I see nobody has started one yet, so I shall put my neck on the line.

1-1, with us getting a late equaliser through super Alan O'Brien (yesterdays excitement has obviously gone to my head!)

COYR!

Hoping they can carry over Saturday's good performance to tonight. Obviously a win would be great, but Bournemouth are playing well at the moment and if you offered me a draw now I'd bite your hand off for it.

2-2 (Ritchie, Benyon)

Team I'd like to see:

                                                           Smith
         Caddis                  Frampton                       Misun                   Sheehan

         Ritchie                   Dougie                          Ferry                  AOB

                                     Benyon                        Pericard (or Doessevi if Peri still injured)

i think dropping kev and cuthbert for the sake of it would be harsh. i'd stick with them but otherwise agree with your team

oh and i think it'll be 0-0

Heart: 1-0 (Benyon, 77. pen.)

Head: 1-3 (Cuthbert 59.)

Benyon won't be involved tonight, so will be the same team from sat.

Benyon had to be registered by the 5pm deadline to play tonight.He wasn't so can't play.

Some people in the excitement have got a little bit ahead of themselves.

Ah, apologies. Assumed if he was signed he would be eligible to play straight away.

3-0 Ritchie (2) Douglas

I didn't realise that Benyon couldn't play. Was going to predict a 2-1 defeat.

2-0 defeat and we haven't had a red card for a while so I'll go for Prutton to be sent off for 2 frankly stupid bookings.

I will be very happy with another 0-0 draw.

Oh fuck, anyhow I have still predicted a 2-1 win. I'm massively looking forward to my free beer etc

new boy to score but we'll lose 2-1

Hope they don't realise that Alaaaaaan is suddenly very good

Shame Benyon cant play.

Same team as Sat. Would be very happy with a draw. Lets just hope we can build on our clean sheets.

I am going so I forsee a 2-0 defeat.

anyone think jordan will be put on the bench?

3-0 Ballmouth

Really?

Wilson said on the radio after the game saturday as long as they were signed before 11pm they could play

I'm going, which is a decent omen considering the only other away game I've done so far this season was Plymouth in the cup when we won 3-0.

So 2-0 Town, both scored by MOM Alan Alan Alan O'Brien. Blind optimism go!

You missed a goal - we scored 4. So 3-0 tonight then?

My memory of games is absolutely shocking, I can't remember much after Morrison scoring. I'll take 3-0.

It's at Dean Court is it not?  I think with renewed optimism we'll grab a goal or two.  Would love it if Benyon is eligible to start.  I can see us nicking a cheeky win despite being dominated for long periods.

1-0 McGovern ('89)

Said on the radio this morning that he was eligible to play but was unlikely to be invloved.

Benyon can't play? That's a bit of a fuck up then...

Its not that he CAN'T play its that hes not ready.

Don't the league rules state that for a player to be eligble to be played the day afterwards then he has to be rgistered before 5pm or 6pm on the previous day of the fixture?

Eddie Howe knicked one of their players last night too  :D

I've never understood this.  Why is he not ready?  Has the excitment of a fat pay cheque given him temporary memory loss and he's forgotten how to punt a ball?  I understand he's probably not on the same wavelength as the rest of the team yet, but given our predicament up front surely he's capable of at least a substitute role tonight?  I'd be very surprised if he was eligible and not involved.

You mean one of the new Centre backs? Benyon is unlikely to play.

This is true. He'll certainly be match fit

Up against a better side so hopeful of a draw tonight.

1-1 

I think 2-1 defeat

Another 0-0 with the following side (hopefully);

GK Lucas
GK Smith
GK Scott
DL Kennedy
DL Rose
DL Sheehan
DL Lescinel
DL Frampton
DL Misun
DMLC Timlin
DMRC Douglas

Pericard's all over body injury to last until April - I hope.

Bournemouth 0-1 Swindon

And having a flutter on us to win, 4/1 Betfair if anyone's interersted

First away game for a while.. going for a 2-0 defeat, same as the last one i was at.. Oldham!  :)

im going for a cheeky 1 nil away win:)

Cuthbert 50/1 to score the first goal on Bet365  - got to be worth a quid e/w (1/4 odds)

That does seem generous, worth a quid for sure.

How does each way work on first goalscorer?

Just Leaving.

COYR!!!

I'll be in Greens or the Queens Park in a couple of hours if you want to meet. Wearing my STFC scarf

C'mon you Reds, this is a biggy for me living in B'mouth, can't bloody wait!

Wilson has confirmed that Benyon is eligible for tonight but has said he may not be involved, I suspect he will be on the bench

Head says 2-0 Bournemouth, heart says 1-0 Town.

Leaving in a few minutes. Difficult game, hopefully we put in a good shift tonight.

I'm suffering from both scarecrowbia and tinmanitus today, but my foot says we'll fucking trounce them.

If they score at any other time.

Anyone know where I can listen to this online ? 

I am stuck out in South Africa and don't want to miss it !!!

registration is midnight before a match so he can play

im going for 1-0 win ritchie to score  :beers:

The latest report on the Adver says he wasn't signed in time to be able to play tonight.

So 2-0 to Bournemouth it is!

Just noticed I am top of the Prediction league, having 'played' 2 games less.

 What does the winner get?

No Benyon, so either 0-0 or a 1-0 defeat.

3 - 0 B'muff   :cry:

Judging by previous years, a sense of desperation and the need to repeat ones self constantly.

Benyon had a badly broken nose before Saturday, which he broke again against Crawley, so I expect that's what is keeping him out.

2-0 defeat.

Didn't make the 5pm deadline to be eligible as per above.

Can't see anything but a defeat if Benyon isn't playing.

In the restaurant at the ground. First beer ordered, free wifi an all

:D

1-1 Ritchie for us from a pinpoint O'Brien cross.

So Dave, DV or whatever he is won last year then?

1-0 Bournemouth. We'll put in a decent enough display but the lack of goals will cost us.

0-0 perchance?JPM to miss a pen.

Caddis in for JPM and Benyon in the stand watching

Wish i was going...three matches in 7 days cant be done at the moment.

Got a feeling this could be 2-2.

Without wanting to be openly critical from before we pull off a surprise victory, I thought one of the most refreshing things about saturday's performance was seeing JPM and Amankwaah link up again. Maybe there are more technical, tactical reasons for the change, but it's a strange one.

Shame Benyon isn't available - but can't be helped. A lot of yesterday's signings didn't get through in time.

1-0 to Town. Third clean sheet on the trot. Dossevi to score. Come on boys.

Swindon Town: Phil Smith; Kevin Amankwaah, Andy Frampton, Scott Cuthbert, Alan Sheehan; Paul Caddis, Jonathan Douglas (c), Michael Timlin, Alan O'Brien; Matt Ritchie; Thomas Dossevi

Substitutes: Mark Scott (GK), Michael Rose, Simon Ferry, David Prutton, Jon-Paul McGovern, Will Evans, Aden Flint

How many do you reckon we'll take down? 500?

no Benyon?

In the stand watching.

Bit of a strange one.

Not signed in time to be available tonight

If we lose I await such comments as

- It was all AOB fault
- Why didn't DW sign any players?
- Fitton doesn't know what he's doing
- Wilson out.

Blah blah blah.

I think it'll be 1-1.

1-2. Austin Ritchie double.

shady, STFC-4-LIFE and NorwayRed will be online soon to get things warmed up.

Not even bothering with the pretence of a forward on the bench tonight then. What does Bodin have to do to get 5 minutes?

I'm looking forward to seeing Benners on saturday but tonight i'll go for 2-1 to the Town with Douglas (yes really) nicking a late winner.

