Can't believe no one's done one of these yet, is there really that little interest in it?

Who else is going along tonight? Anyone going to that classy pub? If so, see you there!

I was going to Darlington vs. Huddersfield tonight, but the bad weather and my laziness won. So it's a quiet night in.

MM is serious about this JPT milarky and it could be his saving grace.

Brighton & Hove Albion v Leyton Orient
Cheltenham Town v Walsall
Gillingham v Colchester United
Hereford United v Swindon Town
Luton Town v Brentford
Franchise v AFC Bournemouth
Peterborough United v Dagenham & Redbridge (19:00)
Wycombe Wanderers v Shrewsbury Town (19:00)

I firmly believe that any team in our group can get to the final if they want to.

We will go through on Pens and Smith will redeem himself.

will you get me a special Bendy straw from the special pub?

I am ill - my boss just made me drink a glass of Beroca then I read heat magazine had a sleep on the sofa for an hour and he wrapped me in a table cloth

I think we might scrap through tonight like 1 nil

If you tell me which one I might. And if I get away from Brizzle in time. And if I can find it. So, erm, probably not.

Given your track record of getting to away games you'll be lucky to get there for half time.

I won't be going as just can't be bothered.

i wont be going because i can

I won't be going or listening to the game on the radio. That trumps both of you.

You are when you go in goal for 10 minutes sometime between 8:30 and 9:30.

What a badass :D

I'll be using TEF for updates... It's more fun finding out the scores with "YEEEEEEEEEEEES 1-0 Cox - Malpas out!" or "Shit 0-1 Malpas out!" comments than actual radio commentary.

That's a bit harsh. It was only the Chester game I actually missed half time. We were at Barnet with, ooh, seconds to spare. And I got to Nam this season with enough time spare to buy chips and everything. I've set myself now haven't I? I'll be lucky to get there before the final whistle

Another step on the road to Wembley for Mr Magic :)

OOOOHHH Maurice Malpas' Magic
He Wears A Magic Hat
And When He Saw The Johnston Paint
He Said Im Having That!! OOOOOOH and repeat

You sir, are a mental. Kudos.

That just makes him sound as if he steals from homebase

Do we really care about the Mickey Mouse cup though ?

I live in Hereford and it's my birthday today, and it's only a tenner to go... sorely tempted, but no one to go with!  Tempted to pay for my missus to come with show her what this footie rubbish is about!

Fuck it I'm going...  What's this classy pub everyone is on about?  Not ASB Bar?

Yes, although I'm not going, I care about a possible day out to Wembley - as I'll only go to Wembley if Town get there, or if Scotland play there.

It's what every fan in tier 3 and 4 asks until they're chanting at Wembley Stadium.

Winning this Mickey Mouse trophy would lift this club especially it's fans.

A final place would be magic....this is as important as any league game IMO,it shows what character we have in the team and also gives MM the chance to look at Smiths reaction before sats match which is a must win game......also any match ware Cox can continue banging in the goals is going to do wonders for his confidence...it would be good to have the lgs top scorer on our books.

MM deserves credit here too, as too many of our previous managers treated this competition with a certain amount of aloofness.  MM playing a strong team is great, hopefully Hereford don't have the same view and will put out a below strength team - not that we can;t beat their first team, just that it'd be good to get an easier ride.

I was going to go, but the thought of driving to Hereford in mid-afternoon was frankly so unappealing it made me ill. I did some work instead (and might even do a bit more! :o ). Will try and get reception for RS or RW, but doesn't often happen in Bath :( .

I agree, because we are taking it seriously and going for it this year.

I think we'll win, but the pressure is mounting. Can you imagine what Saturday will be like if we go out of the 'Mickey Mouse' cup with our first team on duty.  That's what makes it important.

Do you really think it will make much difference? The 'Malpas' out' chants will probably occur anyway

i think we will win tonight.but fully expect cretins to abuse individuals on saturday unless we take an early lead

Are you starting a rumour Dave?

Sad to say I know of some so-called Town fans who genuinely want us to lose tonight (and Saturday).

Can't understand that mentality at all. If you don't want to support your own side then why bother?

:(

Come on Swindon!  8)

Yes I do.  A win tonight and on Saturday will quieten it down. Maybe that will buy Malpas some time to turn it around, assuming he can.

You're absolutely right Michael. If people think Malpas is going to make use rot that bad that we have to lose more games to get them out then they are silly. We're not going to be chasing promotion this season and we never were. If Malpas can stabilize and then build us to a team slightly better than last year then it's progress. At the moment there isn't progress which is the reason I am disappointed with everything.

I'd bloody love it if we won tonight and Saturday. Or at least turn out a very good performance in those games. At the moment I am not convinced by Malpas and think getting rid may make us better in the long run, but if he was to turn it around and get some better performances and results out of the team I'd be more than happy for him to stay.

I'll go into every game wanting a win rather than wanting Malpas out. My disappointment in Malpas is directly driven by the performances and results, not my dislike of the man (I don't dislike him for anything other than how the team is doing).

What si said

Guessing we're not doing the prediction league tonight.

