Swindon Town v The Slavetraders Official Matchday Thread

Say what you want, but he is a decent manager. Granted his achievements will (and should) be undermined by the fact they can spunk money no one else in the league really can but you still have to win games and they are a decent side.

I'd probably be bitter if I'd just watched my world beaters get passed to death.

Would have been good to see Cotterill and Paolo on the touchline together last Saturday.

Anyone would think that they were the first and only team to have ever lost to a perceived dodgy decision.

I'm sure some of the fuckwits actually believed they would go through the season unbeaten.

They keep saying that they haven't played well yet this season but maybe that's the best they can be.

Hope Preston do 'em over next

No, because I'd rather win, thanks

Watch this at about 3 minutes: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04nv7ft/bbc-points-west-16112014

Looks like their manager wanted to stab the referee.

I had a great day Saturday and had a about a crate of Red Stripe to boot. So all in all, I had a great Saturday.

Just spent 5 minutes scanning their forum. Was quite a good laugh. But I'm done now. They're making so many threads about STFC related business that all come back to the same things. I'm purely focussed on Saturday against a Posh team looking to put things right so it's going to be tough.

We'll have to spend a week or two putting up with their fans on Twitter giving it all that. But I'm confident we can get the three points.

Did have one last scan...

Reporting it to the police? Are they that pathetic? Flares on the pitch = OK. Player celebrating = Violent. Fucking spastics of the highest order.

"Injustice of the defeat"

Our sixteen shots to their four.

"This is getting a bit sad now chaps. We're starting to look like a bunch of snivelling tell-tales now, running to teacher."

Couldn't have put it better myself. I love how football crowds (ours included) spout vile shit towards anyone with the temerity to be on the other team and then get all Mary Whitehouse if one of them so much as celebrates in their eyeline.

We've had a few in previous years- I seem to remember Julian Bennett getting booked for it playing for Forest, I don't think he was even on the pitch at the time. And I think Casper Ankegren may have thrown a bottle back into the Town End when playing for Leeds- that was a bit naughty mind.

I was about to post the same quote from seemingly the only sensible voice over there....fuck me you've had opposition players winding up the TE since the year dot....all a bit pantomime, and should be viewed that way.

I'd have loved it even more if we had won with a dodgy pen as well!

I was on BBC Radio Wiltshire on Saturday morning and I'm pretty sure I predicted that their post-match reaction would be like this. I might have forgot which would be a shame.

As many know, my wife is a very proud Bristol City supporter and she's always told me that City fans react a little crazily to losing. Worse than most.

They're quite intense.

The biggest shame on Saturday is that it didn't bucket it down

[donkey]

Just listened to it myself. It's almost Keeganesque in its comedy value.

Having ranted on the best bit has to be:

Interviewer: Talk me through the way you saw it.

Cotterill: Well I can't do that cause i didn't see it but....

He goes on to says that there wasn't three different formations, by explaining that they only changed formation twice...

I'll just leave the stats of these game to explain all you need to know.

If you can handle the league 1 forum there is a 9 page thread which is quite laughable too.

http://www.thefootballforum.net/index.php?/topic/228999-roundbout-robins-v-unbeaten-robins/page-9

On the last 2 pages, a Preston fan and a Rotherham fan have made neutral and fair comments.

And Forest fans.
