    Stop expecting perfection from us - top referee

    No. You're conflating. What I said was, off supporters can see the referees officiating well then the reasons for abuse go down. It's simple cause and effect. I didn't say you would see it end completely - many people like to vent, of course. However, if you give someone less reason to believe...

    Stop expecting perfection from us - top referee

    Get competent referees into the game and you'll see the rate of abuse they receive go down. Sure, the players and supporters of a team being penalized won't be happy but the visible rise of quality will be noticed by everyone, eventually. They'll be seen a lot less as spineless idiots if they...

    Another gutless performance

    I'll just assume there's a 'comprehension' issue here - afterall, I'm using a cellphone to post these comments and I'm certainly no cellphone Shakespeare. Either that or you have a propensity to exaggerate outcomes to better suit your argument. You see, I am calm. It's easier and more...

    Why can't we model a European-esque playstyle? We played more aggressively under Brendan Rodgers and got promoted! Stop conflating what I'm saying... I'm not saying we should play FOR European football... I'm saying we should play fast, flowing, FORWARD ATTACKING football. Stop being so...

    How am I "moaning"? Isn't this a forum?... For dialogue on subjects? We're not always going to agree on everything... I don't expect you to - but let's not pretend it claim I'm "moaning" about a thread I started for the purposes of discussion. I feel we need to be more cutthroat about our...

    "Throwing toys out of the pram"? Or just your perception?

    Another gutless performance

    It seems to be a sad reality here... Criticism, regardless of how constructive it is (or the positive intent behind it) just results in one of three responses here:- 1) Childish name calling and insults by certain cliques. 2) Blanket denial (Everything is just peachy, apparently!). 3) A...

    Agreed. These changes are needed now though if we are to succeed... It will take time to implement this and make it second nature to the squad.

    Another gutless performance

    Who else would love to see the Swans become more ruthless and opportunistic, constantly pushing...? At present there's too much emphasis on keeping the ball, even if it means going backwards and sideways more often. It seems to many here though that pointing this out is being, somewhat...

    Another gutless performance

    If the Swans took their chances in the same way by shooting from distance instead of trying to fight their way into the goal, the results may indeed have been different... It seems ANY criticism ATM is viewed, by some, as an overreaction or "entitlement" instead of constructive suggestions to...

    Another gutless performance

    You haven't noticed that players don't shoot when they could and instead keep passing backwards or holding the ball? Just think, how many times have you thought, "shoooot!" white watching the team? There's too many people here making excuses for a lack of endeavor and courage by the team...

    This isn't in question - today was always going to be tough. However, my point was, had our players taken CHANCES... shots at range which we know they're capable of, the results may have been different.

    The team are their own worst enemy ATM. They need to get out of this mentality but this international break will not help. They need to be drilled as we cannot keep hoping for scraps around the opposition goal! I personally see this as an injustice because, as we've seen, they're capable of...

    Another gutless performance

    Overreaction? No.... It's an attention grabber though, for sure! But look at it this way... the team need to take shots when the opportunity arises. Instead they're passing backwards too often and holding the ball when Leicester did not. The ones here mocking this as an overreaction really...
