What an embarrassment and humiliation for Paolo. Anyone would know that taunting a bloke like that is only going to inspire him to try harder and do better. So then he goes and scores after 10 minutes.

Sometimes Paolo its better to keep your trap shut. Alex Ferguson you are not. :headhurts:

Yep. Complete backfire on PDC. Hope it's only the one today.

yeah

Let's just hope that PDC can inspire Town at half time the same way he seems to have inspired the fake scummer.

That said it would help if the scummers defence could start defending crosses like Devera.

Unfortunately, I think the board made a massive error appointing Di Cannio as manager.Said so at the time, and got quite a bit of stick for it.Too much of a loose cannon for managerial consideration, has no managerial experience.The start we have made to the season confirms my initial reservations.He hasn't got a clue :badmood:.

 :smack:

Good first post, nearly earnt the C word from the off!

If he hadn't said anything and Cunt-Stubble grabbed a brace we'd be saying the reverse.  Nothing to do with inexperience or being a bad manager - it's just that the player has shown he's above mind games.

It's not like Football Manager where if he hadn't said anything the player wouldn't have scored...  If we lose the game it won't be because of what was said pre-match, apart from perhaps in the dressing room.

He did fuck all the whole game..except from the fucking all important obvious, and they were two set pieces.

Didn't he screw up a 1 on 1 chance towards the end as well?

What? how has he not got a clue? what a load of shite.

So a bit like our strikers - only he scores.  I know which I'd like...

where as Clarke worked his nuts off and fucked up the chance to amke it 2-2

Hello Ben. I saw Mex Red today

Combine the two qualities and you have a striker worth having - and by definition would rarely be found in league 2. 

I like Di Canio's live in the moment mentality.

He's not like some of the wet coward fans we have in this country who are too scared to be brash and have a bit of banter incase it backfires.

Fair comment. My point was he didn't seem any more 'up for it' because of Di Canio's comments. He'd still have scored those two id Di Canio was a mute.

At the match?  Is he not boycotting anymore?

It was after the game on one of the side roads between Town and the CG. It was deffo him and he even had time to pull a funny face at us. I guess he couldn't stay away.

Sell out!

We're 4 games in & some are calling for Di Canio's head. For me he has made few mistakes. Sure we are not hwere we want to be, but nor was Lou, at this stage of that record breaking season.
FFS, wait until the table actually starts to mean something

I think I am going to scream at the next person who makes comparisons with 85/6.

It's not like Macari had just arrived and thrown together a completely new squad after relegation.

I know people are using it to point out you can have a slow start and go up, but it irks me because I am grumpy, old and disenchanted - and that was before Sunday.

You're quite right to be irked by that fatuous comparison....a much better one is 84/85 when Macari came in as rookie boss. Opening day win followed by just 2 more in the next 11.  This included some horrendous displays at the CG going down to the likes of Hereford 0-3 and Torquay 1-3.

I'd been bigging Macari up to people and managed to drag a few new to Swindon types along to savour the atmosphere, needless to say they weren't convinced and soon gave up.

The season spluttered along, including an FA Cup demise at the CG to non league Dagenham (not the same as D and R).  Things were brought to a head on a wet midweek in Scunthorpe when we went down 6-2....unusually all six scored by a different player....Macari was sacked.  The rest is history. 

One thing though happened...and I'd like to see di Canio aim for this.....the home form after those initial defeats started to turn around, so that despite being shit on the road, fans could see some sort of progress and backed Macari when he was sacked.

di Canio needs to steady the ship.....shame the next home game is on Sky...just adds to the hype and loss of focus.

Am I the only person who would like to see Gabilondo and Ritchie playing on their natural wings so they can beat full back on the outside rather than having to always cut inside?

Not at all.

Left sided players play on the left. Right sided players play on the right. It's not hard.

He is learning the job as he goes along. He talks so much sense I feel that he will turn it around and put things right.
