posted this on myonlyswindon so thought i would on here too as quite interesting few points

As i think a couple of others have briefly mentioned about 20 or 30 people stayed behind the arkells stand after the match and i found it quite informative so thought i'd post a brief summary on here.

First out was Carson.......Can I just say the bloke is a disgrace, he comes accross as an arrogant waste of space and showed he doesn't care about the club. Someone mentioned there's too much secrets at the club and Carson told him to F Off and grab hold of him n stuff. Every other word was F'ing this or F'ing that. So Carson can get out the club, he does nothing for STFC.

Next out was Devlin....Firstly he apologised n seemed abit down and stuff. Then he admitted that certain players had let the club down and checked with the physio after the match to see if players really were injured. He basically said aswell that the loan situation and squad situation at the start of the season is why we are where we are. Also King will be paid by us until September as the terms of his contract mean that whenever he is sacked he gets a years pay after this date.
Devlin wasn't at all impressed with the players effort.
***The big news though was he said that progress has finally been made with the council and over the next 2 years changes to the CG should finally start to happen.
Devlin also said some dodgey building crook had approached the club about investing, he found out he was dodgey after doing a search on google.

Finally Peacock came out and fair play he was talking to us for about half hour. He was down like the rest of us and without mentioning and particualar names he slated some players saying certain players need to learn how to do things. Also he was angry that he see's players in training doing things in training, playing well n stuff, then as soon as they get to a match their awful.
So I dont think certain players will get a christmas card off him.
He said he'll definately be here next season, his knee needs an op and he refused huddersfield, southend and wallsall amongst others to come to us.

All in all quite insightful really

I do fucking love Peacock.  I feel really bad for spending 90 minutes at Reading vs. Sheffield Wednesday shouting at abuse at him.  The guy obviously really cared.

We heard Carson said he didn't "want Iffy as manager anyway" passing the blame onto Wills....

I've never liked carson. Since when does he go to any swindon games and showed interest in our problems ? He does not give a rats arse. More interested in his horses.

Hmm, seems odd that the fans would actually get answered for starters, having said that it doesnt tell me anything I didnt already know.....

It would be interesting to get the whole Peacock conversation though, but I can understand why you cant do it publically...

very interesting.

Peacock's a fuckin top bloke, wish we had 11 of him in the team. Glad to see he's commited to the cause, I've been very impressed with him since he joined.

in all honesty it's pretty much all stuff most of us knew but Peacock is a top bloke. it was a light hearted conversation which i think made Peacock forget he was talking to fans.

He wouldn't mention individual names as you'd expect but he was pretty annoyed and said he'll be straight home tonight no drinking or anything........a proper pro for once.

also slated some of the other players when he said when your bottom of the league it's not a good idea to be seen out drinking b fans.

So all in all he was honest which is all you can ask for.

Carson however is an evil little demon, someone asked him also where he was last saturday, at our match or the grand national, he answered with 'at the grand national obviously' and walked off laughing. he can fuck off

Devlin I've got a lot more respect for now, he didn't have spend half an hour of his evening with the fans

Peacock's ace, you could see today that he was getting pissed off with the other players not putting any effort in.

I'll answer that one:

Brown, Shakes, Benjamin, Pook, Nicholas AND Iffy have been seen out drinking a lot lately.

Cureton was also out last week.

When peacock came on , he started shouting and telling the players what to do and what not, he was really trying to get the spirit back up. He looked gutted at the end.

yeah the kind of names you'd expect......bit worried about Iffy to be honest, the job could be to big for him and with the drinking culture that already exists at the club he could turn to drink as a way of escaping...........afterall the names mentioned do it to escape the reality of being shit

it says it all, I think it was after an attack or maybe a corner, but Gurney and J.Smith were out of position and down the other end, but who wass it that ran all the way back with the man with the ball....our unfit injured striker for fuck sake....

yeah i thought exactly the same at the time he ran the full pitch length to catch that bloke..........to be honest my only critisism of Peacock is that he does all this hard work, maybe needs to stay up top abit more where he will get goals. But equally if he doesn't do the hard work, noone else will so in our situation  sadly Peacock has to.

What a legend the 'Peaconator' is becoming  :D  Top bloke!
He definetly needs a song.

As soon as he came on earlier, he livened it up and we generally attacked with more force, when he was present.
His passion really shows and when one of our players (Can't remember who....) lost the ball on the edge of the oppositions box, it was Peacock who bothered to sprint all the way back to our own area, to tackle the player! It wasn't even his job to do, but he obviously knew the rest wouldn't bother....AND he's still carrying an injury!

i wish i could have spoke to cureton.  :( that would have been funny, and an angry conversation.

peacock has been a legend since he came really.

Top bloke. So gald to hear he understands the fans point of view. Maybe he can kick something into the team before Ashton Gate. Otherwise we will be totally humiliated

i think in all honesty Ashton gate will be a fiasco. It will be a very big crowd (there last home game of the season) and we all know we dont play well in front of a crowd as the players bottle it.

Hopefully will just be a supporters day out, cause certainly i can see the result being some what depressing

:(  I just made a huge mistake.

Went on the city forum and Now I am fuming and annoyed! They are laughing and taking the piss big time (to be expected). They think they will thrash us and can't wait to see us all crying after the game - one of them has 'thankyou andy king' as his signature. For that reason I fucking hope we out sing them and show them up even if we do lose. Bastards. I think I'm going to go to sleep now.

we will outsing them, they have 30 annoying gay chavs for singers, we will be fine.

Sadie never normally sings, but I tell you what I fucking will at this once.Loud and Proud :mrgreen:  Ear plugs at the ready.

cheers for that glos. i was outside for awhile but got fed up with waiting so went home.

frankly i'm shocked carson was even there today, his attitude doesn't surprise me. he's a truly horrible little man.

devlin is a very honest man who always has time for the supporters, as such he gets a lot of respect which i personally feel he deserves.

Agree Sonic, I was outside a little while but then went off to try and calm my rage down.

Peacock is fast becoming a legend, and at the other end of the scale Carson is a cunt.

And 'A drinking culture at the club!' We sound like the Arsenal (I wish) :(

have to say fair play to Peacock and Devlin for there comments to the fans. Both ARE top blokes and we are lucky to have them.

Carson, we have all known he isn't a true Swindon fan and today his reaction to the fans has proved this. What a cunt and he must be replaced/shot/stabbed/thumped etc etc

Bollocks. You weren't there and that's not how it happened.

It is pretty much exactly how it happened.  Ok voices were raised, he was surrounded and that bloke in the stripey shirt maybe was taking it abit far but Carson should have enough public relation skills to deal with that.

That one young lad said there's too many secrets at the club and the next thing you know Carsons grabbed his arm and shouting at him saying there's no secrets.

And as for walking of laughing after saying he was at the grand national last week, yeah great figure head for the club, he was a disgrace. under no circumstances tell fans to fuck off, after all thats what started Kings downward spiral and loss of popularity

Aye but what do you lot expect from him?

to maybe be professional like Devlin, He should realise that feelings were running high as we'd just been relegated. But Carson came accross like he didn't care as he probably doesn't and just added fuel to the fire and angered people more

 :shock:

ok fair point I think everyone already knew he couldn't care less

Doesn't he commentate on the grand national though? I mean I didn't actually watch it but that is his main job so he'd have to be there.

Carson is irrelevant anyway, he's only the figurehead. Makes no difference whether he stays or goes.