I'm actually looking forward to this game, fancy we might do something in this competition this season.

So Brez is in goal then. That's the only change and a surprise to say the least. Smith is on the bench so presumably not injured.

hmm, really can't get interested tonight.

is brez in goal? JPC said he wasnt, the radio must be wrong

Full team from OS:

Swindon Town: Peter Brezovan; Kevin Amankwaah, Jerel Ifil, Sean Morrison, Jack Smith; Craig Easton (Capt), Lilian Nalis, Lee Peacock, Michael Timlin; Simon Cox, Billy Paynter

Substitutes: Phil Smith, Yinka Casal, Jon-Paul McGovern, Anthony McNamee, Barry Corr

So Smith gets the vote of confidence and dropped all in one day. Impressive.

Corr on the bench

Must be a typo

JCP in incorrect information shock. Malpas said he was thinking of keeping the same XI. If anything this would suggest he's listened to the fans... Heaven forbid, he's been on TEF!

2-0 defeat to keep our fans nice and happy....but honestly I hope we fucking win tonight.

Have you ever seen Ben and Malpas in the same room?

I agree although knowing our luck we'll lose to a Peter Brezovan error.

2-1 Town tonight. Another step forward in the comp and maybe the start of turning the corner. I've spoken too soon haven't i?

Has Sean Morrison changed his name by deed poll to Young Sean Morrison, only nobodies called him Sean for weeks.

Blair Sturrock is starting for Bournemouth tonight against Franchise... Hope he can help knock Franchise out.

The improvement in music since the switch back to Radio Swindon is massive.

i want to hear this rhymenoscerous versus hiphopatmus track

Good. We're sending out messages that we're taking this seriously. And we'd better not fuck it up.

3-1 to the Town.

i fucking hope we win this, i would love to go to wembley again with swindon..need a good day out

We better beat these welsh dirty bastard thugs

Thus far this evening Wycombe are losing 3-0 at home to Shrewsbury.

Away we go.

Are we winning yet?

Booooo Malpas out. We haven't scored yet.

Indeed - MALPAS OUT!

:D

What the hell has he done dropping smith ffs clueless scotch twat

Does tonight count for predictions, if so I'm going for a 2-0 away win.

This is well boring!

YEEESSS

Goal?

Really!?!?

yayayayayayayay

But who scored it?

eh?

Twat.

Are we on the wind-up?

Are you sure

Arnold J. must be smirking in front of his PC.

In other news

Brighton & Cheltenham lead 1-0 (Josh Low for Cheltnum)

Nobody's scored >:(

When was Brez announced? I was expecting smith in goal.

you batty crease

About an hour before kick-off.

Good save from brez keeps it 0-0

Teach me to volunteer to wash up!

I'm refusing to listen to the game because -

a) The last game I missed on the radio was Franchise and we won
b) I can't be arsed
c) I thought it would be a challenge to follow the score via the forum....

It looks like its gonna be a long night...

it will be with knobs like rimmer online

Arnold is still giggling away no doubt.

 :girlgiggle:

I must admit I was tempted to join in Rimmers shenanigans with a "get in there!!!!".

I'm not listening either.

I can't listen. Boo. Gay Bath.

Neither am I... one relies on the reactions of others.

If you want a heart attack on your conscience carack away!

nothing has happened yet

*crack*

i've joined the not listening crew. woop

Welcome friend.

PAYNTER!!!

has been given a free kick!

Hohohoho.

See a bandwagon, jump on it eh Dave.......

Hey, its not every day Paynter gets given a free kick despite being raped about 35890409 times a game

groan..

Fair point :)

Ashikodi is waving his arms around.

That's about as exciting as it's been.

Free kick given against Paynter for nothing.

Normal service resumed.

Retract that slanderous insult at once

I just turned the radio on for 20 seconds or so, there were 4 or 5 free kicks given in that time, sounded awful, so I switched off - back to the titanic on channel 5.

Ref likes the sound of his whistle.

It sinks... Now go back to the football :D

It's just free kicks at the moment.

Referee sounds a bit whistle happy.

Moses injured.

Moses off.

Salisbury drawing 0-0 if anyone is interested...

Down to 10 men though.

We almost scored through Cox. Sounded like it would have been a corker.

Oh well corner it is.

I'm listening to the most crackly reception ever....... can only just get radio Swindon tonight

Cox almost got one then.......deflected for a corner

Brez's done a Smith. BALLS

Brezovan has dropped the ball into his net................oh dear

Granville out

Mark Scott in.

BREZOVAN COCKS IT UP NOW!!

Will that win me points in the Prediction league?

Brez drops it in the net.

mmmmmm

Although it sounds like it may not have crossed the line...

I'd like to volunteer my services to play in goal next week.

Bugger....


Probably mentioned somewhere waaaaaayyy back in the thread, but is Aljofree playing?

No, Brez is the only change.

Can we club together and hire a hitman to shoot our goalkeeper coach?

Nope. Same team as Hartlepool bar Brez.

MALPAS OUT! Should have kept Smith in.

