...although I dont think anyone is actually going to be here are they? Large majority of us are off to MK.

 :beers:

I am working as I do all Saturdays at the moment (for the money!) so even though it's near I won't be. :cry:

It's only 20 minutes up the road as well, never mind I have a good feeling about today. This is where the season starts to turn round.

I'll be here. :)

Well i seriously dont think we will lose.... there is too much at stake in this game to lose.... draw or a win..... on the predictions iv gone for a draw cos it is away and we will have no support.... if it was home we would win..... but i wont find out till bout mid-night cos im workin behind the bar tonight from 3 :(

Ill be about. Decided not to take the risk and break down. :o
Come On Swindon!!!! :P

There's a fair few on here going so id argue that.

Here's the team news.

http://mfile.akamai.com/6095/live/reflector:21694.asx?bkup=23441

Hopefully this should work if anyone wants to listen to the match.

I am here! Not going to listen as I have yet to hear us win!

I've heard one win, the Yeovil match. The Forest match I was on holiday.

It has to change so I'm going to listen.

Me here too, rinsin 'em out from the Genevois junglist massive !

Afternoon,

I consider this a very important game... It's not going to be easy.

I have just put a wee bit of money on Fallon to score first and Town to win 2-1 and Jenks to score first and 2-1, but Jenks is not playing! Sacks!

What a young team, the avarage age of the midfield is 20, the defence with goalie can't be much higher, and Tony Thorpe is the oldest player by years.

Which is why the youth team coach is a good choice as manager !!

Not if we get relegated! :(

that was kind of supposed to be a joke... but I reckon Iffy will do us proud.

anyway, here is a proper joke,  old ones are the best

The seven dwarfs go to the Vatican and, because they have requested an
audience & they are THE seven dwarfs, they are ushered in to see the
Pope.

Dopey leads the pack.

"Dopey, my son" says the Pope, "what can I do for you?"

Dopey asks, "Excuse me your Excellency, but are there any dwarf nuns in
Rome?"

The Pope wrinkles his brow at the odd question, thinks for a moment &
answers, "No, Dopey there are no dwarf nuns in Rome."

In the background a few of the dwarfs start giggling. Dopey turns round
& gives them a glare, silencing them.

Dopey turns back, "Your Worship, are there any dwarf nuns in all of
Europe?"

The Pope, puzzled now, again thinks for a moment & then answers "Dopey,
there are no dwarf nuns in Europe"

This time all of the other dwarfs burst into laughter. Dopey turns
around and silences them with an angry glare.

Dopey turns back to The Pope & says "Your extreme Holiness! Are there
ANY dwarf nuns any where in the world?"

After consulting with his advisors, the Pope responds, "I'm sorry my
son, there are NO dwarf nuns anywhere in the world."

The other dwarfs collapse in a heap, rolling around, laughing and
pounding on the floor, tears streaming down their cheeks as they began
chanting:

"Dopey screwed a penguin!"

"Dopey screwed a penguin!"

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I'm here now. Hope I didn't put you off Blink, certainly not my intention  :(

Waiting for 1000 local for the Bon Jovi tickets to go on sale in the USA  :mrgreen:

I like the look of Nicho LB and Smith RB, more balanced. Hopefully Roberts will take his chance up front.

Come on town!

I'm glad to see Nicho in the team as well.

Just coming onto the pitch.

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!

come on lads, lets help franchise FC down to the conference, where they belong !  (and hope its not the other way around...)

I'd agree, its Collins at CB that worries me though I just don't rate him at all.

roberts isn't even on the bench ? injured ?

Same as, Collins is shit!. :evil:

Seems it is only my old man that rates him though! Good bit of composure from him for our goal against Southend I must say!

what's the lineup? only just turned the radio on...

Fucking hell!, luckily Mcleod hit his shot straight at Heaton after being put through. :|

Christ that was close, what a crap start that would have been.

Jesus!  :evil:  I am off to watch Gillette Soccer Saturday! Back if someone scores!

Ive got that on mute with the Swindon game on the radio.

Fulham 1 Man U 0  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Good shot by Heath tipped over for a corner!, Fallon has scored  :beers:

Goaaaaaallllll!!!!!!!!!!!

RORY FALLON!!!!

Glory glory rory fallon !!

RORY RORY FALLON.

hurrah for Rory Fallon  :D

chants of "we're not bottom anymore" from the townenders !

Have we got any fans there? I didn't hear any noise at all on the radio when we scored.

no he's just crap

That's my 0-0 prediction buggered then. :(

About 500 they reckon, I heard them.

I heard them when we scored.

I've got BBC Live scores page to get all the latest goals, ours still isn't on there!

Tony Thorpe, I thought you were going to score there.

Get in there Rory!

Yes! Get in! My bet is on! Come on 2-1 win! :mrgreen:

Good chance for Thorpe, somthings got to come right for him soon.

town fans sound in good voice now

It took a good 2 minutes to appear on Gillette Soccer Saturday.

Yeah they sounded like St Winifred's school choir...

i am well nervous now we're one nil up!!! i was okay before.

chill...we'll be okay 8)

Fallon, we love you
Fallon, we do
Though you may be far away
We think of you

That's the one  :D

I predicted a 1-0 win, so v v happy if the score stays the same. Hope for a more comprehensive win though.

