Hindsight


It is the wise person who ignores hindsight, and looks in a forward direction (after all, we can all do better after the event). Many are the comments written by those who feel ,that they know or could do better, when in fact what they are basically attempting to do, is promote themselves. We at Trueswedenrugby, feel that the old adage still rings true,"Self Praise Is No Recommendation". Consequently we follow the practise of remaining anonymous, in order that Swedish Rugby takes centre stage. Whilst constructive criticsm will always be at hand, if deemed appropriate, we will try and keep a fair and balanced view. Of course, should those that wish to place a comment not do so, that is their choice and providing it is not malacious or destructive, we will publish it, if the writer chooses to remain anonymous, so be it. We of course have an agenda and we are proud to print it here, 'We want the best for Swedish Rugby and in our small way, we want to help promote it'. So we will always support the National Squads, the players, coaches, management and will give due credit to those who work unselfishly behind the scenes. From what we have seen during our short life, it is clear that the right people are heading up the squads and despite all the doom and gloom from others, they appear to be moving in the right direction.

  1. Looking forwards is all very well but not looking back to see and learn from the lessons of the past is a bit foolish.
    People may seem to have an agenda and may appear contrary but it doesn't mean that they are wrong. Galileo was persecuted by the Church for his views on the heavens but we know which of them was right.

    I think/hope that you mean selflessly or unselfishly.
    Unless it was a Freudian slip!

  4. You are of course correct in your view, that people should learn from the past. But the view was that we can all be wise after the event, however you should know all the facts first and then try to provide constructive points, rather than be destructive, which is boring and doesn't do any good at all.
