Sorry I can't provide loads of interesting and random facts about the opposition like Shaw Rosso did.

But I can start a match day thread.

2-0 win.

Done.

I initially misread that as "Jay to self combust with excrement". Which is a very different mental picture.

3-1 win, spurred on by a glorious display of what it's possible to achieve with paper rolls and confetti outside of a primary school arts and crafts class :) Only kidding, more power to all your collective elbows, hope it goes well.

Close game but think we'll sneak it 2-1 late on with Willo and Mass being inspired by the wall of colour. Well done to all involved

Post by: stfc1975 on Saturday, March 14, 2015, 11:01:43
Inspired by Jay , the players suddenly find their confidence and batter the opposition   0-3 Smith hatrick.


Alternatively,  the players shocked by the level of support go goal shy and lose 1-0. The ball going in after deflecting off one of Jays baloons.

Let's hope for the former. Well done Jay and everyone involved. Will be a memorable day whatever.

Lots of crepe paper and plenty of synthetic flags could actually mean they'll combust because of excitement thanks to static.

3-1. Got to win this.

Its Jay's big finale piece, he is going to transform into the Golgothan from Dogma and the explode in a shower of excrement - they will be talking about it for years at Vale Park!

Good luck with all the positive stuff today, I predict a nervy 2-1 win.

The criticism smith gets is really starting to piss me off. Bloke runs his arse off very game, is a very good finisher and creates a lot of goals for us with his assists. Fed up of hearing it, before/during/after game

hope he scores today to shut the cunts in the pub up

to be fair Smith's going through a bit of a barren spell at the moment and his confidence is shot. Hope he regains his form soon.

Great hard fought win, was so hard to listen to today but a very valuable win with MKD losing, we are now 4 points clear of them.

The only minus point is the amount of fucking silly bookings we seem to be picking up, otherwise a good day at the office.

Pre game quote from the Vale forum.

Quote
Swindon are one of the few clubs I find completely charmless, maybe it's because we don't have a great record against them but most likely it's because I can't think of a single redeeming feature they have; they always come across as collectively arrogant, their fans always seem to fancy themselves even though they have little cause to, their current manager is a highly irritating pompous big head who is consistently condescending towards all other L1 sides when interviewed and it's a completely unfriendly place to visit irrespective of if you go there as a football fan or not. That's why I'd love to beat them or at the very least not lose to them.

Well he never got his wish today did he? ;)

A win at Donny would be monumental.....we've only ever played them in my life time....10 visits, no wins...ever.

They've had some proper shit sides in that time....makes no difference, Belle Vue or Keep Moat....makes no difference.

A point would be acceptable against that background.....the potential advantages of finishing 3rd are starting to show.... the hunt for 6th place is just getting silly now.

Joking aside, although ours are difficult games coming up, Preston have an improving Peterborough, an on form Barnsley (away) and a playoff chasing Fleetwood (away) in their next three games.

Unfortunately they are shit hot themselves right now. Laugh, but they could win the league.

It's not all that unrealistic, it wasn't long ago that Preston looked to be out of it. City had a poor result today, at home. Have they not just lost their key striker? I don't think any of us would be surprised if their unhinged manager loses the plot and they capitulate. As things stand now it looks as though they have it wrapped up, it could look quite different in a couple of weeks or so though.

I don't think us and Preston beating City is impossible. And since Preston are 5 point behind if they win their games in hand....

If we are still in the race when the time comes we have a difficult morale dilemma coming up:
  - Needing City to beat Preston, I''ll feel dirty wanting them to win
  - Beating Preston leading to City's championship/promotion. I'll feel less bothered if we somehow move into second mind :)

I think focussing on being hard to beat and being able to grind out results in difficult circumstances is what we need to concentrate on for the rest of the season. 1st has most likely gone. 2nd is going to be tough to achieve. Playoffs is looking most likely. Being able to win them if that is where we end up has to be the priority.

I have always advocated that NO team in any of our domestic leagues will win their title by playing blindingly attractive pure football. Even Man U in their prime "ground" out ugly results during their most impressive form. At the end of the season any teams performance will be judged on the number of points attained.

Well, just got home. Fucking shattered.

I had a great time and everyone in the away end was up for it. People were actively asking for balloons. The flags I threw out were up high plenty of times, just hope they bring them back to games. And the streamers went down well.

The banquet paper kept blowing away and tearing unfortunately so I think I might get some fabric for MK. And more streamers next time.

The players seemed to appreciate it and we got a win so it was a great day all around.

And in response to it looking 'pathetic' or 'half hearted', I think the fact it was a 1/3 full huge away end didn't help. Everyone was so spread out meaning a lot of it go lost. It was my first time organising anything like this so it's a first step towards creating a great atmosphere for our fans.

