No rain forecasted, which is a bonus.

The parking restrictions near the ground have been lifted, so as long as we get there early I'll park close to the ground and get the bus to Mex's place (That way we can make a quick getaway after the game).

What reaction will we get off the players after Saturdays debacle? I know some of you think the JPT is a waste of time (Bet you'd go to Wembley for the final though!) but I think this is an important game.

I'm going for a display of bouncebackibility and a win. 4-1.

4-1 you mentalist.

Im going for a penalty shoot out and the curse will strike again.
1-1 draw before that though

I don't really think we'll win 4-1, it's just a habit I've got into and I'll continue to predict it until we actually manage it!

There'll be one goal in this 2-1, or 3-2

I think we'll lose 2-1. I hop I'm wrong and pleasantly surprised

We'll win 2-1.

I'll get pissed and fall asleep in the car on the way back. Herthab will turn his music up really loud to wake me up.

I've got some extra loud punk just for you Sam :D

Although I'll be in the front seat so hopefully I'll be able to save my eardrums somewhat. I feel sorry for Ian and Andy.

If it's too loud I'm going to poke you repeatedly in the back of the head Sam.

2-0 defeat today.

I slept through Sex Pistols on saturday, I'll do it again!

For some reason I see a humiliating loss here. Dunno why. 7-0.

I'll bring a helmet.

Dammit! Foiled again!

Actually, if I remember rightly, Ian had some earplugs that he brought to Histon.

Are you bringing beers Sam? I don't like drinking alone.

Another miserable 1-0 defeat.

is this available to listen online?

I'm considering it, but herthab doesn't make piss stops (unless he needs to go) so I'm a bit wary incase I end up bursting for a piss like I did going to Bournemouth last season.

He stops if you tell him you're about to wet yourself in his car.

I must be mellowing. I'll make ONE piss stop.

It's only just over 2 hours ffs.

But I have a bladder the size of a pea. As was evident at Histon when I took 3 pisses in the first half. (In my defence, I'd had 5 pints in the pub).

Take bottles of beer. Then you can just re-fill when done  8)

At the Avenir Beggen v Kaerjing game I am going to tonight they have pint cans of Strongbow to drink at the game for 2 Euro or bottles of Mousel beer (330ml) for 2 Euro also.

The standard of football is piss poor but the refreshments always make it look like Brazil are playing!!

2-1 to the Gayers!

Can't see us getting passed Brighton this evening - an opinion which has nothing to do with the Histon result.

Hope to be proved wrong.

3-1 Brighton.

Homophobic insults are not welcome on here berniman you dirty poof.

strong words from malpas in todays adver.but how the fuck will he replace the players he is refering to though if they dont deliver?
aint got a clue how we will do tonight.

Why shouldn't we beat Brighton? 3-2 Town

we never win at Brighton.

I think we'll lose by the odd goal but the performance won't be brilliant.
Saturday has defeat written all over it.
This is Malpas' make or break time.

... again.

Unless he resigns, he'll be going nowhere whether we lose at Brighton or against Leicester.

 Is this DV irony...we've only lost there once since 76, I'm counting the PO as a win 2-1, at the end of the match.

 Oh that was last season.... Malpas out

I think otherwise if we lose both.

i think it would take two diobolical results to result in malpas getting sacked.narrow defeats and i think he will remain for a while at least

Really, seems we never win there? When was the last time we won at Brighton in the League.

They seem like a team we play all the time but I guess with them we havent played them that often as they've spent some years in the Championship

Also, I'd count the Brighton play off game as a 1-0 win as that was the score at the end of the 90 minutes

Also, Malpas going nowhere whether certain fans like it or not

I think he will be assessed after the Christmas run of games. If we go on another dismal run and were in the relegation mire he may well go.

Personally I think we'll be mid-table or there about, though I don't expect much from Saturdays game.

  95/96  was the last win at Brighton...since moving to Withdean we've had a couple of draws and defeat, besides the PO game.

It's his shake or fake time.

It's Snake or Cake for Malpas.

What would class as a "diabolical" result? A loss by a 3 goal margin ?