Recover from his injury Dave / Rob.

What did he do? Bought himself a Blighty wound to save him from going over the top?

And who are you calling Rob?

not sure how i feel about tonights game can see a 2-0 defeat but would be chuffed if we come out of there with a result - C.O.U.R !

AOB not starting according to the radio

oh now he is starting they had the wrong team sheet   :clap:

I was all confident before I saw Richie and Dossevi, vaguely up front. We might score nil again , but can't see a third clean sheet in a row. Therefore a 1-0 defeat.

FFS, slipped on soap and did his hamstring no doubt?

there's a bordeline unhealthy amount of optomism on here tonight. I'm going for 2-1 bournemuff, town to put in a spirited away display but hearts to be broken in injury time with an arse/elbow winner.

We laid my uncle Jose to rest today bless him. He was a massive football fan and was always trying to turn me into a Barca fan when I was kid. He was also a closet Swindon fan and I remember him coming to the 1990 play off final with me.

So come on Town, win this for Jose !

they had the wrong team sheet so he is starting

Oh no! That's it then game over

Bournemouth were just too physical for us at the CG. 2-0 Bournemouth. 

3-0 to Bournemouth.

Swindon B (ie Southend) taken on the Pox tonight, hopefully all the ex SN1'ers still hold the hatred for the SCUM!

Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan, Al, Alan.

i dont think any of them ever played in a poxford match for us so i dont think they will

3-1 to the muff. Sam, can you enter this in the prediction league as its blocked for me, ta

We will win this evening.

[url width=300 height=296]http://www.thefrontloader.com/imagesforblogs/album_covers/philcollins_againstallodds.jpg[/url]

You make a fair point, still be nice to see a load of ex players do over the Pox.

In other news, Austin starts for Burnley tonight.

hyphens, hyphens!

Yeah, 'im :)

First post having secured a last minute transfer from occasional game time with the miserable bastards on the Thisis forum.

Looking forward to occasional game time at a Big Club Going Places.

I predict a tight one tonight, so I'll go for 6-6.  ;)

1-0 Swindon win Prutton to score late on 2nd half.  Cox also lines up in for WBA tonight.

So long as that git Rich Pullen doesn't appear again we'll be ok.

STFCplayer choppy as fuck for anyone else?

Yep
Been bad the last couple of matches

Yes :badmood:

Welcome, hope you enjoy joining us miserable bastards on the TEF. Ya cunt*

*traditional TEF welcome, don't take it personally

It's absolutely fucking dire

What's with all the newbies? Is there a name for people who only turn up when things are expected to go badly?

Undertakers?

Come on Town!

fecking horn  :badmood:

dossevi fucks up one on one

How did Dosser miss!

Dossevi!!  Shit......

I bet Jalal was relieved when he saw who it was ....

Dross'evi, OH DEAR!

I think I'll end up murdering someone tonight, that fucking horn, shit commentators, rubbish streaming and Dossevi missed a one-on-one.

Benyon would have tucked that away.

Bloody Dossevi... he really is bad.

Wish Benyon had been available! :)

Helen too.

Like Danny said, no pressure on him.

Quite easily - he has lots of practice  ;D

Shit, World War 2 commentator again.

Tranmere 1 up

Has someone brought a recorder with them?

Because he's shite.

Sir Winston should be happy then.

More like a kazoo...

FUCK

Fuck.

arse

No clean sheet tonight then

fantastic.

 :cry:

 :suicide:

that'll be about right then

Oh fuckity fuck fuck fuck

We've lost 1-0

Balls

So what you're all saying is that it's 1-0 to Bournemouth?

I feel like some self abuse. Any ideas where I can listen online?

Game over.

quote guy on sky. dossevi missed a sitter!!! no shit

Yes, huge deflection by all accounts.

Well, when you're shit so is your luck :)

Glad I did n't go tonight...

Smith saves with his back? How does that happen?

Should have been 1-0 up, but no, we're 1-0 down instead.  Typical!

Jesus wept... you'd think with that new experienced Greer replacement we signed in the transfer window would have shored up the back line!

Similar to Charlton's first supposedly  :doh:

delayed reaction: Jammy fuckers.

Main commentary is better tonight. Not Vic I assume?

Where the fuck is NorwayRed to tell me that Mark Marshall has scored for Barnet?

ALL OVER US !

Fuck off Feeney

No, not sure who it is. I'm only hearing half of it though.

poxford 1-0 up

The night just gets better - all we need now is a Yeovil goal

Smith Vs Bournemouth at the moment.

OXFORD WILL GO UP AND WE WILL GO DOWN AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!

[url width=350 height=263]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f6vPFbisEsA/S-NabctHeRI/AAAAAAAACfY/BInLCBrkLWs/s1600/panic.jpg[/url]

Man up kids.

COME ON YOOOOOOOOOOOOU REDS!

We have fallen into the relegation zone as it stands.

O'Brien hasn't got going yet. It will come together.

Sounds like the Bristol Rovers game all over again... Time for a defensive change at half time?

Thanks for that - now where did I put those razor blades?

Dossevi offside??? Really?????

Dossevi? Offside? Never!!

We needed to shore up the defence (despite the 2 misleading clean sheets), but instead we have a load of new young defenders on the bench/in the reserves... something doesn't add up.

Ha - Ralphy you beat me to it!!

What's Sam Allen doing these days?

He died in 1946? Oh.

At least the shitheads are losing..

I seriously think he needs coaching on the offside rule. Maybe Sian Massey could help ?

1-1

yippeee

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!


Caaaaaaaaaaaaaadissssssssssssssssss!

Yay!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to bbc we've had 61% possession and they've had 7 shots on target.

woo! caddis scores!

get in!!!!!

woophooo caddis long shot in wahooooo

Paul Caddis with a bit of a good finish

Have we scored?
It took me a while to regisiter that!!

Caddis you are a God!!  :clap:

CADDIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get in there my son!

yesss

Norway.

Get in there! Caddinio

Caddis flies in!

Dossevi, take note on how to shoot from the young Scotsman

his first pro goal COYR

 :D

I think he's beyond help now tbh

Caddis you little Scotch fuckwit!!....come on.

How do I seal my wrists back up? Gaffer tape or glue?

pugh pugh barney mcgrew cuthbert dibble grub

I could not be more behind this team. COYR!!!!!!!!

Kudos to Caddis, his first career league goal, ever.

Out of the relegation zone

I'm more behind than you.

Fucking hell.

FFS!!!!!!

fuck fuck fuck shitty defence

Not now we're not  :badmood:

Fucks sake.

What a pass that was

Its going to be a long long night.... :cry:

Get Flint on or something.

Back in it.

 :suicide: :suicide: :suicide: :suicide: :suicide: :suicide: :suicide: :suicide:

Are both new centre backs on the bench?

everytime were under pressure smith has been forced into a save were lucky not to be 3 or 4 down

COYR!

By the way: Mark Marshall has scored for Barnet  :zipped:

You're a bit late now.

hahahah

Damn!

stats on bbc suggest they are hammering us!!!

i had no optimism for tonight but just makes me angry how bad we are compared to a team in league two last year!!!

Why isn't Misun on the bench ?

Just Flint I think

not fit

There could be 6 or 7 goals in this game, making up for the last 2 games

I think he saw my previous post, right?

44% poss just 2 shots v 10 from them...

We'll fight them on the beaches!!!

I'm on for my 6-6 as well.  Good night all round so far.  I got 2,000/1 with Betfair for that scoreline, but they just pissed themselves when I asked for the odds on a Dossevi hatrick in amongst that 6.

