So I haven't gone out tonight as oceana has a shitty man for Geordie Shore appearing and will be shit,

However I am half cut after a few jars at the pub.

This game I think will be tough.

1-1 with maybe us sneaking it on pens.

Austin is bound to score too.

But let's see, might sneak a result, Wembley here we come!

COYR.

3-1 (Ritchie, Miller and Benson) 6'676 with 204 from Burnley

3-2 to us AET. Austin will score two for them, no idea who will score for us.

Crowd of 7152, 200 odd Burnley.

I'm having a couple of quid on Austin to score first and us to win 2-1.

I don't like it, Burnley fans are taking us as a serious threat. Lets hope the team itself underestimates us then.

Coke, A Rooney and Ward cup tied/unavailable.

2 -1 Burnley.

3-0 Burnley

Austin hattrick

Hopefully,our good form will continue and a 2-1 win.Troy and Williams

The only thing that gives me hope is SWS's apparent return to form.

3-2

2-1 defeat.

Think it will go to pens.

1-1 in normal time, roberts for us and austin for them.

2-2 AET, us on pens.

Can't see us winning this one and Austin to score a couple.

We should respect but not fear them. Glass half full for me, it'll be close but we'll sneak though on pens.

3-1 victory & Austin to have a shit game.

Also, I don't like Eddie Howe. I can't explain why, there's just something about him that irritates me.

I've got a bad feeling about this. 2-1 defeat.

(Probably with Austin scoring lots!)

Can't make it tonight, but I think we will lose anyway. 0-2, Austin with both.

Hope he gets a decent reception.

1-2 defeat. Missed chances cost us a place in the 4th round.

 Bit worried SSWS is only half cut, things like that could result in him losing his MBE!

Burnley 3 Swindon 1

2-2

Lose on pens

Charlie should be up for this but I expect a Town victory as Burnley worry about current league postion. Looking forward to seeing Austin playing at County Ground....3-2....

I reckon we will sneak through 2 - 1 after going behind, I cant make tonight so will have to make do with listening to the commentary.

Ditto on hoping Austin doesn't get too much shit from the fans tonight, wishful thinking though.

If we play like we did in the first two rounds we should win.

3-2, with Austin scoring their goals (oviously!).

Fairly poor tickets sales so far, based on the online tickety thing. I guess there'll be a large number who pay on the gate tonight.

I'm going with my Burnley-supporting stepdad. We'll be sat in the DRS if you want to give him some stick!

2-1 Defeat for me with Austin scoring 2 and celebrating in front of the town end to cause a thisis meltdown and twitter death threat surge that'll make Mark Halsey feel better

I think they're an average Championship team, Austin will inevitably score but I think we can win this one.

Austin 6-1 to score first goal on bet365.  Good insurance bet.

2/1 Austin to score at anytime with Coral, easy double up

I've lost my betting slip though, silly cunt

It will finish 2-2, go to pens, Charlie will take the 10th one to level the scores and take it to sudden death when the very first known instance of a bobble on a penalty spot occurs and he slices it wide to send us through.

I just hope our strikers are angry enough tonight!

2-0 to Town, Austin missing a penalty. Hoping for a good evening with an early start on the Stowford in Old Road tavern in 'Nam.

Goal fest tonight, 5-4. Don't care how many Austin scores it won't matter!

I think we can win this one, I'll say 2-1 in front of 6829 with goals from Austin (2x og's) and Austin scoring for them...inevitably getting his hat trick.

I'm a bit mixed about the whole Austin thing, a great player in a short space of time but an absolute cunt the way the latter end of his Town career ended. I think I'll stay quiet in that I won't boo but I won't cheer. (He may get a clap)

Looks lie they'll be fielding a weakened side:

http://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/football/burnley-fc/eddie-howe-confident-of-capital-one-cup-progress-1-4956862

folk with less decorum than myself might suggest that if the rumours are accurate he may get the clap

2-1 Burnley

Was he the one wearing a Burnley shirt in the DRS on Saturday? Wondered what that was all about!

I don't suppose that any random middle eastern country has decided to show the game and there is a stream floating about?

I think Austin may just start on the bench tonight for Burnley which would be good for the defence..  I reckon we'll win 2-1 Ferry & Collins Austin to get a late consolation for them, whats the weather forecast for Swindon tonight, is it going to chuck it down???

Nope sorry, was keeping my fingers crossed myself

I have been trawling all the sites this afternoon so far to no avail.

I think

2-1 Ferry & Ritchie for us, Austin for them

not got a clue on attendance but at least 2 less than normal as my and my boy aren't going

I recon 7k will be a good figure tonight, I doubt Burnley will bring more than 400 to 500.

We're due rain but it's dry at the moment.

Going to be a shit journey down for any Burnley fans with all the rain.

For those that do - keep safe

Ah well, was worth a try!

