well....today has come and at the beginning of the season i remember looking at this one and going 'wow, we could send city down on that day'.....looks like that won't be happening though.

i don't know if im looking forward to this or not, we'll see come 4.45pm if i am or not! knowing the town today we'll win even though its too late.

Come on town, do something to be proud of today!  :beers:

Can't say I'm looking forward to it. IT would be nice to think that we could halt City's playoff push but our squads morale must be flat as a pancake.

Happy R day everyone :(

I really wanted to go, but my dad ain't going so no lift haha. Ah well, i would be amazed if we won today. We got to attack as we have nothing else to lose 4-3-3 formation for me.

my head hurts  :cry:

Jerel back in a 352.

Key factor will be how our fans react to the lads early on. Getting behind them will make all the difference.  Abuse, ridicule , booing etc if anything goes wrong won't help.

The common enemy is Brizzle. Lets wipe the smirk off their faces. :D

:D  I am fired up and the shirt is on and I've been humming only fools rush in all morning.

Bring it on! Oh ashton gate is full of knobs.....

Leaving in exactly 15 mins, we're following the shitheads up to trashton.

Please town, do this for us.

See you all there!

jesus, just looking at fixtures played on this day in the past on

http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk

last two, Swindon 1 Barnsley 2 29.04.00. Last home game of a depressing season that was.

Swindon 0 Portsmouth 2 29.04.95, confirmed our relegation that day.

How depressing.

Come on Town, let's have a much better performance today.

My IP's been banned, so any updates would be very muchly
appreciated . Cheers spazzers  :D

and Rooney probably out for the World Cup. What a day for football this is turning out to be  :(

Played a bit of decent football, got a corner.

what ?!!!  WHYY !!!

Ankle injury from a tackle. That's all I know. :cry:

Nanny McPhee shoots over from edge of area following break down the left by Diagourara.

Commentators currently praising Ifil.

NMH

Rooney stretchered off with foot injury.

Same foot he broke in Euro 2004

England striker Wayne Rooney may be a doubt for the World Cup after suffering a foot injury for Manchester United in their loss at Chelsea on Saturday.
Rooney was stretchered off at Stamford Bridge six weeks to the day before England's opening game of the World Cup against Paraguay on 10 June.

The 20-year-old was left clutching his right foot in agony after a challenge by Paolo Ferreira.

He broke the same foot against Portugal in the Euro 2004 quarter-final.

Rooney is seen as being key to England's hopes at the World Cup in Germany and any concerns over his fitness would add to England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson's injury worries.

Torquay up at Carlsle  :shock: still plenty of time left

That puts Oxford in the bottom two I think

Brown shot saved by the keeper - corner.

Corner wasted.

12.5 mins gone. Commentators say that Swindon have been the better of the two sides.

City break. McCammon weak shot saved by Evans.

City break again. Ifil beaten, Jenkins wins it, loses it, Brooker about to shoot and Diagourara conceeds corner.

Corner poorly defended by Evans eventually gathers.

Juke glancing header behind -  rattles Carey, who complains to ref.

Swindon fans singing quite loudly during a lull in the game.

Referee gives Juke and Carey a talking to....

Shitty fans break into a chorus of 'Going Down'

Sounds like Town fans are singing over the top 'Million Pounds'

Fallon just scored for Swansea

Free kick hooked off the line by Jenkins !

Close, well played Town

Just heard that, bugger that was close

he could have done that a couple of weeks ago when they played rotherham, the cunt !

Pox losing 1-0  :mrgreen:

My commentary keeps dropping out.....

'Defence reasonably solid...
Town reasonably confident and getting better as the game goes on'

I'd really like to get excited about this, we're sounding ok, but I just know there's no point. It's a nasty feeling.

Jack Smith goes pass 3 or 4 and shoots from the edge of the area...blocked.

Same as mine NMH

Doesn't sound too bad at present.

other results are going our way at the moment, if we can get 3 points, there is still a chance...

fallon has just scored again

Fallons got his 2nd today now.

Oxford's going down  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Couple more chances wasted....Don't remember the last time we created so many chances in a game !

My comententary keeps cutting out.

