I'm going for a 2-1 victory.

Goals from Frampton (header) and Austin (Volley)

more gloom, 3-1 to charlton

2-1 Charlton. Confidence  is low and we look to have no bollocks for a fight.

I predict a 35 page match day thread. And they only ever come from bad results.

I'm up in London already.  Sadly, at work.  Plan to have this thread in the background all day.

A bafflingly breathtaking display from the Town whcih flies in the face of logic in light of recent abysmal performances.

3-0 Austin, Pericard 2 (TWO)

Are we wearing the black kit today or white ?

We will get battered 4 nil!

Charlton's new era starts today with this being the first game at The Valley under their new owners. It'll be nice to spoil the party.

I'm going in with the usual quantity of hope but without expectation!

3/4-0 to charlton.

Leaving at 12 if anybody needs a lift.

Frampton will be up for this one.

Score draw.

5-0 loss

Considering the way we were munched by Charlton just a few weeks ago and the lack of any improvement since I can't see any outcome other than another gloomy result.  A 2-1 defeat is about best case I can realistically see.

Dicked.

We've not done bad on tv recently, I can see a 1-1 draw.

Were a bit shit, they're playing well, its there first game at home under new owners, its on tele, what could possibly go wrong?

It's Swindon. We always go against the grain. We will win !

The usual dross, get dicked, shit performance and baffling subs by Wilson.

I thought that when Charlton came to the CG a couple of months back  ;)

Cautiously optimistic about tonight actually. Fancy a 2-1 win with Dossevi coming off the bench to bag the winner.

what time is the game on.?

5.05 pm kick off

Get this to the dressing room, and read the last line!

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be my team - my Swindon!
 

Really? I thought it was 7.45... oops!

 Strange results do happen in a season....and for us to win at Charlton would be strange, given that we couldn't manage it last season twice, when we were fairly useful away from home, and on one occasion they only had 9 men.

Think Charlton have had their Valley freak, when they lost to Walsall about 3 weeks ago.

 A draw would be a significant achievement

that fucks my plan of watching it up them. got a full day of cricket to watch tomorrow.

2-0 defeat.

this.
but do i alter my prediction to try to put distance between you and i in the table.mmmmmmm?

I've predicted 1-0, so it won't be that. My prediction form this season has been awful (probably because I've predicted us about two defeats all year) considering I won it two or three seasons back.

Charlton 10/11 on Ladbrokes... massive price for such a game, as for predicitions, let's just say I'll be having a piece of that!

what's the name of the site that does the different bookies odds comparisons?

http://www.oddschecker.com/

On which site I find this truly fucking fantastic market:

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/first-player-arrested-in-2011

They can't offer odds on that!

oddschecker.com is decent

After reading the Bournemouth match day thread I deliberately came into work a bit later today so that I'll miss most of the match!

Great odds and as my luck has been fucking awful i am getting on that in the hope it doesn't happen

Evens with bet365 is the top price

that's the one.thanks.

even money on betfair.lumped on 2-0 too

Defeat snm.

Huddersfield vs Wendies just about to start on SS1. An afternoon of football for me.

My head says we're going to get dicked. My heart says we're going to get dicked.

My Balls reckon we might sneak a surprise.

We will put on an embarrassing performance on TV and lose 3-0 at  least.
Wilson will still say he doesn't know why we didn't do very well, and will vow to stay and "fight"

Need a win.
Would be happy with a point.
Gonna get hammered :(

What would be a surprise to your balls fB?

Swindon to win this by the odd goal......Mr Austin to grab the winner.

We will win this.

Ah, but who said I predicted the same in the prediction league? ;)

not getting dicked

you just change yours after the result anyway.... ;)

If you want Reg to say

That'd be a first... Text Famguy1

etc

This really is the kind of game that could go either way. Form would suggest we'll struggle to do any better than a 2 goal defeat, but they have a couple of important players out and we have a point to prove - if the players have anything about them they'll be desperate to put a shift in today.

:clap:

It really isn't  :no:

It's not likely to go our way I'll admit - I'm expecting us to lose. But it's the kind of fixture that can throw up a surprise.

We are on the Telly playing shite we will lose

Ah that feeling of dread and despair.

I've missed you old friend.

We will get hammered. We're shite away from home.

Would love to see us pull off a surprise win, but sadly can't see it.  3-1 to Charlton.  Could also be the last time we get to see Charlie play in a Town shirt if someone comes in with a decent bid this week.  

I think back to Jan 98, when we played at Gresty Road on the box....we were truly terrible, not sure we had a shot on target all game...McMahon persisted with 5 at the back.

We were about 8 games into a run which saw one win, albeit 4-1 v Scum...and maybe a couple of draws....fortunately we'd had a good start, and a scratchy win v Stoke with a Mark Robinson goal just about kept us up.

We've never really recovered form that level of shitness, dread and despair, just the occasional blip, and it's back in full swing now.

When....not if. ;)

Pericard hattrick

Well if you could, it wouldn't be a surprise would it? :hmmm:

I see your point  :)

I don't think any of us could see it when we went to The Valley in March 2000 either.  Charlton were top of the table and went on to win the title with 91 points, while we finished bottom that season with 36 points.  But happily, 3 of those 36 points were nicked that afternoon during a highly improbable win.  Good fun it was too.

In an effort to avoid a serious bout of depression, I'm going to stop reading this thread until kick off.

That season we'd just beaten Huddersfield mid week to prevent us going 20(?) games without a win. We were on a high.

I would be over the moon with a drab, non-entertaining, dull, scrappy 0-0 draw from the game this evening.

I know what will happen though, Town will get dicked and the thought of going back to work in the morning will leave me feeling even worse.

You reds!

Correct. That has to be the most ridiculously unlikely win ever. A win on that occasion looked far more unlikely than it does today. It should not have happened and 999 out of a thousand it would not...but it did. I'm not saying we're definitely going to win but I would never, ever give us no chance of winning, whoever we're playing.

In a 8-3 defeat?

it's a two horse race so there is always a chance.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us come away with a win - Charlton are a much weakened side from last season, their top scorer is out, and in their last home match they lost 1-0 to bottom of the league Walsall.

I'm going for 3-0 Charlton. I'm still in total pessimistic mode. My daughter is going 2-1 Town with Prutton scoring first so on to Ladbrokes i go. I've never bet on us to lose so I'll go with my daughters predictions.
14-1 for 2-1 and 25-1 Prutton. 200-1 for both.

3-0 to Charlton.

Merlin?

Precisely :nod:

I think one of the horses only has one legs and is dead

the magician....for us to have any chance to win?

Swindon Town: Phil Smith; Paul Caddis, Sean Morrison, Andy Frampton (c), Michael Rose; Matt Ritchie, Michael Timlin, David Prutton, Simon Ferry, Alan O'Brien; Charlie Austin

That team looks fucking woeful, goodbye Wilson!

Setting out the defensive stall and playing for a point. Meh. Could work.

Surely Cuthbert is injured?

We're fucked

I'm eagerly awaiting the announcement of the bench! McGovern missing too.

the tinker man strikes again.
desperate times and all that...

Fucking farcical. What is Wilson playing at?

Cuthbert? McGorvern? Sheehan? Dossevi?

I'll assume Sheehan is injured, what about the others?

two left wingers, no right winger

And Frampton captain, what a fucking joke. We're gonna get dicked!

Least Frampton is a talker at the back...

We are fucked with that team! Cuthbert and Prutton were the only ones to turn up on Saturday!

4-1 Charlton, late consolation for Charlie in the 93rd minute

He could be gone after the next game though as he's not even on a season long loan..... Wilson has blatantly lost the plot

Looks like an interesting team imo.  Hopefully have a lot of the ball in midfield and counter attack quickly with the pace on the wings

O'Brien ??????

What a surprising team. I don't agree with it at all.

But then again none of them except Charlie are really indespensible so it doesn't matter who we play...maybe it will be a kick up the backside for those that have been dropped. Or maybe it won't affect anything....which has been the pattern all season

the best bit of the tv today will be how Sky will put that out as a formation. I assume they'll at least get Austin as the lone striker?

