So it's friday night,

I'm home quite drunk after a night in the su. Tonight I got glow paint all over a polo shirt I bought from a market in Turkey.

That means it's time for my 8th Matchday Thread!

Fuck their unbeaten run, we can win!

1-0

Yay optimism!

Yay, we are going to win

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy

I aim to please.

We can fuckin do this!

2-1.

Crowd of 8,930

COYR !

3-2
Crowd of 6800. Paolo and Lee Clarke to have a fight too.

2-1 would be very nice

 You'll see! :nod:

Confidence is high after recent results, but with quite a few players missing and 'Uddersfield being unbeaten for the past 700 games, I think they might just sneak it 2-1.

Hope i'm wrong though and we shit 'em 5-0.

Head says we'll be brushed aside.

Heart says we can do this.

Come on you REDS.

It's clear we've won now. We may as well close the thread. 2-2 draw, reply week tuesday and we'll win that when no one expects us to.

Head says 6-0, heart says 6-0! :clap:

1-3 defeat. Ward hattrick.

Admire the optimism but I personally think we'll get a bit of a pasting.

1-4 Ward to score at least one

1-3

Wife and and son = lucky charm again. tight 1-0 2-1 win for the town.

I think we'll take them back up North.

Can someone provide a stream pleeeeease.

I like Cup games... No pressure when you're a L2 team taking on higher opposition.

1-2 loss after a valiant but outclassed effort.

They are are on a fucking good run of 43 games or something unbeaten in all competitions isnt it?

Cant see us getting a result, honestly, a draw would be an achievement.

0-2 defeat in front of 6,433 crowd with 844 from udders.

2-2 draw.

Looking at all the dross we could've got this really was a shit draw.

They'll be too strong for us

0-2

Head says 0-2, everything else says 2-1 us, been a shite morning already and can't see the day getting any better   :badmood: ....plus we're away at the team I predicted in JPT...Southend (great!)

http://www.datm.info/blast-from-the-past/swindon-town-a-fa-cup-blast-from-the-past

1-1 today i reckon..

Not overly fussed about today's result as the league is far more important for me this season.  A win would be a bonus and I'm sure we have it in us so I'm going for 1-0 Swindon COYR

2-2 in front of 6321 connell and flint ward x2

I will be trying this which is normally ok: http://www.freefootball.org/upcoming.php (http://www.freefootball.org/upcoming.php)

Not used it in a while though so will find a better one if thats no good

Cheers mate, I doubt the shitty connection at work will be much use tbh but I'll give it a go.

http://www.firstrowsports.tv/ has it listed as showing, so that might be an option.

I'll go for a 2-2 draw, but I 'm pretty sure we'll actually lose.  A decent performance is the most important thing today though.

2-1 Town just under 6k with 300 from Udders.

How much are tickets today?

SuggWillSugg unbeaten run >>> 'Udders unbeaten run

2-1 Town, 6885 crowd.

Swindon Town: Foderingham; Caddis (capt), Flint, McCormack, Kennedy; Ritchie, Ferry, Risser, Gabilondo; Connell, De Vita

Subs: Smith P (GK), Thompson N, Thompson L, Smith J, Esajas, Storey, Kerrouche

Who is 'Thompson L'?

Seen as the game is on ''Setanta Ireland'' has anyone found any live streams on the internet?

PM if you do :)

Louis Thompson. Nathans lil bro.

Just heard Shaun Hodgetts say that. Didn't know he was at the club ???

Nah I hadn't heard of him til this season. A winger and a highly rated one by all accounts.

try justin tv im set up ready to watch it.

Ward on the bench then.

This one is working ok for me at the moment:

http://www.sport24.me/streams/CreepyTV.html

Shit not anymore - keeps switching to the Wales game.

This seems good

http://www.adthe.us/streams/CreepyTV7.html

Change the hxxp to http

COYR!

I'm following the match live on stream here in Norway!

Louis Thompson on the bench for the first time in his career? Is he the younger brother of Nathan - they look alike?

Cheers.

This one is less choppy - same as before change the hxxp to http

The Firstrowsports one mentioned is the best for me - http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/91421/3/watch-swindon-town-fc-vs-huddersfield-town.html (http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/91421/3/watch-swindon-town-fc-vs-huddersfield-town.html)

it's about 30secs behind my stream

Yeah I noticed that! Just watch one stream at a time and it'll be fine ;)

refs a fucking cock already i see

Looks good on my tv  :D

fuck me, he's given high foot against de vita when mccoombes foot was approx 30 centimetres higher

good quality too Si. Cheers

Uddrs much the better side atm

what game you watching??????????????????????????????

We are the team in red not blue

Freekick in good position

Free kick just outside there box

Over good attempt

clearly cunt chops.

but to say they're much the better side is a bit OTT.

they'd done nothing of note before that post. just hoof ball

Holding our own at the mo, need to start getting Gabilondo and Vita into the game

Pretty even so far imo

Poo!!

Bollocks

shit defending town

ruddy heck

Oh dear

I'd have said they had more up front, but hadn't really done much either. Of course that's now changed.

This is what happedns when The P****e get involved with STFC

explain? cos i clearly said

Danny Wilson's boys two up

Gabbi needs to be on the ball more

Just interesting how people see the same game differently

Lets hope Town get an equaliser

Shit defending for the goal
Risser is just pony and looks knackered
Ritchie needs to get involved
Caddis looks like he's walked out of the Blue Oyster Club
Oh yeah...and stop the fooking long ball!!

the thing i've noticed so far is the changed side hasn't got the ballance that we've had in the previous 6 league games.

De Vita is too lightweight up front and Rissa isn't as good as we'd hoped he'd be. Hasn't got Smiths battling ability

agreed! sadly up front despite the 50+ strikers we've got/had this year we've got these two, a knackered algerian and a pacey kid

Caddis having good game

now i'll agree with you ;)

shit defending by Kennedy and then a brilliant 60yd pass to Ritchie. Consistancy Kennedy please!

 :nod:

get in flint

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Flint!

in like flint

Great delivery, commentators seemed to think so to.

You all saw that 30 secs before me :D

GET IN!

Also agree with comments about Risser, would have preferred Smith.

Not complaining obviously but surely Flint is a good yard offside when Connell flicks it on.

Who cares though - GET IN!  :clap:

2-1

come on town

get in vitaaaaaaaaaaaaa

De Vita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

De Vita!!! Get In.

YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Fuck a duck

ha ha ha

great save wes

what a save. sign him up

Great save

To the heartbeat theme


Raffa
Raffa de vita runs down the wing for
DUHNA DUHNANA DUHNA DUH NA NA DUHNA DUH NA NA

Let's hope so. Had no chance with their goal

Like to see Kerrouche on in second half.  He will run around a fair bit and could be handy if we are leading with 10 mins to go (eg is pressing of players)

Hold on till half time then. Good advert for the FA Cup

Their McDermott looks pretty useful

Yeah McDermott does look good and he's always class for me on Football Manager

HT

Credit to Kennedy. He's dealing with McDermott pretty bloody well. I've always rated Callum, but this McDermott lad is pretty handy, however he's dealing with him.

WOW!! What a turn around in fortunes. Great couple of goals.

Kennedy having a stormer so are a few others to be fair. Foderingham is a legend

McDermott is a handy player. Is he Terry's son??

typically i was off helping someone take my old sofa away, come back to find we're 2-1 up! what were the goals like?

Half-time. Very happy with that. Wasn't watching replays of our first closely enough to work out if Flint was offside or not. Not that I care!

We haven't been amazing, but haven done well enough - have given the ball away a bit and lose our shape at times... but we're on top on the scoreboard and if we can get our set pieces right then hopefully it'll stay that way. I do worry that changing to more negative tactics might expose us a bit...

First one was a Flint header from a Ritchie free kick and second Ferry pulled it back to de vita who scored from edge of six yard box.

Decent enough first half.

Disappointing goal to concede but you can't fault the response from the lads or the way we've conducted ourselves. Second goal particularly was great play.

Would like to see us push on in the second half rather than sit back but we're giving it a good go, can't ask for any more!

Second goal was some lovely movement by De Vita

was going to say what processed beats said.

will add a great tip over from the fods. exactamondo.

in fairness to him i think he's doing well

connell will be off soon.

Think he's done well holding up play when the opportunity has arisen

i hope not, he looks class with his back to goal

who are the subs again?

Risser's a bit of a wuss

smiffy
the thompson twins
storey
esajas
and two others

need Smith in MF

Substitutes
26 Smith, 15 Thompson, 28 Storey, 37 Thompson, 11 Esajas, 24 Smith, 39 Kerrouche

yup!

Good news, McDermott off

i'm hoping it has the oposite effect. said the same about De Vita and he scored ;)

fucking hell Risser. you're shit

Another good save by Wes

esajas for gabi?

easyjets coming on

Risser is awful. Will he be going to the ACoN's?

Looks likely

yup

smith for risser soon surely. risser isn't really in the game...

boo we didn't break roberts' leg this time
(tongue in cheek)

be nice wardy

Wardy on

Wardy on. I'm worried now.

cheating bastard, that was never a corner

refs fucking shit

We're too deep

great touch by connell there to give the ball to ritchie

would rather have Ritchie

get fucking Risser off

yup
yup

yup!

ferry's either lumping it long or offering shit short passes...purely in my mind because risser is offering him nothing alongside

Connell looks fucked. worked his bollox off up top

risser isn't supporting him at all

esajas for skills school

lumping it upfield will just means it will just be coming straight back.

We need some fresh legs on quick

storey, try to stretch their defence with his pace

Can't believe there are some mongy fucking idiots booing Danny Ward.
Kennedy is having his best game to date that I've seen.
Not been impressed with Risser. Connell works very hard but nothing seems to fall for him

Kerwoosh for Connell

I don't quite understand what message you are trying to convey

FUCKING LOVELY

Get in kerwoosh

anton robinson has done well, he was playing for weymouth and has always looked shit against us.

EASY EASY EASY

come on

Keoooooooooooooosssshhhhhhhhh!

FUCK yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

gREAT RUIN FERRY

Made by Ferry

Kerrouche get in! Game over surely!

Great play from Ferry.

easy easy

Keroooooooooooooooosh!


Don't say that!

shut up!!

Great direct run by Ferry! Reminds me of the play off season

We want four!

Pox three down

pox city still in nthe hat though!!

Our lot singing 1-0 and you fucked it up  :cry:

Not a good idea.

Got to make every effort to sign Wes

4-5-1

Vita off Smith on

De Vita off for Smith.

some cunt just called us swansea

The commentator on the stream I'm watching just referred to us as Swansea...

Thats all I have to add.

Although I did just jump around my uni room when we scored..

They must have heard about the jackets

i'm watching via setanta. decent link

risser just fucking did t'udders. that's salt in the wound

FERRY!!

Woot! Boi

Ferry 4 yesssssssssssssssssssssssss

correction, that was salt into the wound
fucking ace ferry

Ferry you legend!!

Can I say game over now?!

Fantastic!

ferry MOM surely

Brilliant, game over

Fucking love Si Ferry!!!

BOOM!!!

Feel free! Get in.

Yes, yes you can!

Absolutely outstanding.

5 mins

Time for another one then.

Agreed, this is a phenomenal result..

Di Canio looking like the real deal

I still love the Cup

easyjet just had a pop well over

How physically fit (apart from Risser) do the Town look!

Poor lee clark looks shocked ha ha. :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

All over - so proud of them today

brilliant

All over brilliant performance

We do!

Exciting times :) Great result

8 Theads.

8 Wins!

YEAAH mother fuckers!

Amazing result!!! GET IN!! Couldn't be happier

to quote setanta.

What a result!

Wrong way round thankfully :)

What a game! What a result.

With Risser and Esajas finally coming good (and getting some game time), it's like having 2 new signings.

from 1-0 down .............. MAGNIFICENT.......... :clap:PROUD TO BE A TOWN SUPPORTER COME ON YOU REDS

That was an excellent performance! Can't quite believe it, especially after going 0-1 down!

Must say a big thank you to JJEdmunds for the link.

Risser was shocking today

One pasting done now for another...

Spain to do England over good and proper!!

Have you been sniffing glue for the past 90 minutes??

yeah we won and won with ease.

lets all abuse risser

yeah.

Kennedy was brilliant, Ferry was involved in a lot of our success going forward, Risser was terrible. I was thinking he might be coming good, but on today's showing that seems optimistic.