Seems to me that Malpas' destiny is to get sacked

You gots to laugh... haven't you?

he's certainly not inspiring the goalies...

After everyone complained, Brez does the same. So Malpas does something they want and then it goes tits up. Poor guy can't win.

God we're shite at the back, get rid of the lot of them.

Cox kicks his boot at Hadwin :D

Yeah and play no one back there. That'll solve our defensive worries!

I am dreading Saturday and hearing our fans

Gobsmacked this cant be happening ...

It ain't over - have faith man :D

It's destiny

I really can't ever remember a Swindon team that made this many mistakes, it's ridiculous! Are they doing it on purpose?!

Didn't mean play with no defence...but now you mention it, none would probably be better tahn the shower at the moment

Its not over yet lads! I have to say, I really wasn't that suprised to hear of the nature of their goal!

fucking hell you're having a laugh?  Jesus, I don't like to apportion blame but what exactly is this goalkeeping coach doing?  Both used to be okay now we have two dodgy keepers.

Some would say so.

Done-we well and truly have been

Whats the youth team keeper like? And the under-15 keeper?

Scott is dreadful from what I've seen and heard .......... time to raid the loan market?

I think its this silly "punch the ball" routine our keepers seemed to have picked up from Granville.... Before our keepers would put their bodies on the line to catch the ball... maybe its only me who noticed this?

Christ it's gonna be depressing on Saturday..... if any of you can hear a gentle weeping throughout the game, that'll be me!!!

On the plus side Amankwaah sounds like he's playing well.

Is he any good in goal?

Fucking hell what is wrong with our keepers?

it will be depressing and emotional... the players and Malpas will be under immense pressure.

I mentioned this months ago.......Granville reminds me of a secondary school sports teacher. He points and shouts alot but is crap at the sport and doesn't really know what he's on about

I dunno. I think maybe we should play three goalkeepers?

....unless we come back into this!

Normal home game then?

Did he have a pro career?I dont think I've ever come across him

Perhaps Brez and Smith have been doing too much partying... Frank Talia was never the same after he nailed my sister in the De Vere.... His handling was always suspect after that, too busy scratching his crotch to deal with difficult crosses.

A distinguished former International goalkeeper himself, John Granville won almost every domestic trophy in his native Trinidad with ASL Sports a stint with the Los Angeles Aztecs, who also included the likes of Johan Cruyff and the late George Best amongst their ranks.

Successful playing spells in England followed with stints at Aldershot Town, Millwall and Wycombe Wanderers.

An FA Trophy final appearance against Kidderminster Harriers in May 1991 in front of 25,000 saw Granville play the game with a broken thumb. The Chairboys went on to win 2-1 with former Town striker Keith Scott also in the line-up.

Rejoined one of his former clubs as goalkeeping coach at Wycombe Wanderers where he replaced Northampton-bound Jim Barron.

Joined Swindon in July 2007, following in the footsteps of the likes of Andy Beasley and Fraser Digby in coaching the keepers at The County Ground.

:D

COX GET IN

1-1 Out of nowhere

ha ha get in coxy

1-1 Cox. Who else.

COX HAS SCORED!!

Thank fuck for Cox

Now cheer up folks!

Cox is on fire

Indeed............

We'd be utterly fucked without him.

Yay. Thank fuck for Simon Cox.

You could say that for many of our former strikers.

Shaun Close?

Ta Rich-but I must say it sounds a lot better than it actually is on close inspection

Yeeeaaahhhhhhhhhhh the Cox is on fire.

Cox to be sold in January then?  ;)

Fallon perhaps proved the point when he left though.

Still scoring a few in the championship

We were fucked even WITH Fjortoft

It's by no means great. The NASL was well on the downward spiral by that point and his successes came in Non-League or Trinidad which is hardly amazing.

Well that's not a great sign for us now then!

Altough no doubt his leaving in 95 was a huge catalyst in our relegation...

Season after wasn't bad though. Walking in a Finney wonderland!

What is the record in a season for a side not to keep a clean sheet, so far nine league games, two jpt, one league cup. In normal time thats over 1,000 minutes that is pretty impressive.

So basically he's abit of a non entity and a bit shit then. I know booing Malpas and the players is a no no but am I allowed to sit behind the dug-out and shout abuse at Granville?

...and the Chief and Thorney

Ha who texted in saying we should have a manatee in goal?!

I doubt Oxford even kept a clean sheet for the whole of the 2000-01 season or Derby last season either.

Well, I imagine that teams who finish rock-bottom don't keep many clean sheets!

Yes

FOTC on BBC Radio Swindon?!

Chris Hay was always a disappointment for me, a real quality player that seemed to just disappear into thin air. Remember his hatrick against Port Vale?  

Sheer class!!

Wycombe Wanderers 0-6 Shrewsbury Town

Good day in the office for Peter Taylor.

Grant Holt with 4 goals.

haha
I cant listen, but i would have spat my tea out had i heard it!

awesome hat trick. I remember his 95th minute equaliser against Bradford. Pure class.

They had only conceded 3 all season before tonight.

