I know its early but as I cant make it to the game tommorow I thought id do my bit! I really think Town will do it tommorow! Im so confident I have £20 on us to win!

COME ON YOU REDS!! 2-0!!

2-1

Fallon
Sharpe
Roberts

 :beers:

I can't see us winning. 1-1 if we are luckly.

a win tomorrow. keep the faith. scunny are poo away anyway!

Well done Rich you've just cursed us :evil:

Every Scunthorpe fan has said they are poor defensively. Keep Sharp and Keogh quiet and we'll be in with a good shout.

I refuse to predict the score cos I don't wanna jinx us but I'm looking forward to the game as always! Come on Town!

2-1 to Us.I dreamt it.
 8)

2-0 defeat

I don't get that. Port Vale and Brentford are in the playoffs and they weren't any better than we were.....

Did you now....

I think we will win

but

We'll lose now!!!

you idiot r4e.  :evil:

bet we lose now

2-0 to us

Fallon to get the 1st and Roberts to get the 2nd as it's his birthday.

thats my prediction too bedford. a lot of people have gone for 2-0 in the prediction league.i hope we are not being too optimistic

Half Time
Swindon 1 . 1 Scunthorpe

Full Time
Swindon 3. 1 Scunthorpe

I think the townend should sing happy birthday to roberts.

I have predicted a 2 1 win.

Weather is pants up here for today's game.  :evil:

i wonder what the odds are of us keeping a 3rd consecutive clean sheet?

 :roll: uh...maybe not!  :)

In the summer, Scunthorpe was considered an easy 3 points ... Now a win would be a major acheivement for us.

I honestly don't know if we'll win... I comforted by the fact we're at home... Every home game is so crucial right now, we have to get results from them if we want to get off the bottom.

But less of the cliches... I'm wearing the same Swindon shirt I wore last Saturday and on Tuesday  :roll:

Christian Roberts' birthday today... Money he scores because the Advertiser will have a field day with the headline!

I predict 4-2 win (what am I on)

Fallon (2), Bouazza, Roberts (87th Minute!)

The 'Super, Soar Away' Sun had us down for a 0-3 home defeat in its pools guide this week - The utlimate insult as most results it predicts are pretty close and no more than a two goal margin.

Just for the hell of it then, I am going for the complete reverse. 3-0 to 'Super Soar Away' Swindon.  

I predict that after an Iffy start, it will be Hameur Time at the County Ground, we'll all be doing the Ricky Shake, Fallon will Rooaaaaaarr(y) The Robins will fly high over the rusty Iron,  and numerous other tabloid cliches will take place. 8)

Like"ON OURA WAY UP THE TABLE!"

It will be a 3-2 win. I am that confident that I'm not going even though I'm in Swindon for the weekend. It's been the shittest week of my life though, so football is the least of my worries.

I've got a pound on Fallon to score first and Town to win 4-1. 290-1!  :shock:

Good luck! Think you may need it!  :mrgreen:

That might work...havent tried it though.

Not working for me.

They dont normally turn it on until kickoff, try again in 5 minutes.

any1 know the address to listen to the game?

cheers guys, bloody internet

I wish I'd gone now. :cry:

McDermott missed an open goal.  :x

any1 else know ne other one?

oldham 1 - city 0

although still can't hear the swindon commentary - stfcworld, you are almsot as shit as ntl

stfcworld owned by ntl. That's why they are shit

The scunthorpe commentary works if you have paid for it.  you could try the above link, but substitute 21694 for 21678 - that might work

I just get silence.... :cry:

STFC_World isnt working for me...and that is paid for. Luckily I have a radio. :agree:

yeah it does work

smart - i reckon that officially makes me a hacker !!

dont like the blokes doing it though!!!

Its official - liste to the scunthorpe commentary...



Please note we will be using the opposition commentary today

We assure you that such technical faults will be resolved for for future games together with the club's assistance.

Hello - is there any chance you could turn the Swindon commentary on for the match v. Scunthorpe ?

Every week it seems to start after kick off and we are already 15 minutes in today.  Bit annoying really !

Ooooh! Whalley! :x

Let's not regret missed chances


COME ON SWINDON

Which link works then, I get silence with all of 'em!

Morning all !

Thanks for the 'foreign' commentary.

NMH

Got it now with the 21678 link, cheers!

we seem to be doing k 2day so far

beagrie can feck off!

I liked the commentary... 25 yards out, actually more like 28 yards out.

As if it matters.

Bugger

Bollocks. :x

Bollocks

jeeesus, as if my week wasn't shit enough already

ARSE :cry:

Fucking sparrow, hope he gets bird flu

Missed bastard chances... Scunny basically say we're rubbish.

