So... back to winning ways?

1-3 away win.

Thompson, Obika and Ajose..

Ling to run up the touchline at the end, like Di Canio at Northampton.

Swindon Town F.C.  :no:

Heart says resounding win, head says resounding defeat.

Will lingy go for 2 up top or will he replace gladwin with robert playing just behind lone striker? Will Belford get a goal? New manager syndrome leads to 2 1 Town win. Robert and Obika to score for us

What got me was long has said he isn't going to pick the team today he's going to let Williams do it until he has a better idea of what players he likes......

"long", we'll be ok now if Shane Long has now taken over as manager, plays himself upfront and our problems are over!  Could we sneak a lucky draw?

Sorry Ronnie, Obviously I ment Ling, thanks

2-0 loss.

I will quite happily take a draw as still in Oz until Wednesday and a replay would suit. A win on the road would be better though as we definitely need a confidence booster.

Rochdale's twin town is Bielefield in Germany. A 0-0 draw today will result in a test series against the the 'dale including the league game at the CG on 12th December. Away to Didcot in the second round please.

3-1 Town

We'll win this, I can feel it in my water.

A win would be nice.

My buzz factor is zero at the minute, with very little enthusiasm for football in general.

It was minus figures but last nights BBC 'love in' of Salford City geed me up a bit as I so wanted a really shit Notts county side to beat them....but like everything this season, it wasn't to be.

What are the odds on a postponement... It's been pissing it down up this way solidly for 3 days now?

Come te fuck!

We're primed for a win and the season will take off.

Bollocks to the naysayers!

Our problem is poor players, which won't change with ML, as he's stuck with the same as Cooper had, and can't bring in replacements. Therefore if the players are at all capable of better it should happen straight away. One thing that has been niggling away is the feeling that given the pitches and weather so far this season have been very much in our favour, we may now get worse as we approach winter.

1-1 then we'll win 2-1 at the CG

Been on the happy pills again Reginald? I can't wait till it gets worse....

I can see us winning this, then getting someone like Oxford or Rovers in the next rpund and losing.

I can also see a win today being followed by a return to normal service next week,  leading us all to wish we could trade a cup win for 3 points.

I remember seeing us win at Spotland in 84, about this time of year in similar weather conditions....Macari was still playing, and we had a handful of decent players left over, plus some newbies Lou was trying to forge into a team. Not a great side, but you could sense that Lou, was instilling into them some effort....on the day Colin Gordon came on for a debut, scored and ended up with 17, by season's end.

We'd picked up Gordon from park football, he looked like that McNulty at Luton, but on the day bundled one in fairly late on, barely visible through the muck and rain. With full time training you could see Gordon morph from a fat fucker into something more like a footballer.

The Town hardcore, could see that although results were patchy particularly on the road the team played with a spirit, especially at the CG, which is why when Macari was sacked, the fans demonstrated successfully for his return.

We need to see some battling spirit now, in order to convince the present day hardcore.

We shall fight on the beaches of the Southend pitch,
we shall fight on the shitty northern grounds,
we shall fight in the fields of god forsaken Bradford,
we shall fight in the hills of Oldham,
we shall never surrender...

In rochdale, looking forward to the game think we will continue the improved performances and get a result today. COYR

Never really understood the 'we'll get a result' line.

Getting beat 5-0 is a result - just not the one you want.

Ok you pedantic cunt, I think we will win.  :D

That's better!

Do you actually travel from Plymouth to games?

Travel up to Swindon night before to stay with the parents and then back to Saltash on the matchday evening

Fuck me!

Kudos, my friend!

Keeps the parents happy and splits the journey!

Think we will be doing well if 250 here today

Anyone know where TV highlights are being shown of the FA Cup games?

BBC tomorrow at 6:30pm

Town starting XI: Vigouroux, Barry, Branco, El-Abd, Turnbull, Kasim (C), Rodgers, Thompson L, Ojamaa, Obika, Ajose #STFC

TOWN SUBS: Belford, Ormonde-Ottewill, Brophy, Iandolo, Robert, Balmy, Hylton #STFC

Thanks

How is Rodgers still getting in the team ahead of Robert?

It's so that Daddy will keep loaning us players isn't it, that was the reason we signed him in the first place, someone ITK on the TEF told me ;)

But yeah, he's been a bit shit recently and doesn't really deserve his place, although I'm not sure it's a direct choice between him & Robert for central midfield

Recently?

