Thought the ref had a good game today, but can I ask our refereeing colleagues on here how, when their defender and goalkeeper receive attention, the defender is allowed to carry on playing without having to leave the pitch before rejoining? Small point, but worthy of the question IMHO. Yes a strange occurrence Funky. Personally I feel that the majority of linesman have no input whatsoever through the earpieces and are just going through the motions until it's payday IMHO. |

I thought it was a poor game, brilliant save by our keeper, that's about it. 3 very welcome points.

I don't think either 'team' were particularly good today, although it was entertaining. I don't think that having Robbie, Naylor and Butcher in the middle worked today. Perhaps replace one of those 3 with Akins on the wing and push Duffy up behind Beavon (that is Duffy's best position and where he ended the game). I think Duffy was good for the first 15 minutes. I thought Nasser was good for a lot longer than that, yet he took a bit of stick from a couple of 'fans' near me but neither said anything bad about Duffy during the match. You have to watch the game, Nasser takes the ball into the box and tries to beat a player, then he is double and triple teamed. There is no point in shooting with 3 players in front of you, you have beat them or pass to a player who has made space. Nasser is our top goal scorer, you don't take him off unless he is injured or very poor and he wasn't either. The first sub should have been Akins for Duffy. But perhaps Nigel is trying to keep Duffy keen to stay so he left him on for the whole match despite him being perhaps our worst player on the day. Jono was magnificent. I agree about subbing Nasser - he is always the most likely to nick a goal, so would always leave him on at 0-0. I wouldn't agree about Duffy however, he may not have been at his best but didn't feel he was our worst player. |

The only thing I could think of was that the defender must have been already off the pitch (in the goal) when the whistle blew for treatment. |

We had a man who knows standing with us, he said the ball was dead and he was off the pitch too, no need for him to go off then on again. |

A discussion on Facebook, which you probably can't see has shown that that there are exceptions to the 'leave the field law'. Those being if a goalkeeper and an outfielder collide and need treatment, they can stay on and if two players of the same team collide and require treatment they can stay on? Bizarre IMHO Attachments:

He was definitely not off the pitch by the way, was sat in the 6 yard box.

Yeah, the keeper was on the pitch and the defender was in the goal when the two trainers came out. The question is when did the whistle blow. If he didn't have to go off then he must have been in the goal when the ref blew. |

I didn't particularly enjoy this game for some reason! Perhaps it was because I felt we were under the kosh for quite long spells and not pressing hard. McLaughlins save was incredible and the best I've seen live. They should have played the music....! Premier league standard goalkeeping. We should have buried one in the first 10 minutes. Not sure why we stopped playing that nice football for the remaining 35 of the half. Penalty was well deserved through Beavons hard work. Beavon and 34 were having a right old tussle and I'm surprised both were on the pitch at the final whistle...! Having said this, we won, and kept a clean sheet. Joint TOTT with Walsall - some big games coming up! Half way there  |

A great game of football in front of nearly 5000. Cloughie has changed something ? As with the Donny game the opposition went at us leaving us open at the back. Likewise we seemed more creative going forward and also looked far more dangerous.

Swindon Town manager Martin Ling knows there is plenty of work to do after double defeat over Christmas Swindon Advertiser: Photograph of the Author Harry Abbott, Sports reporter / 5 hours ago / STFC MARTIN Ling says Swindon Town’s sticky Christmas spell shows there is still plenty of work to do in his recovery job. Ling started his tenure at the County Ground with five wins from his first six League One fixtures but games against two of the top three in Gillingham and Burton Albion were always going to provide a more definitive reflection of Town’s revival. So it proved as a 1-0 loss at Burton yesterday followed the 3-1 home defeat to the Gills on Boxing Day. Although Ling feels his side’s current position of 16th in the table is a tad harsh, thoughts of Town sustaining their charge up the league were always likely to be premature. “I see Swindon Town as better than where we are in the league but not quite ready to be up there with the top boys,” Ling told the local media. “I feel we are competitive in every game now. We go into every game knowing that if we put our best foot forward we have got a good chance of winning it. “There’s been periods of both the Gillingham game and today where I felt we could cope and are more than capable of coping. “I didn’t get carried away but there were an awful lot of wins consecutively and people started to look upwards. “We know where we are. I came into a difficult situation, we’ve steadied the ship and got some results but we need to kick on again.” Town were only beaten by a penalty 13 minutes from time against the Brewers as substitute Lucas Akins capitalised after Jordan Turnbull had felled Stuart Beavon. Ling says the extra game in Town’s legs was a big factor in the result, with Burton having seen their Boxing Day fixture postponed. “I thought the performance was good, especially first half. We came here against a team near the top of the table and obviously a bit fresher than us with not playing their game on Boxing Day,” said Ling. “They are going to have their purple patch and I think you have got to put it down to the fact that we have played on Boxing Day against the fact that they haven’t. There is always going to be more in their legs. “To come here is a difficult task at the best of times but to come here off the back of playing that game on Boxing Day and them not playing makes it a real big task. “We were in the game all the way through and players can do two games in three games but if both sets of players do it, it’s a bit fairer.” www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/swindon_town_2014/14170513.Ling_knows_there_plenty_still_to_do/? |

