We shall win. 3-2 on Biros

Really could do with this not going to pens tonight.I'm knackered and need as early a night as possible.Although as Masterchief is on i doubt i'll listen to it anyway  :-[

Austin with the winner. Can't be fucked to guess the score.

Lose 3-1 on quills after a dull 1-1 draw with Revell scoring.

3-0 win. Easton if playing and hutchinson with the goals.

I must confess that I am not fully au-fait with the mechanics of the competition this season.

Does it go straight to Richie Benaud's if a draw at full-time?

Is it on the radio - online schedule didn't mention it.

IT's certainly on BBC RS FM from 7. Not sure about online.

That's ok, I'll tune the old wireless in.

I say wireless, I of course mean dab receiver and amp and speakers with fucking thousands of wires.

2-1 town and can we please have a home tie next round.


Austin on the bench,interesting henshall has been named aswell.

Swindon Town: Phil Smith; Kevin Amankwaah, Gordon Greer (Capt), Scott Cuthbert, Lecsinel Jean-Francois; Jon-Paul McGovern, Jonathan Douglas, Michael Timlin; Ben Hutchinson, Alex Revell, Anthony McNamee

Substitutes: David Lucas (GK), Lee Peacock, Charlie Austin, Alex Henshall, Sean Morrison, Callum Kennedy, Simon Ferry

ace get henshall involved in first team stuff, just as fitton promised his parents.

Nice to see Henshall and Austin on the bench, less changes than I was anticipating TBH I thought Easton might have made the bench.

no easton at all?

Swindon Town: Phil Smith; Kevin Amankwaah, Gordon Greer (Capt), Scott Cuthbert, Lecsinel Jean-Francois; Jon-Paul McGovern, Jonathan Douglas, Michael Timlin; Ben Hutchinson, Alex Revell, Anthony McNamee

Substitutes: David Lucas (GK), Lee Peacock, Charlie Austin, Alex Henshall, Sean Morrison

im a bit suprised morrison doesnt start tonight also

Peacock and Austin will probably both get a run out. No Billy. I'm assuming he's having a good rest. Think he needs one.

I would love to see Henshall get on.

Is he a right or left winger?

Mrs Batch was right on Henshall! Mind you she always is right apparently.

Good team.

I guess Douglas is coping well with all the games? Ever present so far? Getting our moneys worth.

That's one of the first names I looked for. Maybe he and Wilson have had a falling out?

a good cup run would go down nicley as would a trip to Wembley

Although thb i would rather see us in the play offs

2-1 Swindon with Revell 1st Scorer not bad at 50/1

I want both.

Lets not get too greedy

10 Non-league signings since 1999?

Mark marshall
Onibuje
Phil smith
Lloyd opara
Charlie Griffin?
Kaid mohammed?

Charlie Austin.

charlie austin
ben martin

Darren Dykes.

Grazioli.

Also, King signed one of his mate's boy as a favour. Ben something. Can't remember his surname.

Grazioli was from Peterborough.

Ben Martin has been got now.

Oh for goodness sakes

Have I just been woooshed?

Paul Edwards - Leigh

Paul Edwards, signed from Altrincham

Indeed that is correct I txt that in about 20 mins ago.

Oh no, not at all Batch.

Andy Caton?

That bearded defender. I forget his name.

Do youth players count?

Caton did play for the first team. In fact he scored on debut if I recall.

And we're off. Stupid unexpected early kick off.

Chris Blackburn (who I look like when I have a beard) came from a league club technically as they got promoted, then we signed him

Caton taped it in from half a yard away at Wrexham - then was hyped as the next big thing.

T'internet commentary turned off :(

Chris Blackburn is the name I am looking for.

cunts cut the feed and radio devon is doing the southampton torquay game

Razak and Lecs were, technically, non-league players.

DW famously labelled them as amateurs.

Caught me too.

Doesn't really sound like I missed anything.

I bet Radio Swindon wanted 10 names, and the fans end up giving them about 20.

Besides weve signed hundreds of non league standard players over the last 10 years.

Anyone listening? Nothing is happening at the mo.

C'est tres boring

we sound the better team at the moment

Sounds like JFL and the Hutch are playing well.

goal.... macnamee

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

haha, fluke from macca!