By the way, i think we will lose 3-0 tonight, with a defender getting sent off at some point.

i think we will win or maybe lose

We will win 3-1 tonight.

Didn't we win away when Milner was on loan with us a few years back?

How dare you, I am offended and sickened by your poor attampt at a joke!

I am by no means dirty and will not tollerate being called so!

 :D

 2-2...Parkin brace is my recall.

No.

2-2

Parkin x2 for us. Someone and Darius Henderson with a penalty for them I think.

I bow to your knowledge. or rather better memory!

Seem to remember the away game in 95/96 being a nice sunny day! Brighton were in the mire at the time if I recall correctly.

I am totally inspired by mighty Mo's rallying call today - 2-0 to us and we will continue all the way to Wembley glory.
ps In the unlikely event we do,pleeeeeeeeeeease could a well meaning TEFer remember to get me a ticket  ;)
pps Malpass Out NOW

Take a bag of Rabbit hutch sawdust. Keep it in the plastic bag and just be careful it doesnt swell too much.

Think we'll lose tonight, although narrowly, probably on penalties.  Hopefully will be available for a cheeky listen.  Still praying for a trip to Wembley...  14/1 to win the JPT, we're the longest odds of any side left in the competition - including Luton ffs!

Shame I'm not still living with the folks, otherwise would have definitely gone tonight.  Reckon it'll be a decent game.

The XI: Phil Smith; Jack Smith, Sean Morrison, Patrick Kanyuka (Capt), Michael Timlin; Jon-Paul McGovern, Craig Easton, Michael Pook, Mark Marshall; Barry Corr, Simon Cox

Substitutes: Substitutes: Peter Brezovan, Anthony McNamee, Billy Paynter, Kevin Amankwaah, Lilian Nalis

Kanyuka...captain?

What




The




Fuck

He's gonna captain the fuck out of the game

Lets hope so....long as we get through ile be happy.

You fucking what?

that is one bizare team selection

Dropping Paynter?!? Kanuyka and Morrison in defence sounds like suicide to me.

Perhaps he is after the pay off

Last but not least

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAST!!!!!!!

Not hopeful with that lineup......3-1 to the shitting Seagulls

I don't mind if we go through or not, as long as it's a nice clean game of football where the best team goes through. That's all that any sports fan could want.

Apart from Kanyuka being captain, I don't really see the selection as that odd.

I hope football is the winner tonight

You were actually at the game, so is the dropping of Paynter and McNamee worthy? I've never known Paynter to not put his shift in this season so his dropping surprises me.

Maybe it's more of a resting. He puts so much in that he's worn out. Like that morning I attempted the nozza.

how many was that?

all I have to say is


..........................WTF


I'm the Firestarter !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would put the Macca decision down to tactics, and the Paynter decision down to the fact he's played a lot of games recently. Don't think it's designed as a punishment

Macca was ineffective and has been for a while. Maybe it's because he has less pressure on him with Marshall being out. I know he gets marked out a lot of the time, but his off the ball movement isn't great. I see that as a good swap.

Paynter doesn't deserve to be dropped overall this season. Sounds like he's being rested.

We were ineffective all over the park. I think Malpas could have swapped out the entire team and I wouldn't be able to grumble. Maybe apart from Timlin.

whos co-commentating

Timlin captain

thats more like it

Mark Hanrahan

posts on here sometimes

Timlin is captain. Malpas is a joke, switching who's captain a few mins before the game.

Sounds like Brighton have made a few changes too.

Ed Hadwin says Timlin is captain. And for those that haven't cottoned on, I'm listening to Radio Swindon online, incase anybody wants to do the same!

Virgo





ergo CUNT

oooo. he used to write for 442 didnt he?

Good tackle from Kanyuka. Maybe he's good now. Sub him now whilst he can say he's had a good game.

Hanrahan is ace!

Just wanted to mention that

are you supposed to be aloud to listen online?

i CONCUR

It works, cheers Reevesy. For how long though.....

It's a good 45-60 seconds behind normal radio though!

yeah. Only for cup games though.

