No listening to the football for me. Well, might catch the end, if I come straight home without popping into the pub for a few.

I think we'll be looking at a score draw today.

We will win 3-1.

Austin brace and a free kick from Sheehan.

I reckon wilson would have given them a right rocket after Tuesdays game, so there will be a huge improvement in effort and application 3-1 Town with Douglas ( yes Douglas!) Ward and Billy scoring.

3-0 Town. Lucas hat trick (header,free Kick and penalty)

2 - 1 Town (with Charlie back on the scoresheet !)

Must win today.  I'd have settled for a draw had we not just lost the last two.  Brighton aren't up to much, so we need to capitalise and re-establish a cushion between ourselves and 7th place.  Without 3 points, that cushion will all but disappear today.

2-0 to us.  Billy and Charlie to both find their scoring boots again.

We will lose. 1-0

1-1.

4-0 the town. thanks

2-0 defeat

I have a bad feeling about this.

Just don't play hoofball again Town. Get it on the deck.

First goal wins.

Austin will score. He'll think he's back playing for Poole playing at the Withdean.

I awoke feeling confident we can get something from this game

So we're definatley going to lose

Score draw. Stop the rot.

1-1.

We dont come from behind to win games, but we do come from behind to draw games.

Stop talking about coming from behind! Just remember where we are playing!

Anyway, we'll be comming from behind today.

Possibly twice.

If we go behind, we'll lose...again

Brighton 1 Swindon 2 (sheehan) (Austin)

Anyone else see the Adver today? Wilson doesnt seem too happy with the fans.

heart says 2-1 win.head says 2-1 defeat

brighton 2 swindon 1 and my life a misery.

I think we might nick a one nil win and get back on track

I'll be there today at the shoestring pisspot stadium. Am going for Brighton 1 Swindon 2 - Austin and Wardfor Town, a dubious late consolation penalty converted by Albion after a dive by Murray (cue gags about going down too easily).

A must win game today in my book. Looking at the run in I think we need to win at least three away games if we are to make the playoffs.

1-1 today. Can't see us getting many more points this month.

I predict 2-1 to Swindon and Billy wont be on the scoresheet as he hasnt travelled injured

3 wins is very do-able if we can get the win today. As much as Leeds, Colchester and Millwall are difficult games I'd say we are capable of winning atleast one of them. We just need to get back on track. Avoiding the woodwork would be a good start.

Also - you can listen to the game for FREE on STFCPlayer today!

No Billy? Really.

Ward upfront please, not Pericard.

Seconded, Outstanding when played out of position, wonder just how good he can be up top.

0-0

Brez will keep a clean sheet for them again.

oh fuck I just accidentally bet 3-0  up to 4-3 to Brighton by mistake - it's all my fault I don't want to win any money

Can only see a defeat 0:2 or 0:3.

Brighton 11/8

Swindon 15/8

Draw 12/5

yes but then i would win £18 and I don't want to

I'm in Brighton city centre. Anyone know the best / quickest way to the ground? Bus or train? Where from?

Train to preston park

it,s got to be a perricard hat-trick.  0-3

Is he playing?

hope not, prob be 100/1 to score.

2.0 town!! Austin with two!!

Paynter out (hamstring).  Morrison also out injured.

Pericard must be playing.

ow dear be beta off with ward upfront with austin and ritchie on!

Lucas
Cuthbert
Sheahan
Douglas
Pericard
Greer
McGovern
Darby
Ward
Ferry
Austin


Ritchie
Timlin
JFL
Marshall
Manky
Smith
Easton

Dave does not like.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say that Pericard will work better with Austin than he will with Paynter. We shall see today.

It's obvious pericard would come in, he's the most like-for-like replacement for paynter we've got

3-1 win austin peri peri and cuthbert to score

Expect Pericard or Austin to be subbed at some point, with Ritchie to take over on the left with Ward to go up front.

I suppose we'll see how much we'd miss Billy this afternoon then. Big chance for Pericard.

1-3

Pericard (2) and Austin.

You may have not noticed (no really) but Pericard played the last game as well.

