fuck the FA

When Crawley go into administration, that's £1,000 they won't be getting from us.

I am embarrassed by the FA.

Have we skipped a month and a half?

This whole F.A. vendetta is getting a bit stupid now! Let's see if C*nt Evans & the Cheltenham manager get fined and a touchline ban for their actions last week? I bet they get away with it?!

But we'll still win the league

I have a plan.

(a) We should fine the FA back, for being dicks.
(b) We should fine Crawley for 'failing to control our players', particularly Messrs Rooney, Bodin & Benson.

Both of which would be equally justifiable and make about as much sense as the original fine.  Infact, let's set both fines at £1,000...& we'd be in profit.  It has to be worth a try.

A joke decision considering the way Evans was all game. Melts the lot of them.

I cant even get angry about this anymore.  The FA continues to make themselves a laughing stock with ridiculous, unfair and frankly baffling decisions.

There is no consistency.  

Our manager is sent of for waving his hands, every other manager (including Evans) get away with screaming in the face of officials going out of the technical area and trying to influence the officials at every step.

Our players surround the referee over a bad decision but week in week out this is ignored for every other team.  Did Crawley control their players?  It takes to to tango.

It makes me want to weep and is killing my love of the game.  If this continues the football world will be peopled by fans who's only experience of football is through the filter of television and pundits who tell them what to think.  Anyone with a genuine passion for the game, including our manager, will desert it.

Im almost to bored by it to want to fight it.  Let the FA have their game.  The soul-less, corporate, hideous game their mismanagement is creating.

Excellent post.

Everyone that goes to Edgar Street on Saturday chucks a £1 coin into a bucket.  Job done.  Fuck off Evans.  Fuck off Crawley.  Fuck off The FA.

We should have a 1p collection and hand over 100000 of them at the FA office at Wembley.

baffling.

£1,000 v 6-0 aggregate score. Good deal imo  :clap:

Edit : and six points of course

No fine in this case. It wouldn't annoy me if they were consistant in their decisions but their just not.

This really does baffle me and kind of angers me in way!

They surrounded the referee because they thought the punishment should of been a sending off, being last man and all. We see it week in, week out where player surround the ref and nothing gets done about.

The FA are fucking ridiculous. This is just another petty excuse to fine STFC for something that is irrelavent.

Evans was constantly waving his arms about, shouting, moaning but nothing ever gets done about that! They constantly had 2/3 coaches stood up in the technical area.

I'm so glad Caddis and Rooney were giving that fat cunt some stick!!!
 
Just a shame we couldn't have Di Canio rip that shit out of him on the sideline!!!

i know it's sour grapes n all, but pablo mills came into the melee and started pushing people etc. isn't pushing people punishable these days?

Crawley site down, How STRANGE!!!!!

I expect this is as a result of the referee's match report. Although I do agree we shouldn't be surroundng the ref like that he could have booked someone at the time. Instead he decided to bottle practically every decision and the game was threatening to get out of control.

I always said that a ref should do more if he gets players arguing with him.

THE REF. WHEN IT HAPPENS. DURING THE GAME.

And what does taking £1,000 off us do? What do they think they'll achieve? All the players that were the 'culprits' will still take the field on Saturday.. Fucking stupid.

No one likes us, no one likes us, we don't care, we are Swindon, super swindon

I love this man more and more every time he speaks.

The bit at the end is brilliant 'They will have to do more than this because 3-0'  :D

Evans should have been banned for life for what he did at Boston.

Well, I really hope they also go up this season - finishing behind us - would really look forward to the reception Jabba will get next season.

Good to be finally back from my 'fine'.

No one told me I had to log out and log in again for me to be able to start posting again!

I feel rather victimised. I hadn't really done anything wrong apart from being a bit stupid and joking that I'd start a matchday thread. Never again.  :(

I like the way he says 'coincidence'  :toocool:

They just showed the interview on SSN along with the incident. FWIW whilst our players did surround the referee, the Crawley players were pushing and shoving just as much as us in the incident so for us to be fined and not them does seem to be a little strange.

At the end he said 'we have crushed them 6-0 this season!'

I heard the commentator say one of their players put their hand on one of our players throat? Why isn't that red?

The Crawley number 4 had his hands round Caddis' throt at one stage. When the linesman went onto the field to chat with the ref I assumed that a punishment would follow, but they bottled that one as well.

And was the Rooney/Caddis incident(s) with Evans started by us, or by Evans?

Yes, that was clear to see on the footage as well.

Absolute disbelief at this fine but think whilst paolo is in charge we'll have to get used to this fa bullshit they've got it in for him & they've got it in for us - anyway we'll win the league & jpt so fuck em all - WE R Paolo'S RED & WHITE ARMY !!............  >:(

Funny that it was the same ref who sent Di Canio off for leaving his technical area against Oxford, whereas Evans left his technical area on many occasions and entered ours too, and yet no punishment ensued!

100% agree with everything you say.
Just brings a smile to my face everytime I listen to him.