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyiippeeeeeee

Actually ben, you aren't. Its only FA Cup games. None of the other games (Carling or the previous JPT games) have been on. I guess the Beeb have just neglected to turn the concurrent feed off. It happens now and again.

You sure? I swear the JPT games used to be. Haven't bothered much recently though. Maybe they turned the JPT games off by mistake last time?

Pretty sure Ben. Certainly I haven't been able to hear the CC or JPT games direct from the BBC. Except for this one. So far.....

Ifil is well frozen out isn't he can't even make the bench with Aljofree injured - not sure what Malpas' problem is with him

Wooohooo this could be the game I listen to in about 12 months since cancelling STFC World...  I've missed Ed Hadwin...  Come on Town, please please please, give us something to cheer this season.  Hanrahan is a cockney  :D

perhaps MM is a secret Cuckold and Big Jerel has been doing the business a little too well

That's not nice......

Haven't seen a post from the old sage for a while. Does he still like chocolate?

Can we start a mark hanrahan top 5 appreciation thread?

Top 5 Mark Hanrahans?

Kanuyka gives away penalty with not needed clumsy challenge...

hack him down kanyuka. good work.

joy :(

He has less hair than Herthab. Allegedly. Oh fuck, penalty.....

penalty. kanyuka booooo ifil would never have conceded that penalty etc etc

booooo malpas out, ifil for manager

And Nicky Forster is a cunt.

he likes his glass jaw quote

The sound of the radio being turned off

First time post, wish it was at a better time...

SHIT FUCK MOTHER-Effing FUCK

 :doh:

evening all...we losing yet?

Dont sit on the fence, say what you really feel.

Far too much time on your hands Dave!

Im not reading the thread.

Is Hanrahan co commentating because whoever it is is really fucking me off?

Yes he is.

Hello folks.

I see i am not the only one mystified by Ifil's continumed omission? Weird one that...

Ifil does appear to be this seasons Zaaboub.

Didn't somebody say it was related to racist abuse his family got in the Arkells Stand?

what?

dont talk rubbish

Spurs are battering Pool I see.

wow the Yids are winning 3 nil

think ill watch that instead

Yep, Liverpool's reserves look like they've never played alongside eachother.

Their goalie was in nomansland for the 2nd.

He better flight of the conchords it up again.

I like this seasons BBC radio dude. He's ace.

hmmm 3 players that are lacking experience and match practise....was it really wise to start them all in the same game eh Maurice ?

My laptop is shit... taken 20 minutes to get radio back on...  are we a goal down?  My radio is all jerky...  how much for a decent new desktop that'll play the new FM and run the Internet without a 6 week wait for explorer to open?

As per the radio and above, Ifil is this seasons club scapegoat. His form was poor, but being frozen out of the 16 like this is out of order.

Cappin Kanyuka has scored a hat trick

Agreed....maybe like Pook he needs 4 months in the reserves before the management change there mind and decide after all he can do a job.

He's no Jerel Ifil....  To be fair, Ed Hadwin does speak a bit of sense, I think at the moment the eleven personnel on the pitch aren't the issue.

Easton off and they didnt say who came on did they?

nalis

Nalis :bye:

Judging by recent going's on we've probably forgotten to put the sub on and are playing 4-4-1

oooo corr goes close.

To the corner flag?

Lilian fucking Nalis, my favourite player.  Isn't he just a French Gareth Whalley?

To lasting more than 10 minutes without being injured?

How depresing is mark hanrahan? cheer up grumpy chops

A sexy french Gareth Whalley.

You can see Nalis was a very good player, but his legs aren't up to it any more. I'm not sure Whalley was ever up to it.

With gypo hair!

I liked Whalley...  He reminded me of me as a footballer.  Knew exactly what he should be doing, but was unable to produce anything.

Hanrahan is pretty harsh - sounds like a lot of people on here though, think his views have been swayed by the tef!

I really hope eventually Malpas chucks on Paynter but keeps Corr on!

Whilst the Ifil issue pre-occupies peoples mind, I'm equally concerned about the form of Easton. Arguably our best/most consistent player last season and IMO should be captain. WTF has happened to him?