Torquay 2-0 up at Carlisle.  8)

Close to conceeding ! Save by Evans

2-0 to Torquay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Everything is going our way.

Rotherham are losing and we're playing well.

Half time !

half time, sound OK but we needed 0-0 away about 2 months ago...the half time table:


Blackpool                45       53     -7      53     0-0    v Scunthorpe
Tranmere                45       52     -1     48    0-0    v Franchise
Yeovil                            45    52   -10    52       0-1    v Huddersfield
Rotherham                 45      51   -9      52     0-1    v Colchester
Franchise 45       50    -20    44     0-0    v Tranmere
Hartlepool                45        49     -15    42    0-0    v Brentford
Swindon                45        47   -19    45    0-0    v Bristol City
Walsall                   45      45   -23    45       0-0    v Gillingham

Not a bad first half performance, hope they can carry it on in the second half.

Gotta take the kids to footie now. Can someone else take over the 2nd half commentary please !

NMH

Can Oxford go down today?

Just checked their half time table, they will be 3 points behind the pack.

i don't think so, there are too many teams on 51, but as it stands they would need a win next game to stay up... which sounds familiar !

Not for definate, as Stockport and Barnet are both 3 points ahead at present (as are several other teams) and they're playing each other.

A loss for Oxford leaves them needing to win next Saturday and relying on other teams slipping up.

get in cunts

GET IN!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have we scored, I'm still listening to Evans just save?

nice one aaron, nice one son, nice one aaron - you stuck one past the scum !!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAALLLL!!!!


 COME ON!!

Oh, so we have, get in there Brown

 8)  8)  8)  8)  8)  8)  8)  8)

YEEEEES. GET IN THERE!

Happy days!!

many thanks to colchester too !

If we win.....

What needs to happen to stay up?

We need to beat Huddersfield then and hope others lose next week.

Not sure.

Obviously beat Huddersfield,

Hartlepool are at home to Port Vale, Rotherham play Franchise.  I think we need Franchise to lose today, and then beat Rotherham next Saturday, otherwise goal difference will be our big problem next week.

The great escape!

yeah, a win for tranmere would help us as MK would need a win too...

Walsall scored against Gills, their down though so doesn't matter.

Yeah beat Hartlepool!!!!!

but rotherham are playing milton keynes on the last day so we need milton keynes to lose today or else we are fucked

think im right apologies if not

God knows!

My head hurts.

Gurney on for Jenkins. Why am I worried again?

It would make it hard if they don't lose.

If it was a draw next week Rotherham's goal diff is about 8 better than our's so unless we thump Huddersield we're stuffed.

If either side win (presuming MK Don's don't lose today) then we're also stuffed.

We need MK Don's to lose today and then beat Rotherham next week in a low scoring game. All so easy!

# SCENARIO TWO: Town must beat Bristol City and Huddersfield. Elsewhere, Tranmere must beat Franchise, Colchester need to beat Rotherham and Brentford have to beat Hartlepool.

Then on the final day of the season, with Hartlepool already relegated, Franchise must beat Rotherham to bring them level on points with Town – both on 52 points.

Goal difference will then seal both sides fate with Town just ahead at present on -19, one ahead of Franchise, who are on -20.

# SCENARIO THREE: Town must win their remaining games against Bristol City and Huddersfield.

Rotherham and Tranmere must lose both of their remaining games and Hartlepool need to take no more than three points out of six.

Town and Franchise will then survive with the other three joining Walsall in League Two.

Thanks adver site.

Oxford have scored.

you could be right - if we go down i want to make damn sure MK go down too, bloody team thieves

as it stands we end shittys play off chances today too

doesn't matter now anyway...

Shit

fuck

arse

They've just scored so you can stop talking about staying up now

Bugger

crap

Cunts.

rubbish

Balls.

Definately Bugger.  :cry:

BollockS

Oh well, look on the bright side, City's playoff hopes are fucked.

bollocks

in fact southend just equalised too, so shitty can still make the playoffs.  FUCK !

COME ON BOYS!!!!!!

although they would hae to win their next game 14-0...

Cureton to nick a last minutes winner!!  :beers:

Yeovil winning at Huddersfield  :shock:

why dont we ever have a result like that??