Not going to let anything put a downer on that result though - fantastic effort, even if Hudds had made a bunch of changes. Good attacking play, brilliant defence in the second half, and top support from the crowd by the sounds of it.

PAOLOOOO DI CAAAANIOOOOO...

gutted my feed has now gone to ITV HD. wanted to hear what they said after

Cannot believe that I fell asleep and missed the game. I just read the entire thread and feel very proud to be a town fan, what a result! 

Amazing result. Confirms our quality, if that was needed. Yeah, thanks to whoever posted the links..!

thats what i read whenever you speak. complete bollox

Only saw last 5 mins of 1st half and all of second half. Risser's distribution was cack, but thought he broke up their play well. Thought Esajas show some appalling touches at times...but good ball in to kerrouche when it counted.

Ferry, Flint and Kennedy were awesome.

What a perfect day, 3 day old daughter snoozing and with her dad on the settee watching the Swindon game on the t'internet, if Carlsberg did Saturday afternoons and all that :)

I wish I would have beeen there but the wife would have battered me, least Uncle Alex and my Dad went

You Reds !!!   :beers:

Kennedy coped fantastically defensively, I just wish he wouldn't hoof the ball so much. He's a young Jamie Vincent.

In other news...

Fleetwood 2-0 Wycombe
Sheff U 3-0 Oxford
Tranmere 0-1 Cheltenham

and our local team here drawing 3.3 with Plymouth

Whoa...fantastic result!  I'm going to enjoy reading this thread later - and can't wait for Match of the Day!

Probably only something like the 3rd or 4th Cup upset we have managed in the 21 years I've been a fan.  Well done lads, and well done Paolo!  Proud of you all tonight.

sorry you cant read - give a fuck, I dont.

Which part of 'we won' was complete 'bollox'?

nothing. just what you write i find complete bollox. over 22k posts of complete bollox to be fair

I thought:

- Foderingham was excellent. Really hope we can sign him.
- Kennedy coped well with their winger. Got caught out of position a couple of times but was bailed out by Flint
- Flint & McCormack were rock solid and probably the best pairing in defence I have seen for us for a while.
- Caddis was solid and lively, without ever producing a killer ball
- Risser looked slow
- Ferry was solid and didn't do anything spectacular until bursting through to set up Esajes for the cross for Kerooooosh's goal.
- Gabilondo was for me very disappointing. Thought he could have been taken off in the first half.
- De Vita has some great touches and gets in some very good positions. When running with the ball though he seems to always try to set things up on this right foot and shows too much of the ball to the defenders
- Esajas was a little disappointing too. Did nothing other than barge the goalkeeper out of the way for Ferry's goal and bundle over Cadamatteri (Oh yes, a good piece of vision and good cross for Keroooosh's goal
- Kerrouche has got to be the new Chalky White! Looks clumsy and unorthodox but what an impact!
- Connell tried hard without being threatening
- Ritchie ran around a lot
- Smith wasn't on long enough to judge

Sorry to disappoint, but highlights are on tomorrow morning

Could pick many MoTM but Kennedy for me. For somebody to watch from the sidelines (Ridehalgh taking his place), he did fantastically well and PdC now has a selection headache, which is great!!

He showed class and had probably the best game of his career!!

so we didnt win?

Haha we win 4-1 and you lot are arguing.

I said we won - your saying thats complete bollocks but we won?

Christ, you're a dick...

Ignore.

thats complete bollox!

They're on tomorrow night aren't they? I'm sure I heard on here we are getting extended highlights.

No we're not

Wow, that looks like a pretty poor performance apart from the keeper and CB's...how did we win 4-1? ???

My mistake, 10.45pm tomorrow!

Wouldn't want to read your post match thoughts after a loss!!

F**k me. Are you serious??

Great result ...text alerts came through thick and fast!

No proper highlights show then. ITV really are a pile of shite.

Great ain't it, them unlikable money grabbing fuckers in the top league ain't playing and there's no results show at 4.45ish on BBC or ITV. Wonderful >:(

They don't deserve to show sport of any kind  :no:

Yes. I think that the reason that we won the game was that we were very solid at the back and in midfield. We snuffed out any threat they posed and hit them on the break.

I thought it was a very, very good performance....but, it was a team performance with everyone doing their jobs.

I would struggle to pick a MoM from that - Not because people played poorly, but because noone really stood out head and shoulders above the rest.

Just in from sunny Bournemuff. Cracking result, can't believe some of the comments on here. I think we needed this result to firmly cement the view that we are a team (and club) on the move. Well Done Lads.

After watching that, my take.

Foderingham, excellent all round, please sign him, had no chance with the goal.
Caddis, calm collected didnt put many feet wrong all game, solid defending and good attacking.
Kennedy, MoM for me, very very good defending with only a couple of minus points like his freekick.
Flint, towering and really solid and a great goal.
McCormack, reminds me a lot of Calderwood, hardly put a foot wrong all game.
Ferry, 2nd in the MoM stakes, passed well and ran around a lot, dependable and a good goal.
Risser, sorry but I thought he was awful, falling at any contact and well off the pace.
Gabilondo, had a few runs, some poor passing and not a good game from him.
Ritchie, solid as always but please dont just shoot when you see the goal, you are better than that.
Connell, had poor service 1st half, looked good at leading the line but didnt take the chance he had.
De Vita, not bad, quite good skills and a good goal, prefer him as a winger though.
Smith, not on the field long enough to make an impact.
Kerrouche, ungainly but a real striker ala Steve White, could be a star for us.
Esejas, good pace, tries too many flicks when he shouldnt, but looked better than Gabilondo.

Overall, we didnt really get out of 2nd gear and still turned over a good side, very very pleased with that, glad they took off thier 2 best players in Roberts and McDermott.

Please a good draw next round.

Well chuffed with that!

ITV Bastads...was looking forward to watching our demolition job of 'Udders...great performance against a decent side 4-1 was brilliant, job done, next round, next week #STFC

What you been to see? Forgot to ask the other day?

Basically a fantastic team performance today, well chuffed for us and the players

What a great game!

We started quite brightly but then Huddersfield started to take hold and scored from a quality strike which being hyper-critical the defence backed off a little bit too much to allow the striker to turn and shoot.

I feared the worse.

But what a response. We were the team that came back at Huddersfield. I wouldn't say we pummelled them or anything like it, but we were the team on top. And we scored. And we scored a good goal again. 2-1. Fodderingham brilliantly turned over a good shot but in truth the Huddersfield striker should have done better from the position and the space he was in. Half time.