Malpas

The last game he played he was captain and scored

Then dropped

What does that say to you ?

Wtf has happened to Swindon...  What's Andy King upto these days?

A shit injury hit pre-season seems to have knackered Easton. But even that is a weak excuse this far into the season.

On the Plymouth Argyle gravy train :D

Dennis Wise will need a job, he and Poyet will go full circle.

Malpas is a fucking loon

Says we are playing well on SSN!

Top of the class. You'll fit in just fine here.

Do all sides under the Championship bar the exceptions (Dario Gradi at Crewe, Turner at Hereford) hate their current manager?  In the years I've followed Town closely (99 onwards) the manager's position has always been a point of contention, even Sturrock.  Admittedly Wise was welcomed but he was constantly linked to bigger and better things.  Get us an appointment who'll excite the fans and give me a semi...

Barbara Windsor ?

Andy Gurney?

Her again, behave yourself Fred, she's old enough to be your granny.

get Ian Woan in

Fuck that (although you probably would Fred). Jessica Alba would be a better bet......

Are there any player managers in the football league at the moment? I couldn't think of any for a while the other day but I don't really like football so might have missed something.

Steve Holland is "Head Coach" at Crewe and gets stick.

I think you're right. Alot of managers have gone for Malpasesque form... too many having beaten Swindon along the way though :(

Sorry Dell, but I still remember going to the pictures in Gorse Hill to watch Carry on Camping and Carry on Doctor

Early morning exercises girl!!!
Bing bra is a barnes wallace.

Isn't Darren Ferguson still registered as a player at P'Boro?

I think he retired this summer... or was that Trollope?

she had lush tits

Someone tell me whats going on in the match pleaseeeeeeee

Not alot it would seem.

We've probably had the better of the second half, couple of half chances, but nothing really being created.  Marshall sounds half bright, but a bit "Ricky Shakes-esque".  Losing one nil from a Forster penalty, conceded by Kanyuka.

Malpas has taken off his shirt and his flashing his moobs to the players in an attempt to motivate them.
EDIT: You can listen on the BBC website, they've forgotten to turn commentary off...

Nothing. I think we had a shot earlier.

Fuck that

Lets talk about Babs' Tits

Damn, I should of gone now...

Our season begins to slip away then. Unless we get a really late equaliser and win on penalties. I think i would fucking love that.

Just put Paynter on, make it 3 up front and fucking go for it!

To be fair, if you're trying to run the entire Internet from your laptop, no wonder it's slow.

And Windsor's tits were rubbish even in her prime, Elliot

Oh FFS

woooo

here we go.

Too late! :cry:

exfuckinactly.

Ooops 2-0. Game over

boooo

Kanuyka in being rubbish shock.

Jerel Ifil, Jerel Ifil, Jerel Ifil, Jerel Ifil

Game over. Season over. Great.

Sigh. That really is season over surely?

WHAT THE FUCK

 :(

Bit sad our season is hinging at the moment on some tinpot trophy....  Nowt else to look forward to if we go out except a relegation dogfight...

Oh fuck, 2-0.  Gash, from a corner.

Well played Pat.  Cunt.


MAURICE MALPAS' BARMY ARMY

So Pat's given away a stupid penalty which led to a goal, and a needless corner which led to a goal.

Come back Jerel. Please.

Heh heh.

I feel a bit sorry for those who went, although anyone who expected any better's a bit of a plank.

Evening chaps. Sorry I arrived to the sounds of the 2nd goal!

NMH

Dogfight? This lot couldn't manage a bit of kitten slapping

We  are only 3 points above the relagation zone. If we put in a lack of effort and don't concentrate we can still have an exciting season.

BEAST

[url width=400 height=257]http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l208/DV85/beeeeeast.jpg[/url]

God we're shit at defending set pieces.

I honestly think, barring me mothers, Barbara Windsor's tit's were the first I had ever clapped eyes on. An experience that lives with me to this day.

Sorry but MM demanded a reaction to Saturday

You and your players did not deliver once again

That is your fault MM

Fuck IFil, he's shit. Bring back Reeeeeves.

