Ok

After all thats gone on this week, I truly hope that for 90 mins everybody puts all the shit to one side and gets behind the lads on the pitch.

It will be a toughie with Lincoln scoring goals for fun and Ifil out.

Im going for a 2-2 draw (Fola and Peacock), which I personally will be pleased with.

Good luck Adi !

3-1 to us

 :beers:

3-0 win - I dreamt it 8)

I dreamt I had a broken leg.

High scoring game today.

Moi!

Me for a few mins....are we winning yet ?

NMH

Not yet mate....

What about now ?  :D

NMH

No, worryingly, all I've heard is Williams and Smith, which indicates we're under the cosh from the off...

It would appear that way.

It'll come though....

Oooohhh, The COCK!

Close...

Does any1 know where i can get radio coverage, as wilts sound are doing the fa cup for some stupid reason

BBC Radio Swindon?

Otherwise, you need to splash the cash for STFC World.

God this sounds rubbish.

I hope Ady gives decent half time teamtalks.

Unless you can get Radio Swindon there's no way of listening over the net (contractual reasons apparently). Massively frustrating.

How we getting on lads? Any crumbs of information would be much appreciated.

To sum up, seemed under pressure for the first 10-15 minutes. Peacock had a good attempt on goal, just wide. Thats about it really.

I live in Soouthampton so can only pick up bbc radio wiltshire.  They always do swindon games untill it comes to the fa cup -  then they cover an fa cup game.

Massively frustrating, as i dont know if we are playing well/crap etc

We sound like we're playing pretty poorly at the moment.

Nothing much happening.

They have apparently been slightly the better team...

'Lincoln are the best team we've seen at the CG so far'

We can't really get a foothold so far, but they've not really threatened.

We have a corner!

Pook blasts over the bar....

God we need Evo back.

I don't think you can blame a team who've just lost their popular coaching set-up to be brilliant against a good Divvy 4 team like Lincoln.... Just hope we improve a bit.

Pook shot - ball lands in Greenbridge Retail Park  :shock:

Thanks Coxernator. Not particualrly encouraging that but keep it coming fellas. Come on you Reds FFS!

Cmon the Town !

Gotta go to the gym.....Mrs NMH wants me to be Mr No More Fatboy so has booken me onto 'The Biggest Loser' program !  :(

Will read the reports when I get back.

NMH

Missed and open goal - Fola

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I'm going to buy a treadmill this afternoon... :?

 :roll:

Finishing... Always finishing.

We bought an elliptical trainer....After a couple of weeks it turned into an ornament !  :x

cul8r

NMH

45-55 possession in favour of Lincoln so far. Only one shot, off target, to Town.

Ah, but long-term its cheaper than a gym. One treadmill = 4 months gym subscription.

I don't want to tempt fate, but it would appear that they aren't going to score 7 at least.

And 5 minutes later it changes to 56-44 in favour of Town.

Me thinks its fucked, and I don't believe it...

the bloody natch console thing wont let me listen to the game. Ive paid for the service but it wont give me a drm license thing. Any ideas people?

Thought we'd scored then....

We hadn't.

 :D



 :cry:

E-mail the customer support. I renewed my subscription this morning, got the licence pop-up but everything is working for me, so far.

i just emailed them, but expecting a quick reply :(

^not expecting even, never had this trouble pre drm bastards

Rumour has it they're pretty quick. Although I'm probably going to be proven wrong

Caveat: I've never e-mailed support yet, just going on other's experience. No guarantee they'll fix your problem either.

This is more like it...

Sounds like we're playing better now...

Two half chances, Shakes, then Weston bursting from midfield. Sounds more encouraging tbf.

I can't stand listening to Swindon on the radio so I'll take your word for it!

Leeds winning.

Onion bhaji just wide....

i mailed them once and to their credit they did reply fairly quickly-evenmore surprising since i had just called them a bunch of useless incompetents ...


Onibujamaflip is getting a fair bit of the ball, doesn't have his shooting boots on though

For suck sake.

Half time, 0-0. Reasonable so far as Lincoln have only had one shot, off target.

