im going for a 3-0 win, Roberts getting 2 and Shaksey getting 1.

Att- 5,800-6,200

3.1 with Roberts (2) and Lukas (If he plays)

Think your attendance figure is a bit optimistic, more like 4500.

Im hopefull, haha

Morning all, it's work for me then I'll be back at 2 for banter.

Expecting a win but they are going to be up for it and they're not a lot different to some of the teams we've played this season.

3-2 Swindon, 4,752

2-1 win i think, Robots with both. 4,900

1 - 1

Att 5,500

surely inventing a football robot is cheating? Don't all the players have to be human?

are you going today chubbsy?

Nup sonic, working, got me radio handy, i wouldnt wanna jinx it.

we might win today then :D

thats what im saying,

8)

i dunno which way to call it today. i can see us handing out a beating but it's not going to be that easy...but equally i can't see us losing.

attendance: 5670

wgere is everyone, im bored at work

I'm at home, listening to Brezovan being interviewed in the Merlin on RS. Classic stuff  :?

does he have a translator?

Yes. Marta I think she was called. Sounded quite nice, but I'm sure those physically present in the Merlin are better placed to offer a perspective than I...

I wonder if fatbury took note  :wink:

Swindon 3-0 Morecombe

Roberts 2, Pook  :shock:

Attendance: 5,156

so what did brez say? anything interesting? any idea when hes gonna be back?

Not much of note to be brutally honest. Spent more time 'talking' about what he can get up to in Swindon with a broken arm...

well do tell, never know when i mite need that advice.

Whalley starting is interesting... Morecambe have some familiar names in their line-up... Just don't feck this up STFC!

STFC: P. Smith, J Smith, Nico, Ifil, Williams, Shakes, Brown, Whalley, Weston, Peacock, Roberts.

Subs: Jutkiewicz, Stewart, Brownlie, Pook, Zaaboub.

MFC: Drench, Yates, Howard, Bentley, Brannan, Thompson, McLachlan, Stanley, Perkins, Twiss, Rigolioso.

Subs: Smith, Platt, McNiven, Burns, Davies.

i reckon 2 0 today.

Pretty much full strength then

a 5-0 rape and molestation all rolled into a big fat sexual assult.

brez and zaboob need to have a talk off, which one's english is worse?

No Pook-hurrah!

I'm cautious. They are only one division below us - we're obviously better than them and of course I expect a win, but... you know what this bloomin' competition can be like!

Oh and I've read Reg's comments about getting knocked out of the FA Cup at least once a decade!!! Damn you Reg!

Don't we get knocked out of the FA Cup every year?

The most important thing has been missed out... My bad.

By a Non-League team.

Yeah I was just being an annoying pedantic twat

Oxford losing early on.

Situation normal then.

thud thud thud thud thud thud

Drums should be banned at football.

Too fucking right. Along with horns.

and clackers.

Good save Smith... Phew.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Ed's pissed off with the drummer as well

is brez actualy gonna have a spot in the first team when he gets back? smith is having a corker of a game by sounds of it.

For Fuck Sake Swindon... SORT IT OUT!

Whoever thought this was going to be a walk in the park are probably all eating their words.

Agreed. At least Oxford are losing 2-0 at 10-men Stevenage.

I'm going to make a cup of tea. Anyone else want one?

AK is casting his magic spell on Grays - they are 2-1 down at Weymouth

no just got a coffee but thanks anyway

i dont like this.

They've equalised.

It's not looking at all good for us right now.

"He's not fat but he's chunky"

"It wasn't a bad challenge but it was a mis-timed challenge"

We are GUFF.

Being outplayed by Morecombe!  PS needs to have a word at H-T

Half-Time - Thank fuck for that.

Power out!

The mans a fucking jinx  :D

Not at all... We always play bad when I listen to the game on the radio... Fear not I've turned it off now!

hes a bit rasist, its all about the white players, then goes on to dis shakes and brown. tut tut

Morning all !