Set pieces? Removing them very 2 words would give a more accurate account of our defending.

Shortlist of possible replacements?  Ian Holloway, Andy King.....  McMahon?!

Yes, yes we are. Very.

EXACTAMUNDO

Another set piece. Despite us conceding these as a matter of habit, and Malpas noticing this, do we not bother practicing in order to put this right?

I think she got where she did today on personality dont you?
She has very small nipples by the way.

Inclined to agree.

I can almost guarentee that MM will try and take positives.

God we're shit.

Seeing as it caused a stir, is that better?

I'm trying so hard to stop myself from writing about getting rid of Malpas.
Were not going to go down, I just can't see where were going.

That's because we are not going anywhere at all.

our season has gone right up the shitter! i blame bart!

i cant help thinking we are in the spurs situation, a clueless manager ruining good players, a decent manager will get the best out of our players, and to be fair for this league we have a pretty good squad of players

that's better.

...and this is it. We do have enough decent players not to be in this mess. But Malpas will have to jump because he won't be pushed.

Exactly what i was thinking. Get Holloway in, get the place buzzing and the confidence will flow back and the players will start playing.
Even if he is not the greatest manager in the world, he would do the job.

It's alright you thinking it, it's AF that matters tho!

Well I suspect they do practice it (at least that's what both players and management keep saying). So maybe they're just not very good at it.

It's okay, we have Holloway tied up as a replacement within the next 3 games...

Deja vu

I wonder if he'll be in the town end on Saturday taking in the game?

Grr not even Chelsea are winning so my accumulators fucked...

Bollocks, we're stuck with Malpas til the end of the season.

Thankfully this will be over soon. This game that is.

so off goes smith who is a natural defender and leaves timlin in a back 3 who is a make shift defender...you do have to question MM's thinking, so totally in-experienced defence now, I know we need to attack but if you concede 1 more it is definetly game over for sure at 2 there is always that glimmer of hope

Out of mild interest has Holloway been linked to any of the vacant managerial positions?

FFS. I suppose I didn't think we would get anything out of today or on Saturday v Leicester, but it is fucking depressing that there is nothing to look forward to before November is even half way through.

Cock.

Fuck me you ARE optimistic

Nope, because he's all signed up to replace MM within the next 3 games

Might as well be....for the next 3 mins

You tease.

I thought that was Sanchez

Yup, Lucien Sanchez

Well game over then.

Will someone text in something fun to cheer everybody up please.

Even more of a worry, not only are we getting beaten yet again. but thats two matches we cant even get a consoliation goal.

Sigh. November 12th and not alot to look forward to...

Bring on Leicester!

If we beat Leicester on Saturday I will run naked around the DR Stand.

You're just trying to provoke someone else apart from you into posting they hope we lose

Be careful Dell, i said i,d my show my balls in the railway vue in histon saturday if we lost. I've not long been  home. Stupid stupid bet!

I hope we win. If I've got to go to a wedding in Derby every other fucker can suffer too.

booo he only just got my halftime email.

Nozzza????

Just read out an email from nozza. No mention of handicrafts tho

Hehe tef flooding the radio, they not read out my txt?   >:(

...or mine, although it was a bit lengthy

Boo I don't think I got in quick enough before the malpas interview before I guessed what he'd say.

So we can't get the ball in the net and we can't defend. Other than that we are mustard.

Does anybody else want to rip his head off as soon as you hear his voice?

Same shit different day!

alot of us Ifil supporters have short memories, fuck off you cunt.

I've been watching Swindon and Ifil alot longer than you have Malpas!!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Never lose a goal in training, that's OK then!

FUCK ME, I WANT TO PUNCH SOMEBODY!

Groundhog day!

Ifil doesn't seem well regarded by Malpas does he.

I take it he's making himself look much better with this interview?

I'm not looking forward to it.

That's the only negative thing I've seen you post this season!

You are right though.

missed it

whaT DID HE SAY

Might have to get the eyepatch out before Leicester

FFS, someone confiscate the man's spade.

Sorry, that's it!  I have lost it with the bloke!

FUCK OFF NOW YOU USELESS SWEATY TWAT!

