Thread | Swansea U18 6 v 2 Colchester U18 ...
by theloneranger at 16:32 3 Dec 2024
"Swansea City Under-18s' striker Morgan Bates was 'over the moon' after netting his first Swansea City hat-trick in their 6-2 victory over Colchester United.
The Swans were 2-1 up at the break thanks to fine finishes from Aidan Higgins and Bates, while a quick counter from the U's allowed Raashad Drysdale to halve the deficit.
The goals continued to come thick and fast in the second half, Milo Robinson netted his first goal of the season on the hour mark, with Bates getting his second minutes later.
Eighteen-year-old Bates then grabbed a third and completed his hat-trick to make it 5-1, meaning the former Briton Ferry man has racked up over 10 goals for all age groups so far this season.
Kai Martin pulled a goal back from the spot for the visitors, but substitute Callum Jones rounded off the scoring for the Swans.
"It feels great to have finally got a hat-trick to my name. I'm over the moon and, even more importantly, it has helped the boys get the win," said Bates.
"It was a big confidence boost to not only score three in one game, but to get a win under our belts is great because we've had a tough run, especially after not progressing through in the PDL Cup.
"The boys scored some great goals as well, and credit to them for always providing for me in the box."
Bates has also featured for the club's under-21s this season, and had relished the opportunity to feature alongisde his brother and captain, Mitchell.
"It's a nice feeling to have just joined, and instantly get some game time with the under-21s, and to top that off with my first goal against Brentford," he added.
"It's weird seeing my brother on the pitch, I think it was one of the first times we've really played together. But we just get on with the game, but we definitely look out for each other."

Thread | Biden crime family
by mangohilljack at 09:34 2 Dec 2024
So after years of telling us he won't do it ...he's only gone and done it!!
Biden crime family strike again. Yes he pardoned Hunter and it covers the entire period of the 2014 CIA coup in Ukraine when Hunter was appointed to the board of a Ukrainian gas company.
This means he can't be investigated for any criminal activity during that timeframe.

Thread | Suggestions for Coleman
by SullutaCreturned at 13:02 1 Dec 2024
Right then, we have a new board, a new set of owners, can they turn things around? There is a lot to do and I knw Coleman talks to fans when he's in the away end so come on guys, any suggestions how to improve things, lets see...
I'd kick it off by saying put Wifi in the ground, when people try to use their phones during matches they can't get a signal, I can't send texts or use the internet and it's really annoying, worse still I cannot make or recieve phone calls. My wife has epilepsy and if someone phones me in an energency and can't get through...well I'm sure there are other people in similar positions.
Also, why does the club need an outside partner to do credit for season tickets, can't they say that if you vuy one for next season then you can also start to pay monthly for the season after. When you are buying seats for 3/4 people it's very expensive and the ability to start paying early in a continuos payment scheme without interest may be popular, specially when every penny goes to the club. I know that if it were available (bearing in mind I didn't renew for this season because I'd had enough of Levein and Kaplan) I would buy tickets for next season right now. Surely they can do something? |

Thread | The worst UK city for growth?
by AnotherJohn at 04:18 1 Dec 2024
MSN is featuring a story, recycled from September, about PWC's survey of the best and worst UK cities that I’d missed before. I looked down the best cities list expecting Swansea to be in the top 10, but to my horror we feature as number 1 on the worst cities list.
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/the-20-best-and-worst-cities-to-live-in-th
https://www.pwc.co.uk/government-public-sector/good-growth/assets/pdf/good-growt *full report)
The exercise is based on an index developed for PWC’s Framework for Growth research, and our problems seem to include the winding down of traditional industries, the need for city regeneration, serious economic disparities, and lack of affordable housing. Apart from the major impact of the blast furnace closure at Port Talbot, I don’t really recognise the picture, but perhaps I have been misled by the refurbishment of important city buildings and our geographical advantages. Are we really the worst UK city for growth? Apologies if this is old news for some.

Thread | Lets talk about Tymon
by dantheswansman at 19:05 30 Nov 2024
Whenever i see his stats after game he is almost always up there on 6/7 chances created, whether that is good enough or not is what i am asking but
When i see him in the flesh i must see 80/85% of his passes are backwards, personally i think he puts in a mean cross when he can be bothered but he doesn't seem to be bothered to do that very often
Almost like he is scarred to take on his man?
Its infuriating because as someone who obviously watches the Swans every match i know he can put goal creating crosses into that box
I am wondering why he doesn't go for it more?
Am i alone in this belief?
I would love peoples opinions on him as a player, so lets discuss Mr Josh Tymon
