...and following on from that. Despite the traffic, what a great night.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

Peak Paolo. Caddis, Ferry, Ritchie et al in their pomp. We were playing such good football.

Good shout. Benson was about 100 miles offside

I thought it might be nice to have a thread where people post their favourite moments from games or great memories, just to remind us why we are all here!
I'll start with this Mark Walters goal. I practiced emulating the Cruyff turn and left foot curler again and again for months after this! A loss in the game but a full house in the Championship and one of the best Swindon goals I've seen.
Walters was class in a glass wasn't he? What a player.

The police were called out on me for this one - was watching with my brother in his corner house and celebrated a little loudly, about 10 minutes later the policeman knocked the door to check everything was OK. Ignore me, I was thinking the away leg

I always attribute this game to the one that good me hooked good and proper to Swindon Town FC.
Rory Fallon overhead kick against Bristol City, are you kidding me?
Felt like the roof was about to come off when that went in.
I was right behind this in the town end. It looked like it was going over until it got within about a yard or two of the goal and the had a wicked dip. Ran straight to the front and went mental.

The first couple of minutes of this were amazing, probably the best start i've ever seen.

Who could forget these 2 belters from Steve Robinson. Nothing better than standing in the Cuckoo Lane watching them hit the net
No disrespect to Turbo but proves how important local derbies are in this country. An average/non spectacular player can write his name in a clubs history. Same with Tom Broadbent who pops back and gets many free pints around town on match day. Just brilliant.

The manager pelting down the wing makes for a good memory.
Great away kit that. I was in the side stand and one of the main lads that ended up on the pitch actually ran from the side. Some effort.

Never been as depressed at half time as this in all my life I think. Just didn't see a way back.

Proper lower league side this. No tippy tappy shite and yet not a set of bully boys. Somewhat direct while still being good passing. Something recent Swindon teams seem to have thought cannot be the case. Its either been 84 million passes around the back or we're "not playing the right way"