 Phil Smith;
Paul Caddis, Sean Morrison, Andy Frampton (c), Michael Rose;
Simon Ferry, David Prutton, Michael Timlin, Matt Ritchie, Alan O'Brien;
Charlie Austin

Or maybe AOB as a 2nd striker, or Matt Ritchie 'playing in the hole'. Or can Ritchie use his Right foot, maybe he's the right winger, but i though he was left? Maybe ferry and tims int he middle with Prutton 'playing in the hole'

Just stick the flipping trialists out, this should be their match ffs.

Wilson's last game

Owngoals

That team is shit, fuck off

[url width=228 height=374]http://gal.darkervision.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/frazerdm1112_228x374.jpg[/url]

O'Brien wasn't even in the squad on Saturday and now he starts, I swear Wilson picks his team out of a hat

With some luck it will be his last match in a red shirt.

Cuthbert one of our best players this season.

O'Brien fucking dog shit

Wilson Out!!!  :badmood:

What the shitfuck kind of team is that?! Two left wingers? Timlin over JP?

Ha. Obrien must be starting to get him in the shop window.
 2 left wingers, 3 centre mids and one striker.

I bet even the fucking eskimos know that's not how you set the team up to play. Im sure Ritchie has playeed on the right for us before though? Maybe it's more a 4-3-3 / 4-5-1, thats worked before in the season...

Come on Torquay!

Why on earth, after being knocked out fo the cup by a non league team, drawing and then losing the last two homes matches, are we playing for a point.

A defeat tonight and he has to go. Shocking line up.

I don't agree with it either, but will be interested to see Wilsons reasoning should we get smashed. Wasn't Sheehan struggling to be fit for today though?

...Still waiting on that bench. Can we assume that whoever is missing is off?

Probably still picking the bench out of the hat

Looking at Charlton's recent form, I doubt they're too confident either. Only 1 win in 6 matches and that was against Luton. Even Walsall beat them at The Valley.

I'll go for a 1-1 draw. 

like I said on Saturday ............................... fucking clueless cunt

Be interesting to see if Ball is on the bench. When does his loan end ?

Subs: Scott, Cuthbert, Evans, McGovern, Dossevi, Ball, Pericard.

I'm surprised by the line-up... But I'll wait until later before unleashing any sort of venom.

Fuck me you lot are depressing....  We won there last season with 10 men (albeit on penalties and in the playoffs) so who's to say we won't go there with a full XI and smash them 3-0?

I'm going for a sneaky 2-1 win, Austin to grab both Town goals and boost his already soaring reputation.

Wilson doesn't seem to be able to win with some of you.  We've been shit, so why not mix things up a bit?  OB has proved invaluable on the road (at Southampton, LDV) with his pace.  Perhaps we've been over-reliant on Cuthbert.  Fuck knows, but give it a chance.

Wheah Torquay 3 - 3 Oxford.

So looking at the subs it's tactical then, Wilson can fuck off. Last act of a desperate man!

Only dropped then?

Very sensible :nod:

3-3 now :)

Here's hoping to humble pie...

Lots of games in not a lot of days.  Freshening it up me thinks...

I only just noticed that Cuthbert's not playing..that's fucking mental I would have thought ???

players may have knocks.let's not slate wilsons selections yet.he may have been forced into them

I wonder if the Charlton fans are as confident of winning as we are of losing?

Freshen up freshen up for the poonani

No splash were gash

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Charlton have been drawing a lot lately.

today

BBC have Benson in their team, thought he was suspended?

I wonder, if things aren't going well, if he will change things around as this bench allows.

no

Weirdo

DEATH TO WILSON

Anyone got a link?

Guilty.

Also, why didn't anyone inform me that Oxford got a late winner? Oh...

We are now languishing in 19th.

Nice theory, but who's going to make the difference from Saturday that means we see a lot of the ball?  The inclusion of O'Brien isn't going to make a lot of difference on that front and I can't see Timlin being more effective than JP - but hopefully in a couple of hours I'll be eating these words.

Just got in. Timlin, O'Brien starting. One up front. Cuthbert dropped. What The Fuck?

Well definitely win now.

Shhhh that talk was dying down :)

Prutton is actually captain I see

cuthbert dropped? what the fuck??!

wasteman prutton as the captain...oh dear

Don't you repress me. This is exactly how Nazi Germany started.

:)

Fucking Tranmere have won against Carlisle.

We're struggling Swindon again.

I, for one, like the fact Danny's mixing things up.  If it works, hopefully some of you lot who spout on about "having no plan b" will shut the fuck up.  That said I can see us getting dicked today :D 

"Former Juventus front man Vincent Pericard" always makes me laugh when they say that!

 
Richard the Repressor

YOU SHALL BE REPRESSED. Please.

Why the fuck has he got three strikers on the bench? There is no chance of them all coming on, so why bother?

I'm not even going to get started on the rest of the team. He has lost the fucking plot, again.

A bit of me is hoping we get stuffed and then lose the next two as that should see Wilson getting sacked. Will be worth it.

Body language of the players didn't look good, lots of toe gazing etc as they came out the tunnel. Will need something early to spark us into life

Not a bad start so far

I think wilson is throwing darts at the squad sheet to make his team selection

Any links yet?

Ooh a crowded forum this evening. Hello to the people who are usually at the game and my usual salutations to my fellow poverty stricken exiles :)

 :bye:

Fuck off Pullen and find me a link......

Does this work?

http://allsportslive.blogreaction.com/charlton-athletic-swindon-town-live-streaming-online-english-league-one-match,44054/

Absolute fucking farce, he seriously has lost the plot.  What has Cuthbert done in the last 2 games to deserve being dropped and what has Prutton done to suddenly be deserving of captain?  Words fail me quite honestly.

Somebody did bring up a ponint that he may be carrying a knock for all we know. Which is fair comment.

A few on here:  http://www.kofss-stream.com/

Interesting comment on the TV that Charlton have only 4 players left from the play-off semi final.

Looking at our team I think we only have 2 players that started the second leg playing.

This may work for some, won't work for me here at work until 6 though, bloddy ie6!

http://www.everythingon.tv/channels/Live-now

This works...

http://www.atdhe.net/31843/watch-charlton-athletic-vs-swindon-town (http://www.atdhe.net/31843/watch-charlton-athletic-vs-swindon-town)

Surely he wouldn't be on the bench though if that was the case?

Good cross there by Town... Shame nobody was in the middle.

Not worth risking him kind of knock rather than anything serious. I don't know, I'm just trying to make sense of it!

Not a bad start to be fair.

Not a bad start to be fair!

Yep, we look up for it.

We are working hard...

Goes to show that it is possible to rebuild on a limited budget after losing key players.  They've been in the top 6 consistently this season.

Good to see us putting in 100% effort so far, keep it up Town!

Bugger

FFS handball

FFS

when your lucks out, fucking hell....

FUCK

Booo. We don't look happy.

Paul Smith's in goal again...

Blatant handball in the build-up

Shit ref's yet again.

ex playerish.

that was more handball than the bournemouth penalty, certainly the first one.

Bit unlucky then, so Plan B time then.........

No league clean sheet since 25th of September still then, great

That is the problem with this system - it is going to make it hard to score a goal rather than just press them.

Its OK we always come back from behind to win....

Cunting ref

I know we all know the answer anyway because someone has to ask this question

when was the last time we can from behind to win a game?

1947?

I think someone said it was Brighton 2008...  could very well be wrong.

Shit bit of luck for us as that was handball all day long. I cant see us scoring with only Austin up top.

Doom and gloom from here on in

Just about sums it up, even when we look the better team we go behind.  The best we can hope for is a point now  >:(

Just for you Dave - we last came from behind to win in April 2009 Brighton Away (I've forgotton the exact date)

I'd love to have a read of Wilson's notes that he writes during the game....

Thanks, but I couldn't get it to work. Mind you, I'm trying to feed a two year old his dinner.

Oh, and cunting fucking ref.

Meh, close enough.

We have been doing ok, up until letting in a fluke goal. The main thing now is not to panic

http://eplsite.com/stream1.html

has Cuthbert been sold?

shame we went behind as we were doing ok.dont like 1 upfront though.
no complaints with their goal.was not deliberate hand ball at all.

