Join Richard Blight on the Magic Roundabout - The Swindon Match Thread

Anyone want to talk football for a while? I know the pasoti meltdown is fascinating, as well as hugely entertaining, but we do have a game today. We win, we're safe. Swindon win, they're up. Ooh, it's a biggie.

Anyone for a 3-2 win, last minute winner after being hauled back from 2-0 up? Or am I just having one of my Marino Keith-based flashbacks?

I've never been to the County Ground since that young lad died all those years ago. At the time I was having a pint in a pub just a few hundred yards down the road so this fixture is always remembered with a hint of sadness.

Anyway, for the first time this season I feel a win for us today now that the pressure is starting to ease off!

I was there that day as well. Wasn't much older than him myself.

Was also there for the 3-2, first and last game with no alcohol whatsoever! Not quite the same atmosphere when you take 2 young children with you. Most exciting last 5 minutes of a game I've been to. Same again today would do nicely.

Andy, I think you are having a flshback!!

Reckon the best we'll get will be a draw, but that'll be good enough.

Can't see Swindon bottling this in front of their own fans......... 3 - 1 them.

Our fans don't want DiCanio. They'd much rather be bottom under fletch becuase he bleeds green.

Errrrrm y'know

I was at the 3-2 (marino last minute goal game) too. Fallon scored both Swindon's goal that day!

Swindon are a very good side, with players too good for this division. I'd be happy with a draw and a Macclesfield defeat.

I would love a draw, but Swindon are a good side and we won't be able to not lose against them.

I have seen a couple of 3-2 wins at the county ground over the years.Last visit was the midweek game last season when BWP scored with a header in the last minute for a 3-2 victory.Previous to that I was there in 1965 when again we won 3-2 against a side containing great Swindon legends such as Don Rodgers,Ernie Hunt,Roger Smart, Bobby Woodruff.Today Swindon may just have a bit too much in the locker for us to contend with.So 3-1 to the Robins.

It will surely be a backs to the wall performance...but...that's about the only thing we're good at so who knows. I'd be very disappointed if we got hammered.

This fan doesn't want di Canio because he's a self-proclaimed Fascist. It's bad enough that Salsa Verde indulged in the racist chanting earlier this season (with it being tacitly condoned by pasoti) without us employing a Manager whose political views make the Salsa knuckledraggers look like a bunch of bleeding-heart liberals.

Is he ? He does makeame laugh though !

He's been in trouble for giving the fascist salute at Roma games, but he's quite open about it and insists there's nothing wrong with it.

Di Canio has told his team to concentrate and forget about celebrating promotion as we won't be pushovers.

Still makes me laugh after all this time. Ref should've been booked for diving.

So??...who gives a f*ck?!!

The bloke oozes charisma, character and quality football. Unlike "dull as dishwater"

Id have him down here in a nano second

There is nothing wrong with it, its an old roman salute i believe, hardly surprising given that he is an italian
Anyway lets not bring politics into football ....like they do on Pasoti

Glad Chadwick's not playing. Sounded likes he's been a bit tired lately, bless him.

Chadwick is shizen.

The new boy effect has worn off and now he couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo

Started well enough. can't make chat work properly on me phone

Sounds like we are getting battered

Swindon have 82 per cent posession compared to our 18.......OUCH!