1-0  mcnamee

Macca scores but it was a cross.

It was a cross! Haha

gol

Yesss, come on.

macca scores a fluke!yay!

 :D Well done Macca.

wooo hoo.  :grouphug:

He meant it......

Macca >>>>> Ronaldinho

good stuff  :D come on town lets kick on from here and get another.

Seaman = Marriot

:D

Southampton 0 - 2 Torquay

Who Scored? How did he score it?

Did't lucas get caught out like that this season.

You say caught out, I wouldn't blame Lucas for the Oldham goal myself. He wasn't ina bad position and couldn't get near it

"Flag kick"

Shot from the long punt Barry Corr

McNamee, with a cross, in the conservatory.

Sorry,caught out meaning it was a cross rather than a shot.

Over from JD, from an "innovative" corner.

Like the one on Saturday where JPM scuffed it and Douglas blasted it from outside the box? :D

Couldn't be arsed to go as I feel like shit. Ah well, my wife will be pissed, she loves Macca.......

Mcnamee sounding very good at the moment.

It sounds pretty end to end so far, but we have made the better couple of chances.

Great save from Phil Smith.

Phil Smith makes a good save

Fucking commmentators...

"STANSFIELD WITH THE OPPPOOORTTUNNNITY....GRREAAAAT save."

Didn't sounds like a bloody save to me, had a panic there.

Me too Nemo. When is Ed back?

Who are these clowns?

One is Rob Hartley.

Had a panic? Who cares? It's the piss pot shite anyway.

You not coming to Wembley for the final then?

Vic has been doing STFC commentary since the dawn of local radio mid 80's...all round nice guy. Hartley hasn't missed a game home or away for 25 years  ::)

I can't help but think that they are gonna murder 'stone cold's' first ever intro.

I think they are doing OK for commentary.

Another great save from Phil.

Nah i'm going to the play-off final instead.

AGAIN.

Smith having a blinder by the sound of it. Commentary is fine overall, but they don't rush to tell you if the ball's actually gone in or not.

'Alf time

Phil Smith playing well. Good stuff.

Im in oxford academy tonight taking the piss out of the tech manager who is a pox fan.

Me:  Are your boys playing tonight?

Him:  What Oxford, no.

Me:  Oh yes, sorry its the football league trophy isnt it.

Him:  Next time you come here ill paint the production office blue and yellow and call it the kassam office

Me:  You have to take a wall out.

Haha at the texter, made to look a bit of a pleb there.

(For those not listening, they went back to the Studio and the chap (No Mark O'D tonight, sadly) said that Jay had sent a text just before the start saying "What the hell is Wilson playing at with Smith in for Lucas. Smith is a liability, will let in two easy goals at least")

"the chap"

That's Hodgetts isn't it?

No half time ska?, fuck that.

Southampton 2 - 2 Torquay

Yeah that was my choice again for half time is ska time on Saturday....lurve that song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3hBYTkI-sE

Exeter started strongly, good chance from Revell though.

Jean-Francois having a mare.

2006 fans, of which 189 Swindon.

Does that shock you?

He's my favourite player. I love him.

Our scorer is pronounced macknammy according to the dopey bint on snn.

That's when she could remember his name !!!

I used to know a joke about Bill Withers. Well it wasn't a joke about Bill Withers but "It's bill withers" was the punchline.

Well there's the punchline for you and it was quite a good joke from what I can remember. A duck was involved.

How do you know when a duck is cooked?

When it's Bill Withers it's done.

Terrible.

Jogged my memory.

How do you make a duck sing...............

It's bill withers?

Thats awful

Oh god, it's the Chuckle Brother of Bill Withers jokes. To you, to me, to you, to me...

Got me down.

OK

A seal walked into a club............

Revell off, Peacock on.

On comes.......Peacock........

Pee Leacock returns.

Come on the cock

... And its bill withers?

I don't get it

Welcome back Mr. Peacock.

Haha, Peacock's a porker.

That picture on the OS the other week indicated this.

lets get a second then get Austin and Henshall on

Here, here Rodders.

Talking of only fools and horses, have you seen they are doing a prequel with Lyndhurst playing Rodney's dad.

And Jay from the Inbetweeners as Del Boy. Hmm.

