Swindon Town (A) - FA Cup 3rd Round - Fri 7th Jan, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

New low for bbc barely 10 seconds' coverage of our game. Most pertinent thing the sports jock could say was " even though under strength, Manchester City should have enough to see off Swindon Town" or words to that effect.

Maybe ITV will shock us and have sensible commentary/punditry, but not holding my breath.

Good luck to the lads and Rudolpho.

Might not be able to mention our starting xi cost today !

The BBC seem to be pretending that the match is not on. Not a word on the Football home page.

This is probably down to it being on ITV?

Swindon is just about in my BBC region so the Beeb local news has been all over it - pretty much top story. The club talking-heads seem decent enough but no one was seriously suggesting an upset. Which almost certainly means a Halifaxing by us.

I guess we're not playing this evening, no mention of it on the BBC Sport website!

It will be there if we get beat

Noticed this. I think we're on a par with Shamrock Thistle. Unless we lose or draw of course.

Don't worry, there'll be someone in our squad that costs more than the Swindon team so that'll be the focus point tonight!
