    Other than the fact he brought someone's race into comment when it wasn't necessary? I'm not outraged or anything, but it could be interpreted as underlying a particular sentiment he may hold...

    Totally agree with you Captain, if that's the worst thing I hear or read this weekend I'll be happy.
    I was imagining much worse when I first read the comments.

    I get what you're saying Primmy, and the post was ordinary at best. I guess I'm saying that a) I'm sure the club keeps a close eye - easy enough to "follow" all the players on Twitter - and b) I'm not sure Jenny should be made responsible for responding to the boys' social media activity, especially when you/we could always just reply directly.

    Can I just say that while I understand it's part and parcel of being a professional sportsperson these days, I am SOOOOO happy nobody was watching/recording my every move at that age? (Or at this age!)

    Footy + wine + internet + TS14 sale = disaster.

    God I hate political correctness, it was probably started by some self righteous, self indulgent, self centred wanker who thought he coulf make a few bucks in a courtroom somewhere. Now it's a freakin epidemic of complete bull@@@@. On the news this morning I saw an Aussie guy trying to sue because someone said g'day mate to him in England, RACISM my ass

    So anyway, how about RWOers on Twitter? I am, check my profile. Is anyone else? Is there a hashtag we RWOers can use for Swans games this season or are we all using #goswans?

    To be honest I think there's a lot wrong with what he said, but I imagine it was just a flippant comment.
    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
