5pm uk time Bob

never been funny,nor interesting at all.
tedious

Whats the weather like

Who are the mods here?

I was all for letting Ironside stay.  He was offensive, but I could put up with that.  But this fool is simply boring, and that's harder to stomach.

The drivel is only going to continue if we give him/her the chance.  Time to pull the plug, I think.

will there be any links floating around to this game?

In Austria but sat at a computer... that's what's wrong with this generation.... innit.

Sweet Jesus, this bloke's a nob. A lot less annoying folk have been banned before.

what's with all the post edits deleting?

Check out da backdrop to the ground - & check it out laterz in da Adver.

SONN do you want to  be a mod so you can take revenge on those calling for you to be banned?

it must be spacey - otherwise they'd be gone by now.

Is that ali fucking g?

I delete nuffin. Must be Lucy getting her way wiv the mod.

Can u see my attachment above showin da backdrop 2 the ground?

No.  Are you in da bungalow?  Are you Dom, or Dick.  I know which one Id guess.

What, like the ones that call me tw@t, c@*!, to$$er etc? Yeah, I'm up for it.

Can you see the attachment above please.

Also see the club house
<------------

Yeah it's very nice.

I'm confused. where are you posting from?

Check it out wiv pics from Adver later. Msgs relayed via moby. Gotta go soon. Enjoy the game.

bye.

All the Romanian fans have got traffic cones on their heads - bloody student teams. Bit like Team Bath.

where has the pathetic chav language gone?

Go Go Cherno Samba

Swindon Town: Phil Smith; Nathan Thompson, Sean Morrison, Jerel Ifil, Lecsinel Jean-Francois; Jon-Paul McGovern, Craig Easton, Michael Timlin; Alan O'Brien, Cherno Samba, Lloyd Macklin

Substitutes: Kevin Amankwaah, Callum Kennedy, Billy Paynter, Jonathan Douglas, Gordon Greer, Anthony McNamee

now lets play guess the formation.

Smith

Thompson
Morrison
Ifil
Lecsinel

JPM
Easton
Timlin
O'Brien

Samba
Macklin



or


Smith

Thompson

Morrison
Ifil
Lecsinel

JPM?

Easton
Timlin

O'Brien
Macklin

Samba

4-5-1 with Samba lone striker methinks but with JPM sat behind him "in the hole".

Macklin wide right O'Brien wide left.

Smith

Thompson
Morrison
Ifil
Lecsinel

Macklin
Easton
Timlin
O'Brien

JPM

Samba

maybe i suppose?!

Adver say it's a 4-2-3-1

Smith
Thompson Morrison Ifil Lescinel
Easton Timlin
O'Brien JPM Macklin
Samba

Very unusual formation but similar to what I was thinking kinda.

Could well be Deev

I quite like that set up actually and it ties in with DW's thinking about a lone striker in the first game

the fm08 king formation

it is indeed dave.

FM IS NOT FUCKIN REAL

Here he comes! Jessica fucking Fletcher!

Football is mentioned in these supposed wind ups. I don't bother myself with such tedious subjects.

Live feed for this game anywhere then?

it is :(

SoNN isn't spacey, it isn't anyone already registered that i know of. The ip is Swindon Borough Council, but i suspect that includes all SBC facilities, so if the library, Oasis, Link or some of facility has public Wi-Fi, it could be anyone.

And FM is as close to reality as is possible. I remain convinced of certain players abilities just off the back of FM alone.

Anybody speak or understand romanian,it looks like some sort of online live text thing.

I would have thought it would have been Macklin and Samba up front. But maybe not.

town 1 - 0 up apparently

From the romanian commentary it would appear we have scored in the 8th minute. No idea who though.

It was a header, no idea who scored tho

Looks like it was header, who tho is anyones guess,I'll go for greer,perhaps we should run a sweepstake  :D

BARE Swindon. British reusesc its deschida Scorpio in urma unei buffet from colt Silviu Long because invins with her buffet from head

Only mentions the goalie it seems - own goal maybe?

Doesn't it say Craig Easton....or am I imagining that.

It was Easton

What's the link for this commentary?

Official site says it was Lescinal

10 mins 

Empty swindon. British manage to open the score after a bruising corner Silviu long being defeated by a blow to his head

20 mins

great opportunity for the goal of Craiova, which, after a personal stage, a sutat dangerous, but porter Englishman intervene and overrule

Brilliant translation :D 'bruising corner' !

Thats what Cavendish Square used to be called.

What will be interesting this pre-season, and a measure of how far we have come, is whether or not we can keep a clean sheet, even against pony sides like Universitatea Craiova.

To be fair Michael they banged in 3 against Notts County

is Lucas injured as seems abit strange that he's not been involved in either game?

Nice to see we've been working on set piece strategies

And yes, Lucas is injured.

read somewhere he's got a dodgy back.

UC are one of the top 3 or 4 sides in Romania and certainly no pushovers.

The Romanian league is worse than the SPL no?

I know one other person that uses that word in that context. The first time I had no idea if pony was good or bad, but got the general idea later on. I know what it means now.

Think I've only ever used the slang terms 'boracic' and 'butchers' on a more than once basis.

Depends on how you view "worse than" Craiova regularly get 25,000+ to home games so they have a large fan base, and Steaua and Dinamo Bucharest are regulars in the Champions league latter stages, which Celtic and Rangers rarely are....so I would say no its a higher standard of football than the Jocko Premier.......sorry to all the jockos out there :D

Wouldn't worry how good they are it's a freindly. Fenerbache and Steau are better, but look how we did after those.

I agree but what I guess I am trying to get at is that just because some fans have not heard of these teams do not assume they are "pony", as more often than not they actually arent and are of a pretty good standard.

8)

Game over it seems, ended 1-0. Nice.

Agreed, they are both pretty useful sides.

Albeit a pre-season friendly, still a good result against a good team, it all helps build up morale of the squad.

Just read the report on the adver, I think 2 or 3 replaced words would have made it sound like a Romanian porn movie! :D

Fuck off, says we scored from a short corner! Typical that theres no evidence!;)

I assume since nothing has been mentioned about Samba, he didn't do that well?

Only time he gets a mention on the Adver match report is in the team listings, so he can't have done anything horribly wrong or brilliantly right.

Well I am pleased we were able to maintain the shut out.

I think I am right in saying that last pre-season we did not achieve that until we played Plymouth U15s on the eve of the new season.

Yup. This season > last season

Already?

He'll be in a wheelchair come the end of the season if he plays every game in goal for us.

Yep read it earlier this mornin. Douglas could've started cause Timlin had a slight muscle strain in training too. I think it was the OS i read it from.

At least smith had a clean sheet - that'l boost his confidence even moreso with the defenders we've signed.

Where did McGovern play?

The day Danny Wilson was hired we played Orient away and McGovern played up front alongside Cox. He had a very rare good game that day.

Could be thinking of playing him up there with the striker shortage?

Mayhap ... DW is trying a few things out on this tour, including getting Timlin to play in a black bra and Smithy to snort Powerade.