What a waste of fucking space!  There is more personality in a lump of shit than Maurice Malpas!

He slagged off Babs' tits

I was taken aback with that as well.

What did he say about Ifil?

oooh, so that is what happened to Ifil.

(don't let racism get in the way of a joke, ask Jim Davison).

I like what you did there!  Made me chuckle!

What did he say

basically Hadwin asked Malpas as to why Ifil wasnt playing with our defence leaking goals.

Malpas said some people have short term memories as we were conceeding goals when Jezzer was playing as well.

Thast the first time I've genuinly been pissed off at something hes said!!

Sounds like he's losing the plot with his interviews now.

He'd already lost everything else.

Like
Like I said, same shit different day!

We are quality in training, we need a bit of luck, we dominated parts of the game, our performances are good but we haven't scroed the goals, Ifil is a useless peice of shit!  Yadda Yadda Yadda!

They've never really been his strongest suit though have they?

Except his job >:(

Oh and he said that he JUST cannot understand it. We NEVER conceed in training and funny enough Swindon always wins.

Basically he was asked "where's Ifil"

Responded with how Kanyuka played well Saturday (as has Morrison) and we were playing badly with Ifil and that we had short memories (not to remember that).

Otherwise same old shit. Defending Achilles heel, didn't score, blah blah

I'd rather pull my own teeth out than listen to his voice for a prolonged period!

Well he hasn't really slagged off the fans or anything tbh. Just seems that he seems to be saying wrong things now. Before i could see what he was getting at. On the evidence of this one i can't.

Everybody hurts!  Fuck Off!

I'm going to bed!

I'm turning the radio off and BBC HD on. From zeroes to Heroes one might say.

You would never believe that Swindon fans would react at the beginning of the season to a JPT loss in the way they are tonight. Now that shows how much our hopes have dimmed since the beginning of the season.

Give Malpas time, let him get his own players in and then lets see where we are.

to be honest what he says in his interviews really dont bother me, certainly not to the extent of some people.

If he talks shit so what. I dont think how he interviews is any reflection on his skills as a manager.

That slight dig at the fans did piss me off though. Short term memory about Jerel Ifil, he orginally signed on loan nearly 6 (SIX) years ago. He has played for Swindon 208 times and I reckon I've watched over 100 more of them than Malpas has....

All a little melodramatic

Yeah, but you do have a bit of a short memory DV.

That post is 6 months old. He's had that chance already.

Hello.

That was really really shit. that ranked alongside onouras teams. we are fucked.

Right match report. Not one player played well. Not one.

Kanyuka was really shit, corr was a waste of fucking space. no creativity whatsoever. Brighton were shit and i mean shit we were worse. One of the dullest most insipid games of football ever. I was so bored i tried to get axs thrown out.

Total and utter shit.

Not good then.

That was the worst swindon performance i have ever seen. It was so passionless. it made barnet last year look like the champions league.

I was kind of expecting Mex to say we did OK apart from the obvious. The reality is far more depressing.

I've got short term what?

face

Im really trying hard to put a positive spin on it, jack smith did ok. erm cox ran about a bit. I cant think of anything more than that.

Was herthabs head shiny

Did you go to Histon Mex? If so was it worse than that? It's not looking good...

It can't have been worse than Histon. Dear God

Match report:

Kanyukas pass to the invisible man led to...  oh sod it, can't be arsed.

Load of cack. At least they had onions for my burger.

He did say as bad as Barnet, and that was nearly as bad as Histon.

I didnt go to histon. i kissed herthas head. and i fingered whits.

Brighter than Saturday? FFS not a high bar is it? That's like being brighter than an XFactor contestant

Did whits give a loud squeal?

Actually i've been to so many shockers recently, was it as bad as Brighton in April? Pretty sure you went to that as a comparison, that was piss poor also.

i think we had one header on target. there was absolutely no urgency. Marshall has the touch of a rapist. Corr is a joke. Kanyuka might as well have had a brighton shirt on.

It was that bad the brighton fans were cheering at one point when we completed a pass

That is fucking funny. Well it isn't but it is.

