Today's game 14:34 - Jul 23 with 17613 views | londonlisa2001 | Why on earth are we lining up at Bristol rovers with both Leon and Cork in the team? I mean, I assume we're not expecting a tight game where we'll be lucky to snatch a goal. Wouldn't this have been an opportunity to see someone else in midfield? Or is there genuinely no one in the 21s that can step in? These friendlies are a bit of a waste if we don't switch some players around aren't they? Particularly as half the team is still missing. | | | | |

Today's game on 16:35 - Jul 23 with 3917 views | londonlisa2001 | Is Steve Hamer their chairman? Nigel will be pleased then ;-) | | | |
Today's game on 16:46 - Jul 23 with 3733 views | MoscowJack | Yep. Probably the reason we're playing them. It was Steve Hamer's best mate (Keith Harris) who brokered our deal with the Americans. How Nigel Hamer was allowed anywhere near the deal from the Trust's side is beyond me, considering the conflict (or potential conflict) of interest. | |

Today's game on 17:12 - Jul 23 with 3344 views | somersetsimon | Just come out of the game. First thoughts... All the midfield three looked good, but Cork was the pick of the bunch. Ayew looked like he was having to play Centre forward and AM at the same time. Kingsley looked good, much better than Naughtiness on the other side. Dyer had a couple of nice looking jinky runs, but still can't cross the ball or beat his man. Barrow looked far more dangerous when he came on. I would have liked to Barrow, Gorre and McBurnie all on together for a bit longer to see what they could do. | | | |

Today's game on 18:03 - Jul 23 with 3002 views | dna | Stroll in the park - we looked really good, or were they crap?? Dyer, Cork, Fer , Ayew excellent everyone strolled around - if that's the best they've got they're going down | | | |
Today's game on 18:27 - Jul 23 with 2860 views | Glyn1 | Some reactions from the Rovers fans: http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/7734/pre-season-gas-swans "They're light-years ahead of us both on and off the pitch." "If ever there was evidence of how desperately we need a new ground to progress this is it. We were on a level playing field with them 10 years ago." "4-0 at half-time. Annihilation." "I realise we are in no place to criticise kits in our current situation but what have swansea done to theirs? Most watched league in the world and the best sponsor they could get was 'BET EAST' and joma which is definitely worse than macron" "I enjoyed the game today - the gap was massive between the two teams." "To put it into some perspective, my lad told me the player who scored with the super free kick cost £24 million. That would very nearly build a new stadium. Decent attendance at over 4,500, and a good showing by Swans with just over 1,000." (Eh? Did Ayew cost us £24m?) | |

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! |