Perhaps, maybe, Bob isn't fit enough to start yet? Not quite as interesting as a conspiracy theory I know, but hey ho.

What did Ling say before the game?

Daddy's in the stadium. Could explain why Rodgers is playing.

We shall fight on the beaches of the Southend pitch,
we shall fight on the shitty northern grounds,
we shall fight in the fields of god forsaken Bradford,
we shall fight in the hills of Oldham,
we shall never surrender...

3. Swindon have spent the first 3 minutes passing amongst themselves inside their own half #RAFC

Player not working again?

And how is Ojaama getting in he team?

1-0 down.

Scrappy goal to Rochdale.

sigh

Piss pots

Oh dear.

Ling out!

Vigs seems to drop a lot that result in us conceding doesn't he.

Look on the bright side, we know we are going to concede at some point (can't remember what a Town clean sheet looks like), at least this week we have an hour to try and equalise :)

Has anyone told our team you need a shot on target before you can score a goal?

Unless we're hoping for them to score for us

didn't know Rochdale's second name was corner..

Rochdale Corner fc

Oh shit, He has scored again.

Cue another bring our saviour back thread

The usual sack load of old boys scoring....including Jonathan Douglas and Callum Kennedy.

is it three goals in three games from dropped crosses? Dracula is still the best option mind.

Until we find replacements for Barry, Rodgers and Ojamma we'll struggle.

Half's like that make me wonder why I bother, fucking shit performance

well, on the plus side, erm. yeah. please hold...

You make mum and dad happy?

In previous games we've had the majority of possession, just done nothing with it.
Subtle change that we haven't even had the majority of possession today :(

Yep they continue in the belief that i go home to see them!

Rodgers/ojamma are still stealing a living, barry has been shit unfortunately as I thought he'd been decent recently. No service for okiba/ajose.

We don't look like scoring. Hooray second half to start COYR

can't we just stick two up front, bring on Robert and fucking go for it. it's cup ffs,

I'd rather lose 4-0 than another limped dicked, one or two shots,  piss poor load of bollocks

We're 1/2 way there!

Fucking appaling again.

Great halftime team talk  :clap:

Dear jesus. Vs Rochdale. At Spotland...

Always my view...lets get bombed out 4 zip but have four shots on goal than as it is....1 zip...100 zip...makes no odds!

2 - 0

FFS

game over...and jacket potatoes for dinner.

double whammy.

did go to the Greek Olive last night, very much enjoyed it other than it was a bit warm in there and they had a 4 track CD on loop. 4/5.

What was the food like?

Out of curiosity. Did you see if they had any high chairs? Would love to go there but would have to be with the kids.

All over...

Let's just see if we can get a shit on target.

woooo oooooo Fabian Robert

We are shit, aren't we

Yes

Ha ha.....

I don't think this set of players could even do that

At least Ling can see the job he's got on his hands.....
Let's hope we stay up next season  :badmood:

seemed pretty good to me, particularly given it was very reasonably priced.   before so went for a spicy sausage to start, Lamb with feta main. never had Greek before so nothing to compare with.

can't answer the highchair q, didn't see any and its not the biggest place, and was full of adults being 7pm on a Friday night.

Did they serve keo beer? You cannot beat a good souvlaki.

Oh I miss living in Cyprus...

Not sure, had a mythos

Pie was decent enough for 3quid

Andy Williams has scored a second goal (albeit against Stalybridge Celtic)

Penalty dale

Goal dale Lang hatrick

Fucking shit

3 - 0

Soon will be 4-0.

Well, this is going well isn't it..

Pen town

unfortunately Barry didn't walk and do is available on Saturday.

...

and then he wins a penalty. classic batch

Dead cat bounce

Time to concentrate on the league

Ajose goal 3-1

Let's concede 2 more to hold pattern. Thrashed in the first round!

3-1

yes. 3-1. phew.

Corner town

A shot on target

Or is that a shit...

3-4 anyone?

Definitely not

Still not sure they could get a shit on target, especially from 12 yards

First FA cup goal for nealy four years!

wealdstone maybe, they are 4-2 down. 

hth

Waiting for Burnley in my accy for a grand

Do I cash out for £65

Cash out

Hold on.

Oooooooh

oh ffs.

obika off, Hylton on.