Didn't know your son played for the Town...get him on!

I blame Morrison :)

Now they've hit the post.

Fucking hell, our defence is wide open.

I must admit I did, George

On another note: Jake Robinson scored on his debut for Torquay after 10 minutes. Beat that at saturday Elliot, and we'll love you forever!  :love:

They just hit the bar. This isn't much fun. Red wine is imminent.

Because aside from potentially Benyon, we've signed no one who can save us or has any experience of a relegation battle...

defence seems shoddy move cuthbert over to right and bring on flint

Very much in relegation zone with the 5 teams above us all having games in hand. :(

Sheesh.  Happily, No Beer January is now over.

Cuthbert is a shite rightback.

The co commentator is pretty switched on.......

"you don't wanna be in the relegation zone after 46 games".

Apparently, we want to be clear of the relegation zone, or area, after 46 games. Thanks for clarifying that

Fucking hell Ralphy, are you reading everyone's minds tonight?

weird game so far weve had 63% of possesion 3 attemps and theyve had 10

by the way we have ferry, jp, pruts, scott, rose, flint and evans on bench

this could be embarrasing

C'mon Swindon

you get battered if you cant keep the ball, or hold it upfront. We know dossevi is shit and somehow at the minute we are playing timlin instead of ferry!!!

:D

Noticed Austin missed from 6 yds for Burnley...

Why not? Away at Crawley in League Two sounds like super-fun!

Fucking hell, you're almost as miserable as that hyphened troll.

Get out of my head, goddamn you!

Is O'Brien actually playing tonight?
Not sure I've heard his name at all

Ah, clarity restored.

Well, last time Timlin played he was pretty good. Last time Ferry played he wasn't. In form player gets the shirt

So fucking what.

Are you suggesting that fans have, sometimes, irrational opinions on squad selection?

I know, i'm a little bit fed up with our plight... everyone seems to have the same solution, but it isn't the one being used by the powers that be.

Granted, we aren't managers though!

Heaven forfend!

It took a bobble.

Ferry overall is the better player and should be given the shirt, regardless of one good game this season from timlin

I always wondered why Westward Ho! was called that. It is named after the Kingsley novel.
--
Oh and they hit the bar.

Be fair, he had plenty of good reviews in the weeks after he returned from Southend.

Apparently we have had 69% of the possesion.

So on the basis that Bodin hasn't even made the bench tonight, do I deduce that Dossevi will once again play the full 90 minutes.  Wonderful news.  Personally I'd put Ferry or Prutton up front in the second half, either are more likely to score.

We're lucky not to be losing about 5-1.

89% of statistics are made up.

Half time. Same old.

I thought it was the name of a Cornish brothel

I don't care. Wilson is a passing manager. Surely we will get a lot of possession. Possession doesn't win football matches though. We need goals. Fuck possession!

I thought it was a carefully aligned gardening implement.

the pox are 2-1 down

Are you suggesting that we play hoofball?

Yeah bang it up to the big man up front....oh

At the game, playing well but losing, and we can't keep on like this. Their first was a wicked deflection, second Smith failed to hold a header. dossevi missed a one on one, ritchie's goal was good work with him and Caddis.

Not hoofball in a Tony Pulis/Drillo/John Beck manner, no...

But I would like to see our style of play a bit more direct and fast forward, yes!

You'd better carry on walking your dog Mong of Michinhampton

I'd rather play shit and win than play alright and lose

That made more sense in my head than it does on screen

Ritchie? I thought Caddis scored?

Thanks for the post though. Sounds like they are all over us from the radio commentary.

with suspicious minds

Who's Drillo? Anything to do with the infamous Egil Olsen?

They are not getting AO'B into it

Saturday was never going to be anything else than a one off I'm afraid to say.

I wish the BBC would stop reading out these texts from absolute mongs.

I despair, I really do.

Just got in, whats happening? Are we playing like a bunch of turds again?

Sentence the wrong way round sorry!

They look like scoring every time they come forwards, but thats more our defensive problems than them being any good. Game could still go either way, but need to cut out errors. No striker on the bench again worrying.

text them and tell them that then  :soapy tit wank:

Let's
Just
Read
That
Sentence
Again
Very
Slowly.

Incredible.

Have they worked out who our danger man is and neutralised him?!?  Or perhaps he's hung over after tasting his first champagne at the weekend.  :headhurts:

With Benyon standing a full 5ft 9 a more direct style would have to involve Pericard now that is worrying if that pratt, could not work with Austin alongside him then we really are in for more games like this. :eek:

Is the Wilson Out brigade gaining momentum again?  Not surprised, we are officially now occupying a relegation place at this precise moment in time.  It's certainly not remotely funny anymore.

Sorry is there a football game on - I have honestly lost interest.

At least there was a bit or interest/excitement when Diamond Mike was on the scene!

Not sure what a bunch of turds looks like although I suspect it resembles our defence!

Wilson is here until the summer now...

Sooooooooooooooooo everyone needs to deal with it!

My mate there has said they've had 4 free headers from corners, he thinks the same bloke, so someone is in for a bollocking. They are all over us, but we are still in with a shout.

o'briens just luring them into a false sense of securty, he told me

Egil Drillo Olsen, yes. Norwegian National Team coach in early 90s and now! Also were at Wimbledon at some point. Premier League's worst manager I guess he was branded...

Fuck off with every single matchday thread being over run with norwegian utter fucking nonsense

Yeah, I mean relegation isnt that bad for us, is it?

wrong. A direct style doesn't mean high balls. You can play direct on the ground as well.

Wrong. Fuck off

Take a deep breath, will you.

I love you too, Shithead  :clap:

Hes going blue :)

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong - Depeche Mode

whats even more annoying is the people accepting the fact we are shit and moaning at everyone for not being happy with being in the fucking relegation zone.

I didn't say that did I?

I don't think for a minute that ANYONE is happy that we are in the relegation zone.

wohoooooo

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Dosser hit the post.

Ritchieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee  Scores. Get the fuck in.

Woo!!!

Ritchie!!!

come on!!!!

Bloody hell will you all play nicely

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

Ritchie!!

Wilsons still here so, someone is happy with the job he is doing.

dossevi hit the post caddis cross ritchie scores wahoooo

Ritchie Ritchie Ritchie yeah yeah yeah

Who needs a striker!  :clap:

GET IN.

Front two combine to score!

Prutton will get that winner...

There are a few Oxford, Pikey and probably a few Joseph supporting Man City fans that are.

good work doss ;)

Ace!!! Just fell off my chair, get in!

Okay I can't deny that, but you know what I mean  :)

I've got no live commentary at all here, so can someone please update whether there is even the remotest sliver of a chance of any bugger getting an equaliser.  I'm presuming that we're not even close.

Any second now, perhaps Dossevi will get off of that treadmill that he seems to run on and streak past the Baldmuff defence with the ball.  What happens after that?  You decide.....

Its 2-2

Yes!

(I knew all along that we would be fine, of course.)

Yeeeeeeees!

We all have our ways to deal with our situation.

I choose not to drone on with the same old repeatative doom mongering. ESPECIALLY before full-time.

Winston was never the sharpest tool in the box.....

Will everyone just get along?

anyone else lost the commentary?

Dagenham 2 up

Bloody hell!!!!!  I'm going to write another post about possibly someone scoring a winner!!!   Wait for it, wait for it, ......

Okay GO!!!!!!!  Dossevi from 20 yds!!!!!

Ah well, worth a try.

Like the main commentator, but somebody shoot the dipshit co-commentator please.

douglas shot saved by keeper

Are we out of the drop zone now?

