He has this consistent thing about us being underdogs to Cheltenham, seems to trigger lots of people, the more it sets people off the more he does it.
That may be true- I still take the view that, as trolling goes, it is at the gentle end of the spectrum.

I honestly didn't realise until i listened to the LSPC that we had never won at Cheltnum. I knew we hadn't for a while (hence the hoodoo) but didn't realise that we had never (ever) won at their place.
Quite bonkers really.. I wonder if there are any other teams (bar the recent new additions to the EFL over the past few years e.g. Salford) that we have a similar record against, having played them, say more than 10-15 times..

We are in terms of results against them.

Get a grip people. Reg isn't trolling. This is trolling. Ells on Sunday, December 6, 2015, 21:29:13Have you ever tried disagreeing with someone without childish ad hominem? Ironside on Sunday, December 6, 2015, 21:31:15Alright, calm down princess and don't get your knickers in a twist about things you don't understand, there's a good girl...

Here's our bogey team record... but a lot of cup games on there.... http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/StatAttack/TeamLeagueTable.asp?Type=WorstRecords

On the default settings of 50+ teams that is actually all of the teams we've played 50+ games agains. So even though oxford is on that list, it's still our 6 best record against teams we've played that often.

There really is no comparison between Reg and JTR - the former at least puts his points across in a reasoned manner and appears win, lose or draw. JTR will simply spout pure negativity and is only seen when we lose. This was quite rightly pointed out by several TEF’rs last week which led to the toys being well and truly thrown out of the proverbial pram.
With regards to last night - it was pleasing to see the reaction from the fans at full time. A similar performance last season wouldn’t have received that.
The match has been well covered although I think the previous poser who claimed we created 5/6 clear cut chances is pushing it slightly. Never the less, as others have stated we will win more than we lose if we play like that regularly.
Another forward as an option off the bench is a must for me - I don’t expect a seasoned veteran but I’d be happy with a talented kid from the top flight. It isn’t Twine’s fault that he finds himself in his current position, but he simply is not good enough and offers nothing in terms of physical presence. I’m confident Wellens thinks the same and we will see another addition in due course.

But JTR is a longstanding poster, who clearly cares about STFC, if she can't come to the TEF to have a bit of a moan about a performance, then it's a poor show

I have just looked at posts by who I assume is JTR. Again, were they that bad?

I don’t think it matters if someone has been a member for 10 years or 10 days...if they are constantly posting negativity then they have to expect to be picked up on it from time to time. It’s not to say they have to stop - if it really offends individuals then they can simply use the ignore function (as has been well documented today ) JBZ - it’s surely no coincidence that this was noticed by several TEF’rs

Bogey teams as a term only really applies to a few, and in our case number one is Chelsea, but it doesn't mean much as it's a long record mostly based on cup games when they've been higher and only 4 league games. Numb are in a class of their own, and that it's so recent and so weird, is what grinds most people's gears. Crawley is a bit odd too, as at first when they had Evans as gaffer, we'd beat them, which was the sort of reverse Evans bogey in action, but since that early success, we've quietly gone about struggling to beat them.

To repeat my previous observation (in a non-troll like way) I get the impression (as an infrequent poster) that any view that might suggest that we may not have it all our own way this season is unwelcome in this forum. That strikes me as somewhat 'unhealthy'.

In this case JTR wasn't happy that Yates had got red.

You will find plenty of regular members making negative observations when there are negative observations to be made. Myself included. I can only think of one member in recent history that was 100% positive and he was criticised as much as those that are 100% negative. (I forget his name now). *Edit. Gillman, his name was Gillman. Or something like that. Come to think of it, he was lambasted more than the likes of reg are. Most members here are balanced, they will be critical when they see fit, and give credit where it's due. Most will just say it as they see it, whereas some seem to have an agenda regardless of how well (or otherwise) things are going. JTR was in a category of people that you would barely see until something negative happened (like a loss). To be fair, she was far from the worst offender in that regard, but it was still very noticeable. At least to the people that noticed it.

Looking on the bright side, if Bury get slung out then only team will be relegated from L2.