He was awful but thats been done to death, he's lucky to be getting a second chance. He needs to take it

Ward and austin up front wouldn't work. The shape of the side would be ruined, at least pericard gives us some height and strength, if nowt else

Where as Ward - would give us a decent shot, pace, work rate, control, skill, directness, passing, movement, skill & goals.

The last few posts demonstrate that we do now have options.  Would love to see Pericard succeed today.  Proper squad competition as we (hopefully) head towards the play offs is vital.

Either I totally misheard, or they just said kick-off has been delayed because of crowd congestion

Nah, that's Salisbury v Barrow at the RayMac

bristol rovers just got awarded performance of the week for that game that we all forgot about last week

Ahhh. That makes a lot more sense.

Big game for Pericard. Time for him to shine.

Looking at the other games at the top today, this is an opportunity for us to get some points on the board whilst others are taking them off each other.

1 - 0 Town - Pericard with his arse.

started well then

brighton already won a corner

better than tuesday at least.

lua lua that the one from newcastle?

Nope.

Anyone else managed to get this 'free' commentary from STFC Player? I just get asked for login details?

yes, Kazenga LuaLua is on loan form Newcastle. He's Lomana LuaLua younger brother

lies

thought so thanks

made baby Jesus cry

Hudders 1-0 up

I thought it was

I'm deliberately not attempting to listen. Hate listening to Swindon on the radio.

Oops. I knew it wasn't Lomana!

eek: We're 7th as it stands. Plenty of the season to go though (not to mention this game)

Udders winning is not good.

WELL WE ARE IN THEIR HALF -COME ON SWINDON

I'm relying on the tef for commentary today.

You have to register through the 14 day free trial, and provide cr. card details for later if you continue. I signed up a couple days ago and listening now.

Oh, OK. Thus far it seems as though Brighton are slightly brighter.

I'm watching Jeff Stelling.

I have World but it keeps cutting off.

free kick to swindon

Doesn't sound like a game we're gonna win, from the play so far.

keeper saves easily

lucas may be injured

Franchise have scored, 1-0 up at Brentford

Lucas Injured?

FFS wife is now using hairdryer interfering with my weak signal grrrr

We're fucked!

yep

Udders & MK winning and Lucas injured

fucking brilliant.

Smith on.

Paynter, Manks, Lucas injured. Season defining? I guess we'll find out.....

Lucas = suspect hamstring = not good

I blame Phil Smith...

World is working, sort of, now.

I hope Lucas isn't too serious.

Don't like Phil Smith. Get the Polish guy in goal.

oh shit

They can still turn into draws, Dan.

How committed is Lucas? He wouldn't get injured if he was a true player.

Cummon Mr Flappy, don't let us down!

lucas with possible hamstring injury according to the com

ward with shot over the bar.

My radio has broken. I have just done the free trial of World, but it seems to drop out for about 5 seconds every minute.

Still, I have a good feeling about the game today, even with Smith on for Lucas

How many hamstring injuries have we got/had. Seems like every injury is a hamstring!!

free kick on the left hand side for swindon easily in the arms for brez

9:02
Charlie Austin fouled by Adam El-Abd, the ref awards a free kick. Alan Sheehan fires a strike on goal direct from the free kick, save by David Lucas.

BBc text commentary is great isn't it.  Must have taken a wicked deflection for Lucas to have to save it.

corner for swindon

im confsued the coms talk crap most of the time

These commentators are so passionate ... not!

The test is from PA which is why it is so bland. I love the way the use players full names too. Who is this Daniel Ward?

Is it possible to be passionate at Withdean?

Northampton have just scored, John Johnson  - what a name, why!?

More Withdrawn methinks.

Nope fucking hate the place. Which is why I am not there  :)

better than neville neville

His middle name is John as well.

Isn't Rebel Rebel more appropriate for today's venue?

Wonder what his dad is called?

john johndad maybe

Soton 1-0 Leeds

Southampton 1 Leeds 0

off the line by swindon

thank you greer

Probably not a good result the way things are going

COME ON SWINDON SORT THIS SHIT OUT

MK 1-1 now! Finally some good news

close call for a penalty it seems

For whom?