Burnely are losing 1-0

That post was aimed at DV and FWIW I agree with you

Yes (goal diff over Yeovil).

No wonder there are no peace in the world, when even football fans of the same team can't unite...

Ace, in your face Glovers!

the defence needs to stay strong for the rest of this half and let the attack get on with there job

They're just jealous because Norway is best.

Quite right.

Dossevi scores................


Disallowed for?????

Dossevi scores - and it's disallowed!!

dossevi scores and gets booked?

WTF  :(

Dossevi goal disallowed for....

answers on a postcard

dosevvi goal but doesnt count  >:(

Yeovil winning

The ref's turned into a cunt

cunty ref sounds absolutely shit

Caddis seems to be having a graet game..

Yeovil beating Plymouth.

I've just trawled through 22 pages of this...  I think some of you need to check the league.  Bournemouth are really good.  Swindon have been very average.  Anything from tonight is excellent, chuffed with the result so far.

I'd also like to point out Dossevi has broken his hoodoo (I'm crediting the second goal to Dossevi - he hit the post, which is harder than scoring, and the resulting play resulted in a goal).  Wheah and again.  The boy's got a taste for it, cue the floodgates bursting open.  Jan Aage Dossevi?

It's all sunshine in Swindon.  We've swapped a petulant teenager for a huge bag of swag, brought in the League Two wonderboy and O'Brien, McGovern and Douglas in particular are recapturing the form that makes us wonder what they're doing only playing at this level.

Anyone want to share the Prozac?

Mark Marshall update: Aldershot v Barnet ***ABANDONED DUE TO FOG***

Oh well done. Now they have scored and are above us, putting us in the bottom 4 again.

Why was it allowed and why did he get booked??

Back in zone on goal diff....

A win would take us to 16th! Its tighter than a nuns chuff down there.

it was DISallowed you anoying cunt

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

That's the attitude Batch... Ya Cunt.   :D

League is still really tight your right. Avoid defeat tonight and get a win sat and things would be looking better, with 4 games unbeaten. wishful thinking maybe

Fucks sake. Shirtlifter sent to the stands and Prutton coming on....

phil smith fluffed his punch

prutton is coming on instead of ferry

shirtlift is being sent off

Shirtliff sent off

Sad thing is Danny Wilson will still be in a job on Monday

Unless these loan signings are amazing why the fuck are we keeping this retard on

Grrrr...  Dossevi will[/will] score tonight....  No chance of sneaking Benyon on and pretending he's an albino, malnourished Pericard?

Why is that a sad thing?  Are you still smarting over Malpas' departure?  Wilson is going to live and die by the success or failure of Benyon...

Thought you were better than that kind of cheap Thisis talk.

Sorry but why don't you stick those sentiments deep into your ass.

Nope. You must be confusing me with someone else.

One trick poney manager.  Im thankfull for last season dont get me wrong, but just feel Danny isnt getting the best out of players who should be top 8 side minimum

It's spelled annoying, Woolster

I still don't think he's going anywhere but entry into the relegation zone will trigger a lot more panic.

More panic? Surely only the dead rising from the grave could produce more panic

Clearly. I see you do regularly comment on the tardzone.

Yeah, whatever tardzone is. Adver comments?

:D

fuck all y'all with your hostility and shit.

Find a nice spot...

We will see a new defensive line up v Rochdale with the new boys all coming in Rose back just for the dead ball play and Ferry back in the mid field where he belongs... and Lucas back in goal...

JPM for Ritchie. Fresh legs I guess.

have we just taken Ritchie off

WHAT
THE
FUCK
?>

All I could think of on the spur of the moment. :hmmm:

What's his trick exactly?

Why should we be a top 8 side?  Granted we're underachieving, but do stable, successful sides at this level sack their manager at the first sign of a bumpy run?  In our predicament, Wilson has done a good job (if he is indeed responsible) to attract the likes of Benyon to Swindon, but what makes you think managers of a calibre demanded by the fans would be interested in joining a club in the relegation zone with impatient fans?  I'm not happy with the relegation zone, but a defeat at Bournemouth is not a catalyst to jump on Wilson's back?  Losing at home to Yeovil, defeat at Rovers maybe, granted.

No loss.  He does fuck all as proved by another useless defensive display.

That's a great coinage. They should use that for the Football League Show "And now Lizzie Two Names reads out your statements of the bleeding obvious in our TardZone"

I bet he had fuck all to do with the last 2 clean sheets as well.

Thought you were better than that kind of cheap Thisis talk.

Dont want to just blame Smith...but he really makes some howlers at times

Didn't expect to win here tonight....but thats why we got to win our home games v the likes of Yeovil etc.

Let's be honest though, they've been few and far between this season haven't they?

Need to chase the game....I know, let's have a straight swap at LB.

Our form has been shit all season.  I remember when we beat Saints 1-0 at home.  We were absolutely dire.  Somthing has gone terribly wrong since the 3-0 in at elland road last season.

Look at our bench tonight.  If Dossevi got injured, what recognised striker would we brong on.

Each to there own with opinions, but i think time is up with Danny.  I hope he proves me wrong, but just cant see him getting us out of this mess

Hate football.

No, but we arent successful and this is a bit more than a bumpy run.

You got the wrong tard.

Bournemouth 4th disallowed for foul on Frampton

Look on the bright side.

Austin was subbed after 70mins, his biggest contribution (according to BBC text) was two fouls.

Curse of the ex-town strikers continues  :D

Its a reasonable effort considering the run they are on. Unfortunately effort doesn't give you points. I'm not sure if conceding 3 is a case of the opposition being good or our Achilles heel striking again.

I want to see Misun, Flint and Benyon in the starting eleven against Rochdale!

Apparently we need the ball up the other end of the field, really

best post all night

Maybe that's where we've been going wrong?

Big ask for Flint to step into the defence and stabilise it, his fitness is going to be well down at the very least. Don't know much about Misun, I guess he wasn't bought for fun.

Well, I don't want to jump to conclusions. Think I'll wait for more pearls of insight

Is lucas far away from a return?

23 shots by bournemouth as well!!! not being at the game its difficult to tell why its been so easy for them, but something has clearly gone wrong tonight somewhere

All this "hope he proves me on" talk is the among the reasons why Fitton hasn't been forced to consider Wilson's position.

People should either want him out with a replacement coming in because they believe that said new appointment can save this season or you get behind Wilson.

The majority wanted Malpas out and made a point of it. Most people want to be "proved wrong".

Not acceptable.

The league table does not lie- we are now in the bottom 4 with the teams around us all having games in hand. Danny has had more resources than most managers in league 1 and cocked up royally.

I thought football was a results business- win ratio now 7 in 28 or 25%

What I love about everything on here is that some have seemingly been watching training sessions, with people clammering for Bodin to get a run out etc.  I'll play up front if it means I'll get a run out?  Doesn't mean I'll be any good.  The reason there's no strikers on the bench is because we don't have any.  Perhaps Wilson should have addressed this, but I'd rather he get the right target than knee-jerk signing strikers who can't cut it at this level.

Wilson should certainly be allowed to see out the season.  Benyon could be a missing jigsaw piece.  We know the team isn't far from a playoff challenging side, and there's nothing to suggest Wilson is incapable of rebuilding it.  Indeed, on the whole I'd say his signings have been good, and I for one am excited by the signing of Benyon.

I'm not even sure what his injury is.

Doubt Smith will be dropped anyway. And to be fair Lucas was pretty poor when he played this season.

So close!!

Goal-line clearance from Bournemouth!