Yes.

Set in the 60's obviously.

Sex, Drugs, Rock n Chips.

Has that guy from the inbetweeners as a young del boy. Wont be a patch on OFAH sadly.

Can't help but worry they'll ruin the memory of a classic. Like Shooting Stars really, which apart from Geordie Sofas and some other good sketches it's pretty disappointing, or at least failing to live up to the memories of the original.

Well just go and spoil the whole thing for us why don't ya?

But better that than ruin the original with moreepisodes. They already went several 'specials' too far.

Peacs misses good chance.

Peacock misses.

He has a rusty ring, apparently.

Austin on?Or is it. Nobody is 100%
....

Yes, Austin for Hutch

Austin on.

Here he comes, get the music ready!

Austin coming on.

I don't ever remember Peacock scoring a one on one for Swindon.

Stone Cold is on...

Haha how suprised does he sound. Lee peacock, through on goal!


STONE COLD IS COMING ON

I think that Peacock is under rated or at least under appreciated.

Go on Chaaaaarlie - ideal fixture for him to get 10 minutes.

Come on, bring on Henshall. Only minutes left.

Austins a fatty

He's also under shit and under good enough for us.

3 mins.

Shit.

1-1 Fleetwood. Shock horror.

1 - 1. Stuart Fleetwood.

gay

OH FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

theres a surprise.

Doh!

fucks sake

GOD SAKE

pens then

oh cock it.

fucks sake.

Twatcunt

Bloomin' eck.

Oops. At least Austin gets a longer run out and we still have time for Henshall to come on.

Corner. COME ON TOWN!

Yay deja vu. Austin with the winning spot kick......

No ET. Straight to Pens.

Straight to Pens though if it stays the same.

Pens are coming

Biros it is.

Pens it is.

Cockarama.

Has it gone to penalties by any chance?

i fucking hate bics

No extra time in the tin pot? Oh, that was an unpleasant surprise.

Haha, none of the scorers from Wolves are on the pitch :)

Come on Smithy, prove your doubters wrong.

But Greer is ;)

Although a trip to Wembley would be super-duper, I've been quite relaxed about this one. So here's hoping we win on the old penalty kicks but if not? Ho-hum we move on.

Why why why why why why why why can we not hold on to lead in the last minutes of a game? WHY?

Whose gonna take them then?

Peacock? Austin? McNamee? McGovern? Douglas?

Macca's off Dave, isn't he?

I think listening to Penalties must be the only thing, Radio vs TV, that's better. I expect.

Phil Smith should take one :D

is it bad to feel not that fussed

Are we winning yet?

Revell and Hutchinson wasnt it?

I've not really been listening.

Huddersfield have outdone Exeter, scores in 90+3 and 90+5 against Chesterfield  - who were 3-1 up after scoring on 90!

Not at all - I'm not totally anti-JPT because a day out would be great but a couple of rounds in the F.A. Cup would be far better and obviously keeping in touch with the top 6.

Yay.

1-1

Nice one JP.

1-1 after 1 pen each (JPM) for the radioless.

nope, my views are well know about the piss poor paint pot. pointless.

2-1

keep me up to date with score and scorers! no radio

No cheers when we score, it'd hard to tell what's going on.

Timlin scores 2-2

Yay.

2-2

C'mon Town,

Batch is obviously pre-preparing his replies :)

3-2

3-2

Smith got a touch but they scored. 3 - 2

Greer scores 3-3.

Yes I am Sam.

3-3

SMITH SAVES!!

Come on town!

Fair play Greer.

Nice edit.

SAAAAAAAAAAAVE by Smith

Fair play Smith.

save!

Beeb live text is keeping up very quickly

Saved!

Nice one Smithy. It's all set up for Stone Cold now....

Big Kev!

3-4 - Amankwaah

Go on Smithy one more.

4 - 3 Town! Amankwah

c'moon smith - one more save please

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin. Fleetwood misses.

Go Smithy!

fuck you smith haters

woop!

I bet Austin was going to take the last penalty wasnt he

denied.

Smithy 4 England!

WINNERS

hahaha wembely wembely

get in!!

Yay.

Yay! :D Even better than winning in normal time.

Well done chaps.

