...we lost at home to Birmingham 4-1.  Time before that was the classic 3-3 draw against Norwich.  Last time we won on 19 Feb was 1991 against Sheff Wed 2-1.

We will win this Saurday though.

i was a mascot for the game  :shock:  :\/ :\/

I was at the Norwich and Wednesday games, when was the Birmingham game though?  I remember losing 1-4 to Bradford at about this time of year, is it that the one you mean?

Erm, according to my sources, it was Birmingham, in 2000.

The day of that Norwich match was my 17th birthday!!  Remember Jan's header???  Quality!!

the main thing i remember about that game was chris sutton shoulder barging kilcline off the ball. it stuck in my head because kilcline wasn't really a small build was he!

cracking game of football to

Ooh err, there it is on the excellent www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk website.  I should have checked that first I suppose.

I still don't remember it though!

Wierd. :shock:

The Norwich game was excellent - Goss, who should not have been on the pitch got a late equaliser.  If we had won, we would actually have moved off the bottom. :(

Go to the on this day section and bingo, you can check Swindon's results on all sorts of different days.

If you go there today you'll notice that Swindon Town FC have never won a football match on this day, 16 Feb, ever!!!  Villa in the cup was our last game on this day, live on BBC1 when "the idiots" lobbed stuff at the temporary studio on Stratton Bank.

We did of course defeat Eastleigh Athletic 7-1 on this day in 1898

And a big 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' to Town legend Rex Tilley, born this day in 1929.

Ooooh, I could be a presenter for Radio Local,  Yeeeeesssss Indeedy!!

yeh. good old Rex, when is his autobiogrpahy coming out!?  :beers

Did he play for Peterborugh as well???  If he did his biography could be called

"Posh and Rex"

Gutted he didn't - He only played for Chippenham, Swindon and Plymouth.

Was that Norwich game when Jan scored the header at the Bank, running away from goal?

Fupping great header.

That's the one Davido, fricking superb goal, one of my favourite Jan goals, bit like the Millwall chip.

the millwall chip was possibly my fave jan moment

Especially when Mick McCarthey called it a fluke.  Had he not bothered what Fjortoft had done in the last year?!?  Showed what a third rate piece of shit manager that he was/is.  Loved it when Keane told him where he could stick it!!!

I thought it was more of a curler than a chip. Might be my ageing brain letting me down though.

never a fluke, the accuracy was just immense

yup, top corner curler from edge of box

i wonder if its on the net anywhere

Didn't it chip the keeper, whilst curling into the inside of the post then it bounced into the net.  10 years ago now.  Time flies eh?!?

Summerbee was on fire that day against Norwich.

Summerbee was class for us, on Record Breakers, and for Sunderland, until Peter Reid fell out with him and shipped him out, the knob jockey.

I don't think I got my point accross as well as I could have done....

Summerbee was on FYAH that day.

I suppose the main thing is how intriguing a contest Test matches usually are. The game ebbs and flows over five days and at the end of that, imposing a defeat and vicotry on either side would be unfair on them, if neither has fairly won the game.

wrong thread surely??

Absolutely.  8)