Bugger, out of time

Rubbish as usual. I would say if we lose to Rochdale Wilson has gotta go but he won't. Fitton will keep him till the end of the season. I'm looking forward to League 2...

Bollocks. When you're near the bottom nothing goes for you.

pretty sure it was said that flint was match fit? but misun isnt, so may see flint come in. i don't think its worth dropping frampton, need the experience.


full time, fuckety fuck fuck

Are you Peter Shirtliff?

Sounds like we played well from the radio? Away at second-placed side at that?

Id say thats the best post of the night rather than fuckwits clamouring for the inclusion of players they know fuck all about.

We're 5 points off 11th. Bad result. We're playing better. Add Benyon and 2 more strikers into this and we'll be ok. Turn the radio off, don't listen to the mongs texting into BBC.

Yes but we lost Paul. Bournemouth aren't invincible, they're a league 1 side. So we should be expecting at least a point.

Rochdale equalise in the 5th minute of injury time, so some good news  ::)

We are now relying on other teams results.

It doesn't look good at all.

Like i said they are a good team..........but we needed something because of the two draws at home.

Will have to wait from those that went and see if our defending was woeful, unlucky or Bournemouth were good. It is another 3 goals conceded though :(

Not sure whether to be encouraged or not! One thing is for certain, there is a long way to go in this season and now is not time to panic.

Rochdale is a must win with three away games after it!

Pressure is on and highlights what a waste not getting these forwards in at the beginning of the window for the home games was.

Wilson is the right man, i dont think anyone else could do better in all honesty.

Really? 2nd at home against 20th? Don't think anyone was expecting us to compete, much less run them close. At least a point?

It's the 1st of bloody February!

This conversation has been going on for weeks now.  A couple of 0-0 draws at home and we think there's a glimmer of hope we're turning it round and then bang we concede three again.

As each game passes, Wilson's record becomes more and more dismal.  The only way we will stay up is by getting some luck and other teams falling apart, I doubt very much it will have anything to do with Wilson's managerial skills.  Unfortunately whatever happens from now on, we're continually going to be reliant on other results going our way.  

Maybe I'm being Mrs Negative, but I'm genuinely surprised by the amount of people on here tonight who don't seem unduly worried that we're now in the relegation places?

And I'm going to change my Avatar, I'm sick of being reminded of that night at the Valley and how it's gone so wrong since!

If the teams below us win their games in hand we'll be 23rd. Only 4 points above Walsall.

We scored two goals, had one disallowed and had plenty of chances (Caddis right at the death).

It's disappointing to concede 3 (4 if you count the disallowed goal for them) but Bournemouth have been scoring for fun lately.

All hope is not lost.

Yeah, don't disagree with that at all - but needing and expecting are different, is all I was saying

Which, as teams in the relegation zone, would seem unlikely

I was.

Don't worry Mr Moonraker, I just looked at the games in hand other teams have around us.

As faithful as I am, it's intimidating and we'll be keeping a close eye on each fixture. Hence, relying.

We are all worried by it, but its not inevitable we are doomed.

Unlikely but not impossible. Anyone can beat anyone in the league this season as it's shit.

Actually the 0-0's at home worry me a lot more than losing away to Bournemouth. And I worry most of all about coming away from "should have won that, played well, but at least we got a point" games at home. Because that feels all too familiar from the relegation season.

Agree and to be fair it sounds like we were decent tonight and didn't get much luck which is what happens when you're at the bottom like we are. Bournemouth are having a season like we had last season where everything just seems to go for them.

Big positives are that we scored 2 without and real decent striker, we had chances for more and it now sounds like we at least have some spirit and fight in us which wasn't there a few games back.

It's not the end of the world. Makes for some pretty horrible reading though.

i didnt realise other teams around us had so many games in hand, yes i know it counts for fuck all BUT, wovers have 2 on us :eek:

Danny Wilson and Peter Shirtliff will guide us to League Two. If Fitton's plan is to rebuild from League Two, so be it. He didn't take action in early january, so with the transfer windows closing there is no point taking action now.

Let Wilson work his magic until May, and let's see where that takes us.

League One or League Two really doesn't matter, because I will still love Swindon Town Football Club - and I will still hate Swindon Town Football Club. That's how it goes when you're passionate about something!

Goodnight from Norway, 1+ hour GMT

What does it take to see that the defenders on display this evening and all season are not good enough, Wilson already has the replacements lined up and we will see wholesale changes on Saturday, whether they are good enough is another question. You will not see some of these defenders play for us again!

TBF Bormuff are something of a curio....fuck all money, sold 2 strikers this season and lost a manager, appointed a scummer with no experience...yet keep getting results. Logic dictates the wheels have to fall off sometime soon, so tonight would have been as good a night as any.

Fair point. But you don't go expecting it, do you?

What a difference a year makes?  This time last season we were going anywhere and expecting to come away with something.  Ah the good old days  :cry:

its not sept either :hmmm:

Looking at the table Plymouth are only 3 points above us and they've played an extra game. Some teams have 4 games in hand on them so expect them to sink like a stone. Hardly surprising considering all the players they've sold.

Actually it is. Our sun will eventually, inevitably burn itself out, condemning our whole planet to an icy death. I just don't think that event will be precipitated by losing away at Bournemouth

On that point what do people see as the problem area.

Cuthbert, Sheehan and Amankwha were good enough for us last year. Is it loss of form or loss of Greer that has knackered us, or something else?

There isn't a leader. Which Greer was last season.

Because of there league position they can play with no fear.....unlike us alas.

Probably the answer to your question Batch.

I dont think Ive heard Wilson talking out like this against the ref yet this season.  Interesting to see the highlights when they come up.

Wilson could win every remaining game of the season and there'd still be voices of dissent.

Our major problem has been up front.  This has been pinpointed by comparitive goal scored/conceded posted on this forum at the same stage last season.  Paynter was ousted, Dossevi and Pericard were trusted in replacing the goals.  Sadly they weren't capable, and it's been suggested Charlie began to become Big Time.  Due to the nature of the transfer window, Wilson has struggled to fix this.  Throwing Bodin (or <insert random 15yr old here>) into the fray will not yield multiple copies of Charlie Austin.

If we're relegated, then I'd agree that Wilson's time is up.  But I've seen enough about us this season to suggest we'll stay up.  Maybe a glance at the table tonight will be the catalyst to propel us up the table.

Tonight is not slit-your-wrist, punch your missus time.

So, on the upside:

We've played well away at a team still (bafflingly perhaps) challenging for promotion
Sounds like an improved display from Dossevi - actually hit the net, for one thing
We've scored twice without a recognised goal scorer

On the downside:

Defence still ropey
Good performances without points don't get you anywhere, especially where we are
Sides below us are closing the gap
We're in the drop zone
The negativity will go through the roof

The big thing for me as well is that in the 2 games since you know who went we've actually looked and sounded like we have a bit of team spirit about us that we didn't have before.

Back at ya dude.  :toocool:

Wilson on:

- Played well today
- Ref lost us the game - Doss disallowed goal, foul on Ritchie, Foul on Smith. Not happy with him. Say he ha word an ref is oblivious to any of these points. Really ripping into him!
- Wilson says he Dossevi has done nothing wrong. Players are flabbergasted as they've been cheated...
- Ref said Diossevi booked for persistent fouling.
- Their goal their was foul on Smith before the melee
- Could have been two up before they scored. Disappointed TD missed his early chance - he needs a goal.
- Thought Caddis was outstanding.
- Poor marking for Bournemouth's second goal.
- Not threatened us at all until their 3rd (in second half). Reiterating aggrieved at ref's decision.
- Looked goo after our second equaliser...but...
- One of our better away performances. Didn't have the luck again. Not just down to luck but down to decisions.
- Worried about our position but looking at performance we can get out of it.
- Benyon will be hungry to play and do well
- Next week we might have more options-1 complete (striker) on loan and hopefully 1 more

To be fair Wilson seems pissed off rather than excuse making

Edited. I'm a bit ashamed of myself

Exactly.  Im sure that the big time boy was proving disruptive.  The performance on saturday certainly looked like we were on the way to being a team again and it sounds like tonight is the same.  That is why I still strongly believe that despite our current situation we will be ok this season.

