So we played them today and won 1-0. That boy Jordan Stewart with the winner.

Our Saviour has returned!!

Nice that should give him a boost

I think things are sensitive enough without teasing him for his lack of height as well ;)

Got to say, out of all the players we have signed this season he was the one I wanted to see play most.

Seems nailed on to be in the team now - if only by default.

Like the -0 in that scoreline, too.

Fantastic, let's hope he's back and can kick on.

Now, you listen here! He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy!'  8)

He wants to go home, he wants to go homeee, Jordan Stewart, he wants to go home

Agree with Audrey - me too, he looked great in that 5 min video highlight thingy - I know it was against lesser opposition but some of those screamers would've hit the back of anyone's net  !!

Would love to see him given the chance  :)

Here's a report

http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/article/rovers-lose-to-swindon-in-final-third-development-cup-2742175.aspx

The squad:....

Swindon Town: Tyrell Belford, Lee Marshall, Will Randall, Momar Bangour (Tom Smith, 65), Ryan Wood, Tom Holland, Jeremy Balmy, Ellis Iandolo (Jordan Young, 71), Jordan Stewart, Yelko Pino, Henrik Ojamaa

Substitutes: Connor Johns, Jake Evans, Nathan Marks

"Swindon did field quite an experienced team...." according to their assistant manager.

Jeeeeeez - less than, what, 20 FL appearance and Belford had probably half of them.

Perhaps worth noting that Iandolo and Bangour didn't play the full 90 but Ojamaa did. Who is closer to starting on Saturday then? - probably one of the CBs.

Bangour as CB? Taken off early to save from injury?

Is their assistant manager 'the' Marcus Stewart?

As in "of highest English goal scorer in the Premiership* and actually played in a kind of OK Sunderland team fame"? Yes


* in that season, whenever it was

People seem to be ignoring the point.

yes, we saw pino from celta.

No just waiting for the ban/fine from the FA for fielding an ineligible player...

I'm sure that you just cannot play them in first team games.

He's implying, oh never mind.

If he's that good then cancel a loan and get him now if we are allowed

visited Bristol Rovers' ground today have to say I thought it was a quality lower division ground. Loved the terracing, the size of the pitch etc. A world away from the refurbed Ashton Gate.

^ obviously a bite.

Why? It's a ground with good character. Much better than the awful bowl, all seated crap most clubs have. Made me miss the terraces.

I saw Ayr on FB...that looks quality.... Terrace on the side...

Totally agree m8. One of my favourite grounds. Love going there even though I've been there 4 times & never seen us win. Got loads of character & is much better than the soulless bowls most clubs seem to have these days. The Pavilion is pretty impressive!!

Would you rather a visit to the padded seats of Stadium:MK? 

I'd have expected a poster of the username 'Oxfordhater' to be a little more old school and prefer a Layer Road to a Colchester Community Stadium for example? 

Are Oxford even relevant anymore?  You'd obviously prefer to see us take them on at the Kassam rather than the Mannor because you'd get your precious little seat to call your own in case somebody dared stand up in front and obstruct your view...

AF3? Good luck. Was there on Tuesday sitting AF4.

Are Bristol Rovers still non-League?

Have to have permission from from thew loaning club though to play in a friendly odd he is here with no chance of playing 1st team football until january, clubs don't usually just give you players for free for a few months

Ha ha random response if ever there was one. I enjoy the terraces as much as the next guy, I grew up on the terraces in the Shrivenham Road and Town End. I was just making the point that it's a shit ground. And no I prefer the old games at the manor, we used to win a few games there.

I'd had a few beers :)

I do have quite the bee in my bonnet about shit new grounds

I've actually said only recently that the Mk experience is the worse I've experienced in football.

Yep AF3. How was AF4? It's a toughy isn't it? Decided to do AF1 in April, then AF4 in October next year. Not looking forward to AF4 really, but am up for tax/trusts. 2/3rds of AF3 was okay, just section C was the killer.

Prefer to sit the exams at MS, rather than AG, much easier to get to.

AF4 wasn't too bad. The questions were definitely kind to me, but the syllabus is so wide you could be tested on anything.

AF1 is tough, the only one so far that I didn't pass first time. Tax isn't exactly an enthralling subject though!

One of our other advisers was doing AF3 in Bristol too. Both he and I have been quite heavily involved with AE so he quite enjoyed that last question.

All being well, it's just AF5 left for me in April.

What's this all about? You talking in code?

Finance exams

Module numbers

Ahh ok, thanks.

Yeah, kinda derailed the thread there. Sorry.

 :D

Sorry Darlo, no confusion intended! As I say was quite surprised how much I liked the ground.

It doesn't take much..

a comment from a Bristol Rovers fans regarding us "They are virtually potless, with not much in the way of assets."

I presume they don't understand irony at all

Didnt their chairman lie about their so called super stadium they were having built :D
