Scunthorpe v Swindon pre match chat and matchday thread

[Audrey]

I don’t think it was diving per se they were moaning about, more general shithousery to see the match out.

Or, game management, if you prefer the posh term. The sort of stuff every single team do.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I didn't see any diving by us at all, not like under Wellens where every players knew how to win free kicks.

All I did see is that Payne and Grant especially were given fouls under weak challenges, but thats a strong point of both their games, Twine needs to take note.

I do remember one occasion when Payne won a free kick and I said to Mrs Taylor that he'd played for it. But in no way shape or form did it equate to diving...

There was some sublime shithousery from the General on Saturday. He really got under the skin of some of their players.

One guy on twitter complaining about Swindon diving when the tweet he was replying to was a photo of their player already started his way to the floor before Jojo had even made contact to him.

Lovely irony.

I’m still not convinced it was a pen fir them. JoJo clearly changed the trajectory of the ball before their player was felled.

I thought the same jojo got the ball then the player

From the camera angle it was hard to tell but the ref had the same sort of angle so I am not susprised he gave it even though the ball did change trajectory a little in the clash so someone got a hand/foot to the ball, and going by the direction it seemed more likely a hand than a foot which would have meant it wasn't a penalty.

But the ref gave it and thats that really.

[Flashheart]

I'm glad now that he did give it.

Coming back from behind helps to build more cohesion as a team.

Loft was going down before JoJo made contact but it was stupid of him to rush at Loft like that when he's going away from goal. It kicked us into gear though and after that we battered them.

Grants shithousing was phenomenal on Saturday. Undoing the players laces while waiting for the penalty was my favourite. He really got under their skin, especially the no. 7 who lost his cool a bit.

I had no idea he did that...absolutely briliant

Undoing laces 😂 man I wish there was some footage of that

What was his yellow for?

We couldn't see anything wrong on iFollow it sort of came out of the blue, whether he said something to the ref maybe?

Definitely a penalty but no need to have given it away.