For some reason though it will let me listen to southend - leeds commentry but but swindons or lincolns.

right pain in the arse

However, judging by posts it seems that we're not putting chances away... As per usual.

Nil's at half time then. A reasonable achievement given that Lincoln are the top scorers in the Football League. Hope we don't live to regret those missed chances though.

For those able to listen, how are the fans today, getting behind the boys?

Only 5 goals in League Two thus far.

Santa's pitched up two months early and left a white Porsche Boxster outside my house. Result! Although I asked for red, so Santa you're a deaf old cunt  :x

Just watched the half time highlights of the Liverpool v Villa game. Three very good goals from the 'pool - Crouch's will have BWB coming in his pants.

Shakes chance, saved  :x

This sounds all to familiar. COME ON SWINDON!!!!!!!!

Macclesfield winning... Colin Heath.

Hoping we don't regret missing these chances.  Walsall still drawing 0-0, so a good chance to catch them up

Ooooh, Lincoln shot on target, saved by Smith.

Just back from kickboxing where I got beaten up by a girl.

Don't make my day any worse Swindon!   :|

Peterborough losing to 10-men Grimsby.

Tommy Doherty sent off for Wycombe vs. Boston

Boston down to 10 men too

Fuck

shit

Typical, Williams makes the mistake

On his debut too! (Broughton)

Peterborough equalise.

We really need a prolofic goalscorer, we've missed so many chances!

fuck it - off the line

Off the freaking line!!!

Arse, I was on mute for a short time...

walrus with the jinx there - get down and give me 20 !

:box: cmon town

Bollocks. Always about finishing chances with us.

Same old story.

7685 crowd

Another chance for Onibuje - missed.

How many Lincoln?

oohh, onibujie close

Another miss.

Ohh Tittyfuck....  A Rovers reject as well.

I'm just off to gas myself.

Decent crowd that all things considered. Will all be for nothing if we can't get a result today.

Come on my team!!!

Its your fucking fault son  :wink:

Get Rhodes on

Since they scored, Lincoln having the better of it.

I'm sure we are supposed to be dominating because we're losing?

Its the law isn't it?

Power surge just knocked out my internet connection briefly. Still losing then...

Bugger. Thats it, all over.

 :(

just one bit of bad luck it sounds like, shit

Well im looking forward to the opinions of the people who went to the game.

Did we play well, or did we deserve to lose ?

Will Williams cut it as permenant manager,  or do we need a more experienced campaigner

Fuck wank bollocks. Sadly predictable  :(

Smash and grab.

We looked pretty good to be honest, good performance, just couldn't take our chances. Lincoln had one chance and they scored.

Shit performance, possible were played well for about 30 min of 1st half then 2nd half you'd have through ifil was on the pitch, it was hoof after hoof.

Once or twice, ye ok, worth ago but after the 3 you realise its not really working then try something eles.

Lincoln were even worse, got a lucky goal, mistake my williams.

Fola shold have had 4-5 goals, but failed to produce.

Poor game really.

We looked good up to the goal. Then we went long and to be fair created  chance or two.

Overall not a bad performance but everyone needs a win against Hereford. We can't afford a slump now.

hoof ball is the way forward then by the looks of it? if we play like that every week we'll finish bottom half simple as that. Lincoln were shite today though. and even though we were poor we still deserved more from the game. we don't create chances and we don't score goals. you cannot go up like that

i didn't think it looked like 2nd v 3rd, it was a poor standard.

we were better in the first half, them in the second. our strikers are gash and they've got a good one.

I was beginning to wonder id I was the only one bored into submission today.  Thought they were abject and we were uninterested.  3 good chances but such a slow game, no pressure from either team.

frustrated as opposed to bored bobby

I gave up with the frustration early on when we weren't allowed in to put the flags out incase we caused trouble at the AGM (i.e ran from the TE corner up the Arkells, through the entrance down the corridoor and through the door without someone spotting us).

Trust banned from getting members around the ground.  Got myself signed up though, just to piss the club off if anything else.

Then got hassled when trying to get the number 12 shirt to go crowd surfing in the TE.

Had enough really, and the performance just finished me off.

seriously what wankers thsi club are,,did they stop you chucking paper about as well?

