For those not going to the game.

Feeling confident of a good day today. Town 2-1 win, England 2-0 win and the jocks will draw!  :mrgreen:

Come on! Thorpe isn't in the squad, is he injured?

whats the squad then pip?

I read the Western Daily press this morning and it said Thorpe wants to leave and he is not in the squad.
It's say Collins will be sub. Ifil taking his place?

09:41 - 08 October 2005  
Tony Thorpe last night confirmed he is looking for a move away from Swindon Town. New manager Iffy Onuora revealed this week he has told Thorpe and fellow striker Jamie Cureton they can go out on loan in a bid to rediscover their form.

And on the day that Watford forward Hameur Bouazza joined the Robins on a one-month loan, Thorpe asked his agent to find him a new club.

Thorpe, 31, admits his summer switch to Wiltshire has not worked out, but he stressed that as long as he remains a Swindon player he will continue to give his all for the club.

He said: "I have spoken to my agent and we will try to get away on loan, but if not I will stay and fight for my place here.

"Things have not really gone well for me at Swindon and it's the first time in my career this has happened.

"Whether it's me, the others or my form, I don't know. I never really got started and things are looking bleak, although things can change quickly.

"But if the right club comes in for me next week or in a couple of weeks then I will go. But it might be a case of waiting until January. When the January window opens Iffy may need to get rid of a few of us to free up some money, and I would have thought myself, Jamie and maybe even Christian Roberts will be that lot.

"But while I am still here and being paid by Swindon Town, I will do my very best as always. It is a lovely club and the lads are great so I have no complaints."

Thorpe attracted interest from a League One club and two League Two outfits before August's transfer deadline.

He does not yet know if those clubs are still interested, and while he does not want to drop into the basement division, he said he may be forced to.

Thorpe is not in the squad for this afternoon's home match with Port Vale (1pm).

I really hope we win today ... I'm getting too much stick in my house.

Could be that Iffy has decided the top three earners Thorpe Cureton and Roberts are just not worth it. None has produced the goods despite numerous chances. Don't be surprised if all 3 are out of the squad!

Call me crazy but I still think Roberts deserves one more full game.

Then I'll totally agree with the statement that all 3 can go!

So Thorpe thinks it could be"The Others"-pesky ghosts!

Morning all (well it is for me, I've only just woken up). Can't get the bloody Swindon commentary, listening to the PV commentary instead  :x

Thats better, got it now !!!!

Just me and you it seems.

Bo, does that link work for every game?

Think so, I just got it out of the Franchise thread and it still works...

Thanks, I'll remember that for when the official link doesn't work. Game sounds exciting doesn't it.

Is that Rhys Evans as co-commentator?

cheers mate

Yes !!!!!

great move 8)

Im going for a wank!

FALLON  :mrgreen:

Get in, sounded like a cracking goal!!

Yeovil, wtf you doing on here?

sweet, just got on and we score!!!!!

Rooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrry

overslept,Spacey woke me up at 12.53 to see if I was going :(

I was only ever 50/50 if I was going due to 12 hour night shifts either side of the game.

Well done Rory son!  :beers:

we all have our cocks up in the morning

TAXI :oops:

fucking cunt

Sacks. :oops: Jammy buggers.

Bollox  :twisted:

CUNT BOLLOX FUCK

Mickey Fucking Bell to, inbred cunt

bum!

come on 2nd half

Im taking the dog for a walk ,will be listening on my phone

Time for another cuppa

It's getting to the point when Rory Fallon scoring first sends a bolt of fear down me!

I cannot believe it. Gutted.

Must win.

Just woke up. How we playing?

Fuck it I'm going back to bed!

I missed that, wtf happened?

Sounded like Heaton came out for a long ball and it bounced over him. :oops:

According to the Match Live console, attendance is 4531. Looks like all the King stayaways have made a huge effort to return - tossers.

Morning Gents. 1-0 up then 1-2 down. Sounds like the last few weeks !

NMH

People who used King as a reason not to go will be the same ones who use the England game as a reason not to go - like you said - tossers!

