indeed, I think this was my 42nd game of this season and it's up there with one of the most enjoyable, alongside Gillingham, Millwall away, Walsall away, Swansea home and Forest home.

I can't really be arsed to go to any more games at all this season. I think I've just got to the stage where I've had enough. It's been an eventful season with a rather tame end to it.

I'm not going to Donny, other than that I think I'll be at all the games. I just enjoy it still as a relative newbie to going to games.

Meh. Everyone has their different reasons/relative priorities. Me, it's what I do on a Saturday. Otherwise I'd have to spend time with my family  :shock:

On the subject of Malpas being in a 'no win' situation  (apart from today's win, but you know what I mean), as i was leaving the Arkells, the bloke alongside, with his young son, was moaning about Malpas substituting Cox thereby denying him a chance for a hat trick.

I pointed out, politely in the circumstances, that Cox had missed his best chance early on, to which the 10 year old (ish) piped up with "that's what I said to you Dad".  He shut up after that.

Good win, I'm very surprised but very pleased, must all be down to Malpas going to Dundee for two days and of course players who want/need a new contract for next season.
Form went completely out of the window yesterday - Swansea 1 Bournemouth 2, Brighton 2 Port Vale 3 and Swindon 3 Oldham 0.
No result is predictable at this stage in the season as yesterday showed.

Why did the Taylor ribbing start in the first place?

Really good light entertainment. Oldham played as though they didn't really give a toss and we played a damn sight better than of late.

Bloody M4 (coming into Swindon... f@cking 3 hours sat twiddling my thumbs and burning my fuel in Reading... of all places) threatened to ruin my day as I missed the first 20 mins despite leaving London at 10am, then turned up as the sky opened and got soaked running across the car park in the rush to collect my tickets and not miss any action, then took my seat as Coxy had his goal disallowed... could the day have got any worse? Short answer, nope! We notched soon after, went on to score two more crackers, kept a clean sheet and I enjoyed a great evening out with the fajitas piled high and the beer flowing! Nearly wrote the car off driving home in the snow today but that's a different story!

That was a fucking great crack. Thoroughly enjoyed the game for so many reasons. First half was a little tame and uneventful, but that second 45 minutes made me realise why I enjoy football so much, and even more so watching STFC.

The first ten minutes of the second half, I swear I was watching a Swindon team from about 15 years ago. The football was free flowing and it looked like we could tear apart any team in the world, let alone Oldham. I'm still not convinced about our back 5 though.

Brez's kicking was OK in the main, although he had a couple of wobbles in that department; commanded his area well though.

Smith and Vincent did OK, although both had their moments of concern. I still worry about Jerel, too many silly little mistakes which on another day may have been punished by a better team; he looks short of confidence, but hopefully the win and clean sheet yesterday will help. Aljofree was just a bit meh. But between them they kept a clean sheet.

McNamee was different gravy. First time I'd seen him play and I thought he looked out of place to start with. But he grew in confidence as the game went on and as balls got played to his feet, and second half he took the piss out of their fullback and sent in half a dozen or more top quality crosses. Definitely MOM despite Coxy's brace.

I'm still concerned with JPM - he's like an bankrupt man's David Beckham and IMO a luxury player - why oh why can he not run with a football at his feet? Some good touches and passes (and of course he wound Taylor up a treat), but I still ain't convinced. There's a good player in there waiting to come out I'm sure, but will he ever show it in a Swindon shirt?

Taylor was a classic big time charlie. Good player, but as soon as he started getting abuse, he tried to silence it by taking on the whole of our team, and it didn't work, which wound him up even more. Funny as fuck.

Oh, and don't plan a date with Fred Elliot. "I'll be 45 minutes" - 3 Hours later we still hadn't seen sight or sound of him. Git  Wink Rachel said you better make it up to her at the Port Vale game.......

Oh and Herthab, Rachel also asked if you could stop tickling her arse with your foot......