It gets worse and worse and I'm starting to worry about when it's going to stop. Tonight was shocking. We've had 2 meaningful efforts on goal in two games and can't defend for shit. Corr does nothing but stand offside, Marshall was useless and didn't deliver into the box enough, Kanyuka was awful. The only bright spots were J Smith, Morison and Nalis in the second half. I can't remember the least time I saw us play well, or even fight and battle (wasn't at Oldham or Northampton), and we don't even look like scoring at the moment! The game was so bad we resorsted to goading the home fans queueing for food, much to the disgust of the 409 stewards and police.

Also, much thanks to Mex for letting us student types drink in his fine establishment pre-game.

haha, that was ace...i love the johnstone paint!

oh and the Kanyuka error was pure class...i think we'd be unlucky not to be in the top 6 if we continue to perform like that!

Oh how I am looking forward to seeing Brighton fans tomorrow, let alone players. Lucky me!

I've had more fun contracting a disease. In fact I've had more fun getting the vaccinations.

Morrison still looks like he will be class, but other than that I think I'd have got more pleasure by stuffing a meat skewer up my nose. Whatever was in central midfield was painfully laborious, the strikers got pissed off with chasing after hopeful balls humped vaguely in their direction, the defence was the usual insipid shambles with the standard idiot set piece goal just to round it all off. I'm afraid Marshall looked way short of the standard required, which I don't like saying given what's happened to him on the personal front.

But If that's the "reaction" to the Histon game give me a gun about now - then you'll see a reaction. I just don't know whether or not to shoot myself first or take out half the squad beforehand.

The whole team bar Morrison was shit. Kanyuka was to blame for the second goal and as Mex said, may as well wore a Brighton shirt. Good catching up with some old mates tonight though!

"WE'RE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE" ;)

Nalis
Yinka
and the right back from Swansea who also doesn't play much.

Eight more and we will really be going places.

RS seemed to think Kanyuka was doing a good job, bar the two mistakes for each goal.

So in summary,Mex fingered whits and buffed hertheb's head, big Pat's signed for Brighton, Marshall has "the touch of a rapist", some would rather contract bad aids and shove scewers up their nose than watch the game, Nalis is a sexy French Gareth Whalley, Barnet are in the Champions League and we still have big Mo at the top! Interseting times!

season of the century!

That was really quite appalling.

Marshall didn't provide a threat for us and was constantly making errors. Corr couldn't win the ball in the air or hold it up or pass it - get Paynter back.

Kanyuke doesn't seem to have any awareness of what is going on around him. Timlin worked hard as did Smith but both found themselves out of position at times.

Cox got no service from midfield and looked frustrated. He was well marked by Brighton but we didn't use that to our advantage.

Can't remember JPM really getting in to the game.

Nalis was OK when he came on but didn't do anything to change the game.

We miss a decent central defender, Peacock and Paynter.

Tuaca is ace though.

You know somethings wrong when your best players are your fullbacks.

We looked toothless last night. A severe lack of ability on display, and for the first time the substitutions (or lack of) really frustrated me. Thats the last time I ditch uni for a match!

Couldn't manage the chips though Sussex!-Ta for the left overs.Dont really know whether we were bad or good  due to a combination of the distance and the glare from Herthab's head,could only see as far as the penalty area-but we were shit in there.Culdnt understand why Macca didnt come on at half-time.their right back was a munter.Dont know whether Cox stormed out of the half-time team talk but he was on the pitch 10 mins before everyone else.

oh dear same old same old then from your reports folks.
malpas's chopping and changing when we are well into the season points to someone not really knowing what they are doing.
it's been inevitable for a while now,just a matter of when he gets the boot.
still think he has more time yet personally.

In fairness I think chopping and changing in the JPT is sort of understandable. But what I don't understand is why the subs were left so late when it clearly wasn't working.

But to be fair I wasn't there.

We were all saying that at the time Batch - it obviously wasn't working but yet no changes were made until it was too late.

Iv'e been away.

Could somebody sum it up for me please (I take it that we lost)

Putting a positive spin on it, we ain't gonna be hassled by glory supporters at Wembley and there's a really good chance we could get revenge against Histon (twice) next season!