Falkirk 1-0 St Johnstone: Twaddle (27)

against us, greer tackle wasn't given

Well then Im sure it was a totally fair and just decision.  Well done referee.

marshall on, pericard off

I watched Colu vs Brighton on Monday and Glenn Murray just falls over whenever he feels like it in the area, hopefully the ref will not fall for any diving this afternoon.

Marshall on for Pericard????????

Pericard off for Marshall. WTF?

pericard off marshall on

marshall on for peri peri

Hamstring?

Is Ward pushing up top?

Pericard is a lazy french cant be bothered twat

I fucking hope so.

pericard injured?

nah jus lack of effort

Lots of injuries. Not good

Looks like Ward nay be injured too

wha?

I didnt want Pericard to start but going off after half an hour? unless he's injured

Mark Marshall rather than Matt Ritchie?!

Ward injured....bloody hell!

Dropping like flies

please tell me you are taking the piss? This is becoming ridiculous!

We're doomed.

Ward is groggy from a knock on the head. Loads of time to be added - guaranteed late winning goal from the Gays.

My glass is half empty

Sounds like the ref's a complete tosser too

Has ward come off then?

marshall has gone upfront so maybe wilson thinks that pace may open things up

Grant Hegley a controversial referee:

Just got in - how are we sounding?

I hear Lucas has had a hamstring injury but what happened to Pericard?!

Ward still on for now

Mark Marshall just had the worst shot of the season

Ward still on   just running it off

No worries ... we,ve got reinforcements cycling in as we speak.

marshall shot hits the moon

Mark fucking Marshall?! WTF?! Why not Ritchie?

he's been scoring penalties for the ressies. That's the only reason I can think of.

Sometimes i wonder what the fuck Wilson is doing? He act's clueless at times! Fucking Marshall? Ritchie would have been a much better option.

Marshall doesn't have any hamstrings?

http://www.boyfrombrazil.co.uk/2005/11/only-one-grant-hegley/

http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Disciplinary/NewsAndFeatures/2005/Hegley_Charged.aspx

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2005/oct/06/newsstory.sport6

It's puzzling. I'll glady admit I'm wrong if Marshall hits the winner, but there's more chance of me scoring it.

Unless Wilson thinks pace could undo the Brighton defence, in which case leaving Ward out wide and sticking Marshall up top may work. I don't know because I'm not there.

Prehaps Marshalls a homophobe and Wilson thinks he will scare the gays?

World is a waste of time.

Everyone is a football manager!

Yes it is. Are you still in the 20min of the game?

the longer it stays 0-0 the better for swindon

At last a proper match day thread, plenty of pissing and moaning.

So he's upset Warnock, he's not too bad then  :)

Like I said ... no hammies.

Ritchie wouldn't last the game.

whos guna play against southampton and norwich?

Millwall 1-0 up.

Millwall 1-0 Charlton

I would but im working

Millwall 1 Charlton 0

millwall 1-0 Charlton

I wonder if Stuwall has found his seat yet?

I wonder if Stuwall made the game.

Great minds r4e...

He didn't send off a reading player when he should have, that's criminal.

3 mins added time

My prediction, 4:4.

Marshall on target. Things are looking up.

Wilson said he was going to use his squad.

HT

half time thank fuck

A squad that he sees every day in training. Unlike the armchair managers who obviously know much better (I reserve the right to do a complete volte face on this and join the armchair FM crew if we lose :))

Hello.  Ive been out buying Yorkies.  What have I missed?

Shit, if we are hanging on against Brighton we don't deserve the play offs.

Hopefully, nobody has been injured by splinters on the bench, or by by falling over at H.T.

Special offer on Wispas. Other than that, very little except for half the team dropping like flies (well, two of them)

Wison is a genius, the Brighton H.T. talk goes along these lines.

"Boss, who the fuck is Marshall?"  "Is he from Liverpool?"

"Fuck knows, if he left Ritchie on the bench, he must be hot shit."

