Title: Another view of last Saturday Post by: Nick Bamosomi on Tuesday, March 6, 2012, 11:35:03 Apologies if this has been posted before - I haven't seen it, but haven't read all of the matchday thread.

Title: Re: Another view of last Saturday Post by: sheepshagger on Tuesday, March 6, 2012, 12:03:11 That was a top read - and pretty damn accurate (unfortunately in places !!)
Title: Re: Another view of last Saturday Post by: PocketScience on Tuesday, March 6, 2012, 12:16:23 Pretty accurate to be fair. Although this bit isn't how I remember it:
"Paolo Di Canio lifted the spirits of the travelling fans at the end, but was soon drowned out by a sea of yellow kindly asking him to vacate the premises." There was a massive roar from Oxford at the final whistle and obviously singing but once Paolo came over and all our fans starting clapping and singing, I didn't hear Oxford again besides the pricks that stayed behind for ages up near the segregation. Hardly drowned out; but admittedly our noise is probably louder when you are in the middle of it. He is right, it does hurt though. I thought I wasn't that bothered as long we get promoted but I am still feeling deflated today, hopefully a decent win tonight will renew the enthusiasm. When we go up at the end of the season this feeling will be a distant memory Title: Re: Another view of last Saturday Post by: Spud on Tuesday, March 6, 2012, 14:48:51 Pretty accurate to be fair.

Deluded if they thought that the 'Sea of Yellow' drowned us out at the end.

I suppose it was Radio Wiltshire, so they may have put the microphone near the Swindon end maybe ?

Nope I was listening on 5 live and that was the Radio Poxford commentary team and all i could hear was Swindon singong, fuck all from the inbreds at all. |
