Forest Green/Blue Rovers v Swindon Town - Mines a Double

[Chris FGR]

So having already beaten the moonrakers once this season, we go into Saturday looking to do the double over them, in August. Talk about domination. We're still unbeaten this season, been solid but have drawn too many as despite a lot of nice football we haven't been clinical enough. Unlike us Swindon have had quite an entertaining/dramatic start to the season, lots of goals at both ends, two late comeback wins at home, a very late equaliser conceded on Tuesday and a load of red cards.

Having told Hummel to fuck off, it will be interesting to see if we carry on in our "lucky" blue kit we've been wearing so far. If not then we'll need the new supplier to rustle up something else pretty quick.

Should be a good crowd (for us), especially if there are 3-400 Swindon fans in the home end like there were last season.

My guess is you'll wear your blue kit with the manufacturer's name taped over, perhaps with a self-indulgent message from Dale on it.

Suspensions for Swindon and we've got a good replacement for Mad Gav so should be in with a good chance.

 

[Big Bird]

Dunne shouldn't be starting for us anyway and we've got Smith or McCourt to cover for Diagouraga so shouldn't affect us too much.

Our games are full of banter at the moment so predicting what will happen is pretty much impossible.

Will go 1-2 with McGlashan and Richards on the scoresheet.

Dunne is bottom the pecking order for CM anyway and Diagouraga isn't ready for 90 minutes. Smith, Doughty and Alzate will probably start.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Ah, I was hoping it was a couple of key players, not that I want to spawn an unfair win or anything...

Gav's back anyway. 2 yellows is a 1 game ban.

You’ve had one of those already!

You’ll get spanked more than a politician’s whore.

That was our reserves though, Saturday is your total football MASTERCLASS from the big boys.

 

[Indian Dan]

Well, not surprisingly, we’ve sold all our 1213 ticket allocation. Be a few amongst the home fans like last time. Be no trouble, though - as it should be.

Didn't realise they'd got the away capacity up quite that high.

I’m looking forward to standing in that bicycle shed

Will have to elbow your way in if you've sold out, or maybe you could all take turns for ten minutes? Keeping our pot firmly tin here.

Presumably Vigoroux will make a tit of himself and get sent off given that this is a local derby

 

[Agombar stool]

FGR have started well this season including continuing to add to our feeble cup 'runs' by knocking us out of the League Cup.

Expect another tough game, have a feeling we may sneak a 2-1 win.

Oo I see people partake in the "banter" on this website. How fun!

 

[Stripes]

This will be yet another tight game for us. Most likely outcome if having a bet would be a draw. I do feel we have been a tad unlucky in all of our last three league draws. In this fixture last season we were still on the ropes, finally we have reason to be more optimistic. I actually fancy us to really turn it on this Saturday. We practically played our second string in the cup last week. Saturday will be a very interesting contest. Should be a cracking game given we both want to play a bit. Don't miss this one.

That’s a ‘pointless’ comment!

Actually it's a 'prediction' about an upcoming 'match'. Also, your use of quotation marks is incorrect.

Welcome back, though I wasn't expecting to see you round here for another eight months.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Can't believe you're all allowing this real rivalry to interfere with our made up one.

not all thank you Mr Jolly.

 

[GTFCfish]

Didn’t realise that FGR hadn’t won since their impressive opening day game at ours, which just proves for absolute definite that we are in fact their ‘cup final’ and they must have ‘raised their game’ to play us but haven’t bothered doing the same to any team since.



Obviously.

 

[Chris FGR]

Because so far no other team apart from Grimsby has decided to pass the ball into the back of their own net whilst we stood around watching, then decided not to mark Doidge from a corner and then to cap it off passed it to him for a one on one with their keeper. If they had done we'd have beaten all them too.

Why can't more teams play like pub sides against us? If they did we'd romp the league. Instead the annoying bastards have all defended properly. #bemorelikegrimsby

I'm 'sorry'.

Yeah, but apart from that we did ok.

Actually, we got 1235 tickets which have all gone. Would that have been more or less than last season?

We were limited to around 800 as I recall, and that was what you brought plus whoever went in the home ends. Might have that wrong.

 

[Indian Dan]

That sounds about right. Should be a good game/atmosphere tomorrow. I’d love a drab, uneventful 1-0 win.

Whilst I am enjoying our nil pointer I attribute a lot of my success in life to an ability to plan ahead.
