Sensible really - He can have a real impact at our level.

anyone got any stats about him

Thought it was a coaching role? And surely this should be in other football stuff?

Well done for what?

I'll bet there are a few red faces in the north east, Sunderland thought they had him! :oops:

Neil Lennon, cunt cunt cunt. I will be singing that at least twice next season! :mrgreen:

I hate Neil Lennon, fat bastard

what the fuck has this got to do with stfc?

I too hate Neil Lennon.

When Hearts played Celtic 2 years ago, Hearts went 2-0 up within 10 minutes. The ref sent off Fyssas and Celtic fought back to 2-2 and then grabbed a winner deep in stoppage time. The Celtic players celebrated in front of their fans apart from Neil Lennon who ran the length of the pitch to give it large to the Hearts fans. Needless to say plenty of loose change was fired his way when he was walking off the pitch.

Unpleasant cunt.  :evil:

Nothing.

But I do remember him playing against us in 95/96 for Crewe Alexandra (a team which included Ashley Westwood, Gareth Whalley, Danny Murphy and Robbie Savage) at the County Ground.

Swindon and Crewe were the pace-setters that season and we took the lead only through Wayne Allison only for Crewe to equalise.

We won a penalty with a couple of minutes to go and Steve Finney scored... I remember the goalie got his hand to it and the ball trickled over the line - it certainly didn't hit the net.

A great season.

I have that season on videa, your memory is good, the ball landed halfway between the goalline and the net! The gk was devestated, obviously!

I have the programme on hand for the line-up but I remember the Finney penalty very well... After the game it was pointed out that Finney was still shaking when being interviewed by BBC Radio Wiltshire.

And Fraser made a brilliant one-on-one save in the last minute, Stratton Bank End

as an aside, i think it would put an end to the "goal line technology" debate if the powers that be just changed the rules that for it to be a goal the ball has got to hit the net.

that would make for a lot more excellent goals too.

Didn't we have a stupid amount of goals disallowed against Crewe?

Bloody hell, Tails....given you were only about 6 at the time you have a pretty good memory!  I think we had two disallowed, neither should have been, and one was an own goal...disallowed for what?!  Stupid bloody ref. :evil:

I know I do, I remember that season surprisingly well!

It was my first full one.

And to think it wasn't until we got to the play offs with Parkin and Mooney up front that you saw another winning season...how the hell anyone of your age stuck with us for all those years, I don't know.  I'd take my hat off to you were I wearing one...where is the hat removal smiley?

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Well I do remember going top of the first division on a friday night. Away at Portsmouth, Mildenhall had stitches in his testicles at half time.  :D We were in the top 2 with Forest for ages, then went on probably the worst run in the history of football.

But yeah I've stuck with it, mainly thanks to my parents. I did lose interest in about 2001 but it didn't take long for me to get back into it.

Yeah, and Igoe booted the ball at his head, as he was in danger of losing a plum as well...harsh...

One of the minor disapointments from the 95-96 season is that Crewe never actually joined us in promotion to "Division 2."
They faded badly in the latter stages of the season and to think that the likes of O*ford and Bradford, via the play-offs, were the ones accompanying us up makes my confederate body reek with vitriol.

Still, looking at the Crewe line-up from that 2-1 win at the CG.
Danny Murphy, Neil Lennon, Robbie Savage.....
Not bad, not bad at all.
Even their goal scored by Garvey was pretty tasty.

I did notice, however, they had a young G.Whalley and A.Westwood in their starting XI.

Hhhmm.

It was Blackpool that would kick themselves more for not going up.

I seem to remember some controversy after the game at Blackpool but can't for the life of me remember.

Something to do with Allardyce possibly... I was at the game but my memory has let me down here.

Really, that passed me by...I remember singing Swindon songs on the rollercoaster, and generally making the Pleasure Beach Swindon by the Sea (which if global warming keeps up it soon will be :wink: )

Heady days...

They won the first leg at Bradford 2-0 and were basically taking the second leg for granted, i think Alladyce said some pretty naive things before the home leg, which they lost
