Swindon Town FC v Crewe Alexandra F.C Official Matchday Thread

[sonicyouth]

Sat in the left hand side of the Town End a few games ago. There are some right knobbers in there.

It's impossible to sit anywhere in the County Ground and not be sat near or subjected to the idiotic remarks of some mindless cretin. In fact, you don't even need to go to games - just go on Twitter or the Adver site.

Whilst this is true, there was a particular concentration of them.

What's the collective term for a group of eejits? A Dunce? Dumbening?

I think you'll find the collective term is CUNTS

[Abrahammer]

Sadly a sizeable proportion of our fan base enjoy being negative, moaning all game and offering no support to the team.  If we havent scored 2 with the first 5 mins they will start getting vocal, it's hard to avoid being near some of them.

Admitally i have no enthasuim at all for tonights game, my expectations are low (0-2 defeat) so on the plus side a draw will feel like i've watched us turn the corner.

[FormerlyPlymRed]

Not confident at all for this but think we might just sneak a win, it won't be pretty.

have some money on a draw/crewe win to cheer me up just in case

My dad and I found ourselves marooned amongst some of these on the far right hand side of the away end at Sheff U on Saturday. We need the idiots to start the chants and make the noise, and there is often some surprising wit on show from football fans.

Highlights included, "She said no Evans" sang at thousands of sheffield united supporters about a player who no longer plays for Sheff U as he is in prison. "Theres only one Maggie Thatcher" , "There's only one Danny Wilson", and my personal favourite, "Sheffield Wednesday, are/we're better than you".

I despair

All were a significant improvement to singing "4-4-2, 4-4-2, 4-4,2" during most of the game at Franchise though.

Every-thing's shit at the moment. The manager, the players, the fans, the board, everything is shit and I'm feeling equally as shit about it.

However when I step in to The County Ground tonight, I'm going to pretend that it's not for a bit. We're still in the play-offs by the skin of our teeth and I'm clinging on to the hope that we can somehow have a complete turn around, hit form by some kind of miracle and go up.

[chalkies_shorts]

I'm going tonight more out of duty than anything else. I think we'll lose and it will get pretty lary. I hope I'm wrong. One part of me just wants this season to end.

Same for both sides, and normally over Easter you generally play a couple days within a few days of each other.

[Flashheart]

Today's the day the it all clicks into place. Roberts plays a blinder and Williams gets a hat trick leading us to victory, the playoffs, promotion and world domination. Mwahahaa

[dogs]

Seeing how ineffective our strikers were on saturday, i'd be inclined to give Luke Rooney a chance upfront. He's a selfish sod, but that's not necessarily a bad thing when up top and he did play there at times for Gillinghams. Can't see us getting much out of another partnership of Collins/A Rooney or Williams, but we'd at least be a bit tricky with L Rooney and Williams.

[kaufman]

How's L Rooney been performing when coming on? listening to the away games his corners seem more dangerous and more seems to happen with him the moment the comes on.

We need to pick our best team and go from there. I don't think that includes Luke Rooney up top IMO.

He's been doing ok Kaufman, although a little greedy as dogs pointed out.