He gained an advantage...Free kick.

Oh do fuck off.  He controlled it with his arm.  That was 500 times more handball than Austin on saturday.  

I was hoping that arriba was being sarcastic or at least fishing.

never deliberate hand ball.miscontriolled then hit his arm.take your blinkers off.

Its hand ball plain and simple.

I am fully aware of this.

I think I answered it when it was first asked x amount of months ago, but someone has to ask every time they we go behind dont they?

I think we all know it was away at Brighton in April 2009.

Handball...Free-kick. The next thing you'll be saying that Maradona didn't deliberately handball against England in the '86 World Cup.

Austin you nob end.

Handball or not, they haven't let their heads drop and are playing quite well

Mate, you are just wrong.  Dont need blinkers to see that they gained an advantage because he controlled the ball with his arm.  Its called cheating.

Great ball by Rose, woeful attempt by Charlie

wooooo

GOAL RICHIE

I'm both confused that I'm accused for having 'blinkers' on for thinking that was a handball.

Now I don't know what to think :)

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Well played boys!

Oh yes

get in!

rubbish.anyway goal!!!!!

Very well worked

Great run by Rose, fantastic cross,and Austin misses a tap-in six yards out. Sitter.   :cry:

Need to get Charlie up against Old Grampa Dailly more.

RITCHIE GOAL!!!!
At the second attempt.    :clap:

Great ball by aob to set up the cross

Great build up -fully deserved

I just cum

If only their goal keepers handling was as good as Paul Bensons he'd have saved that ::)

Yes get in!!! Definitely been coming been all over them since their goal.

Oooooh. Just wide from Caddis. Past Smiths post.

what the fuck was that!

fucking hell thought that was in

Goal is no more than we deserve.

This shit line up has played very well.

Maybe that Wilson blokes not such an idiot after all eh?

Caddis spots keeper off line and lobs him. Just misses. Corner to Charlton.    :eek:

SO far wilson has got it spot on.....

Clearly not everybody does, because as you pointed out somebody asks every time?  :)

Could this be the game when that record finally deserts us, let's hope so.

I can't believe my laptop battery died just before we scored.

Oh well

Get the fuck in, happy days, come on you redssss!

Aob made a gd run then

Happy to be eating my words thus far!

Still don't unerstand the Cuthbert dropping though.

Matt Ritchie in a class of his own.

Much better player then Danny Ward based on this performance

dominated the first half.

Brilliant.

hahahaha

i think we should gamble and throw another man forward.they are deffo there for the taking

Determination, desire and application. How many times have we been able to say that this season? Still alot to do.

I hope there'snot something underlying going on.  It's a very odd decision to drop him to the bench tho.

Indeed. I still think that dropping Cuthbert was a strange decision but having said that, Morrison's done OK.

Overall, that was great half of football. Charlton should have been embarassed to have been leading by a fluke goal which blatantly should never have been given.

I love the look of Rose going forward. When Sheehan is fit, I would play him at left back and Rose left midfield.

Happy Days! (so far) 8)

depends, throwing on an extra front man would probably make us less attacking!

Take yo' blinkers off.

No, nor do I because I don't think he's been poor enough to be dropped.

Maybe it's a case of wanting to see Sean playing alongside Frampton or Cuthbert needing a break.

I think the point is that we all looked at the team & thought WTF is that, but sometimes you just have to trust that the manager knows what he's doing

Are you watching the game Rich?

Or is that a  :fishing:

Let leave it at that.  We're not going to agree.  But you're wrong.  Oh and yay! goal! and all that!

dean kiely ex charton says its handball.

I suppose he's got his town blinkers on as well.

Ask arriba :)

i take the handball comment back.
the first one deffo was after seeing it from the close up angle.
i got it wrong...

What the fuck is Wilson doing?  We've dominated Charlton at the Valley over the first 45....  fucking clown.

Charlton's goal was undisputedly handball.  Can only assume the ref and linesman missed it.

Well, that was a cracking 1st half! Trouble is, I can see us being plucky little Swindon the galant losers.

And also offside.

fucking offside for their goal aswell, don't think there was much right about it tbh :\

ref was near half way line - how can he see incidents from there?  don't know what lino's excuse could be - perhaps he was having a doze.

Not bad so far from our beloved "clueless cunt". I'd be more optimistic though if it wasn't for the dastardly record.

Heh! heh!


Got it 8)

Austin has already had his obligatory 2 misses...  fuck the hoodoo, stay positive.  Excellent 45, don't think any player can be faulted.  Even Caddis' near miss would have been a spectacular own-goal.

Ritchie has looked different class, with Ferry also having an excellent game - I think surely he must have justified a run in the side now.  I'm still unconvinced by Prutton, just a poor man's Douglas.  The fullbacks have both had decent games, Rose looking bright down the left.

All we need now is Wilson unleash the secret weapon, Juve Number Nine Peri-Pericard to bang us the winner.

I'm eating my words about the midfield so far!  Has been a hundred times better than Sat.  Timlin's playing really well.  I'm not convinced that AOB's adding a lot though - great pass for the goal but hardly featured otherwise - surely another striker alongside Austin would be more beneficial as we're losing out in that area.

Seriously though, this half really has proven beyond any doubt that Wilson has indeed lost the plot.

Bloody good first half that, even with them scoring. Some of the best football I've seen from us this season and AOB even beat his man once!

Ferry has looked class so far as well.

Please now let's go on and win it, couldn't take us cocking it up in last 10 mins again...

we'd lose our domination of possession if we took a midfield man out imo.

As an aside, are Amankwha and LJF still injured?

AOB upfront?

It was Timlin who put the cross in. AOB passed it to him.

Why not! One career goal... on his league debut.

http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=466330

Charlie !!!

Charlie Charlie Austin. Charlie Charlie Austin.

And he celebrates with the sprinkler...

we were losing, now we are winning?

equalizer for Charlton in the 96th minute of the 4 added on, right?

hahahaha yes!!! take that

AOB with the assist?!!

AHEM!!    :-[

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Nice one Charlie

Erm... WAHOO!!!!

Sprinkler!

ooooooooooooh yeah. Sprinkler.

Come on then Town.  Let's hold out for once and not throw it away late on.   Please, please, please.

Like the way they're talking up Charlie's price - £2 mil a snip accordig to them!

JPM on for AOB

Oh no...

AoB off for JPM and he didn't even look injured. What is going on?

AOB knackered?

good substitution imo.
no need to gamble upfront now charlton have gone 2 upfront.richie can go left now.nice balance to the team

Aob involved in both goals today too bad the ball never went to him any other time

Stating the obvious, but we look so much more reassured playing it on the ground. Now long balls are creeping in, just handing back possession.

We are starting to defend very deep.

Don't like it when the are pushed back onto the defence

I guess I've never seen him play long enough to get tired!

Fucking lino. Charlie given offside when level.

Need to keep the pressure up. Few tired legs out there!

Cuthbert on for Timlin.

Need another goal

5 at the back?

3-1 MORRISON !!!

GET IN!!!

M-unit. Woohoo

SSSEEEEAAAANNNN!!!

marvellous!

no pericard

3-1 up

co-incidence?

Is there a fire drill ?

Fucking superb

Great ball by JP & a great header from Sean.

Is there fire drill

Get in great header

Wilson in!!

4-1 Charlie.....

haha this is immense!!

WHAT THE FUCK

Wooo

fucking hell.this is brilliant...

YES!!!!

Is there another fire drill ?

they call themselves fans...fucking wankers should stay till the end

GET THE FUCK IN.

A brace from Charlie too!!!

What was the problem with this system again mate?

Looks like we might have broken our 'not coming from behind since March '09' curse?

Brilliant!!

Phil Parkinson will be at Jobseekers tomorrow morning!

SSSSSHHHHH! :)

I wish to eat masses of humble pie

Well done all

Prutton - awesome tonight

Indeed, still 7 minutes + stoppages to go.

Caddis has been class.

I very much doubt he will

Happy to admit that I was massively, massively wrong and happily so.