Is it just me or do we sound like we're playing quite well?

well, it at least seems clear that we have been practicing corners and things - and so far its worked !

"A few people round here could do with visiting the opticians sometime soon" - Ed Hadwin  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Thighs do look incredibly like hands  :?

Really??? I'll just check. Wait a minute, I think you're talking bollocks Bo  :mrgreen:

C'mon you reds  :P

Half time, 1-0, good job so far. Back in 15 peeps !

1-0 up at half time, that'll do. I'm off for a nice cup of tea!

We're winning  :P  :P  :P

 :beers:

Greggs time! Well done lads! :nod:

I'm still overly cautious about this.

Just hope we can hold on... Or ideally score again!

COME ON YOU REDS!

Stella  :beers: I up landlord (fridge) - come on boys, more of that again please.

fuck

Bollox, 1-1

ARSE

Bunch of arse!

stupid milton keynes  :x

On a different note, the commentary has been better than normal today - no cuttting out like normal.

yes, it also started before the match kicked off too

It is really pathetic that we can't even beat Franchise.  We are going down.

Don't be such a drama queen!

that's it - you stay positive  :roll:

come on ref!!

Its still early days, but we need to break this losing streak. Don't be so pessimistic - thats DV85's job

I have started to listen, hope we don't lose now!

Welcome back Edinburgh

come on the 'pool!

Shitheads 1 down 8)

Corner! We sound pretty good! :mrgreen:

DOH!

Our goal was a defensive error? What a fucking surprise!  :-))(

 :beers:

Nicolau on for Shakes who is injured :x

time for the cypriot to shine....

Shakes injury is the last thing we need really. Lets give Nicolau a chance though.

phew!

Free kick, 25 yards out. Come on Town!

Free kick, lets see if this extra training pays dividends

Fuck off Heath.

Or not  :(

Cureton on for Thorpe.

:roll:

Oh FFS!

i fear we are going down! we are in free fall

For fucks sake, its the 1st of October. Yea we're struggling  :shock: but theres a long way to go yet.

If we could have held on for a point, we could have turned the corner. Now, I am not sure where the end of the corner is!  :cry:

At least we scored away from home.

C'mon keep the faith - we've got 12 minutes left  :P  :P  :P

Yay GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Swindon  :D

cmon 3 goals in 3 minutes c'mon you can do it

Much as I remain optimistic, it doesn't sound like its going to happen.

:cry:

3 more minutes of pain.

:(  :(  :(  :(  :(  :(  :(     :crying:  :crying:  :crying:  :crying:  :crying:  :crying:  :crying:  :crying:

SWINDON OUT!

7 defeats in a row. Not good.

Sounded like the effort was there but the quality was not. Confidence is obviously low. We desperately need a lucky 1-0 win VERY soon, preferably sooner rather than later.

Solace will need to be sought in beer i think.

I can't help feeling that was the most disappointing result out of the last seven, simply for the reason that MK Dongers are crap. Confidence must be at an all time low. I just hope Iffy can do something to lift them next week. We must stop the rot.

We are so shit!!!! Yeah i guess our excuse could be that we didnt have our full team out there, but come on, 7 loses in a row!!!! now that is just not acceptable.
I shall still support the lads next saturday, but i cant see us gettin anythin outta the game......

Phil, there are no excuses you can offer. We are just shit, no quality and no confidence right now. It can, and must, improve SOON.

The case with almost every game so far this season.  Its a shame

Apparently there were UFOs over the hockey pitch or (whatever its called) for the last 5 minutes :?

If this was championship manager, I would have turned the computer off by now and tried to start again...

we're only 5 points adrift.... :?

Just got in, when I left work we were 1-0 up.

Things are not looking good. :cry:

no its not looking good at all. its not Iffy's fault but we need somebody else to manage the team and fast. 5 points adrift now and its looking like we might be in the bottom four for the rest of the campaign. lets hope that isnt the case.

The board have to decide now to either stick with Iffy for the season and tell him that, or appoint someone else quickly.

If there's uncertanty then that's bound to get to the players/manager etc.

exactly bedford! i think the board want to give Iffy a fair chance and there is nothing wrong with that. but it seems as if the job is going to be a difficult one for any manager and i dont think Iffy is up to the job (it being his first in management) i still dont know if we can bring in a new manager yet. is King's settlement even sorted?

I don't think it is which doesn't help the matter.

I can't see many decent managers fancying the job as if we go down it puts a black mark on their records.

So we have to stick with Iffy, or maybe try a young manager with little experience who's up for it. And Iffy falls into that character.

Oh for a Macari, Hoddle player-manager type.

Sorry, tried to edit it and put it on again. :oops:

id like to see a Hoddle player manager type. thats why i think Dennis Wise would be a good choice but i cant see it happening. id like to see Calderwood or Ling come in as well but as you say Bedford they wont want to be known for sending us down when they can go up with their respective teams in league 2 this year.

Lingy especially.

I'd love to see a ex-hero come back but as we all saw with Tinnion at City that backfired badly and he'll be remembered more for that now than his 10 yrs on the pitch.

I wouldn't mind Dennis Wise but he like everyone else is going to look at the table for starters, know about our money position and I can't see him being at all interested.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Shaun Taylor/Steve White etc have applied and whilst it would give the club a boost etc I would hate to see it go wrong for them.

 UFO's UFO's UFO's!!

 It's true the aliens are here 8)
