Scunthorpe United FC v Swindon Town FC Official Matchday Thread

To be fair Scunnie should be heavily fined for that. Wankers.

imagine if it had cost us a PO position or automatic promotion, there's little doubt that the pitch invasion turned the game

Exactly, our club always bangs on about no pitch invasions after the match, let alone during a match. This should be dealt with very seriously, cost us a semi v Yeovil.

Thanks for the clarification Batch and SY.  Conceding 3 goals not ideal prep though irrelevant if the pitch invasion unsettled things. What if Brentford fans do the same?

The switch to Saturday is a bit of a pain as well.  For the first time ever, I don't feel excited at being in the POs.  Not good, but perhaps a natural defence mechanism against what I think is probably going to happen  

[Batch]

I can't make the Saturday, and bugger knows if I'll be able to get an away ticket

Didn't Digby's last tenure as GK coach also coincide with Brezonan going from looking a very solid and reliable prospect to suddenly becoming sloppy and error prone as well?

 

Might be making that up. Input from anyone with a better memory appreciated.

I thought Brezovan was never really the same after his arm break

[adje]

Digby out!

Brez obviously had his broken arm by the time he came back the previous keeper coach (name escapes) had followed Wise to Leeds and we had Granville (I think)

Afaik KMac hasn't bought in anymore backroom staff aside from Cooper which worries me tbh.

When you're looking to save money, then it's only to be expected, that the backroom staff will be as small as possible.

Which is why I was surprised reading about the meeting in the week, that apparently we have a media manager person lurking in the background.

plenty of handbags in the car park afterwards and the satisfying sound of baton on spine

Just got back.  Strange game in a strange atmosphere.

We lacked in nearly every department today, only Collins & Ward earned any credit imo.  Although fighting for possible survival, Scunthorpe are a poor team, who really wanted it today, right up to the end.

I've no idea why Roberts goal was disallowed or what the penalty was for?  Ref didn't give it we all thought it was a corner.  Da Vita is a shadow of himself these days and looked completely 2nd rate.  I'm not sure how the POs will pan out, but we're a million miles from being a Championship side.

I've no idea what the formation was following the subs today, I presume he went for 5 across midfield? Not sure why as we didn't bother with a midfield prior to that.

The pitch invasion was as a result of a small section of Scunny fans & the right section of Town throwing their usual banter at each other, then we scored! I think (I was behind the goal to the left) our fans wanted to get a bit closer & it got a bit out of control, very few stewards or Police in the vacinity.  This sparked a stampede of about 50 odd "kids for a fiver" Brigade to race over from the far end.  Delayed the game for 2-3 minutes.

All round shit away day again tbh,

[THE FLASH]

I haven't read back through yet..

Didn't win!? Shame under the circumstances but who gives a fuck, we are underdogs to all of the rest anyway.

Was there any trouble? I heard something on the radio.

[Dr Pierre Chang]

More likely they're going to be mentally shell shocked.

Lets hope so...

[corner]

Jus see the goals, how the ref could give the pen I don't know, he was blind side to it and the Lino who had a perfect view gave a corner. Joke.
