Seems as though theres soapy balls as well as footballs that nobody can control at the CG.
We pay the money and we watch the football and WE will decide what WE think is wrong!
I dont like what is going on certainly, but all this posturing and kicking people when they are quite clearly down is not helping one iota |

Well, yes, but it's a little bit like when someone has a go at him during games and he has a go back. He may well be "entitled" to do it, but it doesn't really help does it? And nor does this IMO - it's not going to stop any of the boo-boys having a pop at Malpas or Aljofree, if anything it will just inflame some of those who want Malpas out to join in having a go at Aljofree. If he really wanted to calm the situation, something along the lines of "Fans having a go at players obviously doesn't help, but as players we must also recognise us having a go back isn't exactly the brightest way of dealing with it either. So I'm sorry I offered that old guy out at Stockport, and I'll try and concentrate on setting an example on the pitch in future" might have been more useful.

On the whole i agree with what he said but the following?
"But at the end of the day Swindon Town are in League One for a reason, because of what's happened in the past.
Explain to me what the fuck has that got to do with losing the last 4 games at home

I think the bloke has shown himself up as a bit of a twat to be honest....
At MK Ding Dongs a small section of away fans had a dig at him for a shit clearance - he was straight at it with hand gestures etc...
At Stockport he offered the fella out coz he was getting some stick...
He is meant to be the captain for fucks sake and set an example....
I hear him saying this in the press, and having a pop at supporters whilst on the pitch - but I don't hear him acting like a captain and organising the troops - and getting them going....
He should shut up in the press - and actually start walking the walk on the pitch !
While I didn't boo on Sunday - i can absolutely understand the calls for MM to go - all the absolute shite football that we keep serving up at home is enough to annoy ANY fan into shouting - they get paid a bloody good wedge, and we pay our money to watch it.
I am never in favour of booing for the sake of it - but FFS something had to be said on Sunday !!!

I did boo at the final whistle but i do not boo players while they are playing......i must admit i did shout "What the fxxk are you doing?" at MK Dongs at him.
Coming out and saying all that guff is not helping.
We dont pay £20 a pop to turn up and boo for fucks sake!! We want some passion and commitment and maybe a bit of skill as a bonus, i dont even insist on winning!!!
That shit on Saturday is not good enough by a long chalk.
Stop talking to the press!
Stop yapping back at the fans!
Roll up your sleeves.
Organise your team.
Earn your money and our respect......
PERIOD.

He's got a fantastic point in all fairness.

You can see the next home game if we dont do well. people will get on Aljofree's back and then he will have a go at the fans in the Town End and a pretty big row may errupt.
"But at the end of the day Swindon Town are in League One for a reason, because of what's happened in the past.
Yes well done Hasney, Fair enough but what releveance does that have to this season?

I think he might be pointing out that expectations may be a little high.

The point is he should have said nothing at all whether he has a point or not is a matter of opinion but surely he would have been better advised to not comment at all because all he is doing is further alienating himself with certain elements of our support(I hasten to add I am not one of those who boo him).

Oh yeah, definitely. Whether he's right or not, it's not very good in terms of fan-player diplomacy.
Still, it kicking off is exciting.
