A BIG WELL DONE

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

God you lot bore me. oh no big mean fans booing players,hardly fuckall said when we were singing his name at walsall i notice.

Are you pissed Don?

Just wondering

[deltaincline]

One of the main reasons I go to far more away games than home. You don't get many of the fuckwits going.

I may well 'up' my away attendances now, Sutton. Usually a much better atmos away, and people around you who know a bit about the game.

There was a twat in the DRS towards the TE who was lucky not to get mullered when Pericard got taken off. he was shouting all matter of shite and the bloke behind me went fucking mental at him as did a fair few around him.

Good to hear

[Lurker]

Some tool next to me today was giving him grief right from the off which needless to say is fucking ridiculous.

I think the problem with Pericard is that he does things for the team that those who don't really know anything about football can't appreciate. Due to his sheer presence upfront (and massive arse) he occupies defenders so can be a handful (or even assumed by defenders to be a potential problem) even when he doesn't look like he's putting a shift in - it's no coincidence that we play better IMO when he's in the team.

I personally think Wilson's got it spot on with how to rotate him and Dossevi. Start with Vince, get the oppositions defence preoccupied with what the assume will be his arial ability and strength, then bring on Thomas to give them the runaround towards the end of the game when they are looking tired.

One of the reasons I think we were able to not 'do a swindon' and give away a late goal today was Dossevi's work rate and hustle when he came on. He looked proper up for it (even in at halftime when he was sprinting all over the place) and didn't allow their centre backs time on the ball to pick a pass.

Anyway, first post from me fellas after visiting the forum for a while, but generally agree with most on here that regardless, booing one of your own is pretty disgraceful and shows up those that do it for a lack of intelligence generally.

Listening to the commentary, they didn't seem (for once) to put us under that much pressure late on. If you have some one like Dossevi running around up front like a silly cunt closing them down that will help massively.

Welcome Lurker, good post that. Sums up my thoughts better than I could.

We were playing a high-line at the back for the last 20 minutes or so which made a big difference. Usually, as you probably know, that's not been the case and we just kinda camp just outside the box.

Me Bennett and Whits were getting increasingly irritated by some chaps by us... I really think they were completely clueless. V-Unit doesn't deserve half the abuse he gets.

You must sit near me then. The twat was saying he knew more about football because he's played before!! what a cock.

Indeed not, and he certainly didn't deserve a rendition of 'cheerio', 'cheerio' from a significant part of the townend when he went off. Fickle cunts.

Indeed, as we did at the end of the first half after we had scored.

I wasn't very optomistic at half time, but we came out in the second half & had a go at them.
And even after we got the goal we didn't really sit back until very late on.

Good post Lurker, and congrats on some top quality lurking.

As I mentioned before I think Vince was poor today, yeah he occupies defenders - I just wished he would put more effort in. Just run track back once in a while fella, put a diving tackle in, rush to close down that defender!

Have I got a point? Or is it, like you and others have mentioned, that I simply dont know enough about football? (As a regular CG goer since 1979 I guess thats a no!!!!    )

Sure I moaned like fuck about him during the second half, but booing him as he walks off is still way out of order. I didnt do it to Marko Tuomela or Shaun Close so I aint going to do it to ol' Vinnie. (I did boo McMahon though, the twat)

[Lurker]

Cheers for the welcome guys.

Arch, of course you have a point mate, I'm a pretty young guy who's just moved back to Swindon from spending the last decade at uni and then in London where I probably wasn't as into Town (or football for that matter) so bow to your better judgement and experience.
The tail end of last season got me back into it after pretty long hiatus, so I guess could be perceived as a plastic, but definitely got the bug back now (to the extent that I went alone today!).

Sorry, I digress but back to Big Vince: I think in a way there are two separate points here.

The first being that VP is a limited player who's work rate (lack of) is incredibly frustrating. I think you'd be hard pushed to find someone (myself included) who disagrees with that.

The counter to that being that regardless of this he still manages to get us to play better, and to take some attention from opposition centre backs away from Charlie (that is, until they sus Vince out and realise he offers no real direct goal threat) so he can do the business.

Cunt

[Arch Stanton]

Well Lurker, you've got your first Cunt courtesy of Sippo , so now you're officially 'in'.

And trust me, I have no 'better judgement' - as my father mentions at every opportunity "Son, you don't know football from a pigs ass" 

Big Vince has been on the whole a good player this season, almost Allison-esque in his hold up play, but man he frustrates me. I hope he rams that booing down everyones throat when he scores a hatfull of goals from now on.

Providing he's not paralysed with fear everytime he gets the ball now.
