You are so thoughtful and considerate Batch xxx

Any chance of the SAS running a coach to hereford?

Almost none.

Probably more chance of running one to Ciren to be honest.

Anyway, bollocks to going to that shithole in Hereford.

I quite fancy a trip down to Poole though. I might take half a day, take the family and send them off for fish and chips while the match is on.

Any decent chippies in the vicinity, stfcinbmth?

what was the name of the pub we stopped at on the way to and from hereford? it was really nice as i recall

The New Inn rings a bell. This one?

Hoping to make the Poole game :D

Chez Fred is a very good chippy in Westbourne, where I live. Think they won chippy of the year a little while ago. Celebrated its 21st birthday a few weeks back and they did a deal of cod and chips for a £1 (proceeds to charity) all day long, as many as you wanted. Had three servings through the day  :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak

http://www.chezfred.co.uk/

I bet your heart loved you that day shady...

Captain Cod in Christchurch, about 20/30 minutes away from Poole, but the best fish and chips i have EVER had.

Must be very near me then

Talk Talk send em packing down the Quay, lots of grub and pub down there

Think we need an allday pub crawl starting from Mudeford,then including Christchurch and Boscombe
before we end up in Poole!  :beers:  :clap:

Jeez we've got some lookers ain't we.

I can see 8 TEFers in that photo (me included).

I clock Fred Elliot, Iffy's Onion Bhajii, Si Pie, Zoe  :banana:, Sam STFC, Mrs Sam STFC, Craig, German, VD, Narbs, Chris (Jodie's mum) and I am sure that Sonic is in there somewhere. Oh and Millom  :D

Sonic is stood right next to me.

Ah yes, he had a flat cap on, didn't he?

Who's the guy stood facing the camera in the black jacket and Town shirt?

Iffy's Onion Bhaji.

Fifty bonus points for naming these absentees.

[url width=597 height=400]http://www.redarmyloudnproud.org.uk/pictures/AlansPics/hereford07-04-07/14.jpg[/url]

Sharpy (I forget his forum name), Spuddy and the lovely Bennett.

Who also features in this one in the CG car park, along with Tails and VD.

[url width=597 height=400]http://www.redarmyloudnproud.org.uk/pictures/AlansPics/hereford07-04-07/2.jpg[/url]

FF crew.

Better lookers than the one's i've met off here. Yeah you know who you are.

I think the photo captured my best side  :gay:

Ha ha!

Remember those days ha ha i'm not so much of a tramp anymore.

yay me!

Give Us A S

Nottingham Forest at home announced then http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~2066665,00.html , not a bad friendly.

Sounds a dull one to me. Ah well, its only a pre-season friendly. They are supposed to be dull

Better Opposition worth a game isn't it.

Yeah, was hoping for a top flight team. Suppose its a lot better than getting a Man Utd XI though.

Where's SONN? Is there not a trip abroad at some point in the next few weeks?

Superdupermarine added. 14th Jul, 7:45

Woo! Can I go dressed as Douglas Bader? Will someone please whip my legs off beforehand?

Dont worry he/she is peddling the same old bollocks on the adver forum. They can have the opportunity...

For anyone venturing down for the Poole game by train this is the pub just across the road from the station and not too far from the ground

http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/13/1384/George/Poole

Good shout.

Intend to have a few myself so might very well go by train from Christchurch

Let me know what your up to Leefer and we'll sort something out

Will deffo be going.....will sort out things abit nearer the time mate.......are you still thinking of going Brock v Bashley?

I'll have to check the dates on that one, but yeah would be good

Details of Tour announced:

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~2092364,00.html

As mentioned somewhere else it's KSC of 2. Bundesliga fame and Al-Sabb from the country boasting the worst international team on the very first FIFA game ever (Qatar).

It's a bit confusing as to who we're playing when though.