'OK boys, I want two markers on Marshall at all times, don't let him think about crossing or shooting."

"OK, Boss."



 

Classic

It's a Pig Hill speciality.

ward off easton on

FFS Ward off Easton on

Ward off Easton on.

4-5-1 for the point I guess.

Bloody hell. Take your boots to St Marys, everyone

Yup Austin on his own. Damage limitation.

bloody injuries!

Yes but also its all we've got the players for.

I hate 4-5-1 - too negative but we've only got one fit striker!!

4-5-1 because that's all we can do! Ward must have been injured - taking him off would be far too much of a risk otherwise with 45 minutes still to go.

E I E I E I O.............i forgot the next bit

could have brought on ritchie and played him behind austin

....and on his farm he had a duck,

Cuthbert limping

At least Cuthbert isnt limping...oh wait

Cuthbert limping, dirty gay bastard injuring all our players

Perfect time of the season for an injury crisis to hit!

Dons 2 1 up!

MK back infront

we need luck!!! and some!

It's like Rourke's Drift out there.  :(

Stupid commentators    Swindon have a corner so they decide that this would be the best moment to go and hear whats happening in the Sailsbury game

Ah yes.. quack fucking quack

Guess whose scored for West Brom?


its not Simon Cox, can we get him in on loan?

Austin shoots wide

Cmon Charlie! Near miss.

swindon playing better now 1-0 with a late goal hopefully  :eek:

Yeah sounds like we're doing alright.

STARTING TO PLAY NOW -COME ON SWINDON

we cant let brez keep a clean sheet against us.

Colchester winning

save off Greer header

Col U winning.

Colchester have scored against 10-man Carlisle

ColU 1 nil up

Marshall is having a reasonable game by the sounds of it. Certainly putting a shift in.

Brez saves from a greer header

sheehan clears off the line

Actually, Wilson is correct.  He has to try the squad players in games, if they can't put a shift in then the answer is simple.

colchester 1-1

Brentford equalise

Brentford equalise

YES! Charlie...........

Get the fuck in.

Have Brighton scored?

Get in Chaaaaaaaaaaarlie

anyone have a decent idea how long is left? we must have kicked off pretty late.

Far-sighted parents.

no - he's just been bought on though, so as good as sadly

Come on boys, 1 more...just 1 pleeeassee

No. Forster has come on as sub so he will probably equalize in the 95th minute.

Ooooooooooooooooooohhh just wide from sheehans free kick

Millwall running riot!

Last 11 minutes

One day Sheehan, am i right in saying we have only scored 1 free kick all season?

If all the scores stay like this, the play-off places will be really bunched up - 3 points from 3rd to 6th (avoiding mentioning any specific places/teams so as not to tempt fate)

Come on town, hold on, this would be a massive result!

Sounds like Marshall has done pretty well

Yes. JPM away at Oldham

Sheehan has hit the woodwork 3 times.

Brentford equalised against Franchise aswell, so a fucking good afternoon......as it stands.

brighton corner

Stuwall will be glad he's got the two seats then, he'll be able to watch it twice

corner brighton. pressure is on.

I said they would score 4.

I cant listen to this.  I might go and buy some more Yorkies.

And woohoo!

Nothing to complain about, no more match day postings until after the next defeat.

WOOOOOOOOOO! FT

Bloody good result that.

I think I am more relieved than happy as I was worried our season was about to derail after the last couple of results.

sign pooky up!!

looks like other results went our way as well.

Phil Smith managed to stop that cunt Nicky Forster scoring.

No thanks....

Yeeeeeeeeeessssssssss! Marhsall is the new Giggs

Great result, I really wasnt expecting that!

Very, very good result. Happy times.

Fucking Pook though.

We have entered the twighlight zone ???


Back to the business in hand....fantastic result. Stopping the rot and a goal for Charlie bringing his 'barren' run to an end.

Happy days!

Good afternoons worth of football that. We are back on track.

Well done Smith and Marshall, and of course Charlie.

Nice one Stephen Elliot, some Carlisle player, Carl Cort and Charlie Charlie Austin.

