Swans supporters are clueless

[RealSlimShady]

I made my way to the game yesterday and sat within earshot of Swans supporters who have not a clue when it comes to the rules of the game.

The most obvious one was the taking out of the arms in a marking contest. One guy behind me kept bellowing out that there was no free and I had to politely tell him of the new rule and to go and visit the afl site and read up on the rules because he didnt have any idea of what he was talking about.

It does ruin a good day at the football to hear these people whinge about the umpiring but dont make an effort to know the rules in the first place.

Did you also tell them that you are allowed to move the ball in a forward direction and you won't be penalised.

I get this impression when I go to Crows games.

Those idiots are at all games, thats why I listen to the radio rather than listen to them prattle on.

I like the way they clap a good effort by our players

 

[eddie eagle]

They were good at three things
Calling out go swannies whenever a sydney player was running forward with the ball.
Yelling out stone the crows after each goal
Yelling out snowtown when the game was in the bag for the crows.

Must say the scg is a reasonable venue to watch a crows win though.

At least they have a sense of humour. Just asking us to inform them of Cronulla really.

I live in Sydney and being at the game, almost felt like home. Felt like practically half the SCG was filled with Crows supporters.

Well you could always remind them of the head on a stick trick