Hello, latest score Wycombe 0 Shrewsbury 6, fortress Wycombe in recent years, oh dear.

you were being serious about fotc on the bbc earlier?  class

I'm liking the hip hippopotamus song.

Not the best 1st half for Wycombe.

Again? Ace. What song this time?

Thought you'd be impressed Jan... Hiphopapotamus vs Rhymenocerous got played in full a minute ago...

Over me, what!!

Nowhere near their greatest song though ;)

Guilty!

Make that 7-0

Good good as I think I'm on the verge of shouting a few choice words at him

Its 7 now. Plus its nearly over, KO was 7pm

what was played earlier?  Think about it?  Bowie in Space?  Inner City Pressure?

Other rappers diss me, say my rhymes are sissy....

BBC Swindon played it at half-time in the Hartlepool game as well. Followed by Glen Campbell doing a cover version of the Foo Fighters 'Times Like These' which was a bit odd.

Haha didn't realise that was flight of the concordes..

I’m crying because all of those horrible villagers chased me into this scary cave! I think it’s because I’m so racist. Get your hand off my tail, you’ll make it dirty.

That was great.  We only had the match as we'd both lost in the cup, everyone I knew who was there could tell me why (as I couldn't tell them, either)...that equaliser told us all why.  Bloody great moment.

BTW I'd like to suggest we adapt Kings of Leon's song 'Sex on Fire' for Cox. Perhaps "Heeeeey-ho, our Cox is on fiiiire!", you know, simple and different.

Tbh, I bought all the songs they played at half time for the Hartlepool game.

Talking of which another FOTC episode is on bbc4 tonight at 9.  Worth a view, it's a good one too.

What are the chances of Brez saving 2 pens in a shoot-out?

Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick. Did anyone here text asking where our super vocal aljofree was? is he scared to play away and home?

Might have a watch of that jan. My mate played one of their songs at a gig and it was ace... Beautiful Girls I think it was called.

Guilty.

5 for Grant Holt too.

And for those in the outer-Swindon area, hows the game going?
We dont get commentary here in Berkshire.

Depends how cold it gets and whether the butter freezes....

It's been very dull bar the goals, second half just started.

i am liking that the King of leon new song is peak.

I was getting at that a few pages back just after he scored but no one picked up on it.

Ladies of the World or Most beautiful girl (in the room) - Which is a favourite of Mex's I think.

Come on Town you fuckers, I want to go to Wembley!

We've got the playoffs for that! Oh....

Yep, they'd be among my favourites too.

I'll admit I saw it and it triggered my post ;)

FFS, Ed sort yourself out.

Is it a goal? It is a goal? IT IS A GOAL?

Oh, no, it's not.

Has my radio retuned itself to Brunel?

disallowed goal for Paynter

We scored! Oh no we didn't.

Doh!

51:07
Cross by Kris Taylor (Hereford), save (caught) by Peter Brezovan (Swindon


Surely a typo?

Still sounds like a song about STD's to me!

Is Ben Joyce injured? I havent heard him being mentioned much this season.

I know, I can't see how Cox is keeping him out of team! ;)

He was on the bench at Hartlepool.

1458 attendance

Owch.

"Peacock passes to Amankwaah, his ex Bristol City teammate"

Less of that Hadwin.

Champions Franchise down to 10 men... C'mon Bournemouth. Peterborough knocked out too.

"Swindon need to get players in where Hereford aren't expecting"

I agree. Let's get Brez up there!

And Gillingham losing.....

Much better 2nd half.

 Get Macca on and stretch them in 10 mins time

A lot of corners, sounds promising.

Uh, have we scored from a corner yet this season?

First goal at Aldershot.

No Aljofree to rise like a young salmon and nod them in...

Macca warming up.

Paynter close...

Mcnamee Crescent

Salisbury down to 9 men now Tails.

Aljofree Avenue

Oh dear....

Yeah I heard, Sandell. Not looking good for them after a great start....

Ah well, as long as they get 6 points from the Pox who cares.

Brez Avenue

For those outside of Swindon, nothing hapenned.

Penalties anyone?

Am I allowed to turn on the radio if it goes to pens?

It was good following it on the thread when we played Aldershot.

Hazard Roundabout

Corr on for Paynter

corr on now

Predictions on those who will score/miss?

Brez to save two and score one, thats him cursed then.....

cant be arsed to read, whats happened. in 2 sentances.

Brez dropped it in the net, but it might not have crossed the line. Cox equalised.

Brezovan error 0-1
Cox equaliser 1-1

Fotc has been played on BBC Swindon  Hiphopapotamus vs..

It's 1-1, they took the lead, we equalised.

hahahaha brez is a twat too. is that maurices fault too?

Maybe

Macca for Nalis.

Evidently yes.....

Harsh

Macca on for Nalis.

C'mon Swindon - I loathe penalties and surely we can't win two of them in a season!?!

Malpas really going for it then?

positive move, Macca good as pens then?

Sounds like it!

Sarcasm stinks.....sorry

Dead Man Walking!!

Cheltenham losing... good.

Darren Anderton has scored against the champions.

1-0 Bournemouth.

I would have liked them in the next round

MK losing - better

Damn right.