Normal service resumed.

So, it looks like Iffy may equal King's record of 4 defeats on the bounce.

So, what next ?

NMH

This is only Iffy's third game in charge.

We are going to lose again! :cry:

:( boo

MK Dongs winning. It just gets worse!

I know Iffy has an uphill task... But we need some experience by his side if he takes this job full-time.

Woany and Reeeeves isn't good enough.... Regardless to the final score.

The whole setup isn't good enough, and thats not a criticism of the three guys in charge, they are in that position through circumstance. The whole management structure of he club needs to be sorted, but financial constraints mean it won't be, so we have what we have and lets get on with it.

Bouazza off injured. Nothing fucking going right at the moment,  :evil:

Gotta laugh haven't you.

Christ.

Seems like more !  :(

See Evans is getting a bit excited !

NMH

I'm not blaming the referee, but FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Well that was crap wasn't it !

NMH

Walsall equalised.

Crap result once again. Sounds like both teams were poor to be honest. Just where do we go from here?

Its not looking good. Well done to the 4,500 or so that went to cheer on the team.

Up? :roll:

For the record, we play OK first half, take the lead, a poor refereeing decision + a deflected free kick peg us back, then a defensive error costs us a another goal. Heads drop, no ideas, another defeat.

Sounds kind of familiar doesn't it.

Vale were very very poor. As were we, draw would've been a fair result IMO. Vale don't deserve to be in 6th or wherever they are..

We were good in the first half i thought.  The passing was veracious and the players were trying hard.  Pook had the best game i've seen him play and Bouazza played well up front linking with the midfield well and done a couple of nice crosses when he went out wide.  The defence seemed ok apart from a stupid mistake that let them have their goal.  The only weakness in the first half was they had long period of times where Port Vale had a lot of possesion and no-one really wanted to take it from them untill they were close to the area.

The second half consisted of both teams being just as bad as each other and a lucky goal for them.  Ben Wells moved into the right positions and only had couple of touches but seemed ok.  Nothing much more to say other than that.

I'd agree. First half was good. Quality goal. Quality passes. Their flukey goal went in- our heads dropped.

Think Fallons goal celebration was to do with the paintballing...

No anticipation cost us dear. Too much ball watching from midfield. No one getting on the end of moves. Fallon can't be in two places at once.

Our major problem remains in midfield. Heath has had enough chances but is having little impact. McDermott laid in one decent ball and we scored from it. Otherwise neither did anything of note. Pook worked his socks off again. Who was the other midfielder ... oh yes ... Where's Whalley???

Ifil looked back to his best especially in one on one situations.
Jenks was composed and did well to last out.
Smith's bubble has burst - no overlaps, no threat going forward, no crosses

elsterap, can you change your avatar please, cos i can never concentrate enough to read anything you write, with charlotte church bouncing around in the corner of my eye  :soapy tit wank:

Or down at the end of the season !  :(

NMH

Afternoon lads and lasses! I went to the game and Im lost for words! How much more can ew give as fans for so little return, its nuts! Well done to rob for organising the loud and proud campaign! Fair play mate!

Started off really well... fans were great though seemed to quiten during the second half. Fallon's goal was great, we created nothing in the second half. Vale's goals were lucky... mistake from Heaton. Once again a happy start dampened by a sad ending.

Different game same shit.

I really don't know how we get out of this, the squad isn't good enough.  I can't see I-I-Iffy getting budget until Thorpe and Cuero piss off and who knows if anyone will want them. Even then will he have the contacts to get us what we need?

1-0 up after a great goal and we look good. Then we stop playing. This team seems unable too battle, some of that is confidence but not all of it. They were ppoor goals and in a way we were unlucky, for about the 8th time in a row. Except that can't all be bad luck, it's got to be indicative of something far more serious.


If we were 6 points off the playoffs I'd think "only 2 wins away" but being at the basement 2 games seems like 20.

And WTF has happend to Heaton? He seems to have gone from Evans beater to Bullman in 8 games.
