1960maaan Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Not just a sending off, but a penalty for a foul and the player that did it was their striker. Not sure how he got there, they missed the Pen . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be some sort of record? Stockport missed the resultant penalty and Swindon went up the other end and claimed for one for them. Their player was booked for diving. So one red and one yellow in the first couple of minutes. Stockport won 1-0 in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Jody Morris isn’t exactly pulling up any trees there, won just 2 of the 10 games he’s been in charge. Not been the greatest of loans for Kadji, got on with 6 minutes to go today & has had similar very late sub appearances for them recently.

Edgy Red Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 I was at this game today with a Swindon supporting mate. The early red card ruined it as a contest (although it was probably correct) and Swindon hardly managed to create anything with 10 men. Charlie Austin was subbed off at half time. Kadji came on for the last 15 minutes and tried to get on the ball, but it was a difficult game for Swindon throughout. A special mention for Swindon's right wing back Romeo Hutton tho. I'm not sure he is someone we need, but he always impresses me and could definitely move up a level or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Karma. I will never forget that game with Wade Elliott being sent off in the first minute and everything that went on thereafter, the sense of injustice, the wild home celebrations like they've won the league, swindle players celebrating in front of the away fans - pretty inciteful, that cock chairman of there's, that odious captain giving it large who bottled out of the return match. Yes; you could say my general dislike of them grew to new levels that night. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 The return match definitely was payback. The look on Cotts face when Wilbs slammed in the third summed it all up for all of us. To be fair they had a decent team just a shame they spoilt it by all of the shenanigans that went on. Flint must've been black and blue that night the amount of times he was assaulted in their penalty area. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great times I was in the Atyeo with the Swindon fans the other side of the barrier. It was great fun - I think most of us were stood up all night and, for the first time in many, many years, I found myself giving it large to them!

Even an hour before the game in the stands and concourse you could feel there was quite a toxic atmosphere in the air.

Absolute gobshites on and off the pitch An hour before the game I was in the home dressing room…Joe was one of the mascots. It was a brilliant night for lots of reasons. Swindon started really strongly, Frankie made a couple of big saves early on, but the Agard goal rocked them, and it was all us after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute gobshites on and off the pitch Absolutely & the footage of the way Cotts celebrated the Wilbraham goal with a clenched fist & “******* have some of that” is what he’s clearly saying, shows what it meant to him & those players, too. People will forget but Swindon actually started the game well but we had absolutely battered them by the final whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
