Swindon V Southampton Official Matchday Thread

[joteddyred]

Sheehan was a migraine apparently. AOB was at the game, which if he had a virus is odd, as you would have thought he'd be sent home in case he passed it on.

A friend had arranged for my lad to meet Charlie Austin before the game and while we were waiting for him to arrive, AOB turned up.  In fact he was the first player to arrive and spoke to us for a few minutes, seemed fine and seems odd to arrive so early if he was unwell?

Sort of my point iffy. Ferry did do that but going forward was a different story. Anyway its only a small issue we got 3 points and thats what matters.

Guess he was ill in the week and is over it but hasn't trained, even when you are over it, having the flu or a virus leaves you weak for a bit.

BBC Highlights show neither Davis' tackle or Hammond's drop kick, but do show plenty of Soton chances. Typical.

absolutely pathetic, why bother even giving a token effort? i'd rather just use someone elses stfc world log on

I dont know why he was subbed, he was playing well.

He was knackered.  At one point just before the sub he was blowing out of his arse just before taking a corner in front of the townend.  Bear in mind he took a lot of corners as well, so spent a lot of time up and down the pitch on Saturday.  It was the right decision.

[THE FLASH]

Took my little girl on Saturday.

She enjoyed playing games on my Blackberry!

Game was a bit scrappy and we rode our luck a bit but got the win we needed to hopefully kick start us up the table.

As far as players are concerned...

Prutton tried harder but looked like a hinderance half the time.

Always like big Kev stoming up the line and Kennedy was great.

I also like the way we got stuck in when Saints went in hard.

The Keeper deserved a yellow card and the team a free kick for the challenge on Austin.  I will need to see a replay but IMO the defender cleared the ball meaning the keeper was therefore late and thus a freekick and booking.....I do honestly believe there was no intent to nail him but thats a keepers job as it is for a forward to clatter the keeper if he can.

The foul on Ball was terrible as the Official Website gallery clearly shows...a scissor tackle and a clear red card offence.


The Ref had no bollocks and allowed himself to be intimidated.

PS - Stick the fucking drum up yer Arse!

Kennedy said he rolled his ankle on the radio after

[Benzel]

So in conclusion... Subbing Kennedy was the correct decision.

Can someone pass this news onto DW?

[Berniman]

I think DW already knows, he made the sub!

Was stood directly in front of the drummer. Embarrassing.

Would have told him to fuck off but he had his two kids with him. Had a word at half time and told him he was basically ruining all our chants, he seemed to shut up in the second half.

[Don Rogers Shop]

Which strangely is when the townend seemed a bit quieter.

[SCM]

Lot of tension in the air on Saturday. You could tell that goal was a massive relief more than anything.
