At least our opponents are FA Youth Cup quarter-final to be broadcasted in the UK and internationally on Thursday - News - Swindon Town (swindontownfc.co.uk)

Anyone would think they are reading this ... 

Did anyone else opt for Click & Collect but not yet had confirmation its available to collect?

Was hoping to be able to pick up at the game tomorrow

Naismith’s on the ball attributes are often lauded over but dickies are seriously not far behind along with exceptional, consistent defensive performances

I think what the past few weeks have demonstrated is that it’s no longer about our best 11, it’s about our best 17. 

I think that’s @Davefevs mantra and being proven weekly

Anyone hear that radio Bristol interview from Taylor? Was very f****** damning for the state of that club 

Tbh I don’t give a shite how good Bird and Murphy are we simply have to retain James and Williams 

Wedlock bar in the southstand and managed to get a free cheddar valley for my troubles of a roughly 10 minute spell of the staff not quite knowing how to handle the situation

I think he has a knock? 

I thought Nelson might get some minutes, maybe Manning feels he will benefit from 1st team training more?

Yeboah played for the 18s yesterday so I heard 

With that shambles at Reading heads should roll seriously. Worse communication than City and that’s putting it nicely 

For me it's playing your own style and letting that dictate the game rather than being reactive to how your opponent is set up and chooses to play. 

Essentially being on the front foot by having a distinct style which in our case is clearly possession based.

Likely not what it actually means but as others have stated its such a nothing statement that its so open to interpretation

Yeah, I understand the first part

But I am unsure how it is of use, and if it is what is it impacting?

Though I doubt many (if any) do this anyway

It is to inflate passenger numbers for the station to justify its operation and keep a reasonable number of services based on its 'footfall'. Which are greatly appreciated particularly when travelling from Somerset

What’s the untold story behind this?

Did Orme decide to leave on his own accord? Why - a promotion? Natural time for a change as NP has left?

Any hidden messages behind the restructuring?

Who’s in charge of warming players up now etc - is that Bonsu?

Going off of Dave Rennie’s post Orme is off to Swansea so likely left by his own accord

Well how is that for communication then!

I still think it was a penalty.  Because although some contact happened outside (and contact in itself is not a foul), the contact that tripped him was inside.  Therefore penalty.  The ref should then consider DOGSO.  Imho, if he decides it is is the box, then based on the rules I think it was a red card too, I thought it was an obvious goalscoring position.

As the ref gave the infringement outside, DOGSO does not apply (DOGSO only applies in the box, or for handballs) .  So ref shouldn’t have sent Bannan off as it wasn’t excessive force, etc, etc.

Ref got it wrong imho.

 

(I’ve learned a bit more about the rules I didn’t know previously)

DOGSO only in the box? that is mental I never knew that!

Sort of applies reverse double jeopardy in that case! Its either all (penalty & red card) or nothing!!

I’m going to hazard a guess this was at the entrance to Z2 in the lower tier? It started about 10mins before half time and carried on well into the second half with lots of fans being targeted and then all responding the same angry way.

There was one particular steward there who IMO caused it all, resulting in the unnecessary aggro. It could have been nipped in the bud immediately but the steward kept on and it got to the point where actual fighting broke out between fans and the stewards. 

The supervisor was called, and in fairness he was reasonable, but the damage had already been done and things were well out of control.

Not the greatest of experience for my 10yr old boy on his first away game. It all unfolded within touching distance of us, and when we tried to go for a quick wee at half-time I had to pull him away safely from the spilling over tussles and verbals. 

Lots of witnesses who I’d say would happily back your account, if it was the same steward/area. 
 

Edit: just reread your post and it would seem your incident was outside the ground coming in. So likely not the same steward. 

The steward I had an issue with was the same one who I saw involved in an altercation at half time

I personally had a major issue with a steward on Saturday. I have contacted qpr and asked them to check CCTV cameras and the incident. I've also sent a complaint to the metropolitan police.

Can any of you supporters Tell me Is it normal practice now for stewards to demand your wallet? And then to rifle through it. Because i've never seen that in attending football in this country and abroad for over  fifty five years.

And when with a fellow city fan witness, we went to a Metropolitan Police officer. His view was if I didn't like it. Don't go in, but after spending 100 pounds on a match ticket and train ticket. That wasn't an option. I have been to this ground many times but we'll never go again. Did anyone else have this experience with the stewards? Could they please let me know so I can inform queens park rangers, Reference my complaint..

Hi mate I had the exact same from I expect the same steward, with some very unfair & unsubstantiated allegation made by him as well. I was extremely angry with this on the day and was considering a complaint so am glad someone is

This is great news,,, but what exactly is the elite squad? Like a B team?

Formerly the Men's U20 Squad. So a very respectable call up. Well done Sammy

Imagine your chairman using abbreviating another team to City.

Also thought that but in fairness I think it is literally called "City Football Group"

Adam Nagy taken out of context - I think the quote was your hungry/Hungary players tbf.

I am on the fence with JL, from what I’ve seen he strikes me as someone who wants the best for the club, and has had to learn on the job, maybe now getting more savvy I hope. The only thing that came out of it of real interest for me was the 9/10 days given off after each international break, and a concern we were detraining. That’s quite a statement. 
 

More comms needed in the future, but hopefully this is the start.

FML been well and truly wooshed there! Thanks will edit my post ... 

I did also notice this and think it was super odd and unprofessional. Just a lad who was missing home wasn't he? 

EDIT:

Was more than likely just a pun on Hungary / Hungry ... woops.

Odd, isn’t it?

I would have thought a heavily edited, 2 minute, in house video where the questions sounded like they came from CBeebies would have made it really obvious?

Shocking that the bookies didn’t realise what they wanted from an inarticulate, bumbling fool.

Controlling the narrative yet still failing to control the narrative is an impressive skillset in fairness 

JL says he was surprised that the betting list and how far away it is from what they are looking it, followed by "That says to me we haven't got our message out there"

JS moves on to next question ... ffs that was a key opportunity for JL to be able to get his message out there and it is just glossed over.

This had potential but it is very frustrating 

Someone has to know a lip reader come on I was enjoying where that was going 

Section around training in a certain way definitely mirrors what was said on here RE extended breaks etc ...
