Swindon Town v Franchise pre match drivel and matchday thread

[McGurk's Missus]

Shocked that Gunning’s “all or nothing” style doesn’t work over a period of longer than 2 caretaker matches

Yeah but DV still has his tissues and lotion out for Gunning*







*Chill, it's a fucking joke

I believed this for a second till I got to Khan.  

Hairdryer on high, except for McKirdy who apparently left after the whistle.

There's no point talking about the performance as it was before. MKDonalds did seem to depreciate through the game but they had a +2 handicap. That second half was not elite professional standard from all players and officials.

I want to talk about the rapidly deteriorating pitch. Under Marcus Cassidy and team we never managed to put the pitch in this kind of state. For all the hustling and illegal shite Lausanne Lee did, he never allowed the playing surface to get to the levels of a municipal park - which is also detrimental to municipal parks! Has Clem been paying the current people? Or has he been offering free sponsorship in lieu of not being able to afford to pay a proper contract?

I think if it's either, you get a diminished quality or a less motivated ground management. Most definitely if they haven't been paid.

I also can't believe that Marcus Cassidy was the only key or had some incredible talent in maintaining a rectangle of grass; well not talent excessively beyond that of people in the same professional industry. Which is why I ask if maybe the current crop {no pun} have not been getting paid? It's not the conditions because the aforementioned Cassidy and Co never had the pitch looking this poor - that probably has around 20 years to back up as well.

Pitch has gone from being awarded ''Best Playing surface in League One'' to ''Today we'll be playing on the Rec Soc AFTER the Rugby'' 

Its obviously not on Clems priority list😁

He wanted to watch the Chelsea Man City game!

Imagine if he does come out with something similar though

Just listening to the Supermarine CEO on Wilshire Radio. He sounds as if he is giving the same spiel as our 'plumber's mate' but with a bit of class.

Still my preference over our last 5 managers tbh.

Needs some additions to his back room staff if he’s gonna be the gaffer long term.

[Freeloader]

Well that was shit, game over after 10 mins. The club stealing gobshites didn't even want a footy discussion after.  Shame.

Dongs settled for two, could have had more on the break in the second half.  Relieved it wasn't completely out of sight with half an hour to go.

I pictured him walking off, still in his kit, with a hoodie over the top, wearing a pair of trainers and carrying his boots in a Tescos bag.

We could probably put that argument forward for several managers under Clem. I don't think it's going to happen though. False promises and all that.

Sorry about the tissues comment 

[Jimmy Quinn]

We should be angrier but seems there’s an air of acceptance

Not sure what happened to the original and not sure how JQ managed to comment on it but repost...

People actually clapped the players off today 😂😂😂😂😂

Absolutely abysmal performance

The new Robin Friday!

I'm a bit embarrassed really, the usual banter with the away fans went out the window. I should be past this shit, but these cunts wind me up as they are a nothing club who have done fuck all in their 20 year history.  Even the twat who offered me out was being apologetic at the end. Pussy.