Should have just text me JJ, saved a wasted afternoon ;)

Or bookmark this

http://liveonsat.com/ljs___foot_b_ex_E-P-L__.php

If we don't lose or draw we may win

I was bored mate so I checked web sites from all over the world :) kept me busy! still not found any though so thats a big no no unfortunately.

i'm gonna boo the shit out of Austin

Town: Foderingham; N Thompson, McCormack, Archibald-Henville, McEveley; Ritchie, Miller, Navarro, Roberts; Benson, Williams #STFC

#STFC subs: Bedwell(GK), Ferry, Flint, Bessone, Collins, De Vita, Bostock

And Austin starts for them..


My pizza has been ordered. happy days.

Would have liked to see Ferry start but lets get at them from the off and give them a run for their money.

I'm from Burnley, I've wanted a Swindon v Burnley game for ages obviously because all my mates support Burnley, last time we played them I was 2 so I didn't go to that! And I couldn't go tonight because it was my 2nd day at Uni in Liverpool today so I'm absolutely gutted!

This link might work.... http://www.usagoals.com/live/204252-swindon-town-vs-burnley/watch/stream/online/free/feed/p2p/en/vivo/tv/gratis/

I see those that PdC had sent to the naughty step are on the bench.

The naughty bench?

COYR

Here we go again with the cr.... a... pp... y... STFC world coverage.... can't believe we pay £40 a year for this shit!!!!!

I have deleted all cookies etc that they suggest as well, but it still just breaks up all the time. The away stream never does - so there must be a Swindon feed problem!!!

I'm going for a 3-2 win for us, Austin getting there goals, Ritchie to score and Benson and Williams.

So, how slow will Player be tonight compared to real time/ twitter?

Looks like a minute at last. We're underway, said Twitter long before the Player-stream kicked off...

Not working for me :(

Mine is currently 30 seconds behind twitter.

Just put it on, who is  co-comm?

All set up at uni to listen to the game.

Come on you reds!

Mr Negative aka Alan Mac

Alan McLoughlin I think.

Hello everybody-peeps!

Cheers. Anyone notice what reception Austin got?

OO aaa Alan Mac

Off the line from Austin

Austin gone close twice already - hopefully this will end up as one of those frustrating days for him

Burnley goal disallowed for offside.

Phew!

Burnley score but it's offside. We don't seem to be having much of the ball right now.

Reckon mine is well over that.

Twitter is so far ahead.

Sounds like they are all over us.

Could be worse . . . could be "laugh a minute"  Steve cunting Claridge.

It does, we sound poor so far.

sjekk innboksen din

Live on bbc wiltshire if anyone cant here.

Is it nearer to real time?

Just checked, is about 20 seconds ahead of Player.

You genius!

BENSON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bennoooo!

Yesssssssssss

Get in bennooooooooooooooooo

Ooooh lovely.

BENSONNN!

Benson makes it 1-0  :D

Get in BENNO!

Ha ha marvellous

He's now just scored on Player!

Woo-hoo!   :clap:

YES!

Get in!!

Going by Sam Morsheads tweets I am exactly 25 seconds behind on Player to his tweeting, and not had a single break in quality or stop in commentary at all so far....touch wood.

Anyone see the Washbag article about Town's win rate when they score first?
I hope it holds true...

Just tweeted that the past 22 games in a row we've scored first we've won...

I cant get Radio Wiltshire for some reason. Having to stick with Player.

Oh yeah

Let's talk about a different fucking match entirely!

Same, wouldn't load for me.

Playing fine for me.

Playing fine on my TuneIn Radio iPhone app.

Same on android

finally got the beeb commentary working - 5 mins left this half

WILLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Williams with the 2nd

Yeees.

Fucking get in

get in Willooooooooo

Willoo!!!

He's on fire!

Fucking yes

Yet again yours truely is stuck in some god forsaken place, this time the IOW and i did find an excellent place to stay. So please, please STFU about player, twatter, BBC radio etc and just report on the game! Off now to find a pub with SSN.

Thank you for your co-operation. COYR!

Completely forgot we were playing tonight. Pleasantly surprised to see we're 2 up.

And player seemed to get that one before Twitter!

....GLAD ALL OVER...YES I'M...GLAD ALL OVER !!!

Evening chaps, greetings from sunny Baltimore. 2-0 and Andy Williams can't stop scoring, happy days.  :clap: :beers:

How ironic that Player works better over here than it does in England  ::)

The man is on a roll! Williams is the new Fjortoft!

Are Palace playing?

Hehehe!

Awesome.

Yes!

Austin has had some chances tonight, what was everybody saying about him being a natural goal scorer...  Thats fate tempted now, get some cash on an Austin Hat-trick

Peeved that if we'd beaten oxford, and we win tonight, we'd have, for the second season in a row, beaten teams from all four divisions.

Brilliant effort tonight though.

Cracking half time scoreline! Glad that Austin is showing he does actually like us by missing a few sitters.

I am fully paid up to STFC player, but I cant get any live pictures

Anybody know how it works ?