And so I waited for the inevitable second half onslaught, and as you'd expect Huddersfield started to dominate posession. But they didn't really threaten goal with it. And the longer it went on the more space we had on the counter. And what a third killer goal it was. Ferry raced some distance into the Huddersfield half, looked to have overrun it but toe poked it out wide to Esejas whose perfect cross landed at Kerouche's feet and he tapped/scuffed it in. Doesn't sound like much but the speed of defence to attack was amazing.

The forth goal was the icing on the cake, Ferry shooting straight at the keeper but it was too hot to handle. When the rebound came he had the presence of mind and calmness to sidestep left and place it in.

I'm struggling to remember a Huddersfield shot of any anger at our goal.

Kennedy was my man of the match, though I wouldn't disagree with Ferry getting it either. Flint became better and better as the game went on. McCormack was superb again. In fact the only player perhaps slightly below par was Gabby, but it didn't matter.

I also thought Connell lead the line very well, holding up play and trying to bring in others. But other fans around me and at half time seemed less impressed. Oh how we all see different things.

 Lastly, nice touch giving Ward a good reception. Was it me or did it look like he'd been on the pies?

Anyway we were fantastic, just fantastic.



To be fair you are the first team in six to score past Foddringham. That's not bad going ;)

I don't get the Risser hatred. Yes, he's not the most gifted player, but he wasn't that bad. Did a job today.

Someone said he was blowing out of his arse as well. Not true, was still getting around the pitch well at the end.

Enjoyed that...a lot.

Great stuff.

Can't be arsed to do a match report, but we outplayed them and the scoreline by no means flattered us.

We're gonna win the fucking cup!

Just went to a bike/tri expo at the BIC with Mrs B. Afterwards walked through the gardens into town, had lunch, looked for some chrimbo pressies and back home to Chi.

Oh and i'd bet my left bollock there was more than 5,700 there today.
There must've been atleast 7,000 there, surely?

On the box it looked more like 7 than 5 and a bit.

Oh yeah, how fucking arrogant was Novak after he scored the goal?! Would love to see the silly twats face right now.

Arkells looked a bit sparse, not many in the Town End and the wings of the Don Rogers Stand were near enough empty. I would have guessed around 6,000

What happened?

He thought he was Cantona after he scored, did the 'look at me' pose. Twat.

I could do a roaring trade in DVD's of this one I think

Hope you had a good day Bewster

Hahahahaha, anyone would think we 'scraped' a 4-1 win: http://www.htafc.com/page/MatchReport/0,,10312~61256,00.html

Too much expectation, with 40 caps for his country i think many people thought he would come in and boss the midfield. Too me he seems really slow and his passing is often poor but if he had come from non league the hatred would not be there

Silenced the critics with that performance I'll tell you what! Couldnt be happier after that performance  :clap: Outshined a team so say 42 games unbeaten, making this season look even more optimistic now

Note to Town End; "You're only here to watch the Town" works less well when the other team have Town in their name too :)

Haha

I thought the Town End were superb today, well done all!

I was thinking that while they were singing it!

PS I thought the sound, certainly on TV was brilliant today, great backing of the team.

42 league games, they have been beaten in the JPT and League cup in that time, they just aint a cup team! :)

Still a fantastic result though!

Waiting for Lee Clarke to come out and say 'We weren't interested today' or 'The league is our priority', and judging from their report it seems that's likely to be the case!

What was the TV coverage like? Any place to watch some highlights...would like to see if I got my face on telly  :D useless ITV not on until 11.05am 2mro I've seen!!!

http://www.htafc.com/page/PostMatchComments/0,,10312~2514195,00.html

The last line of this interview is what I appreciate!

That McCombe looked like a car crash waiting to happen, Glad we had our own man mountain to show him how real defenders should defend

I agree. Lots of empty seats around me in the DRS (SB end), but more there than the Wimbledon game. So yes, the attendance was correct!

Enjoyed that allot. It was my daughter's birthday and she was pleased they announced her age as 12 instead of 10!

Watched this in an Irish pub in Manc with tp2002, but we fully deserved the win today. A few Hudders fans were in the pub and couldn't complain about the result. Surprised by the 4-1 result but we managed to play good football today to deserve it. We played better than last week at Port Vale, and we're still in the hat. I really hope this gives us a good 2nd round draw, but after the initial reaction of a shit draw against huddersfield - bring it on. I fancy our chances, plus oxford are out!

A good afternoon watching the Town. What a difference it makes to last season when watching Town felt like having a second job.
That was a very well deserved win. The second and third goals were very good and the other two weren't too shabby either.
My MOM would have gone to McCormack followed by Flint but its a good sign when there are a number of candidates.
Thats the third higher league team we've done this season - when was the last time that happenned?
As well as doing a decent team 4-1, I think there is still a lot of improvement to be had in this team / squad. 

Careful now, only the turd side of Oxford are out. Oxford City are still in the hat.

Hi everyone.....just back and though very tiddly i have to say it.
Been watching us for a long time now as i keep reminding you but for me this match will be up there as one of those.eThe performance by all players was simply outstanding...young Kennedy was brilliant....Caddis and Flint immense :nod:
I cannot say how much i enjoyed that performance....it was that good.

But for me Mcormack was my man of the match..........everywhere and inspired others.........very proud tonight and i am in Paolo heaven.........have a great weekend all...........and UP THE TOWN :D

Ha ha You're worse than the city, worse than...etc

Pretty over the moon myself

Good performance but let's not pretend this is the same team that's doing so well in L1. Many regulars weren't even on the bench. Still you can only beat what's put in front of you so keep it going.

Enjoying the Hudds forum this evening...

Perhaps their first team would have given us more of a game.

We were missing a few ourself, but I suppose its true to say the spine of our team played.

True, but we started without Kerrouche, Magera, Ridehalgh, Devera, and J Smith, who have all played a decent part in our unbeaten run.

But the turd side are still the turd side. It only makes it realistic to see City still there - after past experience in the cup. I feel as though we need a cup run, i realise we're still in the JPT, but a decent FA cup run can only put a couple hundred more on the gate. Get a decent draw and it can only be beneficial for us.

