Good morning Banbury

I was lucky to be able to see the whole match streamed to sunny NZ live...

What a wonderful advert for division 3 football.

Two very good footballing sides with a touch of superb skill for the Town goal.

Debate about sending off...a goal that was offside but wasn't !!!

Swindon played better football on Saturday with a more balanced side including a manager who seems to have a real desire to take this team forward..

All this after all the "dark" goings on a month or so ago.

Surprised, yes overjoyed in fact.

Been down in Bournemouth for the weekend, so watched the game down their...good point after going down to 10 men, thought we played really well 1st half, Kasim was quality and personally don't think it was a red card (doubt it'll be overturned though). Looking forward to going to Wolves next Saturday...C.O.Y.R!!!

I was over in Achill in deepest darkest Ireland for the weekend and the missus' dad kindly recorded the match for me. After watching the first half I thought we were excellent and passed the ball around really well. Kasim was brilliant and made one goal saving block as well, really putting his body on the line for the cause. I thought Pritchard was tricky and had their left back on toast. Ranger was playing the man up top role to perfection and had we gone in 2-0 up at half time it wouldn't have been undeserved.

Then Byrne got sent off and Dons equalised straight away so didn't bother watching the last half an hour as I was convinced we would go on to lose. Checking the internet for the score I breathed a huge sigh of relief to see we had 'clung on' to a draw, very happy with the result. The auld fella actually said that the quality and enjoyment of the game against Franchise was better than some of the previous Premier league games which are verging on teams being afraid to lose rather than going for the win (Man U v Chelsa and Liverpool v Man U I guess recent examples of big games being devoid of much happening).

Good start to a very tough month, hopefully we should be in high spirits for the Wolves match, they haven't had a game for 2 weeks so hopefully will be 'rusty'

It certainly is Chalkies, when the weather is nice, its so peaceful and picturesque.

And the local bar opens until whenever people want to leave, which is nice!

When I was out that way 30 years ago, it seemed like the 20th Century had only just arrived. I daresay though, such isthe pace of change in the modern world...the 21st has poked its nose in pdq.

Ireland still only has once pace, barely moving. Outside of the big cities, nothing much has changed.

Having lived in Co Kerry for 10 years 'things', as in infrastructure, have changed but the general outlook of the people has not.

They really have a 'don't give a fuck' attitude which I found refreshing

Something to do with Byrne's red card against Franchise and the FA saying bollocks to an appeal possibly?

Eh? I meant how did the FA/FL justify overturning that Walsall one.