I wonder if Blair has made an appearance yet...

Sturrock sounds like he's doing the job for Bornmuff.

cant fucking get it on bbc radio on internet. cunts. bring back brunel

Come off the bench twice and started tonight.

He played 70 minutes today... and he's played before.

This is an amazing achievement, we are going to top 20 pages for a Piss Pot Cup Match Fred!!!

Glad for the guy, I met him once and he greeted me like a long lost friend.... nice chap all round..

About 4 pages worth of half time music to be fair.

Come on town, no pens, not again.

We might manage 30 if it goes to pens.

Probably full of people getting ready for us to lose :D

best competition ever...don't diss it

COCK SCORES COCK SCORES

gooooal

GET IN!

From the edge of his own area according to Ed, 120 yards is a fair shot.

Ha ha ace.

Get in Peacock!

Get in?  Really?

Fucking hell

The COCK get in

Super Lee...

yeeeeeh

WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP!

Feed the Cock and he will score..... etc etc

Superb, how long to go?

Still a big day on Saturday me thinks though

There goes the 30 pages!!

Come on town!! Can we hold on?

no backing out of the next round whits.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt0qeIrdRpk

6 mins I think now left.

Wemberlee

3 and a half mins left ...ish.

It's only the paint pot, but a win gives the team confidence.

Que sera sera...

... or is it a bit early for that?

And the penalties. I was getting excited for a minute there.

Conchords has just started on BBC 4, perhaps we could discuss that for another ten or so pages

If we win -is it down to MM?I think yes

Brought McNamee and Corr on, changed the game. So yeah.

Calm down A-dogg.

I blame him for denying us a 40 page match thread. Malpas out!    :D

Well its not down to our goalkeeping coach.

If we hold on am i right in saying we will not have lost away since Cheltenham on August 16th?

If it finishes 2-1, it without doubt goes down to Malpas.

Ha, Gillingscum out!

But then Malpas made the change bringing Brez in who cocked up.... That's how, unfortunately, a few Town fans will see it I'm sure.

3 mins left...added time.

3 mins added time

Okeee Cokeee Malpas - IN OUT IN OUT what the fuck do we shout

Tee-Hee. But saying that I wouldn't want Colchester in the next round, if we got through.

Cox booked for timewasting. Eejit.

Nor Shrewsbury after tonights performance!

I think Saturday is without doubt still a make or break game win it and things calm down a bit lose or draw and its 2 months without a home win. Hereford are without doubt the worst team in our league so need to continue into Saturdays game.

Quite.

anyone away next if we get through!!

But seeing as they can't win at home, would an away day there be so bad......

surely they are in the northern section? Shrewsbury I mean.

I totally agree, but at least a win tonight will give the team some confidence which they desperately need.

Not if they beat Wycombe tonight which they did. I'd happily take an away draw.

we're through then

How many yellows has Cox collected now?

All over...next please!

Damn right, lets not start sucking each others dicks just yet.... Hereford arent gonna set the division alight this year.

Saturday will be the key, but hopefully Malpas can use this game to boost confidence. Peacock to keep his place?

Hallelujah - a win at last!!

Huzzah!

They beat Wycombe tonight 7 - 0 so they must be in southern.

Get in all over.

...and Franchise were knocked out at home.

Lovely.

Hell yea, good result. Looking forward to the game a little more now on Saturday....

That'll do us some good for Saturday.

And another strong team....Peterboro beaten at home too.

Any london teams left? That would do me nicely.

Brentford or Luton would be good for me, I think they are going to extra time.

Cmon Brentford

Bournemuff away would be nice for me :)

Yeah good to see people spotted my deliberate mistake!

Thus far in the Southern secion.

Dagenham & Redbridge
Shrewsbury Town
Walsall
Colchester United
Swindon Town
Bournemouth

(all winning away from home tonight)

do they still do the draw on Soccer AM?

yes

Well done boys,just the tonic for all the fans,the players and management.

Special mention to Peacs,well done fella,all heart and endeavour!

Brighton - Orient pens as well

So, the only two away games I've not been to or listened to on the radio we win, looks like I'm not allowed to tune in from now on....

i'll be there i'll be there, with my cans of wrexham lager i'll be there

All JPT games get played in the week don't they?

Bournemouth would be a good game.

Got a text from a mate who was there... First half both teams were rubbish but we controlled the 2nd half and deserve to go through.

Arch out!

Luton through on pens.

 :D

...and Brighton win on pens aswell.

We'll get Brighton away - that's my prediction.

Who cares who we get, as long as it is not at home.

Bournemouth would be good, last time I planned to go my car broke down!

I'm not setting foot in that bloody Withdean again, not after that playoff semi final defeat....... getting beaten on penalties just edged the pneumonia I got in the depression stakes....

Dagenham & Redbridge
Shrewsbury Town
Walsall
Colchester United
Swindon Town
Bournemouth
Luton Town
Brighton & Hove Albion

I said it before kick-off... Anyone in this section can get to Wembley.