Wilson said a striker has signed on loan. Can he play on Saturday or does he have to wait until next week to join us?

Agree with this

its more likely we'll be consumed in a fireball when the suns fuel runs out and then expands at a massive rate, but they its all doom at the end of the day

I bow to your superior end of the world apocalypse knowledge

Oooh I wonder who it is  :sherlock:

did he fuck say that if so then i missed it  :doh:

Hold on, there may be an extinction level even in the form of meteor strike way before then.

Performance means fuck all if we have nothing to show for it.

Officially in the relegation zone now, and the massive MASSIVE concern is the 3 teams below us, and the 4 sides above us, ALL have at least 1 game in hand.

We're fucked.

You missed it.

When exactly does the loan window open?

I do agree (made the same point above). But against that it at least gives us hope we can turn it round. But then I remember telling myself this about "glimmers of hope but we only got a point and it's not enough" games on the road to relegation to League 2 last time.

This is true but there could also be a nuclear apocalypse tomorrow. i still think this defeat to bournemouth will in fact bring on the end of the world, youd think so from the thisis lot anyway!!

well no-one else mentioned it and they havnt mentioned anyone signing if he said yes were working on someone then he says that all the time

About 5pm on Saturday if we don't beat Rochdale

Batch did

didnt actually say anyone had signed, but one is all ready to sign when the loan window opens, and hopeful of another  aswell. i'm really looking forward to seeing misun play at some point i reckon he'll be a good'un! go on me son!

I hope not, I've got stuff to do.

yeah so we havnt got a player on loan then he just said we might

Yes that's right.



The loan is a done deal rather than a "we hope to" deal. I guess its a paperwork exercise when the window opens.

We can only loan players for 90 days, I guess that is only just shy of the end of season.

if it was a done deal he would of said who was coming in

No. Because if it's a loan then another team could come in and ruin the deal.

the league table does not look good.
gonna be a close call to stay up,but at least it makes things interesting.

He said (I think) it was "complete". Not sure why they haven't released the name. I suppose its never truly done until the paperwork is pushed through.

The other player was a "hopefully.."

I'm glad I heard it. My imaginary friend Bernie heard it too.

exactly, so its not a done deal a contract is still signed on a loan which if it was then a contract would be signed and no other club could come in

Text from a mate who went: "If we play like that we'll beat most teams in this league, general performance improving. No luck, extremely poor ref. On another day we'd have won. Their first was a massive fluke, shot cleared off the line at the end, Dosser hit post and missed 2 sitters. If Benyon was playing we might have won. Unbelievable how quick the fans turn on the team even when there's no lack of effort."

its as much a done deal as possible, obviously its all agreed with the player and club but just need to wait for it to be signed. think of it this way, if youre engaged and had a date to get married to your lovely wife, youd say it was a done deal and just waiting for formalities :)

The other concern is that for some reason we seem to have played more home games than anyone else.  We've still got to go to places like Huddersfield, Brighton, Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton (or could that be a guaranteed 3 points?!) and more.

Stating the obvious, but Saturday is a must win game to push on that team spirit that seems to have resurfaced and instill a bit of confidence as well.

unless of course youre into men, but the same thing applies for civil partnerships

The majority of people would rather not believe people who've actually seen the match, just text and write like the fucktards they are.

Im glad to hear we continued the improvement and look forward to turning the corner in the next game.

If you look at the table it's so tight in the bottom half. Two wins on the spin and your in midtable.

Even though the teams in and around us have got games in hand it doesn't mean they're easy games, they could be games with sides in and around them or against superior opposition. If you look at our home games, all of them should be winnable and even our away games, which are against the better teams who we normally do well against.

Plenty to play for, Benyon signed, hopefully a few more quality players on loan, Misun ( who by all accounts is quality) will be involved with time and most importantly team moral has improved.

Lets keep the faith fellas.

More match reaction. This time for a Bournemouth fan on another forum: "CBA to summarise too much but Swindon were probably the best side to come to DC this season and will be fine. They looked very dangerous when attacking us and that is without their new striker Benyon who will probably find the net for them. They murdered us down the wings and could easily have won."

"Without trying to sound patronising, it can be shit at the bottom and luck doesn't go your way, but if you play like you did today you'll win more than you lose.

Most teams come to DC and get steamrolled or just play negative football (Brighton) but you really went for it, and I said from the start to my mate I'd have taken a point all day long, absolutely ecstatic with an undeserved three."

Well there you go. We're officially doomed.

Pessimistic cunt :D

It looks like Bourneouth couldn't name 7 subs. Despite selling players and changing managers they seem to keep rolling on. Lack of stability doesn't seem to worry them.

They promoted a manager from within though in the form of Bradbury so in some ways that is stability.

Disappointing result tonight, but on the commentary it sounded like we didn't get any of the luck. Deflected goals, clearances off the line, ref being a tosser.

Benyon being added to the side will give everyone a lift on Saturday and a good result could see us go on a roll. I know IRS been said before but by all accounts we actually played well tonight against a side who are flying.

We'll be fine. I think.

Problem solved we promote Shirtliff - doh!!!!

Yep, I heard it!

Grella

 :D

Was a tough game today, just felt the luck didn't go our way. Dossevi for All his effort really struggled with his one on one after a few minutes, caddis finish was very good. You get the feeling the team are playing a bit for each other, just need the rub of the green and someone to put a few in the net

I have no doubt we'll pull clear of the fucking dross languishing near the bottom of this division within a month or so. We have the players to more than reach a comfortable position.

Granted, we have a few away games coming up, but the players seem to be playing more as a unit in the post-Austin era and the new faces Wilson is bringing in will freshen things up.

Been back about 15 minuites, apart from a few kicking outs from the stewards wasn't a bad trip.

I can't be arsed to  read through the entire thread, but some of you are getting scarily close to describing us as "t** g**d t* g* d*wn". The worries me a bit. If I find that anyone posts those words on here in full anywhere I will hunt you down and kill you like the dog you are.

Few Bournemouth fans saying we're the best side to have played there this season.

Gotta be a good thing right? Maybe the squad is galvonising now...

I think this is the first time in a very long time I haven't felt shit after a defeat. Mainly because there's some decent posters on here who seem to find some nice positives to throw in amongst the pessimist's vitriol.

I heard it on the radio, so can't comment on the game, but I think we seem to be improving and playing as a team now Burnley have signed a player from us. I don't care why, it could be a coincidence, I just hope we can build and continue in this vein, because by all positive accounts we're now starting to do things right.

I think if a girl posts that she is 'too glad to go down' and your response was that, it would worry me. Probably more so than Fatbury chatting up Toni.

Although I'm more worried bythe fact that fatbury is now 'following' me on Twitter.

Got back 15 minutes or so after an interesting drive home in some ludicrous fog.

Can only echo the thoughts of those that went to the game and Wilson. We deserved at least a point, probably three from that game, but the luck just isn't going our way at the moment. Ref was a total shit, not just for us (the Bournemouth player yellow carded for being jumped on by Phil Smith being a personal highlight) but more importantly for us in allowing their third and not ours, when they looked at best similar calls.

