longmire to see if his player relationships had improved and a photo of Lou Diamond Phillips came up which is fairly troubling.
If you dont believe me, you can see the photo here: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/e-vgSQHUDbA/0.jpgHe ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

I seem to remember Mark Thomson having his head on the chopping block a few years back. Maybe more than a few.
A couple of Premierships and one of the best teams in the business later he is now a coaching legend.Comment

Wow, I don't know who bumped this, might have been Horse himself, I went through the whole thing, what a rant. Happy to have been devoid of opinion on that oneYou can't argue with a sick mind - Joe WalshComment

What the............ I posted in the old thread after reading the whole lot, but I'll say it again, what a rant, I was pretty happy I didn't stick my beak in that oneYou can't argue with a sick mind - Joe WalshComment

Love the fact that the poster who started this thread is one of the leaders in calling for LRT to be dropped!Comment

LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

Hahaha that's the funniest thing I've read in ages, some of those posts are golden!
A year certainly is a long time in footy.Comment

Ah nothing like an internet forum gloating session!!!
Happy to put my hand up 12 months later and admit that Longmire has really turned things around, so to the one and only person I owe an apology to - Sorry Horse.
I maintain that some of those criticisms were warranted at the time, and other concerns (e.g gameplan) have turned out to be completely incorrect. Despite what some may (or would like to) think I'm happy to be eating humble pie with the team travelling very nicely at the moment.
For those of you that are never wrong, or whose opinons are better than others, congratulations, it must be nice for you.
BTW Captain, I'm still not convinced on LRT but given he's not going anywhere I've learnt to live with itComment

I hold my hand in the air for sure and wasn't a fan of Longmire. Some of his decisions, espeically with the sub choice were terrible. What he has done subsequently has been amazing.
We can all be wrong, but to be heavily involved in calling for LRT's head very soon after incorrectly calling for Longmire's head doesn't sit well with me.Comment

The whole LRT thing is getting a bit drawn out, isn't it?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 timeComment

- 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.

9) Prohibited
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.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
