    Barry Hall still irked by Paul Roos rift

    BARRY Hall has a deep-rooted rift with former coach Paul Roos that emerged yesterday after the full-forward announced his retirement.

    Hall yesterday described himself as a Bulldog, despite being co-captain of Sydney's 2005 premiership team under Roos, and pointedly did not mention Roos' name.

    Several sources yesterday confirmed Hall's disappointment with Roos.

    Roos said yesterday: "I'm not aware of any rift. If that's the case, it's certainly not on my behalf and I can only presume we are still on speaking terms."

    As far as i can see Barry needs to get a grip,what he did that day was just mindless rubbish,and the ump was standing 1 metre away,he should count himself lucky that Roosy still thinks they are friends.

    Fair enough I suppose. Roos concedes it's his biggest regret as coach.

    But remember Hall's long a sulk after the 2006 grand final, so it's not as if he doesn't like to nurse a grievance.

    Undoubtedly he will get some boos on Saturday afternoon - albeit from a minority of Swans fans - and will come out and have a sook about it, like he did last time. I suspect most Swans fans want to remember him fondly, despite how his time at the club ended. But if he is going to be dismissive of his time at our club, he can hardly expect any warmth to be shown towards him by Swans fans.

    I agree with this, he seems to want it both ways. Continue to feel hard done by and sulk about his Swans departure, but feel the love at the same time.
    If he wanted the love, he should of shown some maturity and risen above his beef with Roos and Kirk, ( a fair enough beef IMO, they hung him out to dry in the media).
    But to be so dismissive of his blazing 8 year Swans career and so bullish of his 2 years of retribution as a Dog, doesn't set the scene for a warm send off.
    Personally I'll support him on Saturday, but he's set himself up for plenty of booing from the Sydney crowd.

    You forgot that Roosey sanctioned his sabbatical to Fiji with his new "fit" girlfriend, after he got rubbed out for the Staker brainfade. Yes he had a big hand in our premiership, but it appears that's where it stopped for him. After that he was an unaccountable footballer who blamed all and sundry for his faults. 5 weeks for eye gouging, 8 weeks for the big hit and another 10 weeks for other career indiscretions. And it was Roosey's fault for not talking to him until midweek after he blew his last chance. Strewth.

    Pretty much how I see it too. They seemed to be good at doing that.

    And depending on which paper you read ie :News Ltd "Barry hates the Swans blah blah blah" - Rebecca Wilsons peice in Saturdays paper was pathetic. (a woman who only has her job at the paper because she married to the boss!) I reckon Baz must told her a few home truths once and she has had it in for him every since. Lets not forget Baz writes for Fairfax papers , yes folks the opposition- and he is still on the Dogs payroll, again the opposition. I heard on the radio on the way in to the game on Saturday arvo the bloke who wrote the book with him, MIchael Crowley - and whilst Brad McEwan was trying to make a mountain out of a molehill - Micheal Cowley put it too bed - he said there is no rift and Baz & Roos are fine - time to move on.
    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

    Yep if he says he wants to be remembered as a bulldog then he should expect people to boo him.

    Time to grow up Barry. You are a premiership Captain and we gave you a chance when your career had faltered at the Saints so a bit of respect please. Remember you're the one who couldn't keep his hands to himself and acted like a petulant child at times. While Roosy could have handled it better it was you that ended your career at the Swans by your own actions.

    However on Sat I will remember that you are our premiership captain and will reflect on the good things you did for the club and give you a warm send off.

    I will warmly boo him off.
    I don't think I've ever liked Blind Barry - especially after he signed a $2M contract and then stopping kicking goals. Very disappointing.
    He was only the premiership captain because it was his "turn".
    Was it 2005 or 2006 where we had to pay a QC a week before the granny to get him off yet another charge? Can't remember.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    All of the above.
    I'm a little miffed that he values his time with the doggies more than the time with us but the big lug will always be our premiership captain.
    Sadly won't be there this Sat (of all the games I have to miss!!!) but if I was I'd be cheering for him-after the game, when he's in front of goals he's just another opposition player to distract from goal

    Actually it was Ben Matthews turn to be captain. At the time Barry was the natural leader of the club so was the captain for the GF. Without Barry we would still be waiting for a premiership. His goal in the GF was as big a captains goal as you will get. We were gone until he stepped up.