Dossevi worked very hard and played well as a second striker, but missed an unforgiveable one on one and a few other chances, he reminds me a bit of Paynter in the first six weeks or so of last season when he was in and out of the team. Was knackered at the end and needed a rest really, which is why it would have been helpful to have a Youth Team striker on the bench even if they're not ready- I'll be surprised if Dossevi starts on Saturday now as he ran himself into the ground tonight.

Caddis had his best game for us at right wing, his goal was very well taken. Luck was against us though, their first was a horrible looping deflection of the kind that you can't do much about, second Phil Smith made a smart stop from a header but it fell to the feet of a Bournemouth player and the third could easily have been disallowed.

Keep the faith.

Just got back from the pub. We won yeah?

Having not waded all 35 pages here's my brief take on it.

Good: the way we controlled the game from start of second half till we scored.
Caddis performance was very good, he seemed to provide the most threat we had.

Bad: defending especially from set pieces in first half. How many free headers did we give from corners till they score, ditto The ridiculous flapathon and lack of clearing for the third goal. The disallowing of Dossevi's header - have been able to see a replay and its a mystery as to why the ref blew when Ritchie, at worst, runs into their defender and goes down.

Though we had some horrible luck I think we are still in big trouble just because the defence was too much of a mess for too long.

Apologies if that's what everyone else has said.

We were poor first half in defence, they sat far too deep allowing Bournemouth too much space in our area. But, overall it was a fantastic commited performance. You could see our boys were knackered by the end.

The referee lost the plot at the crucial stage of the game when we were battering them. The Sheehan booking was the most undeserved yellow card I have ever seen in football.

So overrall, no it doesnt get us any points. But I think the players showed they are fully commited behind Danny Wilson and sacking him would be madness.

Terrible driving conditions on the way home. Glad I didnt have a beer, because I needed 100% concentration to get through it.

Entertainment 8/10, Our team 7/10, Team's effort 9/10, Our fans numbers wise 7/10, noise wise 3/10, referee 0/10. Dick.  

fuck me i admire your stamina ben!

a large proportion of the wrist slitting/negativity/wild panic seems to be from people posting during, and therefore not at the game. Just sayin'.

Far from perfect but the performances are getting better in the last few games. Carry on like that and the results will come.

I can't help but nod and agree every time I read your posts.

can all women and children get into the life boats immediately, everyone else cling on to the ropes :boat:

Spencer_White, London_Red, JanAageisGod, Nemo & Barry Scott - thank you for talking sense!

Think I can change that.

deadmau5 are shit and anyone that likes them is a cunt
 
 ;)

Well what can you say about that game that hasnt been said?

Worst reffing I have seen in nearly 40 years of following the Town, terrible, the dissallowed goal by Dossevi.....then booking him for complaining about it....what the hell was it for? must have been a sneaky push by someone that only the Ref saw.

1st half we were defensively a shambles, Amankwaah had a mare and was beaten every time, we couldnt deal with the crosses or them beating our offside trap with pace, they looked like they would score on almost every attack.

The first goal was a flukey deflection that looped over Smiffys head when we all thought it was going over, and against the run of play at the time.

Caddis goal was a supurb move and passing on the right side with Caddis cutting inside and doing what Dossevi should have done with his chance minutes before when he was clean through and even though the keeper saved it I can say that it was going a yard wide anyway, great pace and control by Dossevi but a dismal finish, Caddis on the other hand took it with relish.

The 2nd goal for them Smiffy fumbled a shot and no defender picked it up and it was smashed home from about 3 yards unmarked.

2nd half was a total transformation, we were all over them for pretty much all of the half, both wings being used well with some good crosses in the box but with no target man there, Ritchie sort of played as a 2nd striker slightly behind Dossevi but was pretty much lost for most of the game until he popped up with a 6 yard knock in for his goal after Dossevi hit the post after some great movement and passing.

Then the ref decided something had happened when Dossevi scored what looked to be a good goal, only the ref seemed to see it and I wait eagerly to see a replay of exactly what happened.

Boremuff then hit us on the break, man they have some fast players, Smiffy made 2 excellent point blank saves before the ball fell to one of their players and he really smashed the ball in the net.

We had another couple of chances late on but couldnt finish them.

a game of 2 halves for us, 1st was poor 2nd was excellent, we passed and moved but missed the finish of a top class stiker up front, should have been a draw at least, could easily have been a win in the end.

A couple of mindless young kids being dragged out for abuse otherwise there was little trouble considering how bad it could have escilated after the diabolical decisions by the so called ref.

I disagree a bit with Spencer about our fans, we pretty muchh drowned out the locals and thought we did pretty well on the noise stakes, more like a 6/10 otherwise spot on.

If we play as we did in the 2nd half we will get results if we play like we did 1st half then we will be relegated.

Looking forward to saturday now i dont mind getting beat but its the manner of defeats that has got me this season the last few games have shown us they have a bit of grit and quality. this season is a write off now so lets just get safe quickly have a good finish and push on next season. Wilson has baffled this year but is here to stay so lets support and make sure we are league 1 next season. the players and managment have to realise tho that when the effort is evident they will be supported. when they roll over and die they wont.

We were much better last night. Extremley unlucly.

Their first goal was a complete fluke, nothing Smith could do. Caddis was brilliant last night, he took his goal really well and was a constant threat. Their second was easily aviodable, their player had a free header and they were quicker to react when the ball came off Smith.

After this, I thought we would rollover and let them steamroll us but fair play after half time, we came out and battered them for the majority of the second half. Ritchie scrammbled in an equalisser and it looked like there would be only one winner, but then the ref decided he would become a cunt. Firstly, he dissalowed Dossevi's goal for a foul ON Ritchie and then allowed them a goal after Smith had been taken out while trying to punch. Even then, we had a couple of good chances but it just wouldnt fall for us.

Dossevi had one of his better games for us, ran his socks off and was unlucky not have scored tonight, he did have a great chance really early on which he really should have done better with.

The back four seem to keep getting caught flat footed a lot. Although, despite conceding 3 goals, they were in large parts, solid. Two of their goals they could do nothing about.

Douglas was his usual solid self but I still fail to see what Timlin offers over Ferry and Prutton. I have no idea what Ferry has done to Danny this year, I feel he would offer so much more in the middle.

Ritchie was good again, I'm not sure he is an out and out striker though.

However, I was fortunate enough to be able to pick up BBC Wiltshire after the game and dear god, I despair. Some of the complete utter cuntish twats who were texting in were driving me crazy. That annoyed me more than the game itself. The highlight being someone texting in and saying 'Phil Smith is the reason we are shit, drop him Danny' Oh do fuck off, were you at the game, of course you weren't ypu stupid cunt. He did nothing wrong.

All in all, a very good performance, we were extremley unlucky, everything went against us. If we play like this and add a striker or two, then we will start winning.

Next job for the TEF Pressure Group, perhaps?  After the game, flood the BBC Radio Wiltshire text line with well-considered, thought-provoking and constructive comments...and in the process put the dampeners on the tardfest.  Just a thought.

Tut, I can't take you seriously when you think he's a group!

A good idea in theory maybe but "well considered, though provoking and constructive comment"? You sure you're not mixing us up with the Today programme? :)

Schoolboy error.  :doh:

Count me in, can it extend to the facebook page as well which is eually as painful.

We went to the 2nd place team and gave them a right good game, I know we need start turning these reasonable performances into wins but there are plenty of reasons to believe we can get out of this mess.

