One Iwan Morgan who can’t stop scoring for Brentford B was on the mark today.

Swansea City Under-21s suffered defeat against Brentford in west London in their Professional Development League clash at Wheatsheaf Park.
Romelle Donovan opened the scoring just after the 10-minute mark for the Bees, whilst teammate Riley Owen doubled the home side's advantage in the 22nd minute.
Former Swans scholar Iwan Morgan tapped home the third and final goal of the clash just after the break.
The Swans did manage to carve out a few chances of their own through Aimar Govea and Sam Parker, but they were unable to make them count.
The visitors had shown three changes to the side that beat Queens Park Rangers last time out. Josh Pescatore and Morgan Bates dropped to the bench, whilst Richard Faakye missed out.
Nathan Tjoe-A-On dropped into the age-grade side to get some game time, while Ben Lloyd returned as captain following a groin injury.
The game opened at a frantic pace, and the Swans had the best of the early chances when Thomas Woodward was just unable to reach Govea's cross.
Swansea keeper Kit Margetson was forced into a diving save to keep out a free-kick from Donovan. However, the Brentford striker would find the net seconds later from the resulting corner, with a powerful effort from just inside the penalty area.
Swans stopper Margetson was called into action again when Owen's cross from an acute angle forced a low one-handed save from the Wales youth international.
But Owen soon got himself on the scoresheet when he broke through the defence and his deflected chip found its way into the net.
Swansea needed a response, and good work from Govea and Woodward ended with the latter getting away a strike from distance that found the side-netting.
The visitors looked set to pull a goal back when Parker was found unmarked in the area, but his effort struck the crossbar and flew out of play.
Brentford were the next to strike as Morgan tapped home to complete a fine team move early in the second half.
The visitors introduced Sammy Henia-Kamau and Morgan Bates just beyond the hour mark, and the pair were quickly involved.
Henia-Kamau's clever flick-on set up Bates, but his final effort sailed wide of the near post.
Approaching the final whistle, Bates' thunderous volley had Julian Eyestone scrambling to pull make a high one-handed save, with Sebastian Dabrowski putting the ball wide from the resulting corner.
Eyestone denied two further chances from the visitors as he prevented Henia-Kamau and Govea finding the net to preserve a clean sheet for Brentford.
New York Dolls front man, and the last surviving member of the band. Often described as punk or similar, they were not of course. They were a band along with the Ramires who the likes of the Clash and the Pistols regarded as influences.
If there is one more poster who mentions the word fraud regards an ex manager after I have asked politely for that to stop after a warning of legal redress you will be banned for life.
This is now taking the piss. If you already knew this then just say so and I’ll ban you right now. If you didn’t now you know. I’ve put this same comment on nine times.
Swansea City AFC is excited to announce a restructuring of its leadership team, aimed at strengthening the club's financial, operational and strategic capabilities.
The restructuring follows the news of Richard Montague joining this week as Director of Football and includes the introduction of a new Chief Operating Officer.
Tom Gorringe has joined Swansea City AFC as Chief Operating Officer. He brings a wealth of experience from his previous role at Bristol Rovers, where he served as Chief Executive Officer.
Tom has a reputation for demonstrating strong financial management at his previous clubs, improving the infrastructure, increasing revenues, driving the matchday experience whilst also ensuring operational efficiency. His extensive background in football will be an asset to the club.
Ken Gude will assume the role of Executive Director and Company Secretary, transitioning from his previous role as Chief of Staff and Head of Strategy. His new position will allow him to further drive the club's strategic initiatives and football operations, while also liaising at the League level and coordinating with key stakeholders.
Gerard Cassidy, who has been with Swansea City for a decade, has been promoted to the role of Financial Controller.
Ben Greenwood, another long-serving Swansea City employee, has been promoted to Head of Football Operations and Administration.
Chairman, Andy Coleman, said: “We are making changes to our leadership team to improve our performances on and off the pitch. There will always be a period of transition after a takeover, and we’ve been busy working to spot the gaps and areas that we need to improve to take this club forward.”
The Club’s updated Executive Management Team will consist of Ken Gude, Tom Gorringe, Andrew Davies, Richard Morris, and Richard Montague.
This restructuring is part of Swansea City AFC's ongoing commitment to building a high-performing organisation that can achieve sustainable success.
Not a more competent and qualified gent to comment on Wales club and international issues.
That comment after Wales defeated Belgium in the 2026 Euros. A tweet this afternoon brought it all back.
"Kids, put the bins out I'm not coming home".
A Welsh football treasure.
We wish him all the best for the future. I mean to put up with constant nonsense over many years that he was a Cardiff fan tells you all about the man. He never has been, never will be.
What the hell are they doing blooding their youngsters and beating the opposition. 17 and 18 year olds, clueless. What an absurd idea, shouldn’t they be at Yeovil or some unheard of third rate American private football team ? Maybe even Tipperary Long Way Utd !
Absolutely shocking.
Just noticed Yates was playing when he missed an open goal.

March 2011, the season the Swans went up to the Premier League. This shirt is from the Watford game in March 2011 and worn by Leon Britton. That season the Swans finished third and if you recall QPR were under investigation for a variety of breaches but they still edged the league. Only a Cardiff slip up at the end of that season prevented both sides meeting in the play offs, and indeed the play off final. But Cardiff bottled it again. The signature is only light due to the picture and camera angle. The shirt comes in a protective cover and framed.
