I might be up for going tonight if anyone else is. 3 car spaces available if anyone is interested?

How much is it?

tempting....

It cant be more than a few quid. Its normally a fiver I think

Can someone post a list of the friendly dates please? I don't have a clue who, when or where and i generally like attending friendlies. Thanks lovers.

Thank you very much. May it rain virgins.

Do they have a bar and can I drink beer whilst watching the game?

Yes and yes.  Upstairs bar, large windows out onto the ground.

It is tempting but I think I might just drink at home.

Will probably go to this now, as I have nothing better to do!

Tuesday 4th may not be a full first team... DW & GG will be at the RAF "The Don & Danny Night" that evening

count me in if you're going Si...

i miss football

My daddio and other half will be there - I cannot be arsed

If a couple more people get involved I will give you a text later Deev.

I think most people are sane though so don't put off any other plans.

I'm up for going. It's only £6 according to the OS.

If Bennett drops out I will let you know, otherwise the car is full already!

Is it? I assumed from the thread that only DV was in. Never mind.

Fuck this bollocks.

haha, gay.

DRS is coming too.

I fear bennett may have complicated things somewhat :)

Bennett just 'phoned to say I can have his place.

Yup that's cool.

What time do you think we should go?

I dunno, 7ish?

i am the confuser!

I've changed my mind now and want to go. Who's going to drop out?

Si Pie just rang me to tell you all that the whole trip is off.

Did we win?

35-0. Samba scored all of them.

Not good enough.

tee hee! I couldnt be arsed and its only down the road really - my bad and lazy!!

I'm glad I've stayed in. Embarrassing teen body's followed by dragon's den.

Oh I dont like that horrid programme - I dont wish to see Minky minnies and infected bums when Im eating my dinner!!! MING!

It's all spots and man boobs so far. Pretty week.

Scenes of full frontal nudity and intimate examinations coming up according to the c4 announcer.

urgh liver problems. I'm going to get some fags. Don't like this.

Last week they did Tanorexia - It hit a real nerve and put me off my pasta!! :(

Any ideas what's happening in the pointless friendly?

2nd half just about underway. We're 1 nil down. Our number 8 looks handy otherwise been poor

Is that the fella Everton released?

Wilson out!

2-0 down now.

Number 8 is off he turned to shit as soon as I said that. Still 1-0 But it shows none of the youths are ready

The Squad...


Swindon Town: Mark Scott; Nathan Thompson, Will Evans, Sean Morrison, Elliot Knight; Mark Marshall, Stephen Morrison, Anton Ademole, Billy Bodin; Seb Broomfield, Jordan Record.

Who are Will Evans, Elliot Knight and Jordan Record?

Will Evans is a second year scholar, centre back. I believe the other two are first years, no idea on positions.

They're all 2nd year scholars.

Who was  mark clarke he played at hungerford

No Yinka Kasali Casal again either... contract set to be terminated perhaps?

Will Evans is a centre-half, Elliot Knight is a left back, and Jordan Record is, I think, a striker.

Was at the ground but not in the squad. I think that speaks for itself.

It was more entertaining trying to work out what had been drawn on the pitch.

There was definitely a deformed cock and balls on there.

Certainly does. Is he unfit? If he isn't, the fact he can't get into a youth side must surely make him one of the worst players we've had? Surely, we're not being harsh to him? Even our most loathed got into the first team every now and again :)

I thought Elliott Knight and Will Evans were decent, although I think one or both may have been culpable in gifting Chippenham their second goal. Stephen Morrison did a decent job of breaking up play and putting himself about I thought - and Ademole looked really good (good touch, nice control) until bloody Si Pie et al showed up, at which point the entire team got steadily worse.

I witnessed us string six successive passes together. It was after that we went to shit.

Mark Marshall is never going to be good enough for the first team is he?

We can play as many subs as we want in these friendlies, he and Casal can't even sit on the bench in the firsts (that's what they were brought in to be a part of). We need to get these two off of the wage bill as soon as possible.

Either that or we've suddenly cracked his abilities and he's amazing, but we don't want anyone poaching him pre-season so we're waiting until the end of the transfer window when he'll take the world by storm.

This is definitely what's going on.

I believe from one of last year's programs that he's the club anti-racism ambassador, so at least he has some use.

I don't think you can argue that football is more important than the fight against racism Nemo.

He's not paid to be a fucking black supremacist though, he's supposed to be a professional footballer.

classic ignorant racist response.

Careful, you'll have Ironside and Davis in here in a minute and then we'll all be sorry.

Yes, I'm an ignorant racist who wants to write about football.

I think you may slightly have misjudged Ben's tone.

I didn't misjudge anything.

If Si was old enough to grow a little tash then he'd look like a spotty hitler.

I'd send the layabouts to the chamber first :)

 ??? Self description Benjamin?

Meh, I only wanted to know what the bloody score was.

Also I feel DV should be credited with the humourous (yes its true!) moments of the evening - firstly letting Marshall know in no uncertain terms that "I could've scored that!", when Marshall fired a close range, angled effort high and wide, and then later when after seeing Marshall spurn another chance, commented that "I could've had a hattrick by now", only for some genius to pipe up, "so could he, if he could shoot!".

Indeed.

ahh. abusing our own players mixed with dreams of our own ability.

hmmm... TheTownend.com posters in more negative modd than Thisisstfc.co.uk posters over this match shocker... get over it... yoofs lose to Chippenham 1st team... no contest... who gives a shit?

No one is negative are they? it was just a very very shit game

Really comes as no surprise. Don't chippenham normally dick our 3rd team in the Wiltshire Shield anyway?

Twas the red wine talking shit again - my bad

It was so crap, that we just spent time in the bar second half.

Hi all were you impressed with our keeper Chris Snoddy?

I overheard a couple of players discussing his ability in the bar afterwards and it might be that Swindon may put in a bid for him by what they were saying. Seems the management were very impressed.

Your thoughts?

 Yeah you were good Chris

A swap deal involving Kasali Yinka Casal has been mooted- he's an ace left back, you should put in a good word for him.

:notworthy:

He made one save all game from what I can remember. I can't see why we'd want to sign him considering we've got Lucas and Smith. Mark Scott looks decent as back up as well, he made some good reaction saves last night.

Don't think signing Snoddy would be of any benefit. As Sam said, think we're sorted in terms of goalkeepers.

He's got a funny name.

If Mark Marshall can play for Swindon so can I....

DV would have scored at least twice last night.

I expect greatness on Saturday.

have you seen mark marshall play? you dont have to be greatness to be better than him.

You are one yard out, at a slight angle....you have an open goal to aim for but you are hitting it first time with your weaker foot, where does the ball go?

a. straight in the goal
b. over the bar
c. you have no control over where it goes but it will go somewhere in the big open goal because in truth, its more difficult to miss.


If you answered A you are Simon Cox, B makes you a Mark Marshall & C makes you DV.

d) over the bar because you were thinking more about which of the celebrations you practised earlier to go with

Guess who.

 :clap:

sounds like a Bennett thing to me

Voila.