Or is it just sound ?
cos I'm getting that

According to Alan Mac if Burnley change from to 4411 to 442 it'll suit the Town and if they stick with 4411 it'll suit the Town!!!

Sounded like they were all over us for much of that half, gave away two chances and we scored two goals.

Not that I'm complaining!

Just sound...

Went to the Ravens v Patriots on Sunday night Donkey, awesome stadium. Mrs Taylor was gutted to see the Patriots lose to a field goal 2 seconds from time. I suspect you may have been somewhat less gutted ;) Great game though.

Sound is all you get for your £3.99 per month I'm afraid.

commentary keeps mentioning Troy A-H tugging at Austin's shirt - we don't want to be conceding a penalty early in 2nd half!

Difference between us and Burnley, we took our chances and Austin didn't.

Burnley are a good passing team with a fair bit of possesion, encouragingly we have not been overawed and have matched them. We finished the half stronger

We could draw Burton or Bradford in the next round - but still another 1/2 to go

Wow!  Now that is awesome.  I was very happy, I think the Ravens could well represent the AFC in the Super Bowl this season.  I just wish my Jets could take advantage of the Pats mistakes...suddenly the AFC East looks quite weak.

By the way, Streets of Baltimore is a cracking song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw2w3XvgNog

Looks like they are bringing in a striker and going 4 4 2

Town Free-Kick just outside the box.

Bloody hell, ref is 28!

Last time I went to get a beer we scored.

Here I go again......

yellow for Austin

I made it 41 seconds then between Sam Morshead tweeting and player telling me Burnley had a corner.

That is ridiculous.

Williams just wide!

Damn

Didn't work that time.

I think the Patriots and Ravens are the two best sides in the AFC to be fair. The Ravens were never actually leading until that last gasp field goal. We're off out after this to the baseball (Oriels v Blue Jays). Next Sunday we're at the Eagles v Giants.

Meanwhile...it sounds like we are on fire at the moment.

Fuck me - I've been turned over

It's not even reliable sound (as many have allready pointed out)

Sat in a hotel in Salzburg, remembered we were playing and switch on player expecting to hear us losing.  Result = Happy days!

What sort of reception did LCharlie get?  Can't believe I gave away my ticket for tonight becuase of being here!

Sound quality is excellent in Salzburg is excellent, better than UK.

You have my permission to tell me to fuck off!

Go and get another one!

Wesley makes a wonder save.

Fods with a great save...

Did he say Berniman then or Burnley man?  Name check!

I think he said boo-urns.

Don't ruin it for me

Crawley beating Swansea. Shame.

Thompson is starting to turn into a right result!

Sounds like we're getting closer and closer again.

Very excellent then

Today's attendance - 7,555

7,555 there.

455 from Burnley. Fair play to them.

So good in fact they named it twice.

So good in fact they named it twice.

fair play to the Town fans as well over 7000 for the League Cup is good

Tweeting it wrong!

Dum dum dum!

Correction to tonight's attendance - 7,353

Thompson and Austin clash heads.

Ouch.

Certainly sounds like Thompson is becoming a shoe in at right back,just a shame that Kennedy didnt kick on

Kennedy was great going forward, just not a good defender.

Whereas Kennedy gets the defending right, and adds to his game by going forward.

Austin scores . . .

















for Leeds (Rodolph)

2-1 Austin  >:(

wanker

SHIT AUSTIN

Ah bollocks

apparently we've conceded.

And I'm blaming you!

Very clever. :badmood:

Still hasn't happened on player...

(He was bound to score)

Fuck.

This is going to be a horrible, horrible quarter of an hour.

I wonder if he celebrated? Wouldn't blame him if he did.

I'll shut the fuck up

So good they named him twice

still 2-0 on player!

Eh?! Still only 2 -0 on my player.....

Miles behind!


Ha ha  - glad it's not only me then!

Williams comes close again.

He really does seem special.

Blimey, I thought mine was bad!

Ferry on for Navarro

Listen on the BBC. It's a cup match so they're playing it.

still 2-0

80 minutes first STFC sub - is that a PDC record?

Did McEverley get subbed in the first half in the end?

austin and thompson have just clashed heads. sounds nasty!

TROY!!!!!!!!!!!! 3-1!!!

Fucking get in

Troooooy!!!

Get in! Troy-Boy

Get in!!!

TROOOOOOOOOOOY

fucking get in

 :pint: yeeeeesssssssss

YYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUCKING GET IN.

...and breathe!  

Wouldn't have thought it would be TA-H, but i'll take it!

Archie Henners !! 3-1

TRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

WOOOOOOOOOO TAH!

 :D

I switched over to BBC Wilts just in time to hear our third goal!

Get in!!!

 :pint:

 ;)Shit-Austin scores

Troy the new OST

Last contribution from Troy, lovely jubbly.

Flint coming on for Troy.