I suppose we are protecting obika

65 quid is nothing

Better than fuck all

Calvin Andrew coming in for Rochdale, cue 4-1

A grand is even better

I'm wavering on £68.79

Two goalscorer off side could be 3-3

Did we just gave a goal disallowed?

Ling out.

I'm sure you've wasted more with Chis greyham

Tis true

How much did you put on?

Fiver

Cash out

I did for £68.79

goal... Burnley 90+5

well not really, obv, good cashout.
------
I know you can't always do well, but I'm pig sick of stfc, this season and my own fucking shadow right now

1 shot on target & that was from the penalty spot.

Really glad that we went all out for the win.

Wouldn't be so bad if we were shutting up shop to try and keep a clean sheet but we can't bloody defend either. 😩

We certainly are, Lingy may just regret his decision to take this job on!

Next Saturday, whatever anyone's views, we need to get behind the team and the new management.

The one thing that fans can determine is whether to support or barrack.

Nothing to lose he admitted himself he didn't think he'd get another, so he'll be paid up for 2.5 years, even if sacked in Jan/Feb which is highly likely unless he can work a miracle and get a competitive side out of what he's got to work with.

I am one of the most optimistic fans out there but honestly I can't see shit changing,
Why didn't we go for it today?!?!?!!

if only we'd had some kind of warning over the past year, we could have worked on it.

After hearing his post match interview.
Ling in,frec the rest of em out.
I wish him well.

Exactly, either work on defending to try and keep a clean sheet, or really go for it from the start & try and outscore the opposition. We don't appear to do either.

From the last two games I attended,  we just have to turn our play 90 degrees and we should be fine.
In all seriousness this is heading towards the dire football matchday experiences from 8 to 10 years ago.  Damned if I can be bothered to make the effort to turn up if the team can't.

We weren't great today. We've been far worse mind. If the officials have been any worse though, they should have there own message board.

at least Ling sees one up front is fucking shit and that passing without purpose equally so.

but worried Williams can't tbh

Penalties don't count as shots on target normally, So actually 0 again.

I think we had 1. from 50% of possession.

Kasim had another good game apparently. Disinterested as fuck, hes like another Aaron Brown, bad attitude and an overinflated opinion of his own ability

Chalky mentioned it in comms a couple of times, didn't like his body language at all and the fact that he didn't fight to get the ball back when he lost it. I felt as though he (Chalky) wanted to call Kasim a lazy, disinterested cunt but had to hold back.

that's because he's too good innit.

Aaron Brown/Jonathan Douglas all over.

I'd quite happily see him dropped alongside Rodgers and Ojamma. His attitude is fucking poor, and should not have the captaincy.

Who we playing centre mid next week then?

Yeah heard that, said he was looking at his body language with interest

Was an insult to Branco taking it off him imo, stuck two fingers up to him doing that after how well he was playing

Agreed.

Personally, Louis T and Gladwin.

Louis not available...

Who gave the post match interview, and what was said?

Ling.

said 2 up front was a must and will play that from now on.
passing needs a purpose.
Rochdale were better than us.
definite penalty and Barry should have been sent off.

can't remember if he mentioned defending.

Probably not because we didn't do any.

Well that was shit and a meh from me.

So so glad we didn't draw non league.

Kingy can hopefully get his teeth into it..... Halt the oil tanker...there is enough time but I am not prepared to stand for shit attitude and crap performances. Rodgers, Pyjama and Kasim all fall into that league.

If we are to turn this round getting, at the very least, a functioning defence is a must.

Attack Barry down the left, Branco feels he has to move over as well to cover his cock-ups and there's the main problem.

Get in a half decent left full back, not a midfielder or defender who can be squeezed in as an after thought and it'll plug that gaping weakness.

How Barry ever gets picked I'll never know.

unfortunate typo, or raising the dead..

Thanks Batch, will feel happier with 2 up front and that will help the defending a little as it means we can hold the ball up whilst we get our shape back . . . . perhaps!

As for Kasim - if we want to offload him in January (hopefully) - he has to play.

If clubs see him not being picked by us it hardly inspires confidence for any prospective buyer.

The only solace from today, Barnsley and Crewe, who atm are struggling alongside us, both got turned over by non-league.....imagine if we'd have been drawn v Salford, like Notts  :headhurts:

But he doesn't give a toss. Why should we pay to watch a wanker like that?