If you were thinking that I'm some sort of Wilson out cheerleader you've got the wrong person. I was making a general point about 451 and about after 20 minutes.

lets have a 5th Doss - come on...

Fuck me, what is going on?

Will we have the Wilson Out brigade on tonight?

He's got it spot on tonight. Not as clueless as some would have thought.

Which also makes this form frustrating!

I'm only teasing.
Just funny to read the posts of people who wrote us off before the first ball had been kicked. I cant remember where, but im sure i read someone wanting us to lose so Wilson gets sacked quicker?

4-2

oh dear, the charlton come back is on.

Cock !! 4-2.

Uh-Oh.

I too would like a piece of humble pie.

Fantastic.

Proud of everyone

Well, well, well.  Us of so little faith (apart from Leefer)  :D.  Brilliant stuff Town.  Just makes some of our results this season even more ridiculous.

Will be interesting to see who starts on Saturday.  Douglas is obviously back from suspension.

4 minutes.

4 mins stoppage time

Three minutes to go.

judging by your avatar you dont need a piece, you need a fucking truck load

What we need is another performance on Saturday to back this up.

Will be an Interesting decision for DW on Saturday, does he stick with this line-up/formation or does he change it.

You would assume that JD would come back in

Great to watch the game in Norway!!!

1.30 minutes to go...

Charlton blast it into the stands... That'll be that.

Less than 30 seconds to go...

The curse is over !!!

10secs now rich :clap:

Fuck off you aids ridden cunt

Great effort!  Now need to follow this up with another win against Oldham on Saturday.

GAME OVER

COME ON YOOOOOOOOOOU REDS!

well i enjoyed skys after match coverage.

Fan fucking tastic result.

Well done the Town

Hooray!  Hopefully its not just another false dawn!  Lets start the run now.

So did I. Couldn't the darts wait for 15 mins. It's not often we win on Sky let alone score 4 away.

yes - I meant the pass to Timlin!

"Swindon irresistible".  Not two words we've heard mentioned in the same sentence for quite some time.

Well done boys great effort!

Showed some real touches of quality tonight.

Good performance, not to sure how much of it was down to Charlton being shit, but should be a good confidence booster and hopefully more of the same on Sat

Who wants some???

Ha, well whaddya know?

A pleasant surprise. Well done Town.

right game over

onto the next one, same team I reckon.

Shhh La Liga is on.

Indeed.

 :clap:

A big slice please OST.

What a fantastic performance. Passion, desire and quality. Everything missing from Saturday was on display today.

Not getting carried away but brilliant.

I'll tell you how much, NONE of it! Full credit to every single player and Danny Wilson. We made them look shit.

I'll have some, for once this season can we actually build on the result please!

"Que?"

COME ON YOU REDS THIS IS THE START  BRIGHTON TO FADE AWAY  TOLD EVERYONE 66-1 WAS TOO BIG TO MISS OUT ON   ONWARDS AND UPWARDS

austin lead the line brilliantly.
will have gained even more admirers after that performance.
morrison too was solid and assured alongside frampton.

Much as today was fantastic, Douglas is invaluable and has been sorely missed in the last 2 home games.  IMO he must return next game.

I personally wouldnt change a winning team unless I had to.

I thought Prutton, Ferry and Timlin played bloody well and totally bossed the game.

Excellent performance. Charlton were third before tonight - shows the poor standard of the league and must give some hope.

I hope we can add 2/3 faces and hold onto Austin.

Danny got it right this evening. The players put in an excellent shift. Caddis and Rose were excellent and Charlie played the lone front man very well. Really hope to see the same application against Oldham.

Miguel Comminges has signed for Swindon B

Luggy doesn't deny himself

When was the last time we came from behind to win ?

:) :) :)

The hoodoo is over!

^^
This

Ooooh!

Andy Fitton's on....

Wow, pleased for Wilson & he got it spot on. I love it when virtually everyone is proved wrong! Onward and upward!

Was great to see every single player putting in the effort today. Hopefully the boost in confidence this must bring will kickstart the season now.

MoM Timlin, just for the three tackles in the first half.

He needs a frigging hair cut though. Grease filled gay-lord.

Oh, and WE WIN and AoB Starts - Coincidence?

ACE. That'll do. Everyone earnt their dosh tonight, except Wilson - shouldn't put a team out to make us think we will lose.

All the players were a class above Charlton. I know we shouldn't, but from that performance i'd get Frampton in.

Got to start with the same side, Douggie on the bench. That was a superb performance.

Not a coincidence but not the deciding factor either - first win with O'Brien starting this season

Good tactics Mr Wilson the change to 4-5-1 seemed to work for large parts

Still not sold on O'brien but for a pork pie or 2 he'll leave and get us a bit of money

the deciding factor was the lack of Pericard FACT*



*may not be a fact.

Think Fitton said if we did it would be a loan.

Sound's like we'll be signing Ritchie permanently. Sweet.

ha, loved Hodgetts no sell of the Brighton text. Brilliant.

Well played town !! I was not expecting that  :)

I think the defence has been rather more solid last 3 games than for most of season.  This has to be down to Frampton.  He seems to be more vocal than any of the others in organising them too.
But still letting in silly goals unfortunately!

Simon Ferry was phenomenal today. Austin will get the plaudits, but ferry was my motm by far. Popped up everywhere and never gave the ball away.

Props too to rose, who had his best game i've seen for us, and too caddis who in the past few weeks is starting to play like someone who's the scottish u21 captain

The players celebrated ours goals more than they have been this season.... nice to see!

Sorted. Morrison looked absolute quality with a bit of experience beside him. Won everything.

I also liked how the togetherness we had last year seemed to creep in again once we scored the 3rd and 4th. Hopefully this is where the season turns round.

Can someone reset the stopwatch now?  :clap:

Wow, we were immense! That was a performance worthy of last season and nothing like I've seen in the games I've attended this season (most). Hopefully, we can get another 3 points at Oldham and push on from there, but that depends on whether Austin stays.

Maybe I should start more matchday threads ??

We should play away more often too  :sherlock:

So when exactly was the last time we came from behind to win? It must be a while :hmmm:

i have a funny feeling this result could kick start our season now

At the Gayers, back end season before last

Well fuck me that was unexpected but very wlecome. Hard to pick a MOM but Prutton gets it for me. The 2 big questions now are can we kick on and can i have some of what leefer's been drinking recently because his rose tinted glases worked today.

Charlton 35 minutes ago :)

What a stark difference to any of the other games this season. A consistently decent possession game. Charlton were balls, absolutely terrible but we looked organised an imposed ourselves and worked hard which is what won us the game. We were a team for once and not one player shirked his responsibility. Simply a joy to watch for a change. No more hoofball and a great result ensues.

One game at a time though and if we take every game as it comes rather than thinking we should be in the playoffs then perhaps we'll prosper. Need to get a point at Oldham and a win against Yeovil and if we do that then I think Wilson and the team will be restoring my faith. Should we put in the typical performances of this season then unfortunately this game will have been a crazy one off.

Very bizarre that almost overnight we can play like that. Everything clicked.

Really??

That long??

I had no idea :hmmm:

was AOBs decent 60 minutes enough to class as 'come good'

?

Morrison was outstanding for me......Ferry and Prutton played well and Caddis also...funny thing is Austin has had better matches and still looked class.
Nice to see the glee on the players faces at the end.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten already 8)

If it is then a lot of us will have to eat our words. I hope so, but something tells me no sadly.

Well after managing to stream the last 15 minutes of it at work and then having to argue with some fat bint behind the bar across the road I managed to catch all the goals that mattered tonight. Fantastic performance from the lads. Commitment, discipline and endeavour across the park and a thoroughly deserved victory. Can't wait for my local fixture on Saturday now!

Only negatives for me were Prutton, who I thought was utter shite for the whole game and who I hope Wilson drops in place of Dougie, and the switch of Ritchie to the right when JP came on just didn't work. Ritchie was immense up until that point and hardly saw him after that.

Other than that I can't stop smiling!!!