Cheerio Charlie!  :bye:

I'm not doing very well tonight am I?  Must be the Austrian Octoberfest Beer

Should, SHOULD make these last 6 or so mins more bareable

TOWN SUB - Benson OFF Collins ON #STFC

Thanks for the tip, much better, and £3.99 cheaper

Jensen makes a great save from Williams

Even though you have still paid the £3.99 for this month?

Just saying...

I smell Chelsea

There could be a little Baronetcy for you in this. How does SWS Bart sound to you?

Can everyone e-mail Nick Watkins and ask them to play something other than 'Glad It's All Over' when we score??

Everyone know's it's a Palace song (I know Blackpool have 'adopted' it as well) but there are literally millions of other songs out there which are not associated with other clubs.

eh ?

Spot on OST. It's a bit of a out of order that we play that.

All Town at the minute.

Very enjoyable stuff!

If we win tonight, is that a team from all 4 leagues beaten already this season?

Sure I read that somewhere?

When was the last time we reached round 4 of the league cup?

Swansea next round I reckon.

Crawley now losing too. Happy Days.

no - 2nd victory over championship club but not beaten a L2 team (could get Bradford or Burton next round to complete the set)

Year we got to the semi under McMahon I reckon 94/95?

If I was feeling pedantic I'd tell you the song is not 'Glad It's All Over', but 'Glad all over'.

But I'm not, so I wont.

We should play nothing!

Mrs Kerry Red hates Crawley

Thought so, I couldn't remember beating a Lg 2 team.

They don't play 'Glad its all over'. They play 'Glad all over'.

Bit of a difference between The Captain and The Dave Clark Five!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6vWqC29ETg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-hL7ryCy3Y

Ah, I see what you did there....  very good

Sure we haven't got to a semi since 79-80 have we?

yes we have under muckmarn

Oh yeah, good point. You get the general gist of it though :D

You mean do nothing?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtL_c_i6vdQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtL_c_i6vdQ)

Oh  :-[

FT.

Bring on anyone!

YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

A big side at home please next round.

Get in

The duration of the Capt version is 23 secs longer than the DC5 version.
Is that accounted for by the addition of an extra word in the chorus ?
Do you think ?

And the draw is.... when?

Tomorrow night after the tv game isn't it?

Wooo. We are bound to get Bradford or Burton aren't we?

Must be ages since we had a big top 5/6 prem team.

After the game tomorrow on sky!

Burton away would be great (for me).

Yep around 10pm.

Cool, should get home around 10pm to find out!

...........unless it rains

Have you just changed that to try and make me look stupid ?

Draw pretty much in the middle of pre drinking tomorrow then, sense there make be drunken and loud celebrations tomorrow. (Or subdued if we get a shite draw...)

Mceveley with 2 assists tonight

Well played Town.3 on the spin now and hopefully the run will continue on Saturday

From   http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=104&fid=297&sty=2&act=1&mid=2114037067

Throughly sick after that 'performance'. To lose in that manner to a pub outfit is a joke. No desire, no organisation and yet again we've caused our own downfall. The defence and attitude needs sorting and FAST.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH!! :D

Sour grapes much :hmmm:

We're a pub outfit... :D

http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=104&fid=297&sty=2&act=1&mid=2114037067

Eh?  Does it say I edited it?

And you do that on your own anyway!  ;)

Ah yes, blocked out the whole Bolton marathon. It was too hard to follow from abroad pre-internet.

It was fucking hard to be there at the end, too.

Pub outfit?

Fucking northern cunt. Get back to beating your wife

To be fair most comments on that thread back us up.

That's me, an hour ahead, up at 4am to drive to Munich!

Good night

In all fairness, the other people on there are disputing the 'pub outfit' remark.

Shitty (+2)
Exeter (+1)
Hudds (+1)
Colch(+1)
Wigan (+3)
Brighton (+1)
Stoke (+2)
Burnley (+1)

4 more wins in the Capital 1 FLC please

And he was about to be subbed at one point before half time!

Yes they do. It's still a hilarious comment though :D

Yep

when would the next round be played? i can't find it on the capital one website

Agreed, just it's amusing...

Edit: Yet it's quantified by this

Wouldnt classify Burnley as a bigger team then us.  Without Austin they'd probably get relegated this season

PDC on now.

Hope we play well against Shrewsbury.  Usually after a good result we come unstuck in the next game

Like we came unstuck tonight after the 4-0 win on Saturday you mean?

What is Paolo talking about?

Anybody?

It's very rare I can ever understand him..

30th / 31st October - took me ages to find it via google

No like how we lost 4-1 to Preston after Stoke

Same team to play on sat apparently

fecking hell, i'm on holiday!

PDC:
- Happy because a chance to play at fantastic stadium
- Performance important for PDC
- We made an outstanding performance
- Most pleasing was that we went forward to try to score after conceding
- Pleased that Troy didnt lose confidence after being beaten to set up Burnley goal
- Praised forwards - especially Benson the rusty man.
- PDCs football is expensive in energy in the amount of running that is required.
- Seemed to make a point about the amount of running required and seemed to be sending a message to someone who doesn't want to run as much
- Talked about the benefits to the club of playing a big team away or at home in the next round. Might have less chance of winning but it would be a fantastic opportunity.
- Shrews on saturday. PDC won't change anything for Saturday ie The same team will play (much laughing in the background)

31st is the day I go to see the killers.