Breakfast done while watching the cricket highlights. Now, for the main event ! .....Watching text is boring !  :cry:

NMH

gym?

Not today. Hosting a work Xmas party at my house tonight so have to work like buggery to get sorted - including clearing the couple of inches of snow that added to the 8 inches that we had earlier in the week ! Was colder here on Thursday than in the Arctic Circle !

NMH

where the fuck are you?

 :shock:

this is crap, im glad im at work.

GO GO SWINDON !!!  8)   :beers:  :beers:  :beers:  :twisted:

They're like that in Denver....

Snowing in Oxford?

At this rate, we'll be lucky to earn a replay...sorry to drag the thread back on topic  :oops:

We just do not "do" the F.A. Cup.

5942 crowd

what was the attendence i missed what he said

Of mostly annoyed people!

i said 5,800- 6,200 so in the middle.

In your dreams sweetheart !

NMH

Is the game summary:

Boring first half where we created nothing and looked absolute pants and more like a non-league team than our plucky Conference opponents ?

NMH

You can pretty much say the same about the second half so far too.

Spot on.   2nd half isn't any better so far

Wish I'd gone to the gym then !

NMH

I was thinking about going to this game  :soapy tit wank:

Anything happening ?

NMH

Weston receives a yellow card.

We sound so fucking ridiculously shit.

Any chants of Bill Power around the ground today?

Have we played any worse this season?  Ridiculous for them to be saying about taking a 0-0

Its a clever ploy to earn a replay and get on the old tellybox.....

C'mon Town, late winner, altogether now....

OOHHHH CHRISSY ROBERTS!  :beers:

let lucas take it

PENALTY!!!!

Penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't FUCKING MISS IT! Pllllllllllllllleeeeease.

goal

PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Christian Roberts......

GET IN!

Whatever the result I hope Luggy kicks some ass.

One pisshead to another...  God I fucking love Roberts.


...USED TO BE AN ALKY BUT HES ALRITE NOW!

Phil Smith winning praise again.

Is that it ?

NMH

Not yet....

Is that 6 goals in 5 for Roberts now?

FULL-TIME: 1-0

Thank Fuck.

Thank god that is over!

Superb result, who needs to get rid of this board?!?!

And err well done to Kauto Star.  :|

Yippee ! Woo-hoo ! Yaaah !  :cry:

l8r sk8rs

NMH

Well, to summarise:

We were totally fucking awful.
We got a lucky (and somewhat controversial) penalty.
The result is all that matters.
Phil Smith deserves a lot of credit. Thank fuck somebody bothered to turn up.

Yup....  We're in the third round for the first time in a few years (2001?  My memory for dates is terrible.  Didn't we lose to Coventry 2-0?).  Hopefully we get a plum tie....

Deserved victory for the town. Clearly showed we were a class above the non-leaguers.

:D

we was shit but we won :D

Actually, I was being rather flippant. Clearly the result is important as it does put us in the 3rd round, which may land us a potentially money-spinning tie. But I'm sure that those who paid money to actually watch that sort of performance will have a somewhat different opinion.

I'd be more than slightly pissed off if I were a Morecambe fan today.

We werent even that good mate.

A wins a win though.

That's a relief....assuming we don't get another non league side, then we've survived another year of the 00's without losing to a non league side  :beers:

   A bit more composure in front of goal and 3 or 4 wouldn't have flattered Morecambe, but we've been there ourselves this season v Lincoln and Hereford.

  If someone does one of those ratings, we had a few who 2 would be generous for.

   I'll be quite happy not to have to watch the likes of Whalley and Brown in a red shirt again....Nicho and Jack Smith may have scraped a 3......and Pooky would get 0, has a player ever given a more inept 30 mins?

  If I'd been up in the Arkells corner the drummer would have got it wrapped round his head....don't the authorities appreciate that a hangover is de rigeur for a Sat afternoon.

And Peacock.