I never doubted Wilson's decision to bring Marshall on  :-[

SENT OFF: Tranmere, Bakayogo, Second Bookable Offence (90+3)

Im very happy.  The americans Im working with today really don't understand what about.  Fuckers.

Very happy with that result, especially after losing Paynter to injury before the game and 3 others by half time. Quite tempted to go to Soton now. Hopefully we'll have some confidence back.

How did Darby do then?

good to keep a clean sheet - although it didnt sound like he had alot to do - probably good all round that Smith kept a clean sheet, more so after Oldham.

Ace result
Hope my Brighton supporting ex boss was there  :D ;D :D

Never gave it a second thought.

Amazing result considering the injuries. If we can somehow get a point at Soton that should set us up nicely for Narrich.

Fucking fantastic result!! Super Charlie does it again.

Oh, and how the fuck did Pook get a hat-trick!!!

Wilson is a genius :)

I bet the Leeds fans are slashing their wrists now...  :D

Injuries are the only (massive) negative

Who the hell is going to play at So'ton? Ward's injury sounded short-term, but the others could well be out on Tue. It'll be a funny-looking bench.

empty looking bench.

Bet Millwall fans are happiest of all tonight - they're in good shape. Hope someone explained the result to Stuwall. Who's Colchester's game in hand against?

Thats cos the games finished

Something like this on Tue:

Smith
Darby
Cuthbert?
Greer
Sheehan
Ferry
Douglas
McGovern
Marshall
Ward
Austin

Subs:
Jesionkowski
Jean-Francois
Thompson
Easton
Timlin
Ritchie
Henshall

great result.i know nothign about the game,just that we won.3 much needed points

At home to Brentford on 23rd March?

Amankwaah was on the bench today wasnt he?

I expect he'll be fit enough to sit on the bench tuesday.

Ward will be fit - but in truth maybe Marshall and Easton have played there way into a start in a 4-5-1 formation?

Paynter maybe?

paynter probably wont start if its a hamstring it usually takes a week to recover from a minor hamstring pull. id like to see henshall on the bench on wednesday would be good experience if he came on for the last 5-10 mins

It's better that way.

OK, cheers

Marshall sounded bright. Will be interesting to hear from those who went.

I see Oxford are second by rights now, having played the same amount of games as Stevenage. Oh well.

Came on what?

Even if Pericard and Paynter are fit, we will go 4:5:1.

:blowup:

we're playing tuesday, carbon. i thought you must have been referring to something else, maybe coming on arthur fowler's bench in albert square

Virtual spontaneous human combustion.......impressive....!

yes i was referring to the game on tuesday

It's entirely possible that we have found someone to rival Billy Shears' sense of humour.

Hey Reg, looks like Rochdale will escape The Rochdale Division. That's not right is it?

Oxford are away to Stevenage soon too :D

Only downside for me is the score was just 1-0, got to blame Phil Smith for that, how the fuck did he miss that hat-trick! :tvhappy:

well well well, two wins at withdean on the trot. Sat down the front first half so could see fuck all, second half sat at the back so could see a little better, was a solid performance, never really looked in that much trouble, marshall played a blinder possible mom, good finish by austin.

Fuck i love beating brighton

I didn't listen to the game, just read the thread now. I hope all those who knocked Mark Morrison Marshall are thoroughly ashamed of themselves :D

Return of the Mac.

Get in there Town.

YOU LIED TO ME

So I'm back up in the game
Running things to keep my swing
Letting all the people know
That I'm back to run the show

Darby looks like he is going to fit in nicely, he was up against lua lua who looked the part, greer made a cracking goaline clearence in the first half but should have scored with a header in the second half. They had the better of the first half we upped our game in the second.

Marshall used the ball very well, really frustrated brighton. Could someone tell me what all the injuries were as i havent a clue and what happened to paynter?

What was Pericard like before he came off?

Did he look interested? Did he lay any balls off/hold it up?

Paynter has that hamstring problem,  I've been telling everyone about all season.