I could put more in depth anaylysis, but I will instead attempt to keep things succinct:

FUCKING YES

No.

one guy on that charlton forum reckons they should sack parkinson and get wilson to replace him

soapy tit wank

wasnt asking you.

No, as he was still easily our worst player.

nor you.

yes

Even Pericard has had good games Dave.

That should pretty much sum it up for you.

aob's delivery leaves alot to be desired.
can't fault his workrate though.

 
Prutton shit?... :hmmm:...lost me there.

Despite the general gloom that Town fans have had lately, we've always known that we're capable of performances like that; it's just that they've been so inconsistent.  Contrast the great performance against Huddersfield and the 2nd half vs Rovers with the displays vs Leyton O and Charlton at home.
This doesn't necessarily turn around the season but needs to be used as a real booster to confidence that will see more like today and less like Saturday.

He played his part in a very good team performance, therefore I don't think criticism on today's showing alone is fair!

:)

That was brilliant. Lets get cunted.

If we can play like that against Yeovil we will smash them.

Great performances all over the pitch... Ferry, Morrison, Caddis, Timlin especially. We played actual football on the whole and the result is no more than we deserved. But AOB was still poor/missing/lacking in quality.

So... when was the last time we came behind to win?   :D

That'll stave off the King Out brigade for a while...  Only 6 pts behind Charlton, all we need is a bit of a run and the season would be transformed.  Austin seems to want to stay, certainly for the meantime.  We have the quality in the squad, it just takes the right shuffle.  It shows Wilson's got a hard job picking his first XI - too many on here were quick to criticise when it would seem he got his selection spot on!

Fuck me, this thread might get to the same length as the Bournemouth thread...

We can go as high as 10th if results go our way on Saturday.

A very good performance, just hope we can push on.

Notice that Charlton have an FA Cup tie against Spurs at the weekend, one eye on that perhaps? However lets not detract from what was a great performance. Surely if they played like that every week the players would enjoy it so much more, so lets hope Danny doesn't tinker too much with the next starting line up

Great win, great performance. Let's not get too carried away just yet though, hey.

So far this season a  :suicide: performance usually follows games like today's

I won't get carried away. I also won't let a fine performance pass me by.

Enjoyed that, a lot, and I met flammableben.

A contradiction if ever i heard one :D

Did you have to buy him a pint?

Thats what normally happens

Thought he charged around a lot but lost possession far too often, made the wrong decision more times than he made the right one and felt he was the weak link. All IMHO of course. See Charlie's offside goal when he should have spread it left. Bear in mind I've only seen him 2 or 3 times this season so haven't got much to compare it to.

actually, no, I will next time though :)

that wasnt even Prutton was it?

Oh thank fuck for that. Everything is OK now right? Just like after the Southampton games, and the Wednesday game, and at several other points this season, when the side has managed a decent performance.

If it's alright with everyone I'll I delay my celebration until we've pulled out of our "beat a top 6 side then stumble to a half arsed draw, or pathetic defeat to the likes of fucking Dagenham" pattern, amd we're at least in the top half of the division.

I have drank copious amounts of cider won a bet £110 and the world looks wonderful tonight  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Great goal sean, you played well tonight

Well done

Are you a girl, or a girly boy?

Well, that was a pleasant surprise. We were ace.

Bossed them for 90 minutes. I was completley baffled when i saw the line up, but fair play Danny, it worked a treat. Cant fault anyone tonight, though Ferry was particially immense, much more like the player of last season. The players looked so much more together, they looked delighted when we scored. Also, it was refreshingto have commentators who were quite knowledgeable about the league.

If this doesn't kick start our season, nothing will.

Jeez....glad we didnt lose :suicide:

Prutton was the guy left. Timlin was the one who passed the ball to Charlie, who was onside anyway.

Commentators who know the league? According to them we had paul smith in goal, and have picked up 4 points from 3 home games over teh xmas epriod

I think they were including Wednesday Dave.

Ritchie interview on the radio: signing a 2 1/2 year permanent deal this week. Good news.

Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.


What? I thought Prutton was superb playing just behind Charlie. Left Timlin and Ferry to do the dirty work (who also had good games) and just got on with the good stuff.

Prehaps the second commentator, not sure who it was. Seemed to talk a bit of sense.

Don Goodman.

Yeah Don Goodman seems to know his fair share about the lower leageus tbf

to be fair, other than calling Phil Smith Paul once I thought the commentators came across very well.

Don Goodman...decent enough on lower league football.

Don Goodman. Best lower league pundit at sky.

My thoughts:
- Ferry & Timlin were superb
- Prutton was very energetic
- Morrison and Frampton played very well together
- Thought Smith was not tested.
- O'Brien's pace clearly scared Charlton in the first half
- Thought Rose linked poorly with O'Brien in the 1st half. Lots of hoofing to noone (not the Brighton player). Ferry bailed Rose out a few times defensively too
- Caddis looked good going forward in the 2nd half, but not so great defending against a speedy winger in the first 60 mins.
- Austin looked a little off the pace in the first half. By that, I mean that he got into great positions, but the 2-3 chances he had he seemed to misjudge the pace of the ball.
- Ritchie sparkled on the right. Wasn't so effective on the left.
- Surprised to see Cuthbert come on for Timlin. Thought Cuthbert was at fault for Charlton 2nd as it was his man who scored (Frampton came flying in just a little too late)
- Great cross from JPM for Austin's second. Not sure whether he touched the ball other than that.
- Dossevi ran around but had little time to impress.

The questions that I find myself asking:

1. Was that display because they were on the TV?
2. Will it be repeated or will they relax again?
3. Were the players just trying to put themselves in the shop window?
4. Were Charlton just poor?
5. Will this performance hasten Austin's departure?
6. Should we read anything into Pericard being on the bench for the last 2 games?
7. Will Frampton & Morrison be the preferred pairing for now?

Indeed Spencer, very knowledgable

Bigging up £2'mill minimum too ;)

I thought it was Caddis who crossed for the austins second? Mcgovern put the ball in for morrisons goal, which was brilliantly taken tbf

8. you think too much

enjoy the result!!

I think i could drink a few of you under the table, but hey ho SWINDON WON woop

Dean Kiely if we are talking about the Sky coverage

Girl.

:smugfu:

Don Goodman was the other commentator for the match.

This is why Wilson is the manager, and you Sir, are not!

Apologies

Ok, my mistake on the example then. Just thought as I was watching the game that he got so much space and didn't do enough with the ball and gave it away too often. Put it this way, if I were to drop one of him, Ferry or Tims for Dougie then it would be him. Though Timlin did well other than that shitty example of Prutton's shiteness I just gave  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Girls seem to fall into two categories, those that get a bit squiffy after a bottle of wine, and those that get a bit squiffy after a bottle of vodka.

The Eastern European birds who I've met in the last few years seem to fit into the latter category, which makes trying to keep up difficult  :flaccid: 

All I did was question whether players were subs, dropped or injured.

yeah what a twat, boo....you sure showed me.

In Timlins defence that was a great pass and led to a goal.

Linesman possibly called it wrong as well.

But lets not hide from the fact that you are a bit of a cunt :)

My decision not to watch the game and go shopping instead was inspired.

I knew we would win :no:

what you think of me has fuck all to do with Wilsons management but nice to see you took the time and effort to pick out a post of mine to try and make me look stupid.

As usual aim for the top.

Don Goodman

Donald Ralph Goodman

wasn't it Don Goodman? also out of interest, apart from tonight does anyone know when we last came from behind to win??  :hmmm:

No i just like winding people like you up :)  I'm sure you're a lovely young man really. I was generally just reading through the thread and saw what you wrote, and i know you like to be 'right' so thought i'd pick you up on it.

Onwards and upwards anyway

John Goodman?

Woop.......equalls girl.

...and if I didnt play along all the fishing would be in vain.

less of the young these days sadly.

Wilson got his tactics spot on tonight. Boss the midfield, hassle and hit them on the break.

My hat goes off to him.

Well I certainly wasn't expecting that. For the first time this season we actually played well for 90 minutes of a match. We were in total control in terms of possession and controlling the tempo of the game and we created plenty of chances. And the biggest factor of all.....we actually fucking won after going a goal down. At long last.

