Absolutely right mate

So why are you in here making comments?
If you had of moved on you would have ignored it.

Uummmm - NO
And we didnt tell him - the new coach did

Oh and as you state
As he is entitled to say how he feels - as are we are we not
The EF supporters have forgotten about him and are moving on
Sadly others gave him a platform to spew from so some are taking an opportunity to kick it out from under him
Ha

Apart from MikeH comment yours was the best I read hence the comment

You have a platform here to make your comments on Hampson and you are going on about him still so you haven’t moved on.
You are no different to Hampson.
Not sure why you care what he thinks but you must have your reasons

I found that cringe worthy reading. I don’t mind him defending himself and telling his side of the story but the way he talks about himself and his new club, in particular about coach Adam Pickering and fm Phil Smart is the sort of stuff you keep to yourself and those close to you. Why does he need to pump the coach and football managers tyres up? It’s all about himself. Glad he didn’t end up at Perth though I suppose someone is going to to tell me Perth threw everything at him. Hopefully it was a bucket of cold water.

??M O
Sadly like many contributors to this site you don’t actually read reply’s - you prefer to expand on your own opinion
Your way too witty for me so I’ll leave you to your next comment
I’m sure there’ll be one

An article appeared on SDFC website today written by George Hampson which in part gave his side of the story of his sacking by East Fremantle last year. Not surprisingly it doesn’t paint Bill Moynahan in a very positive light and I am sure that the Sharks would have a different version of what took place.

I am a bit confused about why the club would see fit to publish something like this in round 4 of the season when surely the football department should be solely focused on winning some games. To me there is no benefit to rehashing history when George has left EF behind and is now a Swans player. The circumstances in which he left the Sharks are probably good for debate at an end of season BBQ but I find it quite amazing that the club would allow this material to be published on its website which is basically criticising the methods and communication style of a proven opposition coach. I think that this shows a total lack of judgement on the part of whoever authorised the publication of this article. The stuff about how he is settling in at Swans is fine because it deals with the present.
I am not having a go at Hampson,he has a right to his opinions. However I believe at this stage of the season,the club should have kept this in house and allowed George’s footy to do the talking.
Am I overreacting? See what you think.

Geez Michael I think you may have stirred old George up hahaha looks like he got a shitload of the ball and Swans broke the ice priceless :lol:

FIN…as a newbie on this site you’ll soon learn that some on here like to talk footy with a bit of banter mixed in whereas others get off being a pain in the arse for some obscure reason…no prizes for guessing which category MO falls into.

Interesting thoughts from a bloke on a swans topic.
Nothing you wrote just then is related to Swans or Hampson, must like the sound of you own voice

Haha maybe getting it off his chest has done him some good who knows? I still stick to my original point that George should put his pen down,live in the present and let his footy do the talking which he did in bucket loads yesterday. Swans also need to ensure that anything that is written in these player profiles on their official club site is not dumping on another club and their personnel as has happened on this occasion.