The huddersfield fans were only complimentary about our performance, the second half we expected huddersfield to come out and attack us. But Alan Lee is shit, and we managed to control their attacks. As Ferry broke, for the third, it reminded me of our Ward's goal in the Play Offs - after that easy-town.

Said this to my old man on the way out. No way on earth was there 5,700 there. The DRS was pretty full.

About 7,500 i'd say.

You on drugs.......we pissed on a team that had alot of quality players....name me the players they had missing bar Rhodes?

We had players out..............fuck me one of our greatest results in latest years and you are bemoaning the lack of there players :no:

Quite right leefer, loved that performance, very assured against a top side and a pretty good atmosphere to boot. Start of a great weekend, cheers!!

Best town performance for a long time! Everyone played quality apart from Esajas who I really rated until today.

Well this miserable,grumpy,moaner is well happy with that today. Great win against a side with very good form.
I cringed reading some of the comments in this thread to be honest.Some clueless idiots shouting too loudly.
No wonder this site is dead.

Best bit of the day was the Huddersfield fan that works in William Hill laughing at me betting on Swindon. I rather enjoyed collecting my £20 winnings. Smug.

Improve it then, you're needed

Great turn of phrase...couldn't have put it better 8)

All of my misgivings about Di Canio - as a football manager at least - have been proved very wrong.

It's very apparent that he's learning with every match and with every player he signs but he's assembled a proper team and not a squad of players; motivated and passionate about playing for the club.

We seem to be getting better with every game.

 
 ???...played well,so why dont you rate him after today?

Yeah, let's not get carried away and enjoy the moment...heaven forbid  ::)...and while we're at it, I'm fairly certain that wasn't our first choice starting line up today either.

Jesus wept.

So what did people who went think about our returning to tradition with the red shirts/white shorts/red socks combo? :hmmm:

I liked it. Very nostalgic.

It was great to see the red and white LIke the good old days

I loved having White shorts today, brought back great memories of the old Swindon teams and hope we bring back the White shorts

Totally agree

Loved it. Change the sponsor and I'd be very happy with that kit.

I'd be very happy right now to be sponsored by SuggsWillSuggs.  Permanently.

I'd forgotten about it until I saw the pictures on the OS. Got to say though, I liked it. That's our proper colours  8)

Oh and I wonder how Gary Rose felt about today's game :D

Some interesting points of view from the oppo...

Simon Ferry has his own thread ???

As always I enjoy reading the match day threads. The lads played well today but I wanted to post two words:

Aiden Flint.

What a f**king performance. At 2-1 he just went from strength to strength. Udder's are a big bullying, physical side who can also play abit, but up comes Flint and gave it back to them.
Sure the back line were immense as was everyone but Flint was MOM by a mile.

This.  The stability and fitness levels are really beginning to tell.  If we can keep this up, I see no reason why we can't win League 2.

I thought we were brilliant today and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.  We played some excellent football at times and as previously mentioned, there were a number of players who could have got the MOM.  That's always a sign of a strong team.

Having gone one down, it was great to see us turn it round so quickly.  Even when Huddersfield were dead and buried, we were still pushing on and it felt like we could have stepped up another gear if needed.

Danny Ward certainly looked more rotund than I remembered, but deserved the reception he got.  I wonder if he'll ever recapture the form we saw again?

I've always thought Lee Clarke is a bit of a twat, but his comnents after the game gave us loads of credit - fair play.

Very happy tonight, although ITV have done their best to dampen it with their lack of highlights.  Why do they bother even bidding for the rights?

Most Exellent.

Anyone record the live stream so we can relive this magnificent triumph?

Had a look on a few Uderrsfield forums and it doesn't surprise me too much that hardly any of them give us any sort of credit for today's win. They put most of it down to their seven ? Changes and lack of commitment.
Very proud again tonight to be a Town fan.

Doesn't suprise me Notts!!!As long as we all know the score that's what matters so  :smugfu: to them  :D

40 caps for Namibia hardly had me drooling, Risser deserved his place in today's starting eleven after Tuesday night. He isn't the quickest but he still looked as though he had running in him right to the end today. Some fans haven't taken to him for whatever reason but like it or not he has played a big part in our last two wins. I personally would have Smith starting in the centre with Si but that isnt because Risser isn't good enough for us.

I had a read of downatthemac.com last night and as others have said, no credit at all.

Comments like "Wendies and Charlton will tear us a new arsehole if we can't even beat fucking Swindon".

"We made Swindon look good".

"Embarrassing".

According to them, we're merely tiny minnows compared to the massive club that is 'uddersfield.

Sunday morning & I'm still on a high. Read the match synopsis & agree with what's been said. That was the best TEAM performance for a long while. Not the best football, not the most classical of displays but everyone gave their all.  I feared the worst when Huddersfield scored & Novak did his 'great I am' pose.  But the team grew in stature & upped their efforts and what a result.

Personally I thought there were 11 man of the match performances and 7 changes or not, Huddersfield were still a good test for us. A test that we rose to, met head on & overcame. Some of the Huddersfield forums were amusing, undecided whether to adopt the 'glad we're out of the cup ' line or 'We were shite today'.  I was surprised that Lee Clarke isn't that popular with some fans - 42 league games unbeaten & some still doubt him!!!

Still yesterday was about us - great to see the team in Red shirts & white shorts again & the fans in fine voice supporting us as we turn over a team from a higher division in the cup. Who said nostalgia isn't what it was?  Shame it went unnoticed by ITV but cup upsets only refer to non-league teams beating league opposition apparently . Long drive back last night but well worth it after that performance

Well what can I say! Very well done Swindon Town. I did see the match although I wasn't actually at the game, I picked up a wonderful HD link on the internet. Brilliant!

How I saw it was, your lads started very brightly but we gradually got a grip and started to create. When we went a goal ahead I thought 'that's it!' we'll now play the patient game that's served us so well this year. But none of it, you harried us, chased everything and made it count by scoring two super goals.

In the second half we gave you a good game and could have drawn level or better but once again your lads stood firm and were up to the task. I thought you ran out very worthy winners in the end. I'm not going to make the excuse that we made seven changes and I'm not going to say we played that badly either, I just thought Swindon Town played very very well! You just wanted it more than us and great credit has to be given for the manner in which your lads applied themselves, full of desire and the will to win. You can feel justifiably proud of them! Well done!

Regards until next time, which on that evidence will be soon!

