I notice that Roberts played the through-ball to Collins for the first goal. Great to finally get a glimpse of what we've been missing with Roberts all season.

Its obvious Ritchie was holding him back!

Should also mention that Tranmere should have had a penalty at 2-1, for a push so big it could have been seen from space. Oh well Well, we are cheating Swindon aren't we? AKA Swindle Town. We deliberately cut off the electricity so the lights went out when we were 2-1 down in '93 and we only thumped them 5-0 at our place because we were cheating. It therfore stands to reason that we were only able to beat them last night because we had bribed the ref. Simples.

Agree with nearly everything I've read on here.
Cracking game & an occasion I was proud to be a part of. The game itself has been well documented, it had everything & the last 5 minutes were extraordinary, it seemed to take an age for the 4th official to put his board up.
Wes' save followed by "that goal", along with a cracking atmosphere will stay with me for a long time, but the players actions at the end of the game demonstrated a solidarity that gives me hope that regardless of the off field shambles, we can still win this league!
Long trip, but so glad I went!

Paolo quitting could be a blessing - the inspiration the players need to really go for it and clinch promotion. I was quite depressed about the situation until the game last night but the players' reaction and togetherness has really given me a lift. I have a feeling we're going up as champions again.

Just got back in from a fantastic night on the Wirral. Apologies if this has already been said, but the spirit and courage of the players in light of what's gone before was unbelieveable - they were an absolute credit to themselves and our club. Particularly how much effort they put in to the last ten minutes when we were hanging on a bit. The way they celebrated with us at the end (I think / hope) showed how much the win meant to them. If we can salvage anything from the wreckage of the last few days, tonight we can feel justifiably proud of our team. That's all.
Ps - hope SSN show our third goal - was better than Alonso's in the Cup a few years back!
Great to see you again after all of those years. Loved the celebration and watching that goal almost in slow motion. Another memorable night "on the road" watching the Town, even sweeter with the current shit we are putting up with. That near own goal - That poor yoing lad at the back didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the abuse being dished out by the Town fans. If that would have gone in would have been on the xmas dvd or worst own goals for sure. See you again Mate "up North" and lets not hope so long next time. As you noticed none of the old gang were travelling last night.

I just noticed that, somewhat randomly, Tranmere come out to the theme from the Rockford Files

Good strike by Roberts for the 2nd goal, pitch looked awful.

Just read this on the Tranmere forum
'Swindon are top dogs, it won't last, all their backroom staff including the guy in charge last night have walked, they are in financial @#$%& land, what you saw last night was a group of players amongst the highest paid in league one, breaking all the rules, why has the Football league not ratified the new board, because the wage bill has to be cut, staff have all gone next it will be players or Admin.'
A lot of bullshit on there, quiet funny to read through