(Sorry if someone's already posted this)

Karlsruhe's Matthias Cuntz (awesome)

[url width=194 height=259]http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:sikZSH7H9D4gmM::www.ka-news.de/fussball/ksc/ksc-news/Jungprofi-Matthias-Cuntz-Der-KSC-ist-eine-Herzensangelegenheit;art7581,420194&t=1&usg=AFrqEze4orPPbIZfPpISvs14c2jBm-ekjw[/url]

KSC have us down as just promoted from League 1. They must not have been at Wembley.

http://www.ksc.de/aktuelles/anzeigen/news/ksc-vereinbart-trainingslager-testspiele.html

"Am Freitag, den 23.07. ist in Hallein der englische League 1-Aufsteiger Swindon Town Gegner des KSC.  Die Partie beginnt ebenfalls um 18.30 Uhr."

This is all absolutely surreal to me.

For anybody interested (not many I'm sure), their number 10, Massimilian Porcello is just coming back from 18 months out injured. He's scored a couple of pretty good free-kicks in the past. I would recommend a quick search for him on Youtube.

Al Sadd won't be a pushover either if some of their signings are anything to go by. Just signed the ex Lyon/Lille striker Abdul Keita for 8 million euro's alongside a Brazilian striker for the same fee. Also got the ex Brum striker Quincy Owusu-Abeyie and Pompey's full-back Nadir Belhadj.

The official website says its Al Sabb when its actually Al Sadd

YEs, I thought the OS got it wrong when I couldn't find "al Sabb".

I wasn't sure about going to the Forest game. It just doesn't excite me. But Now I've noticed it clashes with the Swindon Mela. So its definitely off the cards now.

curry wins every time...

The Mela is fucking awesome.

Is there any dodgy website we could watch this game tonight?

I doubt it highly - who would actually broadcast a pre-season on-tour friendly featuring Swindon Town?!

Our game against a Romanian side from last years Austrian tour was Broadcasted online.....

They were a couple of years ago reeves. May find some dodgy arab site

Wow. Some channels will show anything!

P2p4u are not showing it. I'll try Iraq goals later or something. Cheers

Karlsruhe played their first game in Austria last night against polish team Arka Gdynia and lost 3-0. Their fans are going on as if it is the worst result in the history of the world and they are definitely going to be relegated this season (Despite just beating FC Metz in their previous game). I dread to think what they will be saying when Pericard gets a hattrick in a 5-0 win on Friday.

As per the previous page, anyone with a stream?

No, but we're losing.

1-1

Where are you getting this information?

Austin scored for us

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~2100626,00.html

Austin equalises. His form seems to have continued.

Oh official site has updated.

http://football-livescore.co.uk/games/2010_07_23/friendly-matches/karlsruhe-swindon-livestream-watch-online

It hasn't updated our goal yet though :).

This is surreal.

2-1 up now.

Make that 2-2 actually.

Who got the goals?

Is that link working for people?

Prutton for us, Kerbs for them.

pruttom and kerbs

haha this is quality. I think that must be a typo of Krebs. No Porcello in the squad for KSC :(

No just links to a page of adverts when I click the play button thing. :(

Works for me, even has a unique GOAL sound when a goal is scored in the game.

Link doesn't state goalscorers does it?

Nope. I'm getting the scorers off the OS.

We're winning 3-2 now.

WOAHH I had my volume turned up and we scored. Scared the crap out of me!

It was Austin who made it 3-2

From the pictures shown on the OS, it looks like it's pissing it down!

And Austin scored his second, and our third.

Karlsruhe fans are using our OS as their source of information as to what's happening in this game

Ball and Kennedy on for Pericard and Rose

and McGovern seems to have come on for Kennedy and O'Brien. I know O'Brien is a bit shit but that's taking the piss surely!

Sorry, Bodin not Kennedy

Panathinaikos 0:1 West Ham  L

This explain why we aren't playing them I suppose.

Ten men... We only need ten men...

Tee hee they have a player called Cuntz... Maturity? Pah.... :soapy tit wank:

Someone's been sent off for us...

Finished 3-2 to us. 

Who's been sent off then?

If a player has been sent off does that effect league games then if a friendly?