AceT (HTFC)

Nice to see The People have improved their reporting on us.

Picture of De Vita in the report and it says .... New Swindon star Mehdi Kerrouche celebrates.

Fair play acetripper

Highlights now on ITV website.

http://www.itv.com/sport/football/facup/matchhighlights/2011-12firstroundhighlights/

Acetripper, thanks for that.  I respect HTFC because of the way that they have bounced back from last years disappointment.  If only we had done the same after we lost to Millwall at Wembley.  The funny thing is, relegation is probably the best thing that could have happened to us.  Had we stayed up we would never have taken a punt on Di Canio who I think is the best thing to happen to this club since Glenn Hoddle.  These are certainly exciting times for both of our clubs.

The People also say we got Kerrouche from the Oman 2nd Division.

I thought it was the United Arab Emirites myself.

Makes me think they're deliberatley making mistakes to piss us off.

Watching the goals again on the ITV website, all 4 are great goals, Kerroche's is my favourite because of Ferry's run, memories of Home v Charlton in the play offs.  Somehow I don't think Ritchie will be the only player attracting scouts these days.

In all honesty I'm surprised that it looked like this from the TV feed. From my completely biased view from the stands you had a reasonable amount of possession in the second half but rather than looking like draw level to me you posed no real threat whatsoever.

Splitting hairs really. Good luck with the rest of the season.

PS. What have you done to break Danny Ward?!

I don't think he's recovered from the hernia whilst at Coventry at the start of last season.

Basking in the glow of yesterdays fully deserved tremendous win. Nice sunday morning reading through this thread, just one comment to add from me and that's about Risser.
Agree he started badly but I thought he improved as the game went on and played/fought his way back into it and didn't look out of place by the end, also he has been injured and is short of match fitness. Glad to see he clearly has the Towns cause at heart.
It's dissapointing that after the effort all the lads put in that some fans still find the need to moan, but that's their entitlement I suppose. ::)

Was it part of some sort of sponsorship arrangement with a cinema chain that we started with Thompson and Thompson on the bench?

A major plus for me is that the fringe players have stepped in and cut the mustard.  Esajas, Kennedy, Risser and Connell all put good shifts in plus we have Jervis, Devera, Magera and Ridealgh to come back too.  The squad is looking really strong and this will be crucial.

Just looked at those highlights. Was Kerrouche offside for the 3rd?

Cannot believe we are in the draw for the next round.
For me the good thing was i really dont think Huddersfield played to bad at times,was just that we played with discipline and belief.
Also lets not under estimate how much a good cup run will help us financially......it will be a good Sunday.

Possibly, and it was definately a foul on the keeper by Easyjet for the 4th but the ref gave them and thats all that matters!

I thought Udders didnt play too badly to be fair, they worked well and have a few good players, McDermott and Roberts especially played quite well, they are just not brilliant at the back and needed a good striker and the game could have gone either way, but it didnt  and thats all conjecture and we are in the bag for the next round, happy days!

No, although I did wonder yesterday. You can pause the video just as Easyjet passes the ball with Kerrouche in picture, he's level.

 What a good week it has been....we've had to wait a while, but let's enjoy it while we can...

Totally agree with Leefer, I thought 2-1 at half-time flattered us a bit and we were at times hanging on, but the second half was awesome, we never let them settle, hassled and harried at every opportunity and took our chances when they came along.  Udders only really had two chances all game, took one and Wes made a good save from the second, we created six good chances (twice the ball was fizzed across just out of reach of an incoming player) and took four of them.  Nice to see Kerrouche, Easyjet and Risser stay out on the pitch shaking the hands of the disabled supporters at the end, nice touch that and appreciated by those who stayed behind to applaud them.

Agree,just feel that he is struggling to come to terms with the pace,he reminds me of Migz.....looks really good at times and others very poor.
Wasn't great yesterday but lets not forget the good stuff in his locker...ie the two thunderbolts he has scored this season.

Reminds you of Migz?! Miglioranzi was fantastic player who could make time for himself and pass the ball with flair and accuracy... Risser can do none of this. He reminds me more of Matt Hewlett, but slower and marginally better in the air mainly due to a height advantage.

Risser has played less than eight matches for us.....people like yourself only look at the bad...he was instrumental in us beating Wimbledon.....he has a good shot like Migz and i feel he will be a better player with time on the ball which he wont get in lge 2.
Also believe me i saw Migz have some right stinkers......good player when he was fit....like Risser will be.
Was only a few matches back that everyone except me was shouting De Vita down.....give the bloke a chance he has only been here five mins.
How can you judge a player who has played around 6 odd games......granted he was poor yesterday but so was Ritchie in my eyes but no one slags him.

Ha ha hadn't noticed that before but that was a great foul by Easyjet!

See, he scored a decent goal against the Dons, but for the most part i thought the game passed him by and he seemed to avoid the ball or mark the ref (like Pook used to do). It's strange how people see aspects of every game differently. Apart from his two goals, I don't think he's looked worthy of a place in the team ahead of Ferry, Smith, McCormack or even Timlin if we had him back. I know 6 games isn't much, but you have to 'judge' on something, and that's just what I've done.

FWIW i think Ritchie has been nowhere near our expectations this season, aside from a couple of nice strikes. He's not had the impact we'd all hoped for, and not just because sometimes he's pinpointed as a threat.

From the 'Udders forum:


or


I know we made changes yesterday as well but all I'm saying is we met a team who possibly aren't as familiar as playing together as our lot.  Still it was a great result.

It was the Omani league, Al-Oruba is in Oran, something which wasn't picked up on at all when we signed him. Probably due to the obscurity.

I noticed the Beeb commentary of the Wimbledon JPT game was all over the shop too. For example Ritchie was referred to as Caddis.

From some young bird off twitter.


Swindon win 3 times in a week...Oxford lose 3 times in a week. I didn't know Carlsberg was in charge of the football this week

Just a little bit brilliant :)

Wasnt it not you (it might not have been in fairness) that had written him off a few weeks ago claiming he'd had enough game time and proved he wasnt good enough.

Myself and Batch with the opposite views, fuck know what thread it was?

I've seen very little of him but I wouldnt compare him to Migz at all. Infact LS's Hewlett comment is more accurate, he's a Hewlett like player but better because only Pook was worse than fucking Hewlett - well maybe Howe to...oh and Prutton....

