How arrogant can some folk get? This reaches rag levels.

You clearly weren’t involved in the crush. You’d probably have a different opinion if you had been there

Why would you even go to a tin pot club that has 15,000 for the first time in years if you've got covid concerns?? Wtf!!

On behalf of the amateur tinpot club, please don't bother coming again, should the situation arise. For all the other nice comments, thanks.

Well done Swindon. Game played in the right spirit and that was down to you. Football in the South West is rubbished but the teams that City have played here have always played in the right way. I remember two brilliant matches in the League Cup semifinal against Bristol City and that great little Bristol City ball boy who was made guest of honour at the Etihad for the second leg.
Well done Swindon. Good luck for the rest of the season.

I thought Matterface was the north face of a mountain on the Swiss-Italian border?

Only when he's on duty for the red shirt mafia teams does he turn into the Matterhorn.

Decent game and result. Swindon played honest and it gives the neutrals an entertaining 90 minutes

If you were that bothered by what you might have experienced, then maybe you should've stayed at home.... Do you really expect social distancing at a football match????

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Was anybody stuck in that crush outside the away turnstiles 15 minutes before kick off?

completely shambolic organisation by an amateur tin pot club and a total dereliction of duty by a disgraceful police force who stood by watching not giving a fuck

could have got dangerous but instead a few hundred blues missed the first 20 minutes and probably all caught covid

A very United like comment that, let’s not forget were we came from.

Palmer reminds me of Waddle in some things he does

Turning up 20 minutes prior to kick off doesn't help.

If you are concerned about covid then get to the stadium early enough not be involved in any crush, its not that difficult.

No you definitely weren’t there. Social distancing is a bit tricky when there’s hundreds of fans practically climbing over each other shouting and yelling at the stewards and police who stood by doing nothing. All caused by incompetence and an appalling lack of organisation

anyway I’m leaving there now. Damage done now. Apart ftom that an enjoyable evening and on the pitch Swindon were quality.

Definitely at Stirling Albion FC back in the day. The “Kop” at the Hospital End often had as many as 25. The queue for the pies…..800.

Only complaint is I didn’t really hear the City fans who made the trip sing, I might be wrong but that’s how it came across from the coverage

I agree very very quiet. There again I didn't hear much of the Swindon fans either after the start.

It was such an easy game where we didn't get out of first gear but a bit frustrating for us old timers we didn't get it won much earlier( by going 3-0 up) Even at 3-1 I was panicking a bit, old habits die hard. Jesus and penalties.....just no!

City fans did sing. I think the open end didn’t help the acoustics. The sound probably drifted off into the sky

 

[ninjamonkey]

Great trip that. Proper FA cup feel to it, city weren't at their best on or off the field but didnt need to be. Job done on to the next one.

Our teeth were chattering to much

Think that’s called “The Klopp”?

 

[Vienna_70]

We listened to the game while travelling through the Carolinas.

Club shop Tony was on co-commentary, and at one point, he asked if Cole was "related to the other Palmer, who used to play City years ago".

I presume he meant Roger.

 

[Ted_Bovis]

Bit like the Sterling dribble……That’s gone and done it!!!

When you don’t shake enough after a trip to the pub loo…

 

[Chi-town blues]

Credit to Swindon for atleast trying to play football unlike majority of pl team . Hope they get promoted.