Charlton got lucky with their 1st. I didn't think we deserved to be losing at any stage during the game so it was good to see us get back into it and then batter them in the 2nd half. I thought they all played well today. Was impressed with Ritchie and that was certainly one of his better games for us. Like I said the other day when we give him the ball things can happen. Ferry is starting to look like the player from last season again. That's a very positive thing. And Charlie scored more than 1 goal in a game.

It was a good team performance and much needed. This is the sort of result that can turn a season but we've been here before. 1 swallow doesn't make a summer and we need to build on this and get a result at Oldham and then at home to Yeovil. There is still plenty of hard work to be done that's for sure.

And final word for Wilson. Saw the team before the game and cringed but to be fair to him he got it spot on today with his tactics and selection.

And if Fitton let's Charlie go in January then tonight will have all been in vain

Hah! Fair enough

So glad I went now! I'll post my thoughts then delight myself by trawling through the previous 32 pages...

When I heard it was 4-5-1 it sounded like a pretty good idea. Wasn't sure about dropping Cuthbert, but wasn't overly distraught about it either. Do we normally start warming up 50 minutes before kick-off? I thought we usually left it a bit later!

Smith did well, can't blame him for either of the goals and was generally calm under pressure. The back four did pretty well on the whole. Caddis and Rose got forward well and we dealt with their wide players when they got forward. Morrison was pretty solid apart from one little mistake in the second half, and Frampton was his usual no-nonsense self.

I was very impressed with Prutton and Ferry. Prutton seemed to play as an attacking midfielder, holding the ball up well, putting their back line under pressure and linking the play. Ferry was great putting tackles in and bombing forward. I was a little less impressed with Timlin as I thought he often sat a bit deep and allowed their players too much time on the ball, but he was still fairly decent.

Ritchie had a better game, and has now been involved in 3 goals in 3 games, scoring two and winning the pen against Posh. Also, we finally managed to play some decent balls in to Alan O'Brien. I think our success on the wings was largely down to Charlton being poor at the back - we were given far too much room at times, and balls over the top or through the middle were tearing them apart at times. Even so, we had to take advantage of that and the wide men did so.

Austin ran his arse off as ever, and deserved his two goals. Great to see some sprinkler action too!

JPM came on and did ok. i was surprised to see Cuthbert coming on as were defending well. I was a bit worried we'd go for 5 at the back, but it turned out to be a decent change, with Cuthbert slotting in well at RB and putting some good challenges in towards the end. Dossevi was alright - by the time he came on we were just trying to run down the clock so his main job was to hold the ball up. I thought he might have put their defence under a bit more pressure when they had possession but never mind.

Overall it was a good performance, with a number of individuals really showing their worth for a change. Wilson got it spot on tactically, and we thoroughly deserved the points. Yes, Charlton were poor but to go away from home and score 4 (and win!) is not something to be sniffed at. (And there was still a guy near me who moaned throughout the game about only having 1 up top!). If we can get something at Oldham it will have been a very successful week!

10 mins before kick off believe me i was cursing that team selection but fucking fair play tjey proved alot of people wrong... didn't they? Hands up up whp saw that teeam geting that result?

I been one of the first to have a pop about Wilsons tactics lately but today he gave us a glimour of hope.

Chuffed to fuck

Sure all of the football angles have been covered, so:

The pies were the hottest I have ever burned myself on.

The stewards were utter cunts, god knows how many were ejected/arrested but it was a fair few.

Charlton fans are now the worst I have ever heard, and more evidence that drums should not be tolerated, absolutely fucking pathetic.

Finally though, what a fucking day that was, superb.

Good on you.

I've just come in from an enforced night out with the Mrs. in Kazan where it's -15C and I've never enjoyed reading through a thread so much. Obviously the turning point was getting that poem into the dressing room. Inspired on my part I'd say. Thanks to whoever passed it on.

Rudyard Kipling in!

(His pies are exceedingly good too, I hear)

I reckon i saw crispy on the tv.

He looks big on my plasma

I saw the team and could only conclude Wilson had lost the plot and it was his last throw of the dice, decided to go out instead and couldn't believe it when I checked the score.

Fair play to Wilson but I can't really see a team containing O'Brien and Rose maintaining any consistency.

But when Sheehan comes back, Rose can play left midfield. That's what I would do any way. His delivery of the ball, whether from a wide or central position is absolutely fantastic.

There were only about 100 town fans so you probably did!

There were 200 there and i drank/sang them all under the table woop woop (in a girly voice)  :wink:

More like 2-300 of us. Was a bit weird having so few in such a big stand, but a good night was had by all!

I agree with these two posts.
Morrison was a rock at the back alongside Frampton. Good to see Rose putting in yet another fantastic performance. Really pleased for him. He's always been good going forwad, but shakey at the back, however just recently, he's been very assured.
I agree with you DV. Keep the same starting XI, however stick Dougie on the bench. It'd be nice having a player of his calibre coming off the bench after 60 or so minutes to 'fuck shit up' a bit.

I like this winning lark

Looked fun to be fair!

Reading through this thread has been hilarious. I thought Wilson had it pretty much spot on with his team selection - the only question being why Cuthbert was on the bench. But it seems most on here were writing us off and calling for Wilson's head as soon as they saw the line up.

This isn't me saying I'm right and you're wrong, but perhaps a few on here should take a leaf out of leefer's book?  Fair play to those who held their tongues or have accepted they were wrong. Same team again for Oldham please Danny!

Haha i just tweeted leon the king knight asking him whether he rated austin

His answer?

"whos that?"

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Great win...but I wonder if Danny is going to get a chance to read this thread through?  The first 9 pages are fucking priceless.

he should probably concentrate on the game away at Oldham - you know his jon. Long way to go before he's in the gloating, high horse, told you so position.

Dare I mention that we are now as close to Charlton (5th) as we are to Rovers (21st)?

Ok, Rovers have games in hand, but it made me smile.

With absolute pleasure.

 I know I've been one of those that's continually harped on about the going behind and not being able to then come back and win, but the longer it went on the harder it became.  To finally do it in this fashion makes it even better and hopefully will give the team the confidence that's been missing when the situation arises again.

Says 347 on the O/S. that would have been at the end after loads got thrown out! Anyway someones fiddled the figures and trousered a few 25 quids as I'm positive there were 400+ of us.

Why was that?

Well most of it was crispy and his mates getting lippy..

soapy tit wank
Would you like a trial at Swindon?
No Im ok thanks

Im going to tweet him again saying

"good, you shit cunt"

should say to him the money must be better in northern ireland

Nah, that's about right i reckon.

how can i see this?

Fuck me...............did i dream that?

Charlton were as piss poor as we were when they came up that night.

Welcome 3 points that!!!

Mad night....


Love it! :beers:

Leon Knight is a cock of the highest order.

Fantastic display-great atmosphere.Ferry MOTM for me,Timlin,Morrison and Frampton close behind.I wasn't that impressed with Prutton though.But Charlton it has to be said were really poor,down to us you could say.We battled and looked like a unit-that was the big difference for me.Fair play to Danny for persevering with 4-5-1 after going 1 down but again was a bit baffled by the subs.

Jinx no more...

I thought the subs were fair enough. O'Brien had run himself into the ground, Cuthbert coming on (and Caddis playing on the wing) gave us a bit more defensively on the right, and then Dossevi came on because Austin was knackered.

I saw you tonight adje - would have said hi but you were about 10 rows in front of me!

 :no:  Stuards were awefull.

or perhaps you're just lippy?

I reckon i saw you on the tv porky

OB yes but I thought Timmy and Charlie were odd choices but who cares now?

I didn't get kicked out?


And probally Tans, had a black Fred Perry jacket/cap?

What's a Jacket Cap? Some sort of new garment?  ???

ive been going to football a long, 99 times out of 100 if someone is kicked out by a steward its deserved.

Yep. I nearly got thrown out for drinking the wrong side of the metal thingy, real shockers.

The other 91, not so much.

Illiterate cunt

So you are saying chucking your ticket on the floor warrents getting kicked out?

Shocking odds.

