Barrow v Swindon Town Pre-match and Match day thread

[Super Hans]

Only positive from today is we get a few weeks break from watching H Smith walk round like he is Connor McGregor doing fuck all.

Maybe it clicks in his absence and we look back on this game as a turning point.

[Itainthalfhotmum]

Am I reading that right. Has he taken Sobawale off for tactical reasons then? Says only 2 injuries ( Clarke & Hall)

Apparently Sobowale wasn't doing as instructed so hauled him off. What about others who clearly weren't doing as told

Honestly it's probably the small things in life that wind me up more. I can't get my head around it

I can only imagine

[Ticker45]

I cannot remember a time when I have been so deflated about where STFC are headed. This afternoon’s performance was dire all over the place. Non too sure about the manager and his team setup.

[Super Hans]

You're welcome, if it resonates with you having read the forum for a long time and only starting to post due to the shit show this season, I think you're posts are generally quite good. I think we've all had enough of the downward movement and we're all getting itchy about it. No hard feelings

Cheers fella.

We all want the best for the club at the end of the day. Onwards and upwards.

[Steak supper]

Today was shit . There is worse to come next weekend.

[Itainthalfhotmum]

Ok, so a couple of concerns forwarded. I apologise for calling out cunts. We're all in the same boat we want the best for STFC but surely we needed harmony between fans. We're the life blood and will be here in years to come. Sorry it's frustration and there you go

[Legends-Lounge]

No but bored of hearing the same rhetoric, yes it's shit the Regine needs to change but not celebrating a last minute winner, why?

I understand all the points being made today. You all HAVE the same affliction. You all care about the club. Yes you do. Expressing that care however, is proving to be a challenge whilst the club, our club, is going through challenging times.

I spent an enjoyable afternoon in old town with the current Mrs LL, Spot of late lunch, visited my mum and brother at Christchurch, had a lavender and honey ice cream from a vendor there as they had some event on. Then a lovely walk around jubilee lake, coffee and a lovely piece of lemon drizzle cake. Tuning in and out of the radio comms. It says something when Hawse and the other commentator both felt sorry for Barrow! Sat on the drive listening to the last ten minutes and thinking to myself going to be a bit of a meltdown on the forum today. Bingo.

Got a message from an old business colleague who is a diehard Bluebirds fan. ‘I got offered 4/1 on your lot winning after their goalie got sent off. No brainier’ I had to apologise on behalf of the club for that little bit of a ‘no brainer’ turning out to be anything but. See our decline has far reaching implications, reverberating around the country.

What really pissed me off today is this. Aldi in RWB do not sell beef OXO cubes FFS.

I could have watched the game on telly but I couldn’t be bothered. Have an enjoyable rest of the weekend people. Just think in a weeks time you’ll all be at it again.

Let’s hope Fitton finds a buyer soon.


Still, at least we’ve got a club eh.

I’ll celebrate a winner - when we score one…

This place is great when the basics on and off the field are being done at a minimum, the posters here are generally forgiving if they can see that the club is trying to do the right thing. The fact is that we haven't seen that since the Wellens era (maybe Garner under the circumstances).  3 years of watching us slowly revert to acting like a NL club eventually wears people down.  For most on here League 2 in unnaceptable, let alone the bottom of League 2, so if you have joined the TEF now and expect posters to be all flowers and champagne after watching a game like that, then perhaps you have chosen the wrong platform.  And after such a short stint, coming on to call people cunts for not celebrating a goal, after that preceeding 100 minutes of football, is at the least short sighted, if not just plain stupid to expect anything other than the response you got.

Attendance was 3,763 no idea how many Town fans.

Not really, having followed for a long time and resisted posting, I have witnessed many people call others cunts regardless of time frame. Please don't tell me longevity gives you privilege.

And yes when things are good things on here are great. Cunt was harsh I appreciate and apologised for that, but we have a common goal and I go back to my initial point, why not celebrate a last minute equaliser? If you were sat in the stand would you not cheer the goal?

[adje]

Keep on clapping. Moron.

Why don't you do one with your personal insults?So I fucking cheered when we scored, that makes me a bona fide member of the Morfuni fan club does it? You will never find in any of my posts any defence of the ownership but that doesn't stop me celebrating my team of 68 years and my father's before me and his father's before him scoring.Where have I said it was a good performance? When I said it papered over the cracks maybe? Deluded is it to say results like that can kick start a season? Didn't say it definitely will. Said we were poor when we were a man up,so that's being a "happy clapper" is it?