Rory booked for diving  :evil:

Booked for diving.... Side like this... That scotsman is a moron.

They're saying "What is Fallon doing playing for this crock of shit.."

Comyn-Platt on for Mcdermott.

They didn't watch him last season.

C-Platt coming on.

true

Well that's it... The Scotsman says it's not going to happen... I'm going home.

 :|

Theo Walcott has scored two for Southampton, did we get anything at all for him?

He was like 12 when he left... I doubt it!

This commentator is making sound like Fallon has only just joined us!

Half time. Some people are booing, how long before we here "We want Iffy out"  :roll:

Wise Men Say Only fools rush in but i cant help falling in love with u! Sewindon! Sewindon! I really thought we were going to win today. Oh well there is still 45 mins to go i suppose! :?

So how many has Cureton scored for Colchester then ?

That would be the icing on the cake  :cry:

NMH

the same number he has scored for us, so far at least

Hmm... It's not looking great for us... I couldn't believe we were predicted for the drop during the summer... Must have been wearing my red-tinted glasses.

Still got a whole half... It's key that we don't give up like we have SO many times this season.

COME ON SWINDON.... Please!

Woo! Corner, come on town!

we'll probably go 3 down, then fallon will get 2 consolations in injury time..

 :soapy tit wank:

Sounds about right.

Short corners never work.

Hartlepool 1-1 Franchise

Fallon off!

Rory Fallon sent off :evil:  :cry:

I don't believe it. Fallon sent off.

sigh...

He was fucking warned seconds before... SECONDS! Iffy was telling him... FOR FUCK SAKE!

Just got in from work, 1-0 down and Fallon off, bugger.

Fallon has left us down there. We've been the best team in this half and now we're doomed.

I was going to ask how we were playing, that's even more annoying now I've heard that.

I'd go back an do another hours overtime if I was you !

I almost wish I had now!

Shakes on for Whalley

This is a very embarrassing season !

NMH

Well Thorpe won't be going anywhere soon!

How long will the suspension be?

At least City are 3-1 down.

I've got a load of mates coming to Geneva in a few weeks time for the England Argentina game - probablem is we'll have to go to the pub to watch the city game the day before.  its going to be dismal !

Swindon Vs. City is a very, very, very big game!

Who'd have thought it would be because of lack of points for both clubs.

Rory I guess will miss next Saturday's game, I should think it's a one game ban.

How many red cards is that this season?

I'm in the USA for the Swindon/Bristol C game.... That's plenty of distance to avoid my girlfriend and her family if we lose.

COME ON SWINDON!!!!!!!

Ifil (2)
Gurney
Fallon

May have missed a couple, but that is far too many.

Im in the US for all Swindon games, but its still depressing !

NMH 'aka Marvin'  :cry:

It is far too many, especially with the season we're having.

Club will be heavily fined soon for such a poor disciplinary record.

NMH

It's certainly something that will come up at the end of the season.

to be fair, Ifil's last sending off was a bit harsh, but yeah, it's the sort of thing we can do without to say the least

The Scunthorpe commentary isn't making me feel any better.

anyone heard roberts mentioned yet this half ?

Swindon I've got to say are coping.

Fair play boys.

Roberts must be thinking of his night out tonight... I've not heard anything from him.

No - I wouldn't mind so much if they were being really biased and over the top - but to be honest, they probably aren't too far from the truth

'They can't be any worse than they have been...They've been shocking !'

Interesting to hear the away team's perspective.

NMH

It's cutting but they are not as bias as some I've heard.

We're awful, I accept that... But only we are allowed to say it!

ooh, bit of handbags between gurney and beagrie - whats the betting he gets himself sent off too later ?

Would not suprise me.

COME ON SWINDON!

Who else is on the bench?

Ouch comment towards Nico!

Penalty!!!

PENALTY!!!!

Robbo to take it apparently.

Roberts PLEASE

what ?  we scored, after a handball - but the ref gives us a pen, which we will probably now miss.

plus it sounds like shakes handled it...

bet we miss this pen!!!!

COME ON SWINDON, PUT THIS IN PLEASE.

Yes!

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON TOWN!!

YES!!! HOLD ON PLEASE!

Bugger ! Goal disallowed and a penalty given ?

Cmon Roberts !

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh !

NMH

happy fucking birthday !!!

Roberts has done NOTHING in this half.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss

Good old Christian, Happy birthday mate.  8)

:beers:  Ten men we only need ten men! Just thought i would say we would miss it so not to jinx it

Uphill task... We must cling on for moral this would be an awesome result for us.

It looks like this is what Roberts has needed.

COME ON SWINDON!