We made alot of changes ourselves and let's not kid ourselves either,the players they bought in would get into most league 1 teams.Yesterday to me was more than just beating a decent team i think we saw in 90 minutes just what the manager has given this team after a awful begining to the season.

I never write players off...will leave that to others....certainly not after less than a dozen matches.
But hey ho we all have our views so thats fine by me....Risser will come good in my view and as i said his two goals have been pretty special.

My last game was the Brsdford match so yesterday was most welcome. I thought right from the start that the match would be entertaining as League 1 is more open style of play. Lee Clark sounded up for it with his prematch comments but leaving a lot of first teamers out indicated how seriously he really was taking it. No matter with the changes to our team I thought that would make it an open even contest. The only player not to shine was the Spainsh winger. Kennedy had an excellant match as did most of the others. Danny Ward has certainly beefed up since I last saw him and didn`t really get in to the game but my reckoning.

Most enjoyable and deserved win come on the Red Army.

I can see how theyve got it mixed up, i mean both players are white

Danny hasn't started many games because I think he's been carrying an injury to be honest. Plus not being in the team in a settled sense has taken the edge off him. Plus Gary Roberts play so well has made it hard for him! Certainly at the end of last season the lad was on fire but. I think I'm correct in saying he's one for the future, he's still young, he's very skilful and he needs to develop his whole game further.

So, far from 'breaking' Danny Ward the lad's at a transition stage and he's having to learn new things. I'm convinced he will! He's young, he's eager to learn and he will improve himself. I reckon in two years time Danny Ward will be looking to progress to a much higher level - I only hope it's with us!

AceT(HTFC)

He's definitely got enough to be a top league one player. A future talent for a higher division maybe, but he needs regular games to fulfill that in my opinion.

Another upshot from yesterday's win is that I assume Liam Ridehalgh will now be able to play for Swindon Town in the FA Cup.

Wonder how Ridehalgh must be feeling today?! Did enjoy the "you should have signed for the Swindon" chants to Danny Ward!!

A banterous rendition of Liam what's the score? this weekend then surely?

Eh what, did we?

I think I disagreed with Arriba in that I didn't think some players had played enough to be judged. Can't remember what else though.

On Risser, I thought he was steady on Tuesday, grew into the game yesterday, but has not done enough to force his way into the starting 11,

And the difference between Migs and Risser is that a fit Migs proved himself at a much higher level and was a class aboved. Not seen that from Risser at division 4 level yet.

i'm not going to write him off but rissed did nothing yesterday to change the opinion i have formed of him in the games i've seen him in so far.

yesterday he was close to making many challenges and somehow failed to win the ball, when he did win it he was mostly too slow to retain the possession he'd just won and gave it away.

he looks as though he's just not athletic enough and maybe his brain is working faster than his body can.  in my opinion smith needed to come on 20 minutes earlier than he did and risser should have been the one to make way.

those 'nearly' challenges would have been actual challenges if it were smith making them.

like i say, i want him to come good because i'm not one of those fans who feels like he has to hate one of our players so there's someone to blame things on but from what i have seen he isn't good enough at the moment and that is in no small part down to smith simply being better than him.

Yesterdays game was fantastic. Best cup performance Ive seen from Swindon for years. Shame the crowd was a bit down, but the ones that were there really responded to the display.

I think there were plenty more who watched in pubs and on streams. Fingers crossed for 1000 more on our average next home game.

That attendance seemed well light based on what I could see from my DRS seat. The numbers seemed to be well up on Tuesday, more than 1000 more. But people say the TV showed the wings of the DRS were quite sparse so I guess that explains it. Bit disappointing.

 

It kind of hits home why some prem teams have really shite away followings when they can get every 3o'clock saturday game streamed for free in their local boozer.

The attendance was a bit strange, would have thought that a high flying club from the league above would have been a big draw, especially one that scores a few goals. If I hadn't already planned on Aldershot at the end of the month I would have been up like a shot, must confess tho that as planning went I completely forgot about the FA Cup   :-[

Besides I had to be at home to record it  ;)

Id estimate the Town End had around half the usual number for a league game in there, and the wings of the DRS were very sparse.

The atmosphere is often better when you have a few less in the ground, especially in the 'sitting areas'. I guess people are a bit less worried about shouting in someones ear if there is a bit more space. Would love to see us open the Stratton Bank to home fans, even if there was only 300 on there it would change the whole dynamic of the ground.

Yeah I was one of the people who stayed at home and watched on the internet. It was a choice between yesterday's game or the JPT and given I was going out on Tuesday anyway, made sense to do that game.

Course not...as i keep saying he has only been here 6 odd matches!!!!!!!!!
Migz was shocking in his first season with us....due to lack of fitness and injuries and like Risser many fans didn't rate him at that time....hence my camparrison.

Agreed,remember him in that cup match at Leeds and he oozed class,all i am saying is that it took time and patience before we saw the best of him,and how about giving Risser the same time at least...he has played nine scoring two.
This time next season would be a better time to judge....Paolo has shown that anyone not good enough wont play so he must see something in him that maybe us fans havn't yet.

We had the same view which was the opposite view of Leefer who said all our players had, had ample game time.


Migz played 45 out of the 51 games we played in his first season here. His best season injury wise.

The goals are available on the itv website.

Our match report of the 4-1 victory is now up....

http://thewashbag.com/2011/11/14/the-fa-cup-swindon-put-the-terriers-down-and-out/

I went up to the game with my folks, took the opportunity to treat them to a Swindon game for my Dad's birthday.  I had a good feeling going into the game as the last time I got them up to the County Ground we demolished Leeds 3-0.

All I can say is that every single Town player done the club proud on Saturday, a terrific team performance and one that made me very proud to be a Swindon fan.  I was also delighted that it showed my folks how well we play football now under PDC.  I am pretty sure they think I talk rubbish when I say how enjoyable it is going to football at the County Ground these days.  The old dear was more interested in watching PDC and saying how much she missed watching John Moncur whilst the old chap was still talking about the game this morning - Jackpot!

Forza Swindon!

Watched the game with Cib from here and a few Hudders fans, 2 of whom were unashamed sex tourists, in Osheas in manchester. Was great to see yet another good performance from us on the Telly, can't remember the last time I saw us play poorly on tv. I'm loving seeing the unity in the team this season after what was clearly a very divided dressing room last season, was just saying to Cib that Flinty should be getting on the end of more set pieces just as the cross came in for the 1st!

