Maybe he’s behind Anderson and Olowu in the pecking order.?

Good spell this, could do with testing the keeper a bit more.

Too many balls in the box from Swindon. They're going to get on the end of one of them.

Red card for Rowe

Rowe off, only hope for points here seems to be if Swindon don't score.

Unsurprisingly the Ref is useless, books players for next to nothing then fails to give a second yellow to a Swindon player, now Rowe is off straight red

Terrible referee.

Need a formation change now, sit in and hit them on the break.

I predict it'll be 10 vs 10 pretty quickly.

Your not kidding , booked 24 players and sent 1 off in 3 and half games this season.

Ref is abysmal. Wont blame him for our performance though we are poor in passing and pace.

Anderson for Ironside and push Bailey into midfield. Forget the win and lets just get a clean sheet in the bag.

Thought we stepped forward again there, played quite well.  Ref has made some very very weird decisions. The booking for kicking the ball away a millisecond after the whistle was stupid and I didn't get the yellow for ironside at all.

Thought it was a yellow for Rowe to be honest. He didn't know the guy was there.

I guess that red card last season on Rowe in the Stockport game last year has come back around.

if you don’t think that was a red you need to look up the laws again straight high leg in the chest is dangerous whether there is much contact or not

Maybe in a challenge, but not when he’s just trying to bring the ball down. He didn’t even know the bloke was there.

Even if it wasn't a red it was a yellow and he would of been off anyway

Ironside is vastly improved from the very start of the season. He’s been excellent in this second half to take some pressure off our defence.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Swindon

Game as we know it getting ruined by some of these new rule introductions and the over zealous interpretation by some inexperienced refs.

Well, having read the STFC forum we’re not imagining this ‘performance’ by the referee. They’re as bemused and baffled as we are.

Not sure what is going on, has Charlie Austin been sent off? According to Sky he was booked at 34 and 73 minutes. The referee is a tosser, and possibly extremely incompetent.

This was a really good game, until the ref made it all about him.  Not been a bad tackle in the game.

Not good enough to win even with 11 men, once Rowe was gone then it was a matter of getting what they could from the game, that's 6 matches 2 points. Relegation battlers at the moment.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Swindon
Post by: ScillyRover on September 02, 2023, 04:57:24 pm
Very frustrating game to watch. We just haven’t got that extra bit of enterprise up front to secure a win at the moment.

That’s such a negative viewpoint. We played 50 minutes with 10 men and restricted them to any decent chances which is a vast improvement defensively on where we were. Some very good individual displays in there Ironside Westbrooke and Bailey the pick for me. With 11 I think we could have taken all 3 today

You don’t know that we could have grown in to it. We had chances with 10 men. They become stonewall chances with someone to pass to.

Rubbish.

We were the better team 11v11 and despite the inevitable pressure we still looked decent second half.  The ref completely spoilt the whole game but we definitely aren't a rubbish side and we're starting to look a team.

That’s utter nonsense
We created the better chances in the game, playing against one of the best sides in the league.
The last 3 games have been excellent performances,

I do wonder what people expect, we’ve just played almost an hour with ten men and we’re the better side against a team in great form

Post by: glosterred on September 02, 2023, 05:35:15 pm
That was a battling point today and a deserved point for the work the team put in. The game wasn't helped by poor refereeing and a poor lino on the west stand side.  The performance in the last two home games, Everton and today, have shown what this team can do.

Onwards and upwards

Brilliant performance again considering we only had 10 men for 50mins. You couldn't really tell who were down to 10. Great defending against a team scoring goals for fun this season. Can't be long before we start moving up the table!

My love for this club hasn't and will never die but I think I'm falling in love with the team again after the last 3 games. Onwards and upwards I genuinely believe we're building towards something special if we're patient enough. Maybe next season if not this but it'll come.

Thats that then. Lets get our mortgages on Swindon for a top 7 finish. The comment is pure speculation at this point. Maybe thats also a fact? I dunno.
