....only player in a red shirt who remotely looked like a player today.

 Also assiduously avoided kicking anyone, as he obviously wants to kick a few shitheads :clap:

Just how bad was Thorpe.  Any reason he should even be in the squad again, aside from a flu epidemic.

Thought Nico and Jenks were alright, thought SeanO was solid for most of the first half, but seemed to go to pot in the second half

You'd have thought Thorpe may have shown a bit of interest what with the game v shitty coming up.....I'd have thought a loan move to O*frod would be a good idea.

 SOH probably had his worst ever game for us....Jenks was steady, but no more and Nicho culpable for the second goal.

SOH has been useless for ages

Jenks had his worst game for ages

I thought Jenks was ok, only flaw was his pace.
I hate to criticise the man, but Seano did go a bit to pot.

I'm quite impressed with gurney recently actually.Not happy when I heard he was coming back on loan,but he is becoming a very useful player to us and long may it continue!well done gurns!

We should try and sign him permanently, Swansea won't want much for him.

 Gurney signed a 3 year deal, roughly a year ago......Swansea are currently paying a chunk of his wages,  a best case scenario would be that we could extend the loan to the end iof the season, then sign Gurney on an 18 month contract, to get him off Swansea's wage bill in return.

 This would require Gurney though to take a drop in money, something he may not want to do......

i have actually been impressed with Gurns during his loan spell and i thought he was going to be shite


Title: Gurney.....
Post by: my-velocity on Sunday, November 6, 2005, 12:42:18
Thorpe was disapointing, i would have thought he would show Iffy that he had what it takes to play 1st team, obviously not.

Gurney is a fucking legend, I will piss myself in excitment if we get him, would be a fantastic signing.  Best defender outside the Premiership, and even then he could give a few of the buggers there a run for their money...

thought Gurney did ok but ran out of steam towards the end. It was my first Swindon game of the season yesterday, and probably my last. I've seen better football played in an U11 match.

hardly a good advert for the mighty Town though was it? I did the Loud and Proud thing and took my mate from Leeds who's never been before... he certainly won't be going again! Hopefully Friday night will be better because otherwise we're in all sorts of trouble

I'm just being honest. It's not easy for me to get to games, it's not cheap for me to get to games, and it's not any fun watching the side I love play like donkeys when I do go. To call me a Man Utd fan is hugely insulting. Let's be fair - the game was shite. I won't be paying £23 to go and watch that again Mr Devlin. And nor will a fair number of the massive 3,800 in attendance on Saturday.

Post by: @MacPhlea on Monday, November 7, 2005, 08:10:25
Hmmm... There are definately two groups of supporters here

The Faithful... ones that fully support their club by paying the ticket price regardless of performance/league position and are happy to turn up through wind and rain.

and..

The Fairweather... Those that say they will ony watch the club when they play well and don't understand that by not turning up at every opportunity (when they can afford it) is the reason the club finds itself in the mess its in.

Winds me up people who watch one game and say 'that was crap, im not comming back'. Because you get good games and bad games at all levels of football. I find it difficult to differentiate between the two because I still enjoy the bad games with the help of the help of lots of lager and the company of good mates. But nevertheless, my point remains.

I respect your opinion and your honesty, but you cant speak for everyone. A massive majority of the 3,800 will be back. Probably this friday. We dont have many of your type left hansgruber, because we are a bit shit nowadays. Thats how weve gone from an 8500 base to a 4,000 one. But then if you love the club you stand by it.........

Post by: DiV on Tuesday, November 8, 2005, 19:44:10
Maybe im different, weird and strange....but when I pay hard (cough) earned cash to watch Swindon. I dont pay to watch the football, I pay to watch the team.

I dont care if the game is fucking awful and total hoofball for 90+minutes between the two worst sides in the world on the worst pitch in the world with terrible wind and pissing down rain. If we win I go away a happy chappy.

At the end of the day, its the result that matters to me not the quality of football on display.

Thats it. STFC is what matters, good or bad.

If someone asked me to pay £23 for a STFC win, id say here is £1058 and we're going up as fucking champions.