If we get someone like Man utd on that day I may cry.

How they hell did you decipher that?!

Talk about Mr Brightside.

Thanks for that - I found it more difficult to understand than usual tonight!!

I guess!!!

Hopefully someone like Villa at home.  Bound to be on sky and would fancy us to beat them

I think I understood that bit.

I think he was sending the message to Collins

I couldn't tell whether he was criticising Collins by praising Benson running around for 90 minutes. I also couldn't tell whether he was chiding Navarro for playing well in big games but not in others, or whether he was using Navarro and Benson as a example to younger players who weren't bought into PDCs way of training and playing.

Another fantastic performance and so, so, so very proud of the way this team is going under PdC. I know it's been said before but something very special is happening here, we will have bad times but nights like this, Stoke et al make it so very worthwhile!

We absolutely pummeled Burnley over 90 minutes and could have scored a few more like Saturday, couldn't fault any of the players and T A-H coming back will do us wonders!

A win all round, Austin won me a few quid by scoring, we're in the 4th round and loved the way Charlie applauded us at the end and kissed the town badge. We were angry at the way he left-yes, but I'm sure the majority will wish him well going by tonight!

Onwards to Saturday and a trip to Shrewsbury (who I'm sure Turner will remind them of last season at our place, hope what happened last time doesn't happen again after we beat Stoke)

Who would I like in the next round from winners tonight-Chelsea (H), who do I want in the next round-Bradford (H) with a QF place up for grabs!

Dunno but the bird on the radio just said

" I've got a text here from a Tans, but I can't read it out as it's quite offensive........but he says it wasn't Austin's fault we got relegated"

Ha ha, I hope that was our Tans. Good work fella, keep sending the offensive texts in. :D

"Fuck off. It was not austins fault we were relegated. It was that twat wilson and cunts like prutton and rose @bbcwiltshire"

I'm surprised BBC didn't read Tans's tweet out in full to be honest.

Must have been, he did tweet to that effect.Can't post it here as its too rude

Most amusing to hear the read half of it out anyway before saying it was too offensive 8)

Guilty as charged

Epic night. These really must be golden times. I'm gonna enjoy!

Fair play to Austin for clapping at the Townend at the end. They didn't deserve it.

And the Town End sang Charlie Charlie Austin in reply

And Charlie Austin we fucking hate you before it  ;)

Firstly Austin gets a lot of credit tonight for the applauding at the end. And the Town End got it right, give him shit, try and put him off and applaud him after. There was even a subdued chant of Charlie Charlie Austin. Its done, hope he gets a big move and we get a big sell on!

The game was good. You can tell Burnley are a good passing team, not sure how many 1st teamers they rested but its fair to say they were dangerous in the first half. Austin missing a header and a shot from a well worked corner spring to mind. That's not to say we were second best, and we took our chances although a couple more went begging.

Second half we were never really in trouble and always looked more likely to score. But a slight defensive mistake cost us as Austin tapped in. But, and this is the impressive bit, just as I was starting to get a bit nervous with 10 to go we upped it again and attacked rather than sat back. When Troy put the 3rd in Burnley became a spent force, it was only a matter of how many more we scored. We didn't, but went close on 3 or 4 occasions.

So they could have scored more, but so could we moreso. I think the scoreline isn't flattering because of this.

Lastly, Thompson stood up really well to a physical test tonight. Its only a few games in, but he has been superb so far.

Forget Austin - concentrate on our players

Sorry Major, cannot agree with that, when we scored our first it was really against the run of play.  Overall we thoroughly deserved to win, it's taken Williams a bit of time to get going but he really does look the business.

Fuck that. He totally understood it was part of a ploy to wind him up.

Want to see proper venom, I reckon there is a fair chance of that next Tuesday and the return of that useless cunt Prutton.

Isnt it colchester next week??

Okay, I love Andy Williams. Burnley couldn't handle his movement and pace all night. The whole team played really well, I just hope there's no hangover on Saturday.

Nathan Thompson has made a real difference to the team I believe.  Strong, yes a bit raw, but he gives us a better balance at the back - and doesn't he like a tackle.  Think he would have been my mom tonight, but everybody put in a five-star performance, long may it continue.

Yes.Oh bollocks, he at Scunthorpe isn't he. Excuse me...

Well, it still applies if Rose get anywhere near the squad :)

I think after the Stoke-Preston games, there is no way we are going to underperform against the Shrews

Rose and Prutton are useless cunts who just took a wage from us. They deserve all the stick we can give them.

Would that be the Austrian beer at the Oktoberfest going on in Munich at the moment?

In Rose's defence, I think he was trying. Actually that's a bit worrying, to be trying and be that shit. Sheehan on the other hand I rate, but he was fucking dogshit because he couldn't be arsed.

