timlin should have been sent off for a 2 footed challenge on branco but showed a nice touch by applauding the town fans at the end.i remember he was always the first to acknowledge us dutring his spell at town


I'll never forget Timlin for his inability to say the word 'philosophical' once in a pre-season interview. He tried a few times and then just gave up.

First half was dull but we passed the ball well without looking threatening. Neither keeper had anything to do.

Second half was better, Byrne drove forward and slipped in Robert who finished with aplomb. After that it was a bit backs to the wall, Southend missed a sitter and Vigoroux made 2 excellent saves to keep us in it. The ref played 9 minutes of injury time for some reason but we held out.

I was impressed with the work rate of the whole team in very hot conditions. The midfield were excellent, Traore probably my man of the match although Vigoroux deserves plaudits for his saves.

Sadly Nothing really came off for Smith today despite working hard. Miles came on to a here's welcome!

New songs for Robert and Vigoroux very welcome!

Robert - use the "Rupert the Bear" song. Newcastle used it for Phillipe Albert a few years ago.

Vigoroux - use the "Figaro" song. Always nice to inject a bit of opera...

Can't you do something with 'daddy cool' for Vigoroux?

Surely the Vindaloo song is a better fit for Vigoroux...

We got a keeper from Liver-pool
He's Swindon's num-ber one
He's eats his curry so very hot
It gives him a, sore bum..
Vigo-roux, Vigo-roux
Vigoroux, Vigoroux, nah, nah

To the tune of 'long haired lover from Liverpool':

'Weeeeee've got a loan goal-keeper from Li-verpool...'. Can't be assed to go on.

Well done to the Town fans who attended, but I thought that was a shit turnout numbers wise tbh. Southend seafront was rammed. What a beautiful day. I managed to have a paddle before the game.

I agree adje, but to be fair it did cross my mind that Kasim might see red for a similar challenge late on but he got a yellow as well so at least the ref was consistent. On reflection he was actually quite reasonable.

Also agree that Timlin acknowledging the Town fans was a nice touch.

Making up songs for players is fine and I'm all for it but some of my favourites are the spontaneous ones. Such as, leaving the ground yesterday...

"We kept a clean sheet, we kept a clean sheet, how shit must you be, we kept a clean sheet!"

Self deprecating, simple and amusing - good work  Clap

Poor Timlin spent the summer of 2011 being publicly positive over PDC's appointment and lasted one game.

Familiar, to the point, easily implemented.

You'll rarely get anyone singing along where there is anything approaching "lyrics" or a "new tune".

Yeah I actually meant they got their new songs yesterday. The Robert one was inspired.

I can't actually remember the Vigoroux one now!