If you're fat and ginger? Absolutely.

I didn't get kicked out.

No, but I'd say that example is a complete fable.

that was an odd choice of numbers wasnt it nemo? no idea why that was my selection. doesnt even make sense. I've corrected it now - move on!

I am boring myself now....but...Prutton (who did put in a shift) was still guilty of giving the ball away cheap.

Is there a website with all the stats on.....passes made...tackles fucked up....passes ballsed up etc etc?

You wern't there to see it and your an utter miserable cunt so there really isn't much point trying to convince you.

Don't get me wrong, some people got kicked out for being twats, but some were kicked out for fuck all.

In the Porter Butt?  What Cunts!

You were supping in an aggressive manner.

I didn't know you were fat and ginger.

A completely random example.

They weren't good, didn't seem to matter what you did you were at risk tonight. I am all for idiots getting lobbed if they are out of order, but it seemed if you farted you were chucked out today.

What would they do if every away fan turned up in fancy dress as "stewards" (stuards for Crispy)?

You've never liked Jesus. Unbeliever!

Ive not got that good eyes!

I just saw the fat ginger kid ;)

That sir/miss. Is a fucking superb idea.

My supposed and untrue miserable cunt demeanor still has fuck all to do with the fact most of the people who get kicked out deserve it.

Its usually young wannabe 'hooligans' who always claim its nazi stewards and they've never done anything wrong - despite the fact they have.

...oh and if we are going to throw insults around I'll go with the classic (...but also true) fat and ginger.

good day.

I dont want him to walk on water...just take a touch and pass it 10 yards will do.

May be his form will improve at Easter?

Going to oldham?

Lets make it happen!

Most stewards are twats....little hitlers with no interest in football...desperate to be liked by the faceless brigade who rule them.
Fair to say a lot of stewards antagonise fans who bite back on account of having a few beers.

Like i said, there were a few twats who did get kicked out and deserved it, but there was also a few that got kicked out and didn't deserve it.

Some are ok, some very good and some are total pricks...

That knob from Tranmere two seasons ago and the pricks at Swansea.

Nobody gets close to our very own 'Panpipes' with the Ponytail in the TE.

Leeds last season!

You can give him shit all you like, but he's right in this case, you're not.

does crispy have a stone island jacket?

No.

Great game. Great fun. Very very hard to believe that Charlton started the game in 3rd. They were really poor.

I think I've finally worked out why Timlin is such a frustrating player. He does really simple things well: "Hit that bloke", "Throw yourself in front of the ball", "Pass in the direction you're facing". But whenever he has to make a decision, he struggles. He had a couple of chances to release Austin, or AOB and tripped over his feet.


Charlie A seemed delighted to get his first. Real celebration. I was worried he was starting to try too hard, but the boy is just a natural.

The Stewards did seem pretty heavy-handed. Who was the big unit trying to fight back in the middle of the stand? What had he done?

pah.only real hoolies wear stone island

Football league show is going to put on extended highlights

Extended highlights on FLS tonight so we can see it all over again. Good times.

:D

That was a lad I know, got a call after he got out of Plumstead nick after the game. I think it involved a stewards hat from what I can gather!

Lovely. If only there wasn't some randomer staying in our front room I could watch it! Thank gooodness for iPlayer!

Wonderfully put.

My reaction to the teamsheet was colourful to say the least, but fair play to every single one of them, and DW. You could tell from the first 5 mins that they'd had an absolute rocket put up them. Everything that was missing on Sat was obvious in abundance. Spirit, tempo and desire, and tactically DW got it spot on.

The humble pie tastes good tonight!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Have we ever worn five different coloured socks in one season?

I found out the result after the game. Yesterday I decided town could fuck off. I wasn't gonna watch us, listen to us or take any interest whatsoever. This now means I have to see this game, somehow, and ensure I take no notice of our future away trips at all.

Wheres the links to the Charlton forums???

Haha Charlie really got to 'em!

Wow they are as pissed as us lot after Saturday.

I think they are spot on with Austin celebrating like that.......we fucking hate that in front of the Town End.

:D

Charlie has a knack of fucking off other fans doesn't he? I'm sure he seems to goad opposition fans on, on some level, in every game. I can see him in 2 or 3 years being one of those players that everyone, apart from the team he plays for, hating him.

I don't think he's far off that already, Barry.

Huddersfield fans don't like him after he celebrated at their place last season.

So long as he doesn't celebrate in front of us when he inevitably scores against us at some point in the future.

Most of the time it's the only appropriate moment that a player can retaliate to stick from the stands.

My question is did he do this at Poole? I hope so :)

Surely there has to be some opposition fans in the stands to wind up? :)

He did it at Yeovil away too and their fans were booing him and giving him stick the whole game :D

Didn't seem to affect him though

^ I think he likes getting stick. He must do, because he almost goes looking for it at times.


That's true. The one at Southampton was funny and the noises from their forum where he supposedly admitted to their fans he dived or something! (I could have just completely made that up.)

Why are they bitching about the offside goal (which was).  The first goal was offside and a handball!!

Just to quote you further back. From reading pages 6+ about the line-up and the pure vitriol from glos_robin (hardly unusual to be negative in his statements anyway) I'd say many will be sick of humble pie and will be avoiding the forum due to illness.

Parkinsonn booted out then !!!!

Indeed, Huddersfield fans book him, he scores cups his ears infront of the stand and some 14 year old wannabe chavs run down giving him the wanker sign - that how it went down, you can see it in the replays.

Huddersfield fans saw it a bit different. They were welcoming to him, gave him no stick, he scored then swore at the family stand and scarred all the kids for life. He's an evil man - he also told them all santa wasnt real.

I though he did a good job there, just 1 bad result last night and the blue touch paper has been lit.......BANG!

OK so they havent won for a while but still, hes not that bad.

Oh dear!!

I'm quite fortunate I wasn't online when the teams were announced or i'd probably have said something similar.

Great game last night.

Good to meet adje and some more of the London Reds in the Porter beforehand.

Great to see us pressuring Charlton on the ball, great to see some commitment, some good passing at times, and a referee that let the game flow (although how he did not see the handballs for the first goal was crazy!). We took our goals very well - just a shame three of them weren't at our end! Our defence were a lot stronger as well which was good to see.

Town fans were great yesterday. Apart from ten minutes after they scored, we pretty much sang from start to finish.

Show the same level of commitment, desire, passing and finishing and we'll start to move up the league. Yesterday proves that you only need to do the simple things well in football and you'll be effective.

Blimey!  That weren't half bad!

I'll take a slice please!  DW stuck his neck out and got away with it, fair play!

Still think AOB is a waste of a kit with the ball at his feet though, hopefully something else I will get proved wrong about!

Quality night. Obviously no as good as the play off semi but came a damn sight closer than most of us expected.

Think its been covered elsewhere but those stewards last night really were unbelievable. Did their best to ruin everyones enjoyment IMO.

Around this time last night I heard the team news on the radio heading out to watch the game and was shocked to hear that Cuthbert had been relegated to the bench and outstanded to hear that Alan O'Brien was starting.  It was the first time that I had really started to doubt Wilson.  I think the people who I watched the game with were left in no doubt at what I thought of Town's chances.

However I was absolutely delighted to eat my words as I witnessed a bloody good performance by Town, it has probably been said all before but I thought the pairing of Morrison and Frampton were immense.  I was even impressed by Timlin and Prutton.

Charlton were poor but it was great to see Town punish a team who were obviously under performing and we deserved the 3 points.  Pleased for Wilson and pleased for the fans who made the trip to The Valley who obviously had more faith than me.

The past couple of games against Bournemouth and Charlton have summed up this season perfectly.  Onwards to Oldham.

the guy :crash: was involved in 2 of our goals and still gets moaned at.

I'm pissed off there are no pics of Charlie doing 'the sprinkler' in front of the Charlton fans.

Prime desktop wallpaper material.

Stewards seem to bully the small followings now.

Big club's with big away followings get away with whatever they want, but if you only take 300, expect to be hassled.

Its yet another advantage of supporting a big club.

I can't think of any other advantages - what are they?

