It was nice to get an unlikely point . but it's hardly worth over the top celebrations.
I’m guessing my celebrations were over the top, couldn’t care less if you agree or not. A well deserved point against a team I do not like, achieved at the death with 10 men. Yes, I’ll take that.

We celebrated vigorously too - as we were pleased with a point give the circumstances and timing - credit to the players who really dug in and ran themselves into the ground, stayed in the game and took the late chance to equalise. Hall’s challenge was ridiculous- from our position in the Arkells we called it as a red immediately. For once, the subs made sense today - it was clear we needed to bring on a 3rd CB after they scored, as the players weren’t comfortable with two. To do that we had to sacrifice either McGregor, Cox or Butterworth. Longelo / Minturn for Cox / Drinan - Minturn going to CB enabled Sobowale to push forward on the right, Drinan had been playing wing back when Gills had the ball and had put in a huge shift getting forward as well, and Cox still seems to be only able to do about an hour, similarly Cotterill for Clarke when he came on while Tshimanga for Butterworth gave us a bit extra up front to try to get a point in the last 20 mins. Bycroft’s save in the 1st half was very important as I didn’t think we could come back from 2-0 down with 10 v 11.
Holloway was moving around the seats at the front of the Arkells and giving instructions from time to time. I’d expected him to sit in the director’s box.
Some good performances in the circumstances - MOM Wright

We're fighting for our FL lives...every point gained should be celebrated like we've just won the FA Cup...and that's not even considering the context of having been a man down for 80+ minutes and equalising in the 93rd minute in the new manager's first game...yes there's a long way to go and lots of room for improvement but that was a fantastic point which should be celebrated and savoured...onwards and upwards!

I thought we were the better side today and thoroughly deserved our point. I celebrated our goal with much gusto.
I had Sobowale as MOM.
Drinan put a proper shift in today and got rightly narked at times as he kept making good runs into space but wasn’t seen.
Freckles had quite a good game also. He made one or two very good long diagonal passes which found their target nicely.

His performance data has drastically improved, since he stopped shagging Kennedy's imaginary daughter

Strange one yesterday. Decent start, but then thanks to one one brain dead decision I didn’t really enjoy very much of it after that. The more times I’ve seen the challenge the worse it gets. What was the point? There was no threat and the ‘tackle’ was wild.
Gills then had their best patch, scored and nearly a second. 2nd half you could say we looked the better, but they were happy for us to have the ball. I can see why as well cause their goal was all our own making!
I loved the ending obviously and Swindon definitely deserved the draw. One man has properly let the team down though. Gills had no confidence either and 11v11 we should be winning that.
Simultaneously feel buoyed by the last minute goal, and angry at red (and just about everything off the pitch).

Reading the Jills forum is much like reading our forum after we had capitulated in games.
Its nice to have the boot on the other foot for a change.
What was the issue with the Gills James Russell their fitness coach and his getting very very angry at the end of the game with Gunning involved too?

Honestly, I do feel sorry for anyone who didn't celebrate that goal. No one's saying it's the end of the trouble but,come on against 10 for 82 minutes, you have to be cold not to go mental for a few minutes at least
Even I celebrated it (when I'd seen we'd scored, didn't watch) End of the day no matter what is happening off the pitch, every point is massive now. The threat of relegation is very very real. That was a MASSIVE point. Especially as Carlisle, Morecombe and Colchester all lost. Its at that stage now where i'm checking the teams around us scores. Its fucking scary.

me too but if the cunts can try and not give the next owners a non league side to start with, that is about the most I can hope for from them at this point.