Goes to prove, though, if you haven't got a manager with a stick some players will take the piss

Don't cry.

Jesus mate why? Have you forgot Southampton and Leeds away. The man was great fot town. Get over it chump!

Norway was he being serious ;)

Great performance tonight. We were good all over the park. congratulations must go to the brainless cunt behind me who was saying that Miller was shit and hadn't had a good game for the club. He was superb tonight as he was Saturday.
Andy Williams deserved MOM but nobody had a bad one. What is good to see is the partnerships down the flanks. Ritchie and thompspn are looking good and so are McEvely and Roberts.
All in all a good night. If we can't get a home draw then I'll take Villa away.

for me Argentina.

Just saying he deserves some credit for clapping those who gave him stick. He's grown up a bit since he was here.

Fuckin hell. Some of you blokes on here are unbelievable. 21'000 posts on an Stfc forum and you forgot that we were playing. Get a life man!

It's so easy for Andy Williams at the moment, he's just too good to be true.

Fuck off

Did you ever see him play for us ?

Of course you fucking didn't

You fucking twat

People like you that seem to be living on this forum at the moment make me want to drink my own bile

Andy Williams on BBC Wiltshire, talking about getting his first town goal and going on to score more since:
"It's like the gaffer said, once I get my first goal.... well, technically he said they'd come like grapes"

I think I love him a little.

In answer to my own question on how strong Burnley were, a comment on the Burnley forum regarding the starting lineup:

"He's gone for a strong team. Only Pato and Shackell rested. Mills midfield as many people were hoping"

Seems like you've been drinking something

Wish I had CS

Being a Town fan hasn't felt this good for years. Loving football at the moment. Bring on anyone in round 4.

I am in Strasburg, and trust me Oktoberfest is in full swing here, and has been since last weekend, and will be for another 2 weeks.

I don't think you will find it is exclusive to Munich Mr Munich!  I am in Munich all day tomorrow.

Me too, although I'd leave a pint of your bile alone.

Nice to see Charlie get the respect he deserved tonight............. Yep, Charlie Charlie Henry inducted into the STFC Hall of Fame!! Proper Swindon Legend and helped us win two promotions including getting an equaliser when losing a play off final!

Salzburg/Strasbourg, Septemberfest/Oktoberfest, let's call the whole thing off.

Outstanding performance,for me the best performance under Di Canio.....every player knew there job and did it with a good composure....made a good outfit look ordinary at times.
Williams could have had five....played well though Thompson and Mcevely for me were superb.
Mcevely is a real class act and would fit into any championship team i reckon.....very enjoyable evening and now into the last 16!!!
Nice to hear the Town End give Charlie a song at the end............after 90 mins of abuse :D
I bet he enjoyed every second of it.....i did :clap:

Another enjoyable night at the CG. Sounds good being in last sixteen!  Thought it was a pretty good game that we deserved to win and there seemed to be a lot of newbies sitting around us so hopefully they will come back again soon.

Great result tonight....... :)

Di Canio sure has the ability to get things moving.

Long may it continue

Come on you redsssssssssssss

hehe

That was great.

Ref was shit.

Its my job to say this every game.

He was shit tonight though.  Couldn't work out 10 yards, threw cards around for anything and pulled play back when we were on a great break to yellow card one of their players.

We were fantastic.

can we get a competitive tie next please?

James Adcock, mostly refereed in league two this season and conference before that so this was a big one for him. Probably trying to impress the assessors with the yellow cards.

Oh Mr Diggler I'm ever so sorry that I forgot about the game until after kick-off.

Perhaps you would like to juggle a full time job, evening studies and two children under the age of 3.

Condescending prick.

If that's the Strasbourg in France I'm even more confused! I thought that Fest was in October. I guess if you're there you should know :)

I was at the one here Sunday and before the game, maybe tomorrow too.  Will you be there?

@Townendpaul you deserved to win

‏@jon_stfc
@campbellclaret Great turn out from your fans tonight, seems EH lacks passion and a bit of tactical nous, see you next season

Alastair Campbell ‏@campbellclaret
@jon_stfc you might be right!



The king of spin acknowledges our greatness, sort of

Loving the petty squabbles on here tonight.

Long may they continue.  They only happen after decent results

Fucking get in!

Now a plum draw away please!!

Austin on a tenner at 6/4 was a result until I found out ladbrokes was 3-1.....still never mind!

I got offered 6/4 at Ladbrokes yesterday. No way was he 3/1

I love football, although I should admit my lack of commitment to the cause, I slept through this one too: kicked off at 3:45 AM my time. Perhaps I should keep doing it, we seem to win every time I don't stay up.

liked I said, good night on the Austrian beer.  Early morning, off to Munich.

That doesn't equate to 'usually', that's one occasion.

No unfortunately not, fly out on the last plane tonight.  Not that it was possible to get a hotel room for tonight in Munich anyway

Been there and done it son, and still managed to get to games.

