Apparently Gurney and Swans midfielder Andy Robinson hate each other and have nearly come to blows before and both had to be subbed at half time to stop them doing a Bowyer/Dyer....although with Gurney involved I would have expected more bloodshed.

Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 14:05:28 Sounds like Ifil is playing well. Backs to the wall stuff though.
Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: genf_stfc on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 14:10:01 what end are we attacking, having trouble visualising ...
Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 14:13:20 I think we are attacking the TE.

Lots of positives, Shakes seems to be coming on in leaps and bounds, one goal conceded in four games and we're off the bottom.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!!!! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: Spud on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 14:51:46 I was happy with a point until CCP miss at the end, i came away feeling like we had just lost.

Twas a belter of a match, you should have went cheapo's 8) Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: STFC_Chris on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 15:07:31 Good game. Rhys was definately man of the match, several top saves to keep us in it. Jerel won every tackle, still can't pass though.
Swansea were nothing special, they actually seemed to improve once that diving flash cunt Trundle was taken off. CCP should have won it in the last minute, he was gutted. Still, a draw against the team 2nd in the league is a good result. James Constable has done us a favour by putting two past Blackpool. Just need Doncaster to beat Rotheram, to keep them within touching distance. Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: janaage on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 15:09:30 Fucking hell "that's why you're bottom, that's why you're bottom" sang by the Swans lot after CCP's miss, couldn't have put it better myself. You've gotta take those kinda chances.
Fuck me, I should be happy with a draw but I can't help thinking if only. Happy new year mo'fo's. Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: Spud on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 15:10:06 Yep totally agree with that, Evans MOTM, Ifil did alright but his passing gets worse. Trundle is a total cunt and the ref might aswell have put a Swansea shirt on.

Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: my-velocity on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 15:11:35 Evans MOTM agreed then.

Then they put a steward as a 4th official :shock: Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: normy on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 15:24:33 A good game to watch, hard fought and tense. Thought all the Swindon players had good games, no passengers. Rhys was excellent, my MOTM also. If only Ifil could pass to somewhere near a red shirt... otherwise generally strong.
Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: janaage on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 15:26:55 Personally I thought Gurney was dire, absolutely dreadful. He almost cost us a goal (the attempted lob over Rhys) by not winning a 70/30 header from a Swansea goal kick.
Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: BrightonRed on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 15:47:29 Thats some of the worst officiating I've seen in quite some time. It started pretty well because the Ref wasn't pulling them back for a bit of contact.
It seemed to me that the Ref needed to come off so the linesman replaced him, that porker of a 4th official became the new linesman and the original ref became the 4th official. It went seriously downhill from there.. Still can't work out how Swansea didn't convert at least one of a host of chances. Yes - they did look better with Trundle off the field. That turn and volley that hit the crossbar would have been an awesome goal. I had already entered delerious celebration mode before I realised that CCP's effort was wide. Stef had a great game today, as did Rhys.

He almost cost us a goal (the attempted lob over Rhys) by not winning a 70/30 header from a Swansea goal kick. Gurney was Ace. Really got stuck in. The team as a whole played very well. Couldn't fault a single player. Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: DiV on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 15:51:09 Im happy with a point
we could have had all 3, but could just have easily come away with 0. Evans was ace, the one he tipped onto the bar....awesome Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 16:22:26 point against top of the league? yeah i'll take that. :nod:
Title: Swindon v Swansea - Matchday thread Post by: Boeta on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 16:57:58 evans was sensational
ifil in the first half was an absolute joke. i havent seen as bad a defensive display as that since jason drysdale. thankfully he sorted himself in the second half town look so much more organised under onoura which has the been the basis of managing to turn games which we would have previously lost into draws. to turn these draws into wins we've got to start playing through migs everytime we got the ball very impressed by brown - need to keep him. shakes was anonymous for the first 60 mins but for the last half hour there wasn't a better player on the pitch |