What's happened to Jordan Stewart? Only positive from the Millwall performance and haven't seen him since.

I agree totally. But if we want some cash for him he has to play.

His value must be plummeting by the game

As for Stewart - he's a must instead of Ojamma

Our best performance this season was the 1-0 win at Southend.......
       
Only one up front but shape and balance, and some individual quality.....and a chance for the newbies like Boo to settle in. I'd hazard a guess such a side might keep you up...the loss of Smith and Byrne, and then the injuries has just been too destabilising  :(

That's the key thing. It all went to shit once Byrne went. Some didn't rate him, but even if he wasn't playing well. he would still keep 2 defenders on guard, freeing up space elsewhere for others. We don't have that now.

The boy Stewart was earmarked as replacement, but yet to work out for him, obviously the staff see him in training etc and must know he's not yet ready.

I saw someone ask earlier, but do we know where he is?

no idea. he was picked for the paddy yoofs, but I assume that was next weekend?

They said he was there today in the stand

If Brophy can get picked - and look decent enough - can't see why Stewart isn't.

Having had Kingy (twice) and now Lingy, logic dictates that at some point in the future we'll have Mingy, Ningy, Pingy, Quinny (had him already) and Ringy as manager.  Personally (and we may have to wait some time for this) I'm very much looking forward to Zingy.

I wonder if we'll ever again have an FA Cup 2nd Round thread......

Football is shit, isn't it.  I dream of the day that we stop falling at the first hurdle to the likes of ####ing Rochdale in the Cup.

Roll on 2016/17.

Think we might see a change to 3-5-2/5-3-2. Would certainly help out our centre backs who are constantly exposed by full backs being beaten so easily.

Anybody know which formations Lingy used in his previous jobs?

If we go 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2 then it should cut out the sideways stuff.  Yes, I'm including the keeper.

But not the backwards stuff....

I think Power will have to eat a shit sandwich ref the style of play if we keep dishing this shit up!

Typo.....although a Ouija board would of set up a better side at the end of Coopers tenure!

We could employ the De Lorean factor and advance backwards through the alphabet as well.

I'm looking forwards to Fingy.

Oh, we had him didn't we. Paul Hart.

I loved living in Cyprus.. love the Keo beer.. with halloumi & lunza baguette with olive oil - perfect.

Tried the Greek Olive for the first time a few weeks ago. Having come back from Crete the weekend before I have to say that it is amazingly authentic. I even tried my rubbish Greek out on the staff and they fawned over me for trying. Particularly the dark haired waitress in her thirties  8)

I think that they are Cypriots though but that's cool.

It's the number one restaurant in Swindon on Trip Adviser by the way. Worth a visit definitely.

Crete was where I realised I wasn't young anymore. Mistakenly went to Malia, and was in bed before 11 each night. The 2 years before were In Playas del Americas, and Paphos and I ripped the arse out of those. It happened so quickly nurse.

We need a night out Sutton. Get you back to your yoof mate

Lovely feeling,not being humiliated in the fa cup ,n'est-ce pas?

magic of the FA Cup my arse

Actually I have a plan. You need to come to Scunny next weekend sans children. We have a night out planned. You need to book an hotel though as you are not staying at mine. The last time I was generous enough to do that the hairy faced drunken wanker stumbled into both of my daughter's bedrooms and gave them nightmares for weeks.

I was not popular for many a moon...

:)

I'd question whether a few others are ready yet or is it that they're just totally shit? 

Completely rhetorical  :clap:

Apparently we took the lowest ever away attendance to Rochdale.

Things really are looking up.

We deal in facts here. Apparently doesn't cut it anymore. New rule.

When regurgitating 'facts' from opposition fans, apparently seems appropriate.

Do you know what has really pissed me off the past dozen games?

There's always a fucking tweet from Barry - not the island, mind you, the island is of some use.

Ok, here's a fact. Frogs do actually fall from the sky.

http://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/climate-weather/storms/rain-frog.htm (http://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/climate-weather/storms/rain-frog.htm)

Sorry, my amphibiaphilia is bubbling up to the surface again  :(

Debatable. What's he said though?

Fans were great safe journey home

Oh come on. Have you never been buried up to your neck in the sand?

Talk about living...

I don't live too far away from there, I heard it un-ironically called barrybados the other day  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Did you enjoy Thursday nights fireworks display Ells?