Got my prediction right :D

Good win tonight. Don't normally care for the JPT, but a win was desperately needed for Malpas and fair play he did us well tonight. Bring on Saturday.

anyone know when the next round is played?

good to see Corr coming on again

I think the reason we won tonight is because MM is taking this very seriously indeed. It's about time we all did the same because a trip to Wembley is there for the taking.

Id like Dagenham and Redbridge away - new stadium to tick off!

word

sorry hang on wycombe lost 0-7?

nought- seven?

Off topic but when is the FA cup ist round draw?

I might have to force myself to watch Soccer AM on saturday to see the draw, its that exciting now!

Double word about an hour and a quarter on the train for me.

Fair play malpas got it spot on tonight

Yep the vidiprinter would be like this....

Wycombe Wanders 0 Shrewsbury Town 7 (Seven)....[]

 The vidiprinter is a classic example of progress being shit...the teleprinter, being that much slower gave you just that bit longer to savour the tension of awaiting an away result....if it appeared say......Port Vale 0.....then you knew at least a point was in the bag,  worth enjoying for itself...but it offered up the distinct prospect of an away win...here it comes...Swindon Town 0  :(

Even with the vidiprinter that split second was nerve wracking enough... I don't think I could cope :)

A spell out of the team seems to have done Peacock a bit of good!

Good win, I think it's really important that despite going a goal down, we came back to win instead of folding as we have done previously.

I know it's not a great competition but it might be just the ticket to get some passion into the team (and the fans).

Some words from MM.

http://www.herefordunited.co.uk/upload/club/herefordunited/video/free/Malpas_Swindon_JPT.mp3

Brilliant....get in....been out all evening..Dag and Red at home for me in saturdays draw,another unbeaten away match!
Say we are goin up say we are goin up!....
When are we goin to get a song goin to praise Coxy,hes the best weve had since Parkin.
Simon Cox in the box,fuk the hound weve got the fox!

Just got in too and delighted we won. Like your Simon Cox ditty too leefer. I think he's better than Parkin at his best.

Just seen the goals. Not sure that their's even crossed the line, Cox's was a bit of a strange one and appeared to be in slow motion, but Peacock's was good, ball pulled back from near the byline and he arrived late to slot it home.

That's excellent Leefer,you should be our cheerleader at the CG.

Super, Super Si
Super, Super Si

could that one work. I used to love hearing that ring round the County Ground. It was the only chant everyone could do in time and at the same time!

Simon Cox my lord, Simon Cox...

But Mr Leefers is the best.

We bought the lad from reading scum coxy coxy. We bought the lad from reading scum coxy coxy.we bought the lad from reading scum he gets the ball he scores for fun its simon cox swindons number 9, then bounce

just got back, that was fun.

totally controlled the second half - hereford didn't get a sniff after the break. Good finish by cox, although the shot took an age to get in. Peacock battled away again and was rewarded. Amankwaah got forward a lot but a lack of wingers made us look like we lacked real attacking threat. Ifil and morrisson did well at the back, and some of jerel's passes even made it to our players.

roll on the QFs.

oh, and the ref was shiiiiiiiit.

apart from him wearing 31 I like it...

That would be mint. I am a huge fan of the Torres song.

Oh yeah had the torres one in my head

could change one of the reading scum lines to wears 31...

or just end it with 'Swindon's 31'

Easy to catch on aswel

We bought the lad from reading scum coxy coxy. He's wears shirt number 31 coxy coxy.we bought the lad from reading scum he gets the ball he scores for fun its simon cox swindons number 9, then bounce

Just a bit different, would be ace if you get all three opening lines to be different

Simon Cox in the box...fuk the hound weve got the fox...simple lads!

he's still not number 9 though.

31 doesnt quite fit though....and he plays like a number 9 should, the shirt is wasted on Corr!

Our Cox score more
Our Cox score more
Our Cox score loads more than yours
Our Cox score loads more than yours

This is surely a job for Monsieur FlammableBen!?!

Fox,Fox in the box say weve got Simon Cox!

He couldn't come to Cheltenham he said he said
Could not afford to come along he said he said
But we took Gary on the train
Back to Cheltenham again
Gary Stanley is a blow up doll


That alone is why the Torres song should never be sung in Swindon, in any form  :-[

wooooooaaaaaaahhhhooooo
our cox is on fire

I like this one because it's not used by Liverpool (at least I don't think it is).

Its not by the beatles, the scousers wont have heard of it

Then you have my permission to use it... as if you needed it anyway but use it as you will.

yaaay

Just seen it on ssn - bad mistake by brez but it never went over the line, good recovery by the big man.

Good night. First half was a bit meh, both sides failing to impress.

2nd half it was all us, we played some nice football, kept the ball well and looked quite solid.

Peacock has completely won me over, I used to think he was a headless chicken, but after seeing our performances without him, compared to when he's in the side, I've come to the conclusion that the bloke's immense, he never stops running, tackling, breaking up play and his goal was well deserved. He is definitely best at midfield though.

There'll be those who belittle this result, either because it's the JPT, or because it was against Hereford, but I really think we could've turned a corner last night. There seemed to be more team spirit and determination than of recent games and a win can only inspire confidence.