I want to know what it is he did? (Please tell me he pissed on the crowd.)

The sprinkler dance the cricketers did last week.  I hand behind the head, the other arm out in front moving round juddering like a lawn sprinkler going round.

Just seen the 10 minute long highlights on player. Much better than the extended highlights on the FLS last night.

Plymouth will rocket up to 12th if they beat Bristol Rovers, thus highlighting the importance of last nights win.

Ah, I see. I don't watch cricket.  8)

It's a new dance sensation. I can't believe there isn't a video of Ricky Shakes demonstrating it

i complained bout this and got this responce
Dear Mr Burrows

Thank you for your E mail.

These are the facts regarding the incidents in The Jimmy Seed Stand at last nights match. If, after reading this, you wish to take this complaint to 'higher authority', then please feel free to do so.

All 8 ejections were recorded on CCTV.
One of the persons ejected was arrested for a public order offence. That person had, in February 2010, only just finished a 3 year Football Banning Order.

A group of around 15 Swindon fans had been identified by CO 11 at 13.00 causing problems in Central London. Our local Police were notfiied and went to meet them. The group came to The Valley before the South Stand box office had opened. They then went to our West Stand box office and a confrontation took place with some Charlton fans.

Following this they went to the Antigalician public house and later attempted to enter the Conservative Club, where Charlton Athletic supporters meet. They were prevented from entering in the interests of public safety. When they arrived at The Valley, before entering they were given a warning by Police Officers about their behaviour. They were very rowdy.

Once inside the Jimmy Seed Stand they came to the front of the stand and seemed intent on making obscene gestures. I sent a security team to give them a warning and ask them to 'tone it down'. After issuing the warning, the security team started to walk away. I observed some of these youths continue to gesture, this time at our security team. I then instructed them to eject the worst perpetrator. I had hoped that this would act as a deterrent. However, some members of this group continued with their gestures. I then decided to eject one more from this group, at the opposite end of the row from the first one, this seemed to have the desired effect.

After about another 5 minutes had passed, I observed one member of the group leave the seating area and walk down to the pitch gate. He appeared to be remonstrating with the pitch gate steward.

I asked the South Stand Supervisor to investigate. She reported that the supporter was extremely drunk, but she persuaded him to return to his seat. He had been 'having a go' at the pitch gate steward regarding the ejections. Unfortunately, the man in question, although he had returned to his seat, just stood shouting to the pitch gate steward. A decision was taken to eject him. As our security team approached from pitch side, the man who was later arrested, stepped forward and physically tried to prevent our staff from getting to the drunk and abusive supporter. This resulted in our security team having to restrain this man and whilst escorting him up the aisle another man tried to prevent the ejection taking place and he also was ejected and handed over to Police Officers.

At half time, some of the remaining members of this group wanted to argue with the stewards regarding the ejections. Some of this group were drinking alcohol, though it is believed that they bought junior tickets. When one of our security stewards asked one of this group to see his ticket, the reply was 'fuck off you cunt, your all cunts'. Whilst this youth was ejected, another tried to intervene and was also ejected.

I believe that a bank holiday with a late kick off, gave this group of youngsters the opportunity to drink alcohol through out the day and this was a major factor in the poor behaviour of this small minority of visiting supporters.

All of the above incidents were recorded on CCTV and all ejections were observed by Police Officers who were extremely complimentary about the way our security stewards carried out their duties.

John Little
Safety Officer
Charlton Athletic Football Club

Brilliant, great to see the youth of today taking a bit of responsibility.  At least buy a fucking adult ticket you numpties.

There's never a winner with Stewards, as a couple of arguments have proved with me (DRS, you basatard ;-) ).  Don't go giving them a perfectly good reason to pick on you.

naughty crispy...

I wonder if there's a description available of this foul mouthed individual? Perhaps a distinctive jumper?

If they were that bad before then why the fuck were they allowed in?

Also what they did beforehand i.e. off the site of the stadium is irrelevant to the reasons why they were ejected. Though it turned out to probably be the reason they were picked on [going by the second-hand accounts on here, I wasn't at the game].

I'm sure most of the incidents occured in some format, but it's a very one sided account. I witnessed the hooha with the lad with the white jumper getting thrown out, and it certainly doesn't mention a steward winding him up by swearing at him and then legging it under advice from the coppers.

But to come in pissed on a child ticket - you may as well walk yourself out straight after kick off.  Even an innocent stumble up a step will see you escorted off the premises.

Not defending stewards, they are nearly all useless (one at Mk and one at Millwall aside).

Do the people in this 'group' not see the whole incedent as a waste of money? Granted stewards can be 'token' but surely follow the town for the football. If you want to flirt with the stewards and the police do it outside the ground for free....

Reminds me of the time years ago when I was working in a local night club. Group of girls came in with a couple of bags and said they were birthday presents for one of them, so the bouncers had a look and pulled out a birthday card that said "happy 16th birthday". On account of it making them laugh they still let them in.

I think that gives you an answer. They were targeted on the advice of Police for what happened outside the ground.

Obscene gesturing is something they dont bother following up with a big following.

My advice to any younguns is to get away with child tickets at away matches for as long as possible!

How long through the football league show are our highlights? I can't be fucked watching the whole thing.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/9338428.stm

Yeah I've watched that, Si Pie mentioned some extended highlights.

The extended highlights are on STFC Player on the club website i believe.

Ta.

I take it the group of lads spoke about are the ones in this video - the Swindon 'Under 5's'  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

http://www.youtube.com/v/SyWR4ElJcbc?fs=1&hl=en_GB

I want to know why they have coloured out their faces on the last image in the video (minute 1.46) - it's on the official website for all too see!

Fair play in the most part, they are passionate and travel to support, more than can be said for a lot of our fans.

Good bunch of lads.

To clear up the acusations, it wasn't any of them who went in on a junior ticket, only to my knowledge only 1, maybe 2 of them were kicked out.

I look like that after squash!!

Do you have to lay off the Ribena these days then?

I just had a quick look at their site and was amused to see a section entitled 'Legal Advice'  Advice if you're arrested and your legal rights!

One of the pictures within that pointless montage of people-standing-around-uninteresting-places is the very street in Plymouth where I once lived (no blue plaque just yet).

I like how they hid their faces on an image that has been used on the official website.

I love those blue plaques......on nearly every house in West London!

One is wearing a Man City top.

Mental

I don't really understand why a group of football fans feel the need to obscure their faces in pictures of them attending football matches.

What exactly are they frightened of?

[url width=640 height=480]http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/javaImages/78/1/0,,10341~9306488,00.jpg[/url]

That can't be true, all of the pictures in the video are their own.

To quote Dr. Andre Young

"...the motherfucking police."

Does one of them wear flares?

Why not? Did you know its illegal to drink on a train on the way to a football match? Have you ever done that? Would you be pissed off if you were arrested for that and received a 3 year banning order because you didnt know your rights?

Ok, I take your point.  It just came across to me as the people involved are thinking that there's a good chance they'll get arrested hence the obscuring of their faces as well.

1.24 into that video is a clip of the pub in Fulham last year. The lad on the table i'm sure posted a video on here of that day and him and his mates singing in there.

Gives Neighbour something to do....make him feel important!

Firstly - i am one who gets around with them, not trouble makers or go looking for trouble, just because they don't wear club colours and have a drink before the match makes them trouble makers does it? That reply letter has nothing to do with us/them.

Secondly - that video clearly a stupid idea whoever made it but i do not have a clue who did, but only 2 faces in that photo are 'that lot'

Also as suttonred said, they are go to away games even shitty ones like carlisle along with 200 town fans so i can't see the problem really apart from the numpty who amde the video

Are you the Wilson out facebook thread person?

No. I'm not a cunt

Are you saying you've never been pissed at a football match? How can stumbling on a step get you chucked out?

I don't think Rob would get away with a junior ticket, regardless of being intoxicated or not.

I think he was saying that he had, had stumbled on a step while under the influence and consequently been chucked out for being pissed.

The question should be, has RobertT ever been sober at a footbal match?

Then what the fuck are you doing posting on here?

Yeah....get with the program!!!!