Hard to judge pericard because he was down the other end of the pitch so wouldnt like to say, sorry.

Paynter = hamstring
Pericard = Hamstring
Lucas = Hamstring.

No word on whether they are serious or minor a this stage.

Big big result today, at half time it looked like we would drop to 7th with Huddersfield leading Norwich and with injuries today would have taken a point. Big turnaround in the 2nd half of today's game and surely Norwich have sealed auto promotion as now 12 points clear with 10 to play and 7 clear on Leeds. Leeds are maintaining the gap to 3rd and play Millwall at home a week Monday which could put them further clear.

The teams 3rd to 6th have bunched up again and we've put a 5 point gap between ourselves and Huddersfield, normal service resumed by Rovers strikers today and Franchise chucking one in injurytime after going 3-2 up moments before. Anything at Southampton is a bonus for us as they've won 7 at home on the bounce but how long do those type of runs last, 6-7 games is the usual and reckon we are due a shock away win somewhere.

Hopefully today's results get's the momentum going for us again if we can cope with the injuries but sounds like a few have stepped up today with a Phil Smith clean sheet, Marshall playing well apparently and Easty doing a job.

Bring on tuesday

It's happened before albeit many years ago....we know what it's like to be stuck in the same league. We did a 43 year stint in Div 3....minus  :hitler: ill considered intervention

What a depressing thought. 43 years in division 3.

Rochdale have been there for 35 years, bet they can't fucking wait 'til next season!

Not really...we're a Div 3 club.

Ward was concussed.

Good result today, great to get back to winning ways. Great stuff Charlie
Tis getting tight for the play off places

@leefer where are you?

Poole 3 Brock 0

Not as depressing as being a non-league club - now I wonder who I mean?

Historically yes. In my lifetime of 28 years, we've been a divison 4 side, up to division 3, to division 2, a year in division 1, back in divison 2 for a few seasons, back to divison 3, back up to division 2, after about 4 years back to division 3, down to division 4 for 1 season and now back in division 3!!

I like to think of us as a 'lower championship side'.

Ralphy your post suggests we've spent more time below that level. Your logic is very flawed.

Good win. Very happy this evening.

If he is proper concussed he won't be playing Tuesday. Can't risk a second whack on the noggin so soon.

I was sat near the front, the view was terrible - for all I know we could have played our best (or worst) game of the season. Darby looked pretty decent in the 1st half, not sure about the 2nd half as he was too far away.

Marshall was excellent in the 2nd half, and from what I could see, our mom by some distance. Went past their defenders with ease, held the ball well and was very strong physically. I've always thought he had potential and he finally delivered today. I can see him starting some games before the end of the season. He really was that good.

Thought we looked pretty good with Austin up front on his own.

Here they come. The Mark Marshall lovers will come crawling out from under the skirting with comments like this. Bless them :)

One of those internetisms that annoy me for no real reason.

man of match? no

How wrong you are Dave

dave is never wrong

My first post - if anyone wants to call me a cunt that's fine because it'd make me feel somewhat initiated. Been reading for quite a while and there are some funny feckers amongst you, so thanks for the entertainment.

Felt right to join up on a happy day, or a bounce-back day, or a fuck-me-we-DO-have-some-on-the-bench-who-are-gonna-keep-the-standards-up day. I still have to keep going back to the table because I can't believe how good it looks after our recent results, and how it all looked at h/t.

Despite being really chuffed about our season I was pretty depressed at MK on Tuesday, certainly in the first half. Vince is getting all the abuse but as a team we made it too easy for them in the 1st half - it was a walk in the park and I was really flat & underwhelmed. At least we earnt the right to have the ball 2nd half but still didn't look threatening til added time. I wouldn't have gone today anyway, been there a few times & that's more than enough, however I'm much more tempted to go to Stains (not a typo) now. Anyone know if we can pay on the night (surely we can)? 

post your report on Franchise in the right thread.cunt

Yes we can One F, you cunt.

great game

Welcome you tight cunt.(well you didn't offer up a tenner)  You'll fit in you swore on 1st post, took me at least a 1000 and i'm a right potty mouth normally.

