btw you're a Liverpool fan as well iirc

No, no I'm not.

there are also rumours emerging that swindon could be in financial difficulties once again. i suspect di canio and his new signings are largely the reason for that.

He does have an extraordinary number of nice looking suits.

Not that I'm in the country but, since Di Canio's arrival do the trains to Swindon run on time?

Ed - any idea what's going on at Swindon. Youth team told cannot give out any scholarships for this year. All u16 players now free agents. Future of youth team in doubt? Thought di Cannio was building from the bottom?? Heard anything?

{Ed001's Note - this is something that could happen more and more, the long term returns from the youth team just aren't there any more. Not only is there the issue of losing them on a free, the problem of selling them when the transfer windows are so short and the issue of finances being tight so no one is paying big fees. All in all there are a number of clubs looking to scrap their youth policy and instead concentrate on scouting the local non-league clubs in the area, I believe Swindon are one of those. I am not sure how it will work in the long term, but I guess we will just have to wait and see.}

Massive V sign to the FA and Prem clubs if loads of clubs start doing this.

Daylight robbery at the County Ground today. Cheltenham missed a penalty, then Swindon scored before Cheltenham spent the rest of the game utterly murdering them.

Paolo di Canio is a graceless, charmless tosser. Charging towards the away end pumping your fist after you've just scraped a victory against a small team in division 4, is a bit tragic in my view.

All very reasonable until 2.30, then he makes a total bellend of himself. The fist pumping is directed straight at the away fans.
