Would be good if someone from the club could read this and respond to the overwhelming dislike of this song on match dayComment
-
A few tragics here overreacting to the short snippet of a song at quarter time doesn't compare to the thousands that enjoy it and sing along with it, taking it for the silly little interlude that it's meant to be.Comment

The great majority of the crowd at any Swans game of the last few years have sung along and seeemed to enjoy it.
Not sure why some people here are getting so angry about it.Comment
-
Not sure where you're getting angry from.
The title of the thread is pretty self explanatory.
What did you expect to read here?
You've made your POV pretty clear. You like the song, you think discussing its removal is "tragic" and making people "angry"
Yet you seem to be the only one getting upset with the discussion.
Perhaps just don't open the thread?
I doubt the negative comments about the song are going to stop.
It will likely just frustrate you more....The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

I'll never complain about Sweet Caroline again after hearing what West Coast have planned. Apparently before the bounce, everyone must stand on one leg, flap their arms and scream "I'm a Weagle! I'm a Weagle!" then pash the person standing next to them. Tru fax.
Ew, imagine having to kiss a Weagle!
They really shouldn't be encouraged to breed.

So if today?s vote can be believed (and I?m a little dubious) Sweet Caroline is the crowd?s singalong choice.Comment

What choices they gave. Love is in the air? Hotel California!
Now sweet Caroline is by popular demand...He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

It was weird, they put the poll up just before they played it anyway, and then left it up afterwards. Then they played Livin' On A Prayer at 3/4 time (which we were by the as it turned out).Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

Must have been at the start of the quarter time break in order to play the song just before the end of the break.
As IF said two of the other choices were Love is in the Air and Hotel California. The other option was Livin? on a Prayer which they ended up playing during one of the other breaks anyway
The percentages shown on screen were meant to be ?live? but they seemed to jump around randomly.Comment

That snap poll tonight was an absolute joke. A rigged vote with insufficient time to process what was going on with an appalling choice of alternatives. Hotel Frigging California WTF or a ballroom bloody dancing song by that ponce JPY. It was a joke.
No up there for Sydney, not one of many many Aussie anthems that would have been more appropriate than the dross they served up.
It was all designed to give them the result they wanted and now the muppets that want this song can point any dissenters to their dodgy poll and say it was voted by popular demand.
Jenny from membership, whoever designed that ?Poll? tonight should be ashamed of themselves and I dare you to respond on here to that absolute farce at quarter time.
It was an insult to the intelligence of everyone their tonight and I am disgusted by it

Noone sings it where I am and all I hear are moans about what a stupid choice it isComment

The vote was at the beginning of quarter time (it was announced over the PA and the phone number to text was on the scoreboard). All the people around me in the Brewongle cheered when Sweet Caroline was announced the winner and sang along happily.
Just shows there are thousands of Swans supporters who are not on RWO.All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund BurkeComment

- 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.