Takes effort and cost to do what you did and glad the result was a just reward.

My lad loved the balloons, streamers and beach balls.
Have to say that the atmosphere today was immense despite the lack of numbers.
Been to most away games this season and today we were louder than games where we have taken more fans. Reckon that was down to the effort you put in which made everyone want to take part.

Fair play, I was involved to a small extent with L&P and regardless of the massive efforts in a similar way there seems to be an element of luck to get it right - there has to be a momentum that takes on a life of its own. That's a trick that's very hard to pull off.

Wow! The South Wales branch of the STFC Supporters club (me) has just got home. Really enjoyed. I don't go away very often (the last was the league cup win v City under Di Canio) so I don't have much to compare it to but I thought the atmosphere was really good. Singing almost throughout.

Thought the effort Jay and his mates put in was admirable. It was great to see all the balloons and streamers (although we left one hell of a mess behind ha). Think it should be easier to get more people involved at the CG so it's a great start.

Vale fans were incredibly quiet. It's a funny little ground but there was just no atmosphere coming from them.

As for the game, we should probably have scored 1 or 2 more had we been a bit more clinical. Gladwin, Byrne and Obika all had chances to finish the game off but took too many touches. On another day we probably would have let 1 or 2 in as well. Wes made some smart saves and there were quite a few blocked shots.
We played some lovely football at times. Still managed to gift them a few openings but in general it was very good. The move that created Smiths chance right at the end - I think between Byrne and Gladwin was delicious!

Need Preston to slip up now and keep winning.

In fairness they did deserve a point from that. They worked really hard and did earn it IMO, they're just unlucky our defence had a blinder. But saying that we could have been 3-0 up by the time they came into it at 35 mins.

I love it when somebody from Australia or wherever says I'm a negative cunt because i went to blades away and booed the manager and performance.....

Hope he organises something at Preston when it could well be winner takes all.....

I didn't go today but like others I shit myself the entire second half listening to the wireless.....we held on and it sounded like we wanted it.....I reckon they did well today.

I will be there on Tuesday to see the mighty Swindon break tradition and actually put in a performance against Donny and win three points towards auto promotion.....

Fair play to you Jay, you've put a lot of time and effort into today, and think your getting some underserved stick. At some point we have all been that type of fan.... Whether it was when we were younger, in our teenage years or grown up, we have all gone through the stage of only caring about the Swindon result and looking forward to watching them, getting behind them and wanting to generate a decent atmosphere.
So fair play to you sir.

We did what was needed today, got ahead and saw it out. It was stressful however, bar the opening 20 mins we didn't get out if first gear. If we had to we would've stepped up in my opinion.

Vale fans saying they should've got a point are forgetting we had 2-3 good chances in the first half and failed to capitalise on a 5-on-2 break amongst other chances in the second. They had 1 good chance?! If that.

Atmosphere was excellent today - well done all involved.

If Swindon don't blatantly cheat then they certainly bend the rules!

Their number 2 & 6 went down injured and hobbled off after several minutes of treatment. Within seconds of limping a long the touch line waiting to come back on, the No 2 come back on & was sprinting back towards his own goal to win a through ball. The same can be said for No 6 who again within seconds of limping off was running without any problems & taking throw-ins.

Every one of their defenders were pulling shirts & their keeper went to ground whenever possible. This isn't a case of sour grapes because I went to today's game expecting to see a team in the promotion race full of skilled individuals playing open flowing football being backed by a solid defence drilled in nullifying the opponents strengths.

What I saw was a Swindon team using every trick & bending every rule to stop the Vale from going toe-to-toe with a bogie side pushing for promotion. Unfortunately the referee was unable too or the rules don't allow him to penalise cheating footballers feigning injuries. Either way Swindon won't achieve much using that brand of football and sooner or later they will be found out!

As always I have read of the opposition forums, this is from the PV forums and there is an underlying theme as you can see from these comments......some good some bad and some ugly :)

Quote
We lost today but I came away feeling more satisfied and proud of the teams effort than some of the games we've undeservedly won this season! Swindon were horrible today for a number of reasons but still have some excellent players and will be in the Championship next season.


Swindon and their fans will know they were very fortunate to get the three points today.


I thought we dominated the 2nd half against a top side


Swindon looked a decent side


Encouraging in so far as I thought we gave a decent team a decent game.


Swindon are a good side


Lastly a note of the referee and Swindon, with both absolutely disgraceful in that 2nd half. For as good as some of there football was, I really hope they fail to get promotion purely because of their Chelsea-esque tactics. When will we get a ref with the balls to clamp down on blatant cheating like this? Why was it, as soon as there players were going down didn't he immediately order them off the pitch for treatment and let the game continue? When will they get rid of the rule of being able to choose which side goal kicks are taken from as it is clearly being used to waste time. And equally frustratingly, why the Hell are we stupid enough to give them the ball back???