Portsmouth winning again, if results stay the same then Birmingham and West Brom are down.

Oh well, it's been coming a while now, we all knew it was gonna happen  :(

Birmingham down  :beers:  :beers:  :beers:

fuck sake Smith

What station/site are you listening to it on? I have only just heard that Jack Smith effort (from the commentary through the STFC website)...it seems to be a couple of minutes behind yours!

Come On Town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BBC Swindon 103.6

Yeah I noticed the delay. just delay where it has to encode I think

Mines always like that, I always read about things before they happen, very annoying.

pox have equalised, so we could be playing them next season

7 and half mins left

:(

not looking good very frustrating

i dont have any commentry so keep me up 2 date!

They still have to BEAT Orient to stay up though.

Anyone got a radio link please.

Alright Tans, fancy a pint later?

Brentford winning 1-0 vs Hartlepool

And Orient will need to win to guarantee the 3rd automatic promotion place, so they'll be going for it big time.

Good try

Bugger.

Franchise lost 2-1, 3 goals in the 90th minute!

At least they gave it a good go today.

bollocks, well if we had played every game like that this season, maybe we wouldn't have been in this position

Shit! I'm going down the pub to drown my sorrows :cry:  :beers:

we did our best

:shake:

the worst thing is that means im not top on the predictions league nemore :(

l.o.l get's replaced by soapy tit wank. It's one of the bestest things about the forum.

I'm gonna go drink till I pass out.

Nice to hear Swin Til I Die still ringin out

see you next season boys and girls

im going out to get fucked and punch my mate in the face! :evil:

oxford are in the relegation zone

keep listening to the official commentry on the world... ed hadwin has left his microphone on!   classic

whats he saying?

Wonder if any ones gonna tell him..

He told Tom to ring him on the phone

he is walking to the press area you can hear him

i hope he not going for a piss

hes late for the press conference ha ha he is having to listen outside because he is not allowed in

Is that iffy you can just slightly hear

ha its gone to one of the other guys now and he  is telling the kids to shut up as he is just about to go on radio

this is better than the match :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

theres two blokes talking now, one seems to be getting a bit angry and theres some kids too

Quality stuff  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Did it sound to anyone else like it was Wee Willie and they were whispering about the close season, then the little guy got fed up with waiting, said: 'Why did you drag me out of the box?' and then hung up and now it's gone all quiet?

Could have been willie. But surely he wouldn't  be at Swindon game ???

He was on the phone, and they were waiting for something to happen. Then he got pissed off and it clicked off.

Though perhaps it was the sound of the radio microphone switching off...

Sade text in saying "were be straight back up as Champions!".  :mrgreen:

check out this penis on 606

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mb606/F2231916?thread=2846527

Just have, what a knob!

 8)  Well its true.

Your in for a shock Sade unless we spend ALOT of money on a complete new squad.

League 2 is a very competitive and hard league.

I know that and not for one minute do I think its going to be a walk in the park, I was just trying to add a touch of positiveness!

But I'm excited to see what new players we'll get for next season and I'd like to see how Iffy does.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: good one Sade!, keep the faith and all that.

:D  Your making me feel like a right goon.

I think it's the toughest league out of them all but that's just my opinion. Iffy said he's just brining in 4 players :| so he's going to keep most of the under performers here. :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

We can't afford squad changes. What we need is consolidation of what we have

Have you been in a comma?? Bill Power???

thats not what he meant though.... :roll:

What did he mean then?

well, what i think he meant was...

we cant afford to get in a whole new team, because as we saw at the start of this season getting in a whole new teams takes time to gell...it took a fair few games before the players looked anything like a team.

If we want to do well next season and challenge we cant afford to have a slow start like we did this season.

well thats what I thought he meant anyway

Hairy muff.

Just think we NEED a new playing squad to be successful.

:D Trapped in punctuation

Problem with his colon ?  :D

NMH

Yes, it's only a semi!

Very funny.

Bastards.

if we're to do well next season, we need to win more games.

Can tell your Oxfordshire educated sir  :soapy tit wank:

Like my good self.

"you're" as in "you are".

Stick to cooking.

Ok Mr Pedantic :D

Touchy!

I was just joining in with the grammatical banter.

:wink:
