It's been fun  ;D

Thanks in advance for the points next season.  :bye:

We are a bit of a bogey team for them. 4 wins from 6 games and of those they have only beaten us once.

Oh, forgot to mention.....Goodnight Eileen.  ;)

Sorry to piss on your bonfire, but its Irene.....

Oh dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahahaha. 4D you spastic.

I think 4D knows exactly what he or she did there.

Shame on you all for your lack of faith.

Thanks Michael; at least someones awake  :D

Maybe they didn't read the Adver from the away fixture?

Where do you get 6 games from?

the games shop.

Monopoly, Scrabble, Cluedo, Risk, Hero Quest and Connect 4.

I know!  :doh:

Hero Quest interests me actually. I've never played it but I was reading about it on wikipedia a while ago.

It might be less than exciting to play tho I don't know. Actually think I might have played once when I was little and possibly too young to even understand the rules.

I thought it was the best thing ever when I was little. I don't think I've got it anymore.

Seriously tho what's the 6 games figure? Swindon and Rovers have played each other loads more times than that.

I guess it's just the last 6.

Off the top of my head, the only time they've beaten us in the last 6 was 1-0 away at the end of the promotion season?

Before that we went 4 or 5 seasons without playing them I think.

I just registered to a rovers forum solely to rip it out of them but it says I don't have permission to start or reply to any threads. Think maybe a mod needs to review my registration first?!? Its weird.

The last 6 times we played. Before that we didn't play them for 5 years.

no space crusade? how disappointing

Congrats on the win guys. It's true, Swindon are a bit of a bogey side for us. Even when we play well - which wasn't yesterday by the way - we rarely get a result.

The game couldn't have started much worse for us; Phillips and Anthony almost knock each other out and leave Cox with an open goal. We had no other centre backs available so when Anthony was stretchered off it meant Lescott - who is barely 5 foot tall - had to move into that position; that also left us with 2 wingers playing in the full back positions.

We could have gone 2 down soon after but eventually settled into the game and equalised with an equally freaky goal. We had 4 or 5 good chances after that, Lambert missed 2 free headers, Duffy and Kuffour failed to convert chances inside the 6 yard box and your keeper made a great save from a Lines shot. We probably deserved a lead at half time and with the wind blowing towards the away end I thought we might need one and that proved to be the case.

We never really got going second half and despite Phillips not having too much to do I always felt you might sneak one. I think 3 of our defenders got a touch on the cross which led to the goal, each taking it away from the other but when it got to Cox he finished it very well.

I thought that was game over because we didn't look up for it in the second half but we could and probably should have snatched an equalizer at the end when Lambert chested down a long ball forward but put his shot wide when it looked easier to score.

My prediction was 3-3 and on another day I think that could have easily been the score.

Looks like Carlisle will probably go down with Crewe after blowing a 1 goal lead and having 2 players sent off at Cheltenham but I doubt you’re bothered now you know you’re safe.

See you again next season.

Indeed. Can you try and make your away 'stand' a little bit more solid next year? Spent the whole game thinking it was about to collapse.

genestealers were too fucking gay.

 Getting rid of some norvern teams is always good...shame that Cheltnumb and Hereford have gone really.  I'm just hoping Barnsley stay up....Norwich would be an interesting addition at this level.

 When was the last time Rovers played them in a league game?

No idea when we last played Norwich in the league. We lost 1-0 up there a few seasons back in the cup though and it was a great away day - despite the result - so I'm hoping they come down; Charlton and Southampton should be pretty good as well.

I've just had a look, 3 seasons since the the formation of Div 3 in 58, the last being 74/75, the other two being very early 60's.

Of course, Norwich were long time regulars of Div 3 (South)...when we used to give them some right pastings.

Looking at Rovers team, theyve had the same players for quite a few years now.

I think there is a danger of them going a bit stale? Like we have done this season with Sturrock's old faces.

you're an idiot

league one next season is starting to look like a retro premier league
Southampton
Norwich/Barnsley/Forest
Charlton
maybe Leeds
Oldham
Swindon :)

can we petition the FA to get QPR and coventry relegated so we can get some points?

I'm glad you didn't say MK Dongs.

They've never been top flight, why would he say them?

Exactly what I was getting at.

Some people still class Dongs as the team that used to play in London who won the FA Cup.

Ummmmm.....go on give us a clue?

Lionel Blair,

Much better....he always did that gesture when someone guessed the right answer. Do you think it means "You Knows"?

I was forced to concede that Franchise were a former Premiership side in a pub quiz recently. I made sure I put "Wimbledon/" before it though.

You shouldn't have backed down.

Skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin.

The team that was Wimbledon still is. They have just got promoted to the Conference have they not?

The actual question was to name the five former Premiership teams in league one.

i would have said there are only 4 and starting a mass pub quiz argument. Which I would have won.