Good result even if it is a friendly.

If a player has been sent off then it depends on the refs report, if its for something violent then the red card will stand and he will be banned for the first game of the season.

Doesn't say anything on the Adver about anyone being sent off.

O/S doesn't say anything about a red card just said we went from a goal down to come back and win through Prutton and 2 goals from Charlie.

It does say full report to follow though

Nope no reports anywhere saying a sending off, but there are no full reports as yet, where did this rumour come from?

I got it from SCM's post above mine

And he might well have mistakenly assumed from reeves4england's post (in response to Gelbfüßler's post, that we only had 10 men) when they were discussing how 2 players were subbed off for JP.

Possibly, although he seemed to say it as though it was new information from an external source rather than as a response to something on here. Therefore I absolve myself from blame :D

http://www.flashscore.com/soccer/friendly-games/

Was going by that. Apologies!

Strange to show a red card on that site with no name or time, whereas other matches have those details. Hopefully it's a cock up ... we'll know soon enough I guess.

Surely most refs ask for a substitution rather than send soneone off.

Although it has 86 minutes as a time now ...

Nothing about a red card in the match report on the OS

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~2100626,00.html

What have they made of the result?

There are highlights of the Al-Sadd friendly match on their official website.... you might want to turn the sound down though:

http://www.al-saddclub.tv/mediadetails.php?key=0dc5fb33c5a97579477c&title=%D9%85%D8%B9%D8%B3%D9%83%D8%B1+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%A7+++%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%85+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%B4%D8%B1

Samendown Town?

According to the Karlsruhe official site, Austin was sent off for elbowing Cuntz (second yellow)

http://www.ksc.de/aktuelles/anzeigen/news/23-niederlage-gegen-swindon-town.html

They enjoyed their goal then......

They beamed it live to Quatar....generous penalty award.

If it's an elbow then I would imagine Charlie will be banned 1st match of the season then

seems strange there's nothing reported on our site

A mixed bag of embarrassment, "doom and gloom" and "friendlies don't matter". They seem most pissed off about the fact that they still haven't got a main sponsor.

You better not tell them that we've got three....

Maybe thats because Cuntz was involved !!

I did notice that in the Adver they didn't even list down the teams, like they normally do.

Maybe its not gone through as an official sending off. Hopefully

Hoping no-one from the FA/FL will notice if they don't mention it?

Defensively very poor goal to let in against Al-Sadd, intersting as well that JPM appears to be playing wide left.

I tried running that paragraph through a translator and they could be saying Charlie SHOULD have gone for an elbow as he already had a yellow.

Cheating Cuntz (sorry, but somebody had to do it)

"Nochmals für Gesprächsstoff sorgte Doppeltorschütze Charlie Austin, der, schon mit gelb vorbelastet, Matthias Cuntz den Ellenbogen ins Gesicht stieß (81.) und folgerichtig mit gelb-rot vom Platz musste."

....is a bit of a bastard of a sentence, but I would translate it as follows:

"Again, double-goalscorer Charlie Austin provided a topic of conversation, when already booked, he hit Matthias Cuntz in the face with his elbow (81 min.) and consequently had to leave the field after a second yellow card."

You just bought yourself a subsrciption to hotmale.com and justusboys.co.uk you cunt.

:D Oops, deleted his post right as you replied! Guy Lewis is doing a excellent job of building rapport.

Thought for a second he was talking to me. I was going to say 'Gutted, already subscribe to those'.

Who's the cunt?

 'musste' here surely means 'should have' not 'had to' Crystall 'I didn't get where I am today without still being able to speak German' Tips

Well I wanted to explain my random reply to a four month old thread.

It goes like this:
I'm on a particular thread and want to reply.  then I realise I'm not logged in, so I log in and get thrown then to a seemingly random other thread.
Then, not paying attention, I reply to anything that's in front of me.

Does everybody have this problem or is it just me - the random thread on log-in thing, not the not paying attention thing?

No...though you made it Crystall clear that you do :D