STFC the upset specialists. Pretty unbelievable record against teams from higher divisions in the last 13 months.

I would legitimately fancy our chances against anybody at home in the next round.

Austin anytime/swindon wincast was a nice little bonus as well.

Well you're obviously a better fan than me.

Give yourself a pat on the back.

It happens Samdy. Last time I forgot about a game we beat Southend 6-0. In fact, I didn't realise we had a game again Tuesday until someone mentioned it last night.

I thought it was a Thompson OG rather than an Austin goal. Looked like thompson slid it in from where I was sat

Yeah we thought that too. Obviously he had no choice but to try and clear as it was essentially a tap in for Austin. One for the dubious goals pannel!

Looks that way on the highlights. What did people make of Troy after his lay off? I thought Ward looked good on Saturday, which makes a nice dilemma for the weekend.

I thought TAH looked a lot more accomplished on the pitch than he sounded in his interview!

"Uhhh, yeah. I headed the ball and it went in."

You shouldn't have to justify yourself to anyone. It's all about priorities. Part of the reason I hardly go anymore. Play football sundays, so if I was out saturday I'd hardly see my little girl...

Great team  Performance last night
I hope we have thompson on a long contract
Who would i like in the next round? well a top club away
When is the next round?

Surely we want the easiest team possible in the next round?

Making it to the semi-final would give us a two-leg game which would surely be the biggest pay-day for the club.

30th/31st October

Exactly!

These highlights anywhere online?

And in terms of the Caddis situation, it looks like we are having the last laugh now, we've had a nearly if not equally as good right back all along, signed a good striker who has impressed so far in exchange and more than likely receive a transfer fee when he eventually moves on permanently.

Says the arse with over 15,000 posts.

If you would like to discuss whatever your problem is PM me and we can sort it face to face

Ooo er!  It's an internet forum Kerry. If you can't take a few insults without trying to arrange a punch up, you shouldn't come on the site.

He obviously doesn't know what Fred is like once his arms and legs get going.

I heard he did it once in sainsburys...

Maybe he fancies a pint and a frank discussion with Fredster?

And maybe I don't take kindly to being abused by an acne-ridden bumpkin.

I wouldn't take it down the pub so why should I take it on a forum?

Especially as I was being really controversial by stating we should forget about Charlie Austin.

 :popcorn:

are there highlights anywhere?

PS. At least [Burnley] were better than Bournemouth  ;) :)

Highlights show on BBC1 tonight, but can't see any online yet.

Fair enough. Just seems a bit thin skinned and precious to me, but each to his own.

They haven't met up yet!

Kerry, you swear a lot for a girl!

You'd think we were Oxford with the amount of drama in here.

Hahahahaha

You are a modern day hero

Average Pub team 3 Shambles massive club 1. Tell you what, they'd be ripped apart at our level. just not by Bournemouth :)

Fucking lightweight :)

Not at all. However it never ceases to amaze me how many people that troll this forum hardly ever go to games. Why the fuck would you want to comment on an Stfc forum if you don't even know when the next game is? Now I couldn't care less whether you come from Swindon, London or outer Mongolia but at least have an interest. I visit this forum periodically after games to see if those that attended have the same view of the performance as mine. If it differs then that is fine but I don't want to know that you think that Darren Ward is shit if the last time that you saw him play was at Wembley in 2010.

I now expect the usual replays telling me that I am a wanker (Have to work, got the kids, got no money) as I say been there and done it.

Rant over

What..... the fuck..... does it matter to you anyway?

Dirk

I think you have to remember that for a lot of people who no longer live in the UK - myself included - the forum is a way of still feeling attached to the club and to keep up with comings and goings.

As for those that live close enough to go but choose not to, there could be a lot of reasons why

Kinell, just read the Burnley forum. Who the fuck do they think they are?! Christ.

Still got their Premier League mindset, then?

To be fair it was only the odd one or two, referring to us as a pub team and we were average, they were worse.

Really? :facepalm:

Cheerio lads, I'm obviously not worthy enough to be here.

I haven't been to the CG for a league game for nearly two years, as long as I continue to stay away Town will continue to do well  :).

I have other priorities these days.

How dare you. Even though I've never been to the County Bowl I'm a huge fan of Swindon United!

Only because you thoguht it was Sweden, not Swindon.

Blimey how dare my memory not function as intended when other matters intrude on my life (as has happened)

Clearly I'm not a proper fan.

A fan by definition is normally plastic, often animated and only appears for part of the year.

 :suicide:

Modern day hero may have sold you short, you are also the coolest guy I have ever heard of.

Why pursue family, work and other hobbies when you are that dedicated to watching a wanky football team above else?

Form an orderly queue ladies

did we play last night???????? who won??

Whilst I agree with your sentiments, 'wanky football team' is tantamount to heresy.

Who cares. Man U on the telly tonight. Real football.

It's all relative Herty my old fruit.