I notice ITV had a side swipe at PDC by making reference to Morecombe then saying "and talking of comedians, Paolo Di Canio's swindon town entertained huddersfield at the County Ground..."

I noticed that as well.  What a bunch of cunts ITV are.

So that's why Alessandro Cibocchi wasn't in the squad... Manchester sex tourism!

Better, non ITV, highlights here :

Nice flick on by Risser for the equaliser...

Sadly though not form wise....he admits that himself......anyway my mane gripe is that these fuckwits who are slagging Risser after 9 odd matches......probably the same people who were slagging De Vita after 4 matches.

http://www.itv.com/sport/football/facup/matchhighlights/

Scroll down on the right of the page to find Swindon v Udders.

Nice highlights and the aftermatch Paolo interview.................Love it.

Cheers Duke...that De Vita goal looks a better finish everytime i see it......a FIFA goal on the playstation kind of goal :D

Much better highlights 69, been watching them over and over !

Where does this Mig and Risser comparison come from, they aren't similar players in the slightest. Risser likes a tackle for a start. Pisses me off how we are going great guns and some people still want to single individuals out. Thought we would of stopped all that shit after last season !

Well you thought wrong.

So does Risser start the next game at the expense of Jonathan Smith?

I'd much rather see Smith there instead personally...

Smith has done more to deserve the start than Risser in my eyes.

Nice to have options though.

For me Smith over Risser.....no doubt about it,but when Risser plays he will get my full backing if he puts the shift in.
Scored two crackers and got an assist for the equaliser on Saturday so he hasn't been that bad....not great but not that bad.

But yes i would expect Smith to start on Saturday........but dont bet on it :hmmm: :D

Both (spectacular) goal scoring midfielders, christ I've not said that since Alan Mac played for us... got to be a good sign!

Ill say it again

Risser will come good

Smith must feel unfortunate to have lost his starting place but we are getting results with the way Paolo is shuffling the team about. It could be that Ferry has played so well in the last couple of games because Risser tends to sit deeper which allows him more of a free roll.

Good shout Notts though i reckon Smith will be back on Saturday.

Not convinced Risser got the flick on, and if he did it would technically mean Flint was offside. I thought it was the defender. Not that it really matters...

I'd have Smith back in because he's played well lately. That's not to say Risser won't come good though.

I would also start with Smith but Paolo does seem more than happy with Risser starting of late and seems to give him plenty of opportunities . Will be even more interesting to see who we start up front with ?

 looked like Risser did get the flick on and that Flint was Actually off side, if you look at Risser's reaction after it went in it would suggest he did get a touch on it. Some say Kerrouche looked off side too ?

Alan Mac does play for us and what a centre half he's turning out to be  :D

Smith over Risser anyday for me...Jonny Smith is the signing of the season so far for me and so far the 30k we paid for him looks a bargain!

So let me get this straight:

Flint's goal = offside
De Vita's goal = stands
Kerrouche's goal = offside
Ferry's Goal = foul on keeper by Esajas

Can't be right. We just don't get that kind of luck in one game.

We don't get that kind of luck in a whole season

Kerrouche's wasnt offside certainly, they did a side on view on Setanta and he was level.

No surprise that the following games are the TV Picks for round 2:

Fri 2 December 7.30pm – Fleetwood Town v Yeovil Town - ESPN
Sun 4 December 12.30pm – AFC Totton v Bristol Rovers – ITV1
Sun 4 December 5.00pm – Sutton United v Notts County - ESPN

Nope pretty much as expected, I can also see Yeovil and Wovers being booted out of the cup.

I dont think Flint is offside either....

Well I'm not 100% sure if he's offside right now at this moment in time, but  think he was offside when the flick on came despite the fact her curved his run. happened far too quickly with the flick on for the linesman to pick up on it and I'm definately not complaining.

What is it about footy that makes people completely forget the rules of the English language....

Didn't see that one as well as the Kerrouche one, must have been tight but he was moving fast.

Pretty sure Flint was in an offside position, but you can't expect the linesman to see who got a flick on when it happens that fast. Kerrouche was onside. Esajas quite clearly fouled their keeper.

Just reliving the recording that I've converted to DVD, pretty good quality even if I do say so myself

Uploading t'internet?

Could you burn an extra copy for me Mr Stfcinbmth if I give you the money for the DVD an postage etc?

Fuck 1-0 down Novak

Keep the faith.

If you could both PM me your addies in a nice neat format so I can copy and paste it. Alternatively let me know if your competent with an FTP proggy?

I don't think he was also. A Hudders defender was level with him, right behind him.

Ooooh, FTP details please :)

Any chance of adding me to the FTP list ta?!

Up from the damps 20 stories high ...Filezilla (sorry the always happens when I FTP)

FTP sounds good

Another one here who would like the details. Cheers  :clap:

eff tee pee for me too please

To save stfcinbmth's internet connection from maxing out from all these FTP requests, I'll upload it somewhere once I've downloaded it from him.

Top man!  :beers:

Start a torrent on thepiratebay and give it a real obscure title and description (so the Football League torrent police won't spot it). Then email the link to anyone that wants to download it, rather than posting it here.

What ever happened to the play off DVDs Si Pie was doing?

Great idea Sam, been a good few years since I last made a torrent download, so thanks. Will jump on it and help seed

I don't use torrents, sorry peeps.

Got the wrong end of the stick there  :-[

If I can compress the file below 2GB then I'll stick it in my Dropbox.

Should be possible as .mkv.

Cheers for the download stfcinbmth, even if the first 58 seconds of the match are missing ;)

Down to my bad memory :hmmm:

Hopefully next time we are on the box somewhere we can get this going again, and I'll try not to miss the first minute

Hopefully you'll have a better internet connection by then as well ;)

Fingers crossed for March Sam

Ok, I've sorted out FTP access on my NAS, so if anyone wants the file from me let me know. Will have to schedule in people one at a time though.

It's 2.5GB, but my upload is 8mb/s so shouldn't take too long.

bagsy

Showoff

Yes please Samdy.

Yes please!

I should point out that you need to know what FTP is and how to use an FTP client if you want to download from me.

Which is why I haven't asked yet.  I have no idea what you are talking out.  So I'll just settle for the memories...