Swindon really showed themselves up today. I suppose we could take it as a complement, as they obviously thought that we were a good team and were worried about losing the match, otherwise they would have just tried to score more goals.
The ref seemed to do nothing about their blatant cheating until very late on, it’s far too late by then. Tackle it early and they are less likely to do it.


The players should be proud of themselves. Swindon on the other hand..........


The ref was conned by their players today. The two 'injured' lads went down to break up the play and to allow their lads to go over to their manager and have a couple of impromptu coaching tips on the touchline. It happened in the first half as well. And the goalie's time-wasting was blatant from 20 minutes onwards, replacing every goal-kick, moving the ball from one side of the six yard box to the other time after time. If that wasn't wasting time, what is? They were also lucky on a few occasions when they were shirt grabbing and stopping Vale players from reaching high balls into their box but they got away with it.


After the first 15 minutes Swindon were showboating at times, they looked quality, but we stuck to it and were the better side in the second half. Where were the Swindon fans? Bristol Rovers took nearly 700 to Halifax ! Swindon brought how many? 450?


First half Swindon looked very impressive, however, second half they looked very ordinary.


Disappointing and frustrating and that was only the crowd both in numbers and attitude - little vocal support and plenty of moans and nit picking. I heard much more support for their team from the Swindon fans


The game was ruined when Swindon players started time wasting and diving everywhere and pretending to be injured.


Hate Swindon they always win !!


Swindon are horrible...but for a young team they had a lot of guile.


Until we can play like teams such as Swindon we have no chance. All their players were comfortable on the ball and were interchanging and finding space at will

It really pisses me off that the footage taken by some one in the crowd with their phone is about 100 times better than the 'quality' you get on STFC Player.

Re. the comments about time wasting/diving and so on. I wish they would cut it out really because I can't believe it increases our chances of winning games by that much. In a way, I'm surprised that Cooper puts up with it but when you remember that his old man played for the team who wrote the book about gamesmanship and had massive success with it, I don't suppose it's that surprising. But when you look at that Leeds team, they didn't need to do it either. It's quite frustrating really.

It all started with City fans being unable to take getting beat by us - there had to be a reason other than we were better. So the whole diving, cheating thing started.

This has been picked up by fans of other clubs via the forums and trotted out as the reason they, too, got beat.

As a fan I honestly don't notice us diving or rolling around, but I do notice it when opposition players do it.

There's the answer - it's always the other teams

Well, just got home. Fucking shattered.

I had a great time and everyone in the away end was up for it. People were actively asking for balloons. The flags I threw out were up high plenty of times, just hope they bring them back to games. And the streamers went down well.

The banquet paper kept blowing away and tearing unfortunately so I think I might get some fabric for MK. And more streamers next time.

The players seemed to appreciate it and we got a win so it was a great day all around.

And in response to it looking 'pathetic' or 'half hearted', I think the fact it was a 1/3 full huge away end didn't help. Everyone was so spread out meaning a lot of it go lost. It was my first time organising anything like this so it's a first step towards creating a great atmosphere for our fans.

Hopefully those who were there enjoyed it. :)

Good work, Jay. The efforts of yourself and friends certainly made a difference to the players. Onwards and upwards - second place is still within reach.

2) Everyone else does it anyway.

3) We spent an entire season getting kicked off the park and got nothing.

I think those Vale comments are pretty balanced on the whole. If they could see we were a quality side from that performance, then clearly something showed through. It's always galling when a team plays for time to hold onto a narrow lead, but the ref added 6 minutes for it, so they weren't cheated.


Title: Re: Port Vale Vs Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread
Post by: welshred on Sunday, March 15, 2015, 17:44:26
I think most of us know that there is something in it. Time wasting has been going on throughout the leagues for years, but I'm pretty sure the level of gamesmanship our boys show is higher than most other teams in our division. I don't necessarily have an issue with this if it gets us promoted. Football is a game of percentages so if you can get your team a free kick over giving away a throw in, you might be able to drop to the floor and con the ref. I saw Nathan Thompson do exactly that yesterday in the first 10 minutes.

But some would call it professionalism. You can get away with these things, so why not? The higher up the leagues you go, the more it happens.

Only at Swindon  ::)

Quote
Ty Belford’s brother Cameron has been training with the club recently, with the option to bring him in as temporary cover not considered given he’s suspended due to a paperwork issue stemming from his days in non-league football.

He said: “Cameron’s suspended at the moment. I think it’s to do with paperwork on a booking when he was playing non-league, it was a booking which wasn’t paid for.

“There was a mix up with the paperwork which led to him being suspended for two games, I believe.”
