As always here are a few quotes from our opponents from yesyedays forum.
MK fans unhappy with the ref even though he gave them a goal that was blatantly offside, many saying th penalty was way outside of the area...it wasn't.
Some saying Agard was held at every corner, the exact opposite was true with Aneke holding our defenders and kicking them at every opportunity.
Moaning about Vigs winding them up and timewasting, the one makor incident they moan about the ball boy actually threw the ball 20 yards wide of him which the ref missed and yet Vigs was booked, totally wrongly.
They are an irate bunch of moaners
with only a couple genuinely appreciating that we were much the better side.
(the ref) He was an utter wankstain
I hope he feels bad about his performance today.
What can you say? league two refs are shockingly shit, this one currently holds the shit stick, how could he miss Agard trying to be undressed by their defenders at every corner?
Their goalkeeper pushed time wasting to the limit throughout the game, and with this going unpunished continued. Given that the ref didn't book him he happily carried on - safe in the knowledge that until he was booked he could do what he wished.
Then the crowd got upset and, not unreasonably, gave the keeper stick - I know I did and so did my neighbours within the FC. Being a bit of a peacock, he reacted, and the Cowshed reacted too - with an intruder making it out of the stand to the edge of the pitch to give him what for.
Had the ref been stronger and booked him early on none of this - perhaps - would have happened. Absolutely the keeper shouldn't have to deal with pitch invaders, but neither he nor the ref can be completely surprised at the reaction their combined behaviour provoked
Yet another load of complete shite
Tisdale is basically league two
Deficient in just about every respect
Outplayed outclassed outfought out of playoffs
I'm not sure what their keeper did after their penalty (probably celebrating to our fans) but it was laughable that some of our fans were so irate. Obviously he was time wasting and we were booing him so he took the chance to wind us up.
It's all just a pantomime
I didn't like the 'calm down you lot' hand signs at all, but in the last analysis isn't that what a keeper will/should do?
It's not as if his manager is gonna give him a bollocking for going to ground/replacing the ball's position etc the whole time is it?
A team needs to win and these days every little helps (not trying to be trite here).
F- 'em they ain't going up either
At the moment you have a situation where the Ref wait until 75+ minutes have gone before booking them, by which time the 'keeper knows he isn't going to get a 2nd yellow so carries on regardless. What I will also add is it didn't change that Swindon were worthy winners yesterday.
he(Nicholls) was rooted to the ground and watched a slow motion daisy cutter slip into his net, he was piss poor today

I know it was horribly slow but it was unsighted. No keeper is going to watch it roll in out of choice.
It was slow because Doughty was composed and knew exactly what he intended to do to beat the keeper, like his penalty
Chuks might do well to take some learnings rather than just fuckin Welly the ball in the general direction of the goal .
A swindon fan said to me on our walk to Fenny station that he thought the 'keeper should have got to their 2nd. I completely disagreed with him because from where I was I thought it had gone in to the top corner at pace, having seen it again today on Ifollow, he was correct.
Harsh to blame him for the first, but the second (although it swerved) should have been saved.
I loved the penalty.
One such thing came to light and made me stop and think yesterday, the comment was, “We are an average team that just got lucky mid-season, and that lucks ran out”. I can’t speak for everyone but that seems not too far from the truth to me
Watching yesterday there were a few things that really struck me, Swindon obviously taking a leaf out of a few other clubs’ books were in our faces all game, they never once in the first half let us play it out from the back, although that did alter in the second half when the game became a bit more stretched. They closed us down so quickly we were not allowed to build any sort of tempo, unlike our players that seemed more than content to let Swindon have as much time as they liked on the ball, and when they got to our area we had nine players in the box and Swindon players roamed around outside unhindered like lions selecting a wildebeest for their supper from the herd. It was truly awful and surely to God Tis and Mel can see this can’t they, to me it looks so screamingly obvious, but no we just carry on heaping pressure on ourselves with no outlet up field because it’s our defensive strategy and we pull everyone back.
the ref, ok he was very poor allowing Aneke and Agard to be pulled about all game and then booking Aneke when he reacted, and yes we had a shout or two for fouls in the box, but that’s not the reason we are sinking like a stone, to apportion any blame in that direction would just be papering over the ever increasing cracks in our game.
I shouldn’t really sign off without congratulating Swindon Town, they did their homework on us and in turn did a job on us and fully deserved to win. They got under our skin and none more so than their keeper, and you cannot blame him for wasting time, the ref should have picked him up much earlier than the 91st minute, and wouldn’t we have done the same if we had been in front and cheered it accordingly.
If they have to rely on Moore to win them promotion then they are really in trouble, I thought he is up there in the worst 3 or 4 keepers I have ever seen in a Swindon shirt....good luck with that!
Lee Nicholls not as good as some of us thought, or just going through a dodgy spell.......Stuart Moore anyone ?
And finally looks like Vigs made them upset their bottles of milk, well done Vigs!
Absolutely knob, hope we come up against him again, he'll get plenty!!
He's created bad karma for his next existence.....
Nasty man precious...we hates him forever.
According to some folk on the Facebook page his actions put children at risk, with some vowing never to return as they felt unsafe at the supposed family club.
What exactly did the 'keeper do? Obviously I saw him constantly going to ground to smother the ball, taking his kicks from the opposite side to where the ball went out of play and generally wasting time, but the response by the 14 yr olds at the front of the cowshed gave me a laugh. I thought maybe he had photos of their Mums in compromising positions with a variety of livestock or something.
Shouldn’t have given him the reaction he was looking for. Was clearly enjoying riling up the Cowshed and was doing at excellent job at it.