Just hope the crowd on Saturday give them a chance.

Hehehehehe, i like that...

A win is a win and let's hoep that this could be a turning point in the season, unfortunetly I'm not so sure, Saturday is really crucial now, we must get a win no if's no but's.

Listening to MM interview he was blaming the press for putting out negative messages and telling them ti was down to them to put out some positive messages to the fan's - errr sorry but if you are not winning or you concede 3 from being 3 up then what positives can be taken - win a few games and get some consistency in the team and all the negativity will dissapear with everyone backing a winning team and a manager that has proved he can turn it around.

It was a good result last night, I think someone mentioned it already in this thread, but isnt our away record pretty good this year? Only lost away at Cheltenham?

Perhaps it's because the Hartlepool game felt like a defeat....

Just need to get our home form together, perhaps we better start cheering for the away team and make it feel like an away game for our players... :D

Do you go to home games Arch?

spot on. i have seen it also. poor mistake.

Hmm, that was my thought when I spotted the keeper looking distinctly Brez-shaped but as rbe pointed out, actually it may have been a clever bit of pre-game gamesmanship by MM. Leak to the Adver (and JPC) and other well-known sources that you're sticking with Smith, Turner tells his team "Right lads, they've got a keeper low on confidence so just pepper him with balls, force the error" then out they go and it's "Ooh, hang on who's this bloke?". All of a sudden it's Hereford who are feeling ill-prepared and on the back foot. Erm, it was a lot more convincing when rbe explained it to me last night. And tbh, difficult to find any other reason for the Phil Smith Hokey Cokey.

Oh, and Sam, I was in the ground for kick-off, thank you very much. O ye of little faith.

Postives to be taken from Hartlepool

* Cox getting a hat trick
* Transforming the team from the shambles v Millwall to being 3-0 up after 52 mins away
* Looking in control until PS' error gave Hpl a life line

I agree with MM, we possibly do need a bit of help from the Adver to try and focus on the positives get the good vibes back at the CG.  Doom and gloom just breeds stress and unhappiness, as Graham Taylor said "if my players had a face like yours (Rob) they'd be out the door, now put a smile on your face...".

We are not a the doomsday scenario that some would lead us to believe we are, it's so early in the season, yeah we're looking ropey at the back but that can be fixed.  The team's away form should be enough for the fans to give them a little slack when it comes to home matches, but at the minute it seems I'm in the minority on that point.

Unbeaten away since 16 Aug - that's quite impressive!

We really should go all out to win this now,  I see Carlisle, MK Dongs, Peterbro and Huddersfield all went out to L2 opposition last night

Went last night and enjoyed the second half after the tit ref decided not to blow the whistle every two seconds which was spoiling the game for both sets of fans.
Maybe Malpas has finally discovered what we already knew........Peacock is better in midfield than up front..........
After we went through on dreaded pens against the Shots i had a belief that we would do well in this cup and after last night i really feel that this could be our year........lets hope for an away draw on Saturday!!!!

I agree with Colin. The only team left in that I'd be worried about is Leeds. But there's no one in the Southern Section that we can't beat.

In his post match interview he said he still sees him as a striker.

To be honest what Malpas has said to the media and what he has then done have not been too similar this season so far.

Fair play to Easton and Peacock.

Yeah second that, in this day and age, a nice gesture from the boys. They both seem to do well with engaging with the fanbase and local populace. Long may it continue.

Who was Dylan?  I'm assuming it was a young lad.  Nice touch by the lads.

I do, I'm a season ticket holder..... and I've paid my second installment!!!

He was a six year old boy who had a brain tumour/cancer and recently passed away tragically.

it was indeed a nice touch by the lads.

6?  Flip, that's terrible.   How sad poor little lad.

Fair play to the lads!

30 pages?

oooh

Thats a well nice touch by the lads

and 30 pages!!!!!!!

This JPT second round match thread has had it all.

The 30 page mark is clearly proof the the JPT is the worlds best and most coveted trophy**







** if we win it

Fantastic gesture to the lad and his grieving family, restores some of my faith and respect in pro footballers.

Peacock for captain.

He scores with his left, he scores with his riiiiight.
That boy Coxy, makes centre backs look shite.

Aha! I see now. Last night we discovered your effect on away games, so I have a cunning plan. This Saturday instead of going to the ground, as you reach the street outside your front door locate the nearest manhole cover. Lift it carefully and then descend into the chamber remembering to close the lid behind you. You may take a wi-fi laptop with you to keep in touch with the matchday thread (but a portable radio is a definite no no) and possibly a flask of Bovril. If, as I suspect, we defeat Udders we will then know for sure the cause of our paltry home form.

If this works I'm sure we would all chip in to make the sewer or whatever a more comfortable place for you.

Is it at all possible to create a song or even use a song that isn't used by the likes of Man Utd and Liverpool?

In fairness, probably not.

i did!!!

Oh coxy whoah
Oh coxy whoah
His finishing’s sublime
He should wear number 9

Simon Cox (Cox)
You know he will work off his socks
You've got the power to know
He will score lots of goaaalllsss
Always beleive in Simon cox

Sorry

So you fucking should be

Yes Dave, yes you did.

you are too kind WTRRA!