All football is wanky with the Ryder Cup looming anyway.

Good Afternoon everyone, still buzzing after the win last night and got my Shrews tickets this morning....can't wait for the draw tonight! C.O.Y.R!!!

fred's a right angry fucker nowadays.seems to pop up now and then to abuse newbies then disapears again

You didn't care you were enjoying The Flash touching your arse all game.

When will the date be confirmed as at the moment it seems to be 30/31st Oct being suggested?

Not suggested....that IS the dates the ties will be played on.

I would imagine it depends on a) the draw b) the clubs and c) who Sky fancy picking for the live games on a Tues 30 and Weds 31...looking forward to it! Probably by early next week confirmation!

Not at all arriba

Just fed up of the influx of posters that make comments on what we should be thinking etc when the only informed opinion that they can construct is from what the hear on Player or off the Adver website.

This thread is a classic example

So we should forget Austin should we ?

That guy cost us fuck all, virtually single handedly got us to a play off final and make us a sack full of cash.

I will remember him for the good times he brought to the club rather than the manner of his departure.

People that criticise from afar without even seeing things first hand seem more than a bit rich to me.

Unfortunately increasingly becoming the norm on this forum.

I go to all home and hardly any away to balance my home and football life.

I AM the modern day hero.

A bit like you on here then?

instances ?

Like your previous post, ranting and raving about a forum you never frequent anyway.

I'm not actually that arsed Fred

A forum civil war :) where's my orange hat? It's makes me more angry!

I am here every day Davey Boy

I just choose not to post

I'm off to protest outside the Arkells about it.

 :hmmm:

that often  :D

The not going argument is shit,i never been to walford but know syed is a shit player

This place with a few exceptions has always been the home of those who don't go often if at all.  There are a few exceptions, but too much football manager talk can get a bit dull. I'd say post match in a pub or club is where that sort of talk is best suited.

Andy Williams is dead. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Virtually single handedly? What the fuck are you  prattling on about?

Whats your issue with 29 goal Billy Paynter? 9 goal Danny Ward. L1 top assister JPM. Gordon Greer? Dougie and Ferry?

Pull your tongue out of his arsehole.

10 yards my arse.

[url width=631 height=322]http://i.imgur.com/qE327.jpg (http://imgur.com/qE327)[/URL]

So I've just heard, sad news.

Anyone know where I can see the goals online?

It'd be interesting to see what reaction Paynter gets when doncaster come down here. He shafted us no worse than Austin did

Thing is the ball is right on the box - 18 yards, and there is a box marked out at 6 yards. So a quick bit of Vorermanning means the wall should be 2 yards away from the 6 yard box. But was if fook.

It wasn't difficult for the ref. And that's without the wall charging out before the shot!

Just got back...........


From the IOW.

So where can I see clips of the goals?

Really?? Charlie stayed until January the next season when promotion chances were a distant memory and the club was falling to pieces while Paynter had signed for Leeds before the play off final and wasn't interested. Massive difference.

Indifference from me, he wasn't very good.

That's why I said virtually you thick fuck

Paynter deserves the abuse. Came out with the usual, "I'm not discussing a new contract until the end of the season, as it will interfere with the end of the season promotion push" bollocks. When he clearly knew that he was getting a nice little payrise from Leeds at the end of the season.

I wasn't bothered either way about Austin on Tuesday night. He may have put the transfer request in, but at least we made a decent amount from him. He jumped from a sinking ship!

I'd say he was much worse tbh, I was a big fan of his during his time here.

50 minutes in

Thanks  :beers:

Dirk sounds a bit of a dick really.

So he didn't even remotely do it single handedly, did he.

Goals on Sky now

http://www1.skysports.com/football/live/match/274381/video

Just read here that Paynter had signed for Leeds before the play off final ? (Leeds already promoted by then)
If thats the case he deserves an MBE for me in timely negotiation, at the peak of his career with us.

i'm also pleased to see Charlie doing well at Burnley and hope he finishes top scorer in the Championship.
We took him from Poole Town to better his career and to enhance the team - which was achieved. I am sure he will thank STFC for that and STFC should thank him and move on.

What goes around comes around Poole Town might say, and I am sure we will benefit again from developing some other hot prospects from lower leagues in the future but time moves on and so will they and us.

Fwiw on the subject of Austin, he looks to have got better and better.  He's holding the ball up well seems extremely strong and accurate with his headers to bring other players into the game.  Given that he's playing in a shit team he's definitely the star in there and given the right team around him he could have 30 goals a season in the championship and certainly cut it with some prem sides.

Glad for the cocky little shit.

Anyone with Stfc player can watch the whole game on the Burnley official site it split into two halves, also the match highlights are on there

Does anyone know if this a standard feature for Championship sides? How come we can't watch video replays of whole matches?

I went to buy a couple of coffees just before half time to beat the queues and was surprised our game was being shown live on the concourse Tvs which was nice as I didn't miss anything. Haven't noticed this before so don't know if it's the norm?