He he, you're lining them up Ells  :D

What was the figure we took?

Haha not close enough to see those, I'm nearer Swansea. Most of the fireworks here were on Wednesday for some bizarre reason, which I put down to "being Welsh."

Back in Saltash, cba to read through. We were shit throughout, no supply up front and we were back to looking dodgy at the back.

Kasim, ojamma, rodgers and Barry were shite, the rest not much better. We made Rochdale look half decent.

Fair play to those who travelled up, any number given?

it's no skegvegas

87 or 78 out something like that.

hth

Barry's more like scagvegas 👀

Just got back, that was as shit as anything we've played this season. Ojamaa, Rodgers, Barry and Balmy are non-league standard players, Kasim could not give a fuck.

Decent atmosphere from the Town fans today, it was a very low turnout (150-200) but we made some noise. There's normally a few that travel up on the train to Northern games but we didn't see any on the way up!

Bumped into some nutty United fan on the way back, "Are you Swindon fans then?", "Yep", "My mum died in Swindon". He then said to someone who had gone red in the face from drinking that they looked like they had thrush on their face.

I think I could be joining Kasim in the 'couldn't give a fuck'  camp.

Start coffee mornings Audrey. We could all sit around and moan about our delinquent useless football club

That would need one big kitchen!

I think what you're referring to has already been done, TT. It's called "the pub"

Fair play to anyone who took the time to travel today after the shit we've been watching lately, especially you travelling from Saltash, I'm finding it difficult to travel to the CG these days let alone making the effort to attend away games.
Regarding the poor defensive record we need to look right at the back,  That useless cunt Vigouroux has got to go,  How many more fuck ups is he going to be allowed to make before we fuck him off ????,   He's cost us more points this season than any other player on the pitch. No wonder Liverpool let us have him, or is it the same story as Rogers -  small print says we have to play him - Can't see any other reason for us playing him - Get him out.

Hi ya but bay?

What does bay mean?

Very unfair about Vigs! I feel he has been a great addition to the squad and when you compare him to Belford he looks like
Buffon. The player I am more sceptical about is Barry. I feel he would make David Duke look like Roberto
Carlos. On a scale of 1 to diabolical how dreadful was Barry today?

Have to agree that Vigouroux is a liability, he's making mistakes every game.

I'd give Barry a 4, can't fault his effort but he is a woeful footballer.

It is an old reference to when the Welsh mining community went on their annual holidays by train to Porthcawl. It be came known as hi ya butt bay. "Hi ya butt " being a localised greeting, as in hello me old china or watcha mate, hello me lovlies etc.

I'm familiar with the "butt" as in "hiya butt" but never heard the bay bit. You really do learn something every day on the TEF!

Barry has to go. Someone needs to raise it on the next phone in surely?! I would if I managed to get through. I wonder if anyone has actually seen any potential at all in him?!!

Gareth? 👀

If it's of any interest whatsoever highlights are on Beeb.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34685705

There were 3 players on the line for their first goal....

I think he could be a decent back up for the odd game but he shouldn't be playing as many games as he has had too due to injuries.

Im more irritated by ojamma, rodgers and kasim.

Even with the tainted eye of extreme nepotism I doubt Gareth has seen any talent in his nephew.

Neither did i and south wales & the valleys were part of my sales area until four years ago. The guy who took over from me when i moved areas was born at RAF Wroughton Princess Alexandria Hospital, now lives in Caerphilly considers hinself Welsh and told me this astounding fact. Going to Bracla next weekend for a family gathering (wifes side of the family), looking gorward to it TBH.

Rodgers and Ojamma are joke players too but at least Rodgers has the odd moment of brilliance. Ojamma is still living off the the glory of his carefully edited YouTube archive and Barry is like the fat boy who is the sponsors son in Mike Bassett manager. Even a disinterested Kasim looks better than most of our team. Wish we could work out what's going on there.

I was being facetious really :) I don't think he'd be here if absolutely nobody saw potential in him though.
As PlymRed pointed out, several players have been somewhat unfairly thrust into first team action that they're clearly not ready for. I can't imagine the plan was to have a guy with 0 experience play so many minutes, asked to play in a variety of positions and as part of a defence that is about as solid and consistent as a cupasoup. I find him less frustrating than Ojama who at least has some sort of reasonable background in football.


Brackla, as in Bridgend? I know that area very well, in fact I'm going there next week. Small world!