I might have my head stuck in the sand slightly but I don’t think we will have any problem getting out of trouble. This team is infinitely better than those we have had during previous League 1 relegation battles in the last 10 years or so, manager included.

Bournemouth fan here.

Tried posting a longer reply but don't know what happened to it!

Langers and JJEdmund have summed up what I was going to say pretty well. You were by far and away a better side than when we played you on New Years Day. Your two wide players had pace to burn and gave our full backs a torrid time but you are shakey at the back. Don't understand some of the criticism of your keeper on here he made some saves early in the game that kept you in it. First 20 minutes we dominated, the rest of the half was fairly even, Second half you came out of the blocks and deserved to equalise and at that stage if you had gone in front we couldn't really have complained. After we got the winner we pretty much dominated the last 15 minutes but saying that if it hadn't been for a great goal line clearance you'd have equalised in the 93rd minute.

With Benyoun up front I'm sure with the wide service he will score the goals that you need. All in all a good old fashioned end to end game of football spoil a bit for both sides by the ref.

I live near Swindon so it was a crap journey home in the fog last night. Look forward to the visit to the County Ground next season for my home game (assuming we don't by some miracle go up). Good luck for the rest of the season.    

I do need some back up. Tis fun acting a twat to rival fans though. Some right planks on there.

I don't think it's a case of wanting wilson to stay, I think it's a case that getting a new manager in now would be too late to change anything

On an aside from last night.

Watching the warm up.........Aden Flint......this kid is massive! quite easily the tallest Swindon player I have ever seen, looks like Peter Crouch but with a small bit more meat on his bones.

Thank god for that!

Ok heres my penneth...

Parked off street no probs...

Arrived at the ground and tried to get tickets....guess what its CASH at the turnstile.

Two things:  I am sure we were not told CASH on the gate...please correct me if wrong! AND no ticket stub???  Hillieresque fiddle?

Went into downstairs social club and had a drinkypoos....very nice.

Team sheet handed out....Was wrong JFL playing and no OBrien in the squad....unhappy til i get in and realise that team sheet handed about is wrong....

BUT....the bench....IS right!.........no Attacker on the bench.....WTF.

I knew Benyon was signed too late but FFS cmon Wilson!  Was Bodin injured?   How long has Austin been going!!????  I fucking despair!

Match went well for us and like Exeter we started well and had a bit of fight about us.

Doss had a gift which he spurned big time....90% of the goal to go for and he fucking aims for the tightest bit...

Their goal was a good run but a sort of double deflection sent it up and down and Smith was beat.

Caddis slammed in the equaliser...great stuff.

A free header which Smith parried....he should of smothered it and/or it should of been cleared.

Got the equaliser......had a goal ruled out (i need to see it again) pissed all over them and you knew what was going to happen and it did.

Wilson had nobody to bring on up front and tried to inspire the team and fans with JPM.....and my old mate Prutton who is shit in small doses as well!

OB did well in patchs and again supplied one or two crosses which should of been buried...

The Ref was a cunt of the highest order and not just to us.....appalling throughout....village ref....and some real shit bookings for both teams.

Impressed by the application but not by the result and again i have that sinking feeling....

Lets hope Benyon is on fire.......i pray....

Bmuff remind me of us last season, we couldnt do anything wrong and won games without really being outstanding.....i tip a playoff place easy....but like us fail at that point...and like us...get found out!

Flash, I thought the exact same thought about the cash on the turnstiles.

Twice Ive been down there before and been stuck outside 10 minutes before ko because they have not printed enough tickets. Theyve insisted on people queing up twice, once at the hut, and again at the turnstile. The second time it happened I just said fuck this and went in the home end (the 2-2 draw).

Then last night, no hut, just cash on the turnstile. And I would have to say their turnstiles are not suited to it. The young lad who gave me my ticket had a massive wad of 20s on him that anyone could have snatched out his hand. He wasnt putting them away, he just had them in his hand, unbelievable.

Oh my god, we've signed Elyossi Benayoun!  :eek:

just watched the highlights, have absolutely no idea why dossevi's goal was ruled out, and to then book him is ludicrous! for his one on one miss, he had a similar chance away at walsall and did pretty much the same thing, maybe he just panics when he has too much time to think about it?

Just seen the goals for the first time, and although I like him, Imo Smithy could have done better with the 2nd and 3rd goals, he'll be disappointed with them that's for sure.

Just seen highlights.......Ref was a cunt.....that is all....

Haggis' goal was well taken, and I can't see anything wrong with the disallowed goal for Doss.

I didn't, but it's possible that the ref thought that Richie blocked off their CB allowing Dossevi an unhindered header. Either that or he couldn't believe he had scored and must have cheated somehow!

The only thing I can think of is what sutton said, he thought Richie caused an obstruction??

Having said that even then it was no worse than the 'foul' on Smith for their third.

Happened all night......giving Muff a throw because Sheehan didnt take it from the right place and then Muff defender runs up the line 10 yards to take it....Prize prick that ref..

Can't really tell, but Dossevi didn't use Ritchie as levergave to jump for the ball, did he? That's illegal and a yellow card.

If it wasn't that then I can't see anythin wrong with Doss' goal, his celebration for the Ritchie goal was a bit mental too.

I was talking to the steward outside and he was saying 95% of refs faither bournemouth when they are home.

faither? Really?

*sarky cunt* quite interesting how a steward who is meant to be focused on crowd safety has time to observe the ref so closely and conduct such a precise statistical analysis

Tomorrow's Adver:

EXCLUSIVE : Some Referees thought to give benefit of doubt to home side.

That was just fucking ridiculous.

Or...........Fitton to lure home bred refs to home matches......exclusive.

Fitton lures ref with home-baked bread

Referee in lurid claim scandal that Mrs Fitton's bread is 20 times better than Mrs Carroll's. 

Fitton slams ref "Bun in Oven" claim shock!

'We knead to use our loaf more' says Wilson as Town fail to RISE to the occasion.

A team needs to prove it is worthy of the ref's favour

the refs a cunt

here is a pretty good indication of how poor the referee was the other night...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRu8TzPFI_8

What a fucking nimlet.

fuck me i would have lost my voice at that game thanks to the ref

Not the best ref ever, to put it mildly. My "favourite" decision from him was when Smith came haring out of the goal onto a through ball with a Bournemouth striker bearing down on him, Smith gets their first, kicks it clear and then the momentum from that carries him into a collision with the Bournemouth striker, with both going down on impact.

The ref saw that as a yellow card to the Bournemouth striker. It wasn't even a foul, let alone a booking, maybe stop the play to check their both fine but he was an utter fool for both sides- but the big decisions went against us.

Just seen the highlights. Quite evident from these and other games that Sheehan is lazy and/or unfit. Dossevi unlucky not to score...looked like he played well.

Caddis has great feet and it showed in that goal. When he learns how to time runs/overlaps he'll be the class player we all anticipated in my opinion.

This is true, he gave a few bad ones against them but we lost out on the big ones!

He should stay in right midfield, could turn into a real asset for us if he plays like he did the other night. Doesn't show if on the highlights, but he nearly drew us level at the death with a great run and shot.

He's had that in his locker all along. I remember his debut vs Orient in the LC he was RB that night and cut inside on his left and curled one against the bar.

Quite true!!

I had a Australian girlfriend that once did that - she hasn't been allowed back in the pub since...

I'm not ashamed to admit that I laughed out loud.

I have said before I dont think Caddis' work rate has been up to scratch this season.

But he did work very hard on tuesday, as did the whole team. Great goal.