The Cock was truly shocking for the second game in a row, but he did at least make a couple of useful chase back tackles when someone had gifted possession.....looking like Luggy will shift him on though at this rate.

"Some players have bitten the dust as far as selection today because we need to keep our standards high. Not many people impressed me out there."

Nice to see Sturrock telling it like it is. Shakes, Brown, Whalley, Pook etc.

The must be rightly pissed off with that result.  They closed us down quickly and with numbers on the wings, and we had little or nothing to offer in the centre.  Their passing and movement was good, only their finishing let them down, and I wouldn't have given offside against the fella who put it in the net in injury time.  

Phil Smith the only one to come out of that with any credit.

What confuses me is how the fans with a drummer in their midst put up with it.  I distinctly remember drummers in the home stands being told what to do with their sticks in the past.

I  bet that Brown will be in the team against Walsall though!  :evil:

I really don't mind Brown playing. Shakes annoys me the most.  :x

i thought we were dreadful! pook was crap when he came on! i actually feel sorry for Morcambe! they didn't deserve to lose

Poor game, thank God we've dodged the replay.  Collectively very poor, Phil smith takes some credit as does weston, the rest none at all IMHO.  No creativity, nothing up front, poor at the back, and an anonymous midfield.  Disappointing, but winning ugly is our way at the moment.

Smith was terrific, and although I completly agree about the side's inept performance, it has to be said that there were some shocking decisions from the officials.

Amazed to get a win today, I could only see Morcambe winning it as the game went on. No doubt Sturrock will be sorting out this issue!

I said that to my dad when we were in the car going home.

i had a row with the steward about the drummer, i said i found it offensive and that it shoul be taken away for health and safety reasons. cunt just laughed at me.

i knew we would win 1-0 i predicted it at half time.

What a fucking shower of shite. That match was god-awful today. I think Adie Williams was the only town player to show an ounce of passion today. Man of the match.

williams motm?? mental fucker, phil smith was decent every1 else was fucking awful

williams? MOTM? cock off... he was poor, to say the least!

Erm... so was everyone else, Williams just wasn't as poor IMO.

Smith was ok, but it's just what we've come to expect of him lately.

so because he has been good the last few weeks we cant praise him anymore?? :shrug:

Fair enough, maybe you think Smith deserves MOTM. I don't.

 Williams is a good pro who sets himself standards.....so even when like today he wasn't necessarily great....he's still better than a lot of those around him who seem to have no passion for the job.  The sooner Luggy gets rid of numbers the better.

agree with your post
i thought weston was our best player today.most were god damn awful!how the hell is ricky shakes a pro footballer?

I don't know, I think waiting til January might be  better option  :D

weston always tries to over do things, he beats 2 men then intead of playing the pass he tries to beat the 3rd 4th 5th 6th and fucking 7th!!!!

And Roberts always shows too much of the ball and gives it away cheaply, but i don't hear people complaining about that.

Weston is a quality young player and will be a real asset in future years should he remain a town player. The sooner he gets a contract extension the better.

phil smith was MOTM. great save from one of our players in the first half. Ifil looked alot like the bad old jerel Ifil, and all i can say is its a good job williams was next to him. Whalley looked fuking useless. absolute shite. Pook didn't do great when he came on, but he did more running in the short space he was on than Whalley did. Same can be said about Zaboooooooob and brown. I dont have time for brown anymore.

Morecambe were a credit to the conference. Best team i've seen us play against so far this season, probably due to the fact they weren't playing for the draw. Their fans were good too. I take it the garden shed chant was being a tad sarcastic.