First half, Lincoln did nothing but hoof, playing for a draw or a lucky break. Very poor. We played some good football in patches, and deserved to lead at half-time on chances, particularly from Fola's miss from the Brown cross, and his failure to dive at a Smith cross to head in.
We then tried to out-hoof them in the second half, and stopped playing moves on the floor,but they were better hoofers, and gradually got on top. Adie made a bad mistake to let in Forrester for his well-taken goal, rather Ifil-like. ( Last season, that is.)
I had a concern  that being manager might affect his game. On radio. he did say how difficult and different it was. Also, he is travelling to watch games next week for new players, and this is a concern also, how will this affect his training and preparation? He is a key defender, and captain, and should not have been lumbered with the manager's job.

 Thought Nicho had a decent game, so next week I'd expect Williams to sit on the bench,  its too much to expect him to play and manage.

I thought we were quite good. First half we were by far the better team, but not a lot of chances came our way and Lincoln never had a sniff at goal.
Second half was more even, although Lincoln had a couple of chances, whereas we had many more.
I felt Shakes should have socred in the second half when he put the ball straight at the keeper from 5 yards out, although to be fair he had to slide to get to it.
Onibuje was unlucky on many occassions. One inparticular where his header was cleared off the line!

MOTM for me is between Onibuje, Peacock and Weston. I thought they each played really well.

Weston motm for me, not sure about the strikers though Phil, fola was involved but gash, and Peacock did fuck all.

Vincents fucking crap, play Nicho left back when ifil returns. He's like a hoofball merchant Ifil but worse.

Completely in agreement with you there David

you thought Fola was MotM Phil!!!!!

Get a clue, he missed from a yard out with an open goal, then headed the ball right at the keeper on a one on one.

He was by far the worst player for us today, and dare I say it but Christian Roberts would have scored a couple today

Onibuje has pace, and some skill. Stick him on the right wing and let him do the setting up instead of finishing

Fola did some neat things though, but on occassions fucked up slightly. Was unlucky not to score, but should have bagged himself one in the first half.
I thought Peacock worked very hard and was very good with the ball at his feet, in my opinion.

I totally agree about Vincent. In other games he seems to do alright and keeps it simple, but his distribution like you say, was woeful. Plus he seems to stand off his man to much.

He worked hard, got in some good positions and linked up well with play.
I agree he should have come away with a goal though.

HE MISSED FROM A YARD OUT!!!

Strikers are supposed to score goals and today he didnt...

A yard out? I must have missed that. That doesnt mean he played badly all game though  :wink:

I must have been to a different game! First half we pissed all over them! I thought our approach play was some of the best I've seen all season. For me, weston, peacock and smith were very good. The rest also played well for most of the first 45 minutes.
 The problem is the same as it's been all season. Finishing. Hardley a chance on target all game. Fola creates problems down the flank, so why don't we play him there? Substitutions were wrong in my opinion. I'd like to see Rhodes up front, playing off peacock.  And I couldn't see why Brownlie came on at all.
The goal was the result of a massive mistake by Ady, felt sorry for him as apart from that he hardley put a foot wrong. The whole game changed when they scored and that's my one worry, the fact that with ady on the pitch, changes didn't seem to be made fast enough, and I'm not just talking about substitutions. Hopefully Ady will name himself as sub next week. Not because he had a bad game, cos he didn't, but because he needs to be dictating from the touchline. Nicholas played well enough to keep his place.

right before half time, Peacock played a ball over the top to Brown who got passed his man and crossed it on and Onibuje missed the ball!!!

didn't HerthaB lose 2-0 today? what match were you at?

didn't HerthaB lose 2-0 today? what match were you at?[/quote]

Yeah, Hertha lost, again.

Was at Swindon, difficult to go to Berlin every other week for football when you live in Yeovil!
 Only really look out for their results cos I was born there.

I look out for Hannover 96's games as I used to live close by.

Moving on....

I found the Lincoln bosses statement after the game quite odd...



I think a fair few people might have expected Lincoln to get a result to be honest. What with Lincoln flying at the moment and Swindon having an almighty shit week with moral low.

Ah well.