Thanks for that Jan

JPT away at Brighton. Lost 2-0. Two defensive errors again (1 pen, 1 dodgy back pass leading to corner which we didn't defend).

We had more of the ball did fuck all with it.

Most people who went said they were shit, we were shitter.

But it was better than Histon.

Just seen he goals on the news

1) To be fair didnt look like a penalty
2) nalis lost his man completely

Does anyone think we're a bit like England have been. Turn up to games, run around for a bit but don't actually do anything and are cack - like we are going through the motions. The difference between our good performances and our shit ones seems to be attitude and team spirit. Obviously can't comment on the Brighton game but seemed that way against Histon.

First and last time I'll compare us to England I reckon.

Until the next penalty shootout

I look forward to the highly respected Italian making us half decent again.

Definitely Si. We don't have anyone except maybe Pook who play for the shirt and not the money. IMO we need a few more players who actually really care about playing for Swindon.

Bull, Pook isn't playing for some pride in the shirt, he's playing for a flippin contract!

I see what you're saying, but sadly I think that might lead to team including the likes of Iris, Fred, DRS and Bart. While such a team might not lack passion, I think we'd struggle tbh

You forgot Toni.

Its a sound idea in theory but where are these passionate swindon fans who are good enough to play in league 1 coming from exactly?

Most of our yoofs aint from Swindon from a start

My first post on this as i havent been back long!

Poor!!!

No shot on goal in the first half.........Marshall needed a snorkel...way out of his depth and stayed on the whole game, that was a joke.

Timlin played well, as did the midfield in the second half but we never ever looked like scoring as they didnt seem to be any gameplan at all.

Brighton were poor and we were a poor second.

I feel really dejected as i really thought we would go all the way in this and Brighton were there for the taking if we had managed to string more than two passes together in any one passage of play.

I didnt go to Histon like some of the die hards who stood behind me last night but this is up there with the worst town peformances that i have ever witnessed - 1983 onwards.

The players look shattered and devoid of any spirit at the final whistle, some walked right over to the fans to applaud but they eyes seemed to have glazed over.

If we beat the scummy foxes on Saturday i will be amazed.

Unless we have a relegation dogfight (looks likely) the season is now officially over.

I just hope we have enough gas in the tank to gain the points we need!

Yes-awarded for a dive by that little shight Knight

No, we've got a decent central defender, but the scottish twat in charge has fucked him up, and now won't even put him on the bench.

If part of AF's 5 year plan is to get us into League 2 again it's all going very well, otherwise it's a big bag of shit! >:(

What an utter joke of a match last night. Two shite teams, one shite ground and only a half decent chicken and mushroom pie to write home about (yep, no chocolate in sight!). Bloody hard to bring myself to revisit it on here today... and even harder to summarise last night. No joke - literally one of the most inept performances I've seen in a bloody long time. Clueless and for my money indicative of a team lacking leadership on and off the park and playing with zero faith in the manager. It hurts me to say that as I'm usually a very, very patient bloke. I gave Kingy the best part of two years behind I finally gave up the ghost!!

The goals conceded were really unlucky - two horrible bobbles that in truth PK could do little about. The challenge for the first was unnececesary but to be fair, had it not bobbled up, the ball would have ended up sailing out of the ground. What irked me was the sheer lack of spirit and organisation. We huffed and puffed but showed very little quality of a pitch that generally should have encouraged zipping the ball about on the deck.

Still sulking tonight. I really thought that with all MM talk of taking the JPT seriously, we could have at least squeezed in a Wembley trip to lighten the gloom. OK, it was only the JPT and our much improved league form gives me a bit of hope but by Christ MM needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat on Saturday.

I sat chatting with a Brighton fan on the bus back to the centre....he reckons they will shoot up the table when all the injured players come back.
I told he must have 14 players out!!
Reality check - Brighton will be one of the teams who will be down there or there abouts come the trapdoor in April....trouble is I can also see another team down there too.....

malpas couldn,t pull one off in the shower

Ummm what?

Weak JR. Also , and ' are not the same.