Penn Y Bont, staying with Lenny Henry for the night..... Let you know the venue, it is a pub, which one i'm not sure, drop in and i'll buy you a Brains or Felinfeol pint.

Pen y bont, Literally means end of the bridge :) not a great place but if you are going to go there Brackla is reasonable.  Quite a few Brains pubs round there, not too bad. A pint of Brains Bitter is definitely preferable to some of the Arkells stuff!

I've never heard the bay bit either & I'm 100% Welsh having been born here & lived in the Valleys all my life!!

The lack of fucks given towards the actual thread title is hilarious.

Ojamaa is the most annoying for me. Clearly came with a rep & some pedigree & either isn't being utilised properly or just can't be arsed as the talent is clearly there. Rodgers is neat & tidy & is ok to bring on to help close games out when we're winning as his ball retention is very good but when we need to break teams down & penetrate he offers very little & at times has been a passenger this season. If he keeps Robert out next week then something is clearly wrong. As for Barry I've seen enough of him to conclude that he isn't good enough. As somebody mentioned earlier so many attacks come down our right hand side & Branco's performances have suffered as a result of having to cover Barry on numerous occasions. Sooner NT is back the better.

What's your links to Swindon?

The most depressing section was the piece on Greek cuisine.  When we won 16 home games on the bounce under Macari nobody had even heard of Halloumi let alone actually eaten the tasteless, utterly pretentious and over-rated Eastern Med crap.

I disagree. There are no really bad real ales from any brewery. The problem is how they are kept in the cellar. Arkells when not kept well has the tendancy to be gash but then i habe had other gash beers too.

My uncle, who is a lifelong Town fan & lived in Ramsbury, married into my family. He got to know I loved my football & took me to a game when I was 8. I was hooked & have been going ever since. Had a season ticket since 96/97!!!!!

Nowt wrong with Arkells, tasted a lot worse whilst travelling around the country.

nope, I've only very rarely drunk larger for about 15 years.

it comes down to personal taste, and I can't stand 2b or 3b which tastes to me like I'd imagine liquid shit to taste. hurricane is alright at a push.

on the local big brewers, give me a 6x or gem any day.

Lager it's lager

Having just heard a small part of Lingy's post match interview I was pleasantly surprised by his honesty in the summing of the performance - it was not good enough, areas we need to work on!  Our previous incumbent would have been telling us we deserved something from the game and everybody worked hard for each other - which clearly has not been the case!

The true test is whether he's still as honest after he's been here a while and the team's perceived as his.

Five pints of Kingsdown v Five pints of Carling Pisswater, no contest. Kingsdown everytime.

Corrected my post typo for you.

Beer makes me guff big time

Went to watch Dukla Prague yesterday who lost 1-0 and were awful. Nice ground but only 1500 people there. At least you can drink at the game. The reason I post in this thread as it was like watching Swindon at times, clueless.

But they've got a song about their Subbuteo away kit.

What have we got?

Abba came from Swindon.

Well their fanzine was started here by the original owners of Acorn Press.

I thought is was Highworth.

sounds fishy...

There was something in my English class a while back that mentioned Swedes and Finns. When I explained that Swedes come from Sweden, one of the lads said, 'Isn't that your team?'

I had that from 2 pissed up pikeys in Crawley. They really couldn't work out why Sweden were in Crawley.

In fact That could be a challenge for Jay, a huge Swedish flag, that would get some head scratching going

I like it! JAY!!! You reading this? Where do I donate?

How about a job lot of horned Vikings helmets. When can we have our next 'Away Day'?

And it's Sweden Town, Sweden Town FC.......

Vikings did not have horns on their helmets.

You are my Sweden, my only Sweden,
You make me happy, when nights are long,
AND DAYS ARE SHORT!

chim chimney, chim, chimney, chim, chim charoo, we hate those Bastards in Norway.

actually, we can't be Sweden, they do play in yellow and blue.

We could come out to this.

 This would be better for Lingy's first home game....

FFS Reg, you've ruined the momentum..

That crap, uncomfortable in front of the cameras dancing going on behind her is amazing.

At least Norway are red...

I was going to put a song up for reg, and for the first time ever I've found a song not on youtube. Better dig my copy out.

Well this seems to suggest otherwise.

Well if you don't want Sandy Shaw, how about a bit of Chuck Berry....
