Here's Mike, a mayonnaising referee
Michael Salisbury will be the man in the middle when Swansea City take on Stevenage in the third round of the FA Cup this weekend. This will be the Lancashire official’s second Swans match, having previously taken charge of the Carabao Cup clash against Cambridge United last season. Michael is an avid collector of empty salad cream bottles from 1974-1976. He has refereed in the Football League since the 2016-17 season, while his father Graham is also an EFL official. He will be assisted by Nigel Lugg and David Hunt, while Charles Breakspear will be the fourth official.
Stevenage hasn't been built yet but as soon as it is we will offer you an insightful look at its location, people and fruit shops.

The story of the FA Cup and Stevenage v Swansea City
The clubs have met before In the FA Cup, Swansea won 2-1, they had a defender at the club at the time called Nathan Bunce who someone I know arrested once for being horrible and fighting. He’s probably lopping the tops of trees now instead of peoples heads. It wasn’t a pretty game to watch, all those years back. Rog was in goal, Martinez on the bench, they had a few booked because they couldn’t deal with our play. Thats about it really. There are two other games which we will talk about later. They’ve bored me already.
Actually if you are a supporter of Stevenage, welcome to you both. Our Matchday threads are a little bit, I’m unsure how to describe them, let’s say a bit of a grin. No malice is intended, unless of course you support Stevenage. We would of course now like to congratulate you on the building of your town, it didn’t take long did it ? Obviously used quick drying cement from Lafarge Aggregates, a wonderful company who do a great price on hardcore landscaping.
So what do we know about Stevensvillage
Well, here’s some hard facts on this club from Hertfordshire, near that London.
Stevenage Football Club Ltd
Stevenage Football Club, The Lamex Stadium, Broadhall Way, Stevenage, Herts, SG2 8RH
Registered Company Number: 2901467
VAT Registration Number: 396 873 483
That’s one hell of a trophy cabinet you have there lads and lasses, that VAT number slams our close friends and neighbours ‘Caaaaaaaardfiff’ in to the ground, just spend, spend, spend, we did up until 2002 then it only cost us 5p in the pound. They don’t like that at all, apparently we should have all been shot at Dawn, or Ruth, depending on the state of her granites.
We also notice you are looking for a sports turf and grounds operative In your vacancy section, we’ve narrowed that down to someone to cut the grass and fling a bit of weedol around on a Sunday morning. Got to be honest though folks, don’t ask our lot at The Liberty. It will turn to dust in minutes. Hey, all good fun. Maybe ...
He looks like a young inoffensive chap, mowing your lawn
We’ve got a new pitch to play on, so if you don’t beat us we can have a go on it in a replay. Is there a replay, god knows ? I haven’t looked to be honest. You see this fixture isn’t grabbing our ball sacks if the truth be known. It’s not as if you are going to win the cup, we nearly did a few years ago but got diddled by the ref, had they let us use our VAR Man City would have been done good and proper. Have you got VAR ? Well, we know the answer it’s no, because you are a smaller club than Cardiff and their u23’s, but don’t worry there’s time for you yet.
We will do a bit of facts and figures a bit later, until then regards to you both, Keep smiling, at least the Covid thingy means you are all safe at home fiddling with Stevens Village.
Stevenage club crest.
Wasnt that a pathetic entry to the thread, you know the Luton Town thingy,
Here's some news.
Clubs may automatically have to forfeit a game if they are hit by coronavirus, with each case to be assessed by the FA on its individual circumstances.
Substitutions
Clubs can name a maximum of nine substitutes for their ties, with teams permitted a maximum of three opportunities to make substitutions during the match. However, if a player suffers a concussion (or potential concussion), clubs shall be permitted to use an additional two substitutions.
Replays
There will be no replays in this season's competition. The FA introduced the measure "to assist in easing pressure on the football schedule and to ensure that domestic competitions can still be delivered". That means if the scores are level after 90 minutes, a period of 30 minutes extra time will be played. If the sides still cannot be separated, the outcome will be determined by a penalty shoot-out.
VAR
Video Assistant Referees (VAR) will only be used in nine of the 32 third round ties. They are the ones taking place at Premier League stadiums.
TV and live streaming
Fans in the UK will be able to watch all 32 ties, either on BBC and BT Sport and their digital channels or through The FA Player. Eight fixtures will be live across the BBC's platforms, 16 across BT Sport's digital channels and the remaining eight fixtures broadcast free to supporters on the FA Player.

This is a big issue for us right now, lack of proper alternatives.
The manager gets pelters for not using subs but his options are far too limited. I hope some of those that continually bang that tired old drum finally see the reality.
A subject which deserves its own thread. |
Lack of alternatives eh?
The usual suspects ala woodman, cabango, fulton etc played well, it was the players on the periphery who dont get many games who didnt play well, I wonder why?
It isnt rocket science is it. |  | | |

Change 7 players who have been little or no game time and guess what ... they are going to struggle.
Change 7 players who have, in rotation, been given fairly regular outings of 20 - 30 minutes and there will be greater understanding and cohesion.
That's exactly why Cooper is given pelters; his failure to bring fringe players into the team especially when we are a couple of goals will bite in the proverbial.
2 up and changing your front two won't weaken the defence and will add
1) fresh legs
2) fresh ideas
3) fresh heads
4) give incentive
5) give a chance for players to get to know each other in a competitive situation
6) prepare fringe players for competitive games |  |

To be fair there are not many apart from you who are giving pelters. There were many including myself who could clearly see mistakes made in the early part of last season. Since football resumed after the first lock down Cooper has made very few mistakes and learnt from them. We are where we are for a reason, the manager. |  | | |

No.He is not alone. He is one of the few who has doubts.
The day we all think the same is the day we are finished.
Sport is something ,like politics and religion, that people argue over so people need to realise that. It is fundamental.It is pointless following any sport otherwise.
I cannot believe our fan base sometimes;few other clubs have those who first thought-after a win- is to rip into posters who might have hammered/slagged off ,insulted or abused some players,who ,by and large ,do not a shyte give.
Get a grip boys ,please. | |

Look at the original post I was responding to ... Not me who first used the word pelters.
Plenty make suggestions and negative comments about Cooper's use (lack of use) of substitutes.
As I said above, don't whine about the standard of fringe players when they start games when they are thrown in without any serious competitive football. | |

Would you be happy if we’d have thrown fringe players and were 6 points worse off than we are now? The adage is don’t change a winning team |  |

Exactly right
As we’ve not scored more than two goals in a game this season it means all of the games have been right in the balance until the end. You cannot randomly change players to get them onto the pitch when games are so tight ( unless players need to subbed for injury or poor performance ) which hadn’t been the case. He’s just trying to find ( unsuccessfully ) something to take a swing at Cooper about and it’s wearing thin. Nowt so queer as folk as they say. | |

This is where Potter fell down and Cooper initially. Just shows even though we’re doing better than any of us expected not everyone will be happy. Especially our panel of experts | |

Exactly which panel of experts would that be then.
You seem to be part of a massive body of on line experts where what YOU think is correct.You ever wrong?