MK away next then :)

Town in shock penalty win !!!

In win one every now and again.

Is the draw on soccer am, saturday?

Ace. The Mighty Town march on. Fair play to Smithy, i like the idea of him doing well.

Yay. I feel shite and have spent the last couple of hours packing to move flat tomorrow, so even though I'm not all that bothered about this result, it's nice to grab a win so I'm a tad happier than before!

We need to do something about these late goals because they are going to cost us dear if we keep letting them in.

Yes. Charlton at home wouldn't go amiss.

What about the duck song?

How comforting to have a quality #2. Good on ya Phil.

I hope that Wilson gives the JPT and other (Maybe) cups to Phil Smith whist Lucas gets the league, surely that's fair.

And Tranmere loses again, getting knocked out by Bury.

is it still north south east west shit for the draw?

Just South and North now I think.

I believe it's just north and south now.

Southampton away? Ohhh that sounds good. Anyone know when it is?

W/C Nov 9th

Very pleased for Smithy

So FAC 7th JPT 10th

shame Austin didnt get to stick in the winner.

Well done Smithy.

Mustn't forget that Smithy helped keep us up last season with creditable performances towards the end.

pleased for greer

away would be better!

Anyone know if the highlights will be shown anywhere or have I just got to camp out in front of Sky Sports?

Apparently they are coming up on SSN, for anyone still awake/interested.

Yay!

4 games away from Wembley  8)

Sky just showed Macca's goal. He definitely meant it..

So as this is a mathday thread, is someone going to sum up ?

i heard that some of our fans were booing smith last night at the game, can anyone who went clear this up?

Bang out of order if true and people should be ashamed to call themselves a supporter

If true - not proper supporters - just twats.

It's not a surprise though, is it? There's people around me in the DRS that slagged him off in his last home game before we'd even kicked off!

Smithy's a solid Division 3 keeper. A solid Division 3 keeper, like all solid Division 3 players, makes mistakes. That's why they're in Division 3.

Some people need to get a bit more realistic and stop expecting to see individual displays that would grace the Premiership.

On another topic, why do some dismiss the JPT as a worthless competition? Just like the League and FA cups the final is at Wembley and, unlike the League and FA cups, we've got a realistic chance of getting there!

I think it's in vogue to pretend you don't care.

And it is pretending because everyone who says it is worthless will be on that Wemberley bandwagon when the time comes.

Wise words, its sometimes a case of unreasonable expectations.

I agree with that to a large extent but people expectations of what a keeper should do has risen this season due to Lucas arriving. His communication and general command over the defence has highlighted what we have been missing from our keepers for years.
Smiths main problem is he barely ever opens his mouth and even when he does it's not exactly the loudest shout, when he plays it is more than evident that some of the communication and organisation in the back line is lost.

This isn't really a critisism of Smith just that fans expectations have risen as we are lucky to now have a keeper like Lucas at the club. Lucas organises and communicates with his defence and going back through the years this is something Smith, Brez, Bart, Evans, Heaton, Mildenhall, Talia etc never did and it makes a hell of a difference.

I'd say that's a fair argument, but I do think Mildenhall, for the short time he was first-choice before leaving, did communicate and organise quite well - but the players he was organising were not as good as the current back four.

I reckon its bollocks when people say "he didn't mean it". Unless it gets caught by the wind, it takes a deflection or they mishit it of course they meant it. They kicked the ball so how could they not? They might not even be aware of what they were doing either, they just automatically figure out how to kick the ball and could on an unconscious level actually of been going for goal.

It seems barry corrs days could be numbered at exeter according to someone on their forum,shame if true but this was inevitable was it not.

Is he broken again?

So when you try and shoot on target and it spoons wide you don't mean that either.

Clearly if you're trying to do one thing and another happens you don't mean it. It doesn't really matter though, if a player has the opportunity to do something and it leads to a goal then whilst fortunate, they did have to create that chance in the first place.

I dont think so,i think things are just not working out for him.

Got to say that I'm not particularly disapointed by that, he has done nothing of any sort to impress me. That includes that couple of PSFs that I saw when you'd have thought he'd be putting the effort in to impress and claim a place. That said he has been unfairly left up front on his own some of the time so I might be being a bit harsh.