OOOOHHH!! Could have been two.

I'll take that though

Sounds as if Roberts is interested now.

NMH

You're not wrong.

It does, must be about 10 mins left so you never know.

It's got the fans going too.

Anyone know what the crowd is today?

chuffing hell - it sounds like another 10,000 fans just turned up !

Bouazza came close.

He's definately got pace.

Villa 0 Wigan 2, their fans must be in dreamland at the moment.

Hartlepool 2-1 MK.

Beagrie came close. Corner.

Oldham 4-2 Bristol City

Yeovil 3 Forest 0.

Who needs Johnson.

My housemate's a forest fan. He'll be gutted

True, and they were right at the bottom after we beat them 4-2 in August so there's hope.

3 mins added. One last push Town.

3 minutes of injury time.

COME ON SWINDON!

I'm very proud with how we performed after Fallon let us down.

So am I, I was worried we might fall apart and lose by 2 or 3.

1-1

I will take that, 3 games unbeaten now.

maybe we should start every game with 10 men... at least we appear to be showing some bollocks recently.

Hooray! Another point, we're on a roll.  :D

Today we have had the best and the worse of Swindon, awful first half. One way traffic, with Scunthorpe barely having a chance in the second. We will miss Rory next week, but now Roberts is in the team and scoring...so it's not the end of the world.

Off to watch the FA cup draw now...assuming its on tv.

I'm sure the draw's on BBC at 5.10, a nice home draw please.

We are even closing the gap at the bottom too !  Only 5 points now, CCOME ONNN !!!!

The 3 above us are all on 14, and then 2 points to Blackpool so even after our crap run of 8 defeats we're not that far behind.

There's definately hope.

Fallon didnt let us down at all. He was extremely unlucky to get sent off. Their defenders were tauntin him throughout the game too and the ref....well....what can i say....one of the worsed referees i think i have ever seen.
Good to see that the defence played well today and Heaton was hardly ever troubled.
We could have won today, a goal disallowed, McDermott missed a great chance in the first half, Bouzza was unlucky not to score when he put a shot wide of the far post. And there were more chances.

fallon should have had a penalty and got booked stupidly. refree wasn't in a position to give a booking, so therfore couldn't really give a penalty but to assume a dive is stupid!

referee today aswell, disallowing our goal for a penalty? never seen that before. so stupid. you could tell though how improtant it was. every town fan was stood up for that penalty. brilliant support and a deserved point. shame it once again took a sending off and 70 minutes to do something!!

Hameur Bouazza, in his post-match interview.

"I'm just using everything I've got...my strength and my pace *long pause* well that's it really"

Obviously doesnt think too highly of himself  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

it was an awful dive, he deserved to be booked.

Fallon deserved to go, we played better without him because it meant we had to play it in to Bouazza and Roberts feet, rather than hoof it to Rory.

Bouazza was very good today, esp 2nd half him and Roberts caused problems.

Roberts didn't really impress me....

I have to completely disagree I thought roberts played well.Bouazza was Very good.Heaton always impresses me.

Roberts played really well today!  :x

i thought first half he was getting lazy and was annoying the hell out of me.

second half when fallon went we had to play football and pass it around which we did to great effect.

Bouzza was fucking awsum today. when he ran at them he looked so dangerous.

Also anyone take note of Gurney and his Hoddle like passing. He made some quality balls out wide and showed a lot of comitment

I think what was frustrating for us listening at the time was that he was warned seconds before committing the same offence and then getting sent off so soon after... The commentators were saying Iffy was telling him to keep his cool pre-red card too/

Getting taunted is a part of football.

I'm not slagging Fallon off, he has been our best player this season but he was foolish today and he'll miss at Huddersfield.

In hindsight his sending off got us going a fair bit.

Fallon can have no complaints. That dive was embarassing and the ref warned him about jumping 2 minutes before he walked. Not sure what he was doing wrong (leading with the elbow I assume), but he had been warned.

We were largely cack for the second half, a little better in the first. Not sure Iffy got 4-3-3 right - the midfield of Pook (average player), McDermott (ditto) and Whalley (not got the legs in a 3) are pretty poor. I guess Bouazza and Roberts were men to help out but it didn' t work.

One good thing, only conceeded one in 3. Not sure if tthat is down to an improvement in luck, experience coming back in or hard work. If we can be mean in conceeding it is a base to build on.

The backline has improved, he didnt play yesterday but I think Ifil has come on leaps and bounds since he stopped getting slated every week.

Also since Paddy Collins hasnt been playing.

Roberts played well in spells, and awful in others. Very mixed bag

Fallons sending off help us, meant we stopped playing long ball and had to pass it to feet.