Enjoyed that a lot.

Yeah I can confirm that suttonred is a right potty mouthed cunt now.

I hope everyone appreciates the three and a half years it's taken you to put that first post together. Beautifully done.

3 'cunts' already, thanks fellas I grinned like a, erm, happy person  :D Feeling a bit emotional now......

 - Thx mr reeves for the confirmation;
 - Wasn't expecting 'tight cunt' - what's this tenner about? sutton - pretty sure you're one of the people that's made me piss meself in the past (tough shit if you can't bear sycophants);
 - Sorry arriba! 

Don't say sorry to arriba it's saturday night he has had a beer and a curry and is just winding down for his match of the day wank.He gets emotional

See leeds mascot thread. I've pissed myself reading my stuff so you aren't alone. (incontinence)

you peeping through my window you cunt?

No need,Google street map

Nah he's psychic

I think I got my words mixed up.

Psycho

:)

Right you are, DRS, although it was a sarcastic apology. His Saturday nights sound like mine apart from, swap beer for wine, & my wank will be after MOTD and at the pc   :tits:

All this sarcasm/abuse/banter - I feel right at home in your collective bosom (will that word make arriba 'go off' early?). I'd imagine that plenty of sensitive people have come 'n gone from the TEF over time? People need to tell it like it is don't they! Can't be worrying about upsetting delicate people eh.

Back to Brighton, I've got a cousin living there, & him & his mates all say that Swindon fans have given them the most abuse about being a bunch of brown-hatters, and they can't understand why. I was quite proud of this when they started bleating on about it. FUCK OFF YOU CRAFTY BUTCHERS, THANKS FOR THE 6 POINTS.

i was giving you the welcome you wanted.no apology necessary(even a sarcastic one)
welcome on board.

Arriba has finished then

i'm waiting for you before i start

I love you x

Yeh I know, and I appreciated it, I was just avin a larf. Thanks also for your welcome.

I like it on here - I've never seen an STFC forum anywhere else anything like as busy. I've seen comments on other forums whining about the abuse & swearing on here - well that's what enticed me even more. Fucking PC bores, the lot of them.

Thanks very much! Hope you're female (though I doubt it)....

I'm sort of female.

John is the forum brown hatter

That's enough for me. Not enough time for questions, could die tomorrow......

Just got back from the family do and a bit pissed.

Ran the line for my beloved SCFC today and whooped with joy when the final whistle blew on my radio during the trip back!!

get in there!!!!

Roll on Saints - a real test for us...and i hope the trend of playing better against better teams continues...

SCFC? Taff cunt

hA!   I would give ten pens against those taffy bastards....

Right im off to bed.....ported out.

Just like to say that it was nice to see Marshall get MOM at a ground where he probably played his worst game in a Town shirt....  The JPT defeat a couple of Seasons ago.

I love this post-match analysis

Swindon site says three hundred odd Town fans whereas the Brighton site says 450 odd. Which is correct?

Radio said 434? No idea if its correct though!

Because were a bunch of backward farmer boys.

Anyone else see the report and ratings in the league paper? Clearly written by a Brighton fan, all ours rated at 4's 5's and 6's and the bulk of theirs 7's. Only real mention of us was the goal. Which was undeserved according to the dickhead that wrote it.

I am sure they said 464 but anyway it was still about 4 and a half hundred.

Not a bad turn out considering, what with such a crap view as well.

Hopefully we will have nearer 1,000 Tuesday at Southampton.

That view is worth no more than a tenner.

Who gives a fuck? Final score was Brighton and Bumhole Albion 0-1 Swindon Town. That's all I care about.

surprised to hear marshall played so well. i spent the afternoon in the ashmolean museum in o*ford so didn't see the score until full-time, was shocked and alarmed at seeing three first-half substitutes.

saw the goal last night, another typical austin goal. he has a instinct for scoring goals, plain and simple.