I was too busy playing mario kart to read the thread. But the manatee in goal email/text made me laugh.

pauld, are you sure you just weren't really late for the league game ?

N64 or Wii?

SNES.

Ah, so online isn't an option then..

(to the blue moon tune)

Cooooooxy
he used to play for plastics,
makes keepers look like spastics,
He loves to score hat tricks!!

The Snes emulator, Zsnes can do interweb playing, well the old version can anyway. My internet connection is a bit shit though.

Yup it should be done.

You mean that wasn't the League game? When do we play them in the JPT - I reckon we'll beat them in that too

As i went to the game think i may as well give my opinion on the nights fun.Thought we were the better side,although Hereford were pretty dire,especially in the second half.Have to admit that i thought it was going to be another one of those games where we play alright and don't get the result.But we did,and when we scored i was beyond chuffed.But then considering i haven't seen us win since Aldershot away[and that doesn't really count] its not too surprising i was so happy about it  ;D

Jerel looked great.Seemed as if he was winning every tackle and was full of confidence,just like the normal Jerel.I'm hopeful Aljofree will stay ill.

Brilliant to see Peacock playing in midfield.Taken to long for it to happen in all honesty and you have to wonder if it will continue.But what he maybe lacks in natural midfield ability he more than makes up for with his desire to win every game when he's got a town shirt on.Got to love the bloke  :nod:

All in all was a good night.Certainly worth not getting to bed before 11.30 for.Only sore point[aside from Brezovan's cock up] was fucking Byrne at the end,coming over torwards the stand and giving us the thumbs up for fucks sake.Pissed me right off cause i wanted to applaude the players not him,what a cock he is.

I only listened on the radio but there were a few times that you could hear the difference when Ed Hadwin would say something about Peacock kneeing it away, blocking or just getting in the way. He didn't say it about anyone else (until Corr came on later on) but having watched the 'Pools goals again at least one goal was down to players not just getting something, anything in the way.

As someone else said on another thread I too had watched Peacock this season and thought that this looked a year too far for him. But it is nice to be wrong. Again.

 

I suppose he cant win........i think that all playing staff AND officials should applaud away support win, lose or draw....so i dont think he did much wrong.

That made me think, I've not seen us win since we beat Tranmere on the opening day. That's bad.

  You surprise me Larwood, he is a big strong boy mind...ever thought of trying lube?

Childish but I did have a chuckle when one line ended with "Only sore point[aside from Brezovan's cock".

If that was planned Larwood, I take my non-existent hat off to you!

and she even went on to fuck Bryne at the end.

(sorry larwood)

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

sounds like a good night all round!

To be honest Ive not been a huge fan of Byrne ever since he was our subsitute on our table! 

WOW ive been slated early in this thread! to be fair in the team meeting Smith was named in goal, dunno what changed havent spoken to anyone yet

Ha ha, oh yeah, just noticed that, Larwood you should be a football journo, with those kind of innuendos.

Given how heavily it was being leaked all over the press yesterday that Smith was definitely the keeper, looks like a deliberate attempt to wrongfoot Hereford through all the usual leaky sources, including the players. Maybe Malpas is smarter than your mates give him credit for?

I've got my own chant that I might start on Saturday, probably appropriate... Stolen off Millwall

No one likes us
No one likes us
No one likes us
Not even us
We are moaning
Always moaning
We are moaning
Malpas out.

Not sure about the last few lines though.

Jesus mate

as I was still in the States for the Tranmere game .............................


I have not seen us win at all

 :( :cry:

On the JPT front it's currently Rotherham 1-0 Leeds - I have no doubts that Leeds will get back in this.

Rotherham very gud team i have them at 40/1 to go up

....and Andy Nicholas is playing.

Fuck... Fair play to robins getting them into a plus points position

... Yeah, but as mentioned they've got a good squad.

Tis now 1-1.

Cheers rich you are so sweet

Leeds have a superb squad, that Howson lad is 3rd choice central midfielder at best for them. Would walk in to any other side in this division.

Thanks.....

:D

....and they've scored again.

Rotherham 2-1 Leeds.

Now 3-1 Rotherham - crazy times.

[edit]

Make that 4-1.

[edit]

4-2.

It's still a dull game though  :D

Get in we will have a easy final

Rotherham had a goal disallowed but the goal music came on.

I loathe music after goals.

Was it a good song

Can't remember!

They just had the usual clip of losing fans leaving early and one guy was walking down the steps shadow boxing!

'OOLIGAN!

Haha those northern types

Leeds are out.

Good good

Why is it Sky always show Leeds? Does my head in.

Same reason bbc always insist on showing all premier league team cup ties unfortunatly it gets more viewers

...which isn't really rocket science, is it?

anyway, not convinced that hereford's goal was a goal. looked as if brez stopped it, not a great angle though so may be wrong

But you may not be,will we ever know?

not without the ability to travel through time.

Are the goals online anywhere? Missed the news, if they were on.