From the swindon News papers also… perhaps not so much about the game, but he is certainly one of the Swindon players that you would have noticed, I thought there was a possibility that he should have got a second red or at the the very least THE warning from the ref that if he persisted he would get one… not impressed..

Swindon Town loan
Photo: Swindon Town official website
Swindon Town chairman Lee Power has confirmed that an agreement has been reached over the loan extension of Egypt defender Adam El-Abd.
Egyptian central defender Adam El-Abd has been contributing well with Swindon Town; proving his worth since joining from Bristol City on an emergency loan in October. The Brighton & Hove Albion club legend impressed both Martin Ling, the club’s manager, and Lee Power, the club’s chairman, during his loan spell thus far.
Both the manager and the chairman are keen to extend the player’s loan with the club until the end of the season, after the performances of the 31-year-old Egyptian with the team, who has started in every League One game since his arrival.
In an interview with BBC Wiltshire, Lee Power said: “We have agreed with Bristol City to take him on loan for the rest of the season.”
“There is a verbal agreement and we have been on direct contact with them over the loan deal, however; it is only a matter of time to fulfill the paperwork,” he continued.
He also praised the Egyptian central defender, “Adam has been a great player for us this season.”
“We are sure about the players that we needed to have conversations with them, in order to let them know of our future plans. And these players are Louis Thompson, Ben Gladwin and Adam El-Abd, hopefully things go according to the plan and we see these players here till the end of the season,” he concluded.

If McLaughlin doesn't pull off either of those wonder saves and we don't get a penalty he'd have been saying "you couldn't tell which team had played two games in three days out there today". Less of the excuses, Martin. If your captain hadn't have been concentrating on winding Beavon up instead of doing his job and if your keeper wasn't taking 5 minutes to take all his kicks then you might have got a result yesterday.

I enjoyed the game, but in my opinion we were not defending with our proper pressing game. In midfield we allowed too much room for them to play in within our half. The main reason was that Butcher was afraid to press near the half way line, and backed off too much, he then allowed them space to create dangerous attacks. I like him, and think he is a good player, but he seemed to be unsure and became continually caught in no man's land, when we were under pressure. It came as no surprise when he was subbed.

I agree claymillman to an extent. It seems both Naylor and Butcher are getting much further forward leaving us a bit short in midfield but at the same time getting up into their box a lot more and a lot quicker. Two great games recently which we could easily have lost.

I had to laugh when McLaughlin took a goal kick towards the end and the Swindon lot were counting down as if he was time wasting. Even funnier when he beat their count... I completely agree with you Spence, bottom line is compare what a footballer does to a male professional tennis player in a tournament who is every other day potentially churning out a combination of 3,4 or 5 sets on a one to one basis. I don't know if you ever watched the old Sky camera angles of following a player throughout a match but to me it is no wonder Sky dropped the idea, some work harder than others. Yes there are players such as Stuart Beavan in particular (I wouldn't like his bones in old age) who run themselves into the ground a la Darren Stride every game but honestly! These are professional sportsmen and if they are not up to it half way through the season then heaven help them! By the way whenever I see SB play i always think of the toy Stretch Armstrong- his ability to 'just get there' against seemingly impossible odds constantly amazes me- if the save stopped us loosing the match, then SB's commitment won us it. I just loved his reaction to the awarding of the penalty. Going back to the origin point though, and to give Ling some credit, what he said just might have been a direct answer to a formulaic question by a journalist about the Christmas fixture congestion, rather than a rather tired excuse given without prompting. He has never been a winging manager and so I would go for that excuse. |