And on a side note, i was sat behind mex (and im guessing) some other TEF'ers. i was well star struck

i didnt say weston wasnt decent, hes one of our best players, just saying today he tried to over do things

I think they had done their homework, everytime Weston got the ball there were two men on him like a shot

I agree with you DV, Morecambe were extremely well organised. I was very impressed by their number 5.

im not suprised they were decent at all, they had Adriano up front

i thought their 3 and 7 were excellent

yeah the midget number 3, i wasimpressed with him Perkins i think

Their 7 is Twiss, the one they all rave about. He looked ok, would definately cut it in League Two, maybe League One.

all round they were a good team.i hope they come into the league

Twiss was at man utd as a younster wasnt he?

aye...

he was

http://www.shrimpsvoices.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=5494&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25

apparently the we had twelve men today. i thought the ref was biased towards them. We couldn't make a tackle without the ref blowing up. Guess thats the magic of football thogh

I guess because our goal came from a penalty...

Why can't opposition fans just bemoan the fact they should've won instead of accusing referee's of being bias? I listened to the game and it certainly didn't appear that way.

We were crap and deserved to lose - FACT... But to wins games you have to score goals - tis a cliche but it's true.

The Swindon fans who attended that deserve a trip to a Premiership club in the next round. The players deserve a guarenteed loss away at Peterborough!

Just got home from the game (after a pub detour!) I took a mate who's a yeovil fan, and I don't think I've ever been more embarrassed: WE WERE SHITE.

Motm: Phil Smith. Some excellent saves (One from his own player!!)

Most of the players were fucking shit and if I was Sturrock I'd be really pissed off with their effort and application.

Did they think that because they were playing a non league team, all they had to do was turn up? If so, their arrogance was nearly our undoing.

Almost felt sorry for Morcambe (Although a place in the third round draw made me feel better!)

The team should take a long look at themselves tonight.......................

sturrock said on sky sports news 'with performances like that, people WILL be losing their place in the team'

utter shambles.

chasing shadows.

ball watching.

inept passing.

non-existent finishing.

fucking disgraceful.

1:0...after your posts it looks like another lucky win  :twisted:
Guess , who made it ?  :twisted:  :twisted:  :king:
No games lost when I am here !!! :king:  :king:  :king:

fuck off are u polish

How did your team get on Bartek old boy and where are they in the league?

Thanks Bartek!!

It was a pole who won the penalty :mrgreen:

so what ?  :D and you are English is it bad ?

i like u :D

It's winter break here...so I will stay here very long (almost four months :-) ) and I think I'll bring you a lot of victories and promotion to division one  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Oh...I am touched....Let's drink 'bruderschaft'  :beers:  BARTEK !  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Any pro-Power/Trust songs yesterday?

There was a half hearted "There's only one Bill Power" at the start of the game but that was it.

There wasn't hardly any songs at all yesterday.  Most noise came from Morecombe, I guess it was their 'cup final' in an entirely patronsing big club V little club style.

That's shite. (but then so am I for not being there) If things aren't tied up by the Rovers game we need an organised protest

 Think you might be a bit optimistic there.......I suspect Diamandis will be glad to take us down all hands on deck, rather than relinquish his power base.

Not expecting it to make them them turn around and say 'alright then, all yours guys', but it's better than nothing.

I can honestly see them digging  in their heels and refusing to budge in spite of the fact that Bill Power & Co can really take us forward. I'd say it's a probability...just got that feeling reading between the lines, especially the line where it states that they're not actively looking to sell the club.

I thought you were one for fan power Reg?!

Anyway, this should be on another thread...

 I'm all for fan power, but I'm not sure we've a critical mass for this yet.  There is still a residue of good will for the Wills family, for their commitment over some years...that the Newbury placemen are only there at the behest of SSW is a circle yet to be squared.

Yeah but on the plus side you were there watching the game :wink: I was stuck in Didcot because some inconsiderate sod decided to do themselves in at Didcot train station :x Won't see us play till Boxing day now :(

Move to a real town.

 :soapy tit wank:
It was a bit ironic really because i was slagging off the trains from the previous weekend,just my luck it gets worse :roll:

DV ended up using a ticket the lovely Ms Bird had brought for me,well done DV and Ms Bird :bow1:

In fairness it sounds like the inconsiderate sod saved you from 90 boobless minutes of boredom.

I enjoyed it - cos we won!! Nothing else mattered!