I've always said it about Marshall. When he first came here he looked like he had potential but he was way out of his depth, looked like a school kid going up against men in his first game. You could see an improvement in his last few appearances but he still didn't look anywhere near good enough and was well on his way to being released. He always seemed pretty lightweight before, not sure if he has put on some weight or beefed up a bit but against Brighton he didn't look anything like the player I'd seen before.

Having said that I'm not sure I'd pay any attention to my comments on the game yesterday. I didn't realise until I got home that Ward had been substituted, luckily I found out before I said he was anonymous in the second half. Not sure why I didn't realise as I saw Easton but it still didn't click. In my defence, the view really was bad.

Am I right in thinking Marshall's contract is up in the summer? Sounds like Wilson rates him, guess we'll have to wait and see how highly and whether he gives him a new contract.

Can I just state and you can trawl past threads, I as in the King of Tonga have always, always, been a big fan of Mark Marshall. I think you will find that pretty much me and luci were the only ones that always spoke up for him.

This coaching video just goes to show that unexpected injuries can occur any time in a game. I am sure Wilson and Shirtlif have alerted the players to the possibility of this type of injury.

Ha I remember that ad. The bloke that gets it in the fruit-bowl is Stewpot from Grange Hill. Think he was in the next group after Tucker & Trisha's mob. Still does ads nowadays I think, he's a baldy but still looks quite young.

Anyone that went to Hereford on the Friday night that Ifil scored THAT screamer will remember how awesome Marshall looked when he came on (they must've remembered that when they took him on loan), he was truly on fire. I think I'd put it down to being a flash in the pan til yesterday, though it was also at the back of my mind that DW was keeping him round about the 1st team for a reason, and his judgement hasn't let us down so far has it.

I thought 350-odd didn't sound enough - we'd take that if we were struggling. All the comments about the view, that's why I stayed away & chose MK & Stains instead. Been to Withdean a few times & it wasn't too bad at the other end but the current away bit is a piss-take. I'll wait until they've built the other 3 stands at Falmer.

Think that wraps up the thread nicely.

The fact that we recognize that Marshall has had a good game is exactly the reason that we shouldn't jump on any of our player's backs. Pericard will have good games once he is established and shouldn't be written off after a few starts. Any player needs to show what he can do and then be put into the overall game plan. How good was Parkin in his first few games and how about Sean Taylor or Nicky Summerbee? I hate the instant response we give to each match performance.

Come on you Reds

parkin scored a hattrick on his debut  :)

parkin scored a hatrick on his debut.i'm pretty sure the other 2 were impressive from the outset too.
marshall was shit, so hopefully he has improved.long may it continue

oops sorry sonic

And soon Pericard will gain his confidence- let's support him

I hate the expression shit - Am I the only one?

this is the wrong site for you if that's the case.
you could always go on a shit one though

I think this is the right site, I always think that we should sing:

Your support isn't quite up to the required standard

and if we are asked if we would like to have a song sung for us that we should ask for one from West End Story

West Side Story

There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.

Here come the Town:
Little world, step aside!
Better go underground,
Better run, better hide!

Going underground, going underground
So let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow

I think ReadytoGo might like music, and would love some attention.  The cunt.

Mission accomplished

haha

You were obviously referring to Tim Parkin weren't you? ;)

You are right of course about the instant and often hysterical reaction to players' performances (not to mention the manager) This post from Saturday's match day thread illustrates it perfectly...

"Sometimes i wonder what the fuck Wilson is doing? He act's clueless at times! Fucking Marshall? Ritchie would have been a much better option."

And that's just after a 13 game unbeaten run has ended and we're sitting pretty in the play off places.

Enough said.

Great 3 points.... the only downside for me was the continual lack of anything funny coming from the constantly babbling mouth of the big pissed bloke who looks like a duck (sat near the stag party). If any of you are the big talking duck - you're just not funny.

Thanks.

 ;D  :clap:

Holy thread revival Batman.

Fucking timewarp!

Comic timing. We look forward to your reply in 2014.

Bollocks, when I saw this thread I thought perhaps I had been asleep (or in a coma) for a couple of years & we were playing Brighton tonight, and that the two Wembley defeats were just a nightmare.