Excellent! Another incentive to get the players motivated. To me, this plays right into Paolo's hands. He wont need to motivate the players for Saturday's game because the FA have already done that for him. A man like Paolo will turn this around to his advantage. The more the FA take the piss out of us the more we take the piss out of this league.

The best £1000 of motivation the club will ever buy.

The game on Tuesday night showed everybody (Including you Evans, you fat prick) that we have a fucking great bunch of players who are willing to run through walls not just for PDC, but for each other as well.
We have not had a team spirit like this since the day's of the Lou Macari or Ossie Ardiles promotion winning sides, so as far as I am concerned, if we can play like that every week and dick so called promotion rivals as easily as we did on Tuesday night (and go toe to toe with the cheating cunts as well) then the FA can fine us a grand every fucking week. If it means we go up as champions, then fuck them all, it would be money well spent.

According to one report, it appears fat cunt Evans spent 20 minutes in the refs dressing room after the game. Is that how long it took the ref to come up Evan's ass.
On a more serious note, that sounds highly suspicious. :hmmm:

As Paolo says, the ref did nothing at the time of the incident, then 20 minutes with Evans and he's (apparently) promised to report us, which according to Di Canio the ref should have kept confidential.

Not suggesting there's anything fishy going on, just that Evans has had his way.

Just coincidence

THIS!!! C.O.Y.R!!!

I'm sure over 30,000 Swindon fans will tell them what they think of them when they turn up at the FA HQ on March 25th !!

I didnt know that. That ref is a total prick. Deffo a closest Pox fan.

Despite being victimised, I quite like it? Is it just me?

I just love the way PdC responds. He's a genius.

According to Wise on BBC, Paolo said the Evans told his player(s) to "break Rooney's legs". Explains the celebrations.

Also the club are considering appeal of the 1K out of principle/

I wasn't at the game and it isn't clear on the highlights what happened after the (shocking) decision by the referee so won't comment.

However this comment on the Adver site is great:

"i do actually have a friend who works at a solicitors and i will be having a word to see if there is a harassment case the FA will need to answer!"


On a related note, I really hate seeing players surrounding officials during games and chasing them across the pitch. The video on page one shows both of Man Utd's central defenders run the length of the pitch to scream at the referee/linesman. It's one of the things I hate most about football.

What?! This fine and your comments, if true, make me fucking rage. I hope that cunt Evans gets what's coming his way. (And the FA get fucked some how.)

Edit: after 10 seconds I thought it's a good thing. Bring it on you corrupt cunts. Siege mentality? You ain't seen nothing yet. If you want to make Paolo and his warriors more angry then I applaud you. Success.

Well put sir.

We seem to be in the FA's crosshairs for whatever reason at the moment, and that's their problem. Let's use it to our advantage.

I think we should write back to the FA and tell them to take the £1,000 out of the prize money that they will soon owe us. Tell them to take an extra £5 for some boardroom biscuits too.

Rooney interview on the OS...

"I won't repeat exactly what he said to me, but as the ball came over to me for the third goal I think I played in Macca, and we scored within three seconds of that. As the ball came to me he said something pretty horrible in my ear, and he instructed one of their players to do something to me which I won't repeat because it's not worth repeating and he's definitely not worth talking about. So instead of celebrating with 'Benno' I thought I could see 'Benno' later - I thought I'd just come over and ask him to say it again but he didn't seem to want to say it to my face... We let our football do the talking - the football was fantastic and I enjoyed it probably more so when I came off and was watching it!"

Of course, if questioned, Evans will deny that he said "break his legs" and will affirm that he actually said "break his pegs" in reference to his Gillingham connections.

The FA are cunts and thats the end of it really, hope we make our feeling known to them when we are Wembley!

Wonder if any of them will want to be near the touchline by Paolo?

What a disgusting man Evans is. Doesn't even have the courage to say it to his face.

What a cunt. Bit of luck he'll have a heart attack

Last august Micky Adams (Port Vale manager) and Steve Evans had a 'disagreement' on the
touchline at Vale Park.

Adams had some choice words for his counterpart after clashing throughout the game.

"I'm really honoured that I'm in the other dugout with such a great manager/person, that's done it all in the game. I just can't believe my luck at times, to be in the opposition dugout with such a great bloke".

i'm sure that Mark Yates at Cheltenham would agree with you Micky.

The West Ham and Southampton players had a 'confrontation' after a penalty was awarded  last
tuesday.Matt Taylor was redcarded,but no action against either clubs.Nice consistency FA.

From facebook

We are Swindon, no one likes us, we don't care.

Please don't.

Millwall are the only club who should sing that, teams that copy songs that are so identified with one club make themselves look tin pot and cringeworthy, as anyone who's heard Barnet's and franchise's versions will testify to.  

Who does he think he is?

Fat cunt Evans says they are 'the best side in League 2'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17078555

More like the dirtiest side in L2.

Best team in league two  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :clap:

I think I'll quote Paolo on this.
