Anything sport but definitely cricket and mostly Swindon Town - editor of the old The 69er fanzine. Bit of a leftie, social justice and all that mallarkey.

Post-match sounded like he will be led by his agent so hopefully he's got a decent one who can see that 12 more months getting first team game time in a setup which will look after and nurture him is better than getting swallowed up by a big club and sent out somewhere on loan.
But also Morfuni

At least @swindonadvertiser.bsky.social is consistent in using photos which aren't from the actual match featured. Cheltenham (left, allegedly) but it's actuaΔΊly Port Vale (probably)

@swindonadvertiser.bsky.social Just wondering if the photo of Holloway celebrating 'in front of the travelling supporters' is actually from the Doncaster game πŸ˜€
Doesn't look like it. He's not even wearing the same thing.
What's the reason for featuring pictures from different matches?

@swindonadvertiser.bsky.social Something fishy about the photo of Holloway and Bignott celebrating as part of the Walsall match report.
I recognise it - not from the Bescott, not even from an away game! Previously used for Barrow home.
Watch out for it coming up again this season πŸ€”

Very proud of Harry Smith today. If that had been me I would have slapped at least one of those Vale tossers

Our club is teetering on a precipice... please, Mr Morfuni, if you can't stop us from falling, sell to someone who can It is not fun anymore. When football is no longer fun, and if supporters cannot identify with what is put in front of them, everything falls apart. Make no mistake, everything is on the edge of fallin...

Free-to-read tonight, because I think this one needs it.

Good to hear you're making the most of the weekend.
Craig said you might have had one or two beers earlier but hopefully you still caught the Butterworth classic

I am thinking of doing a Phd on the psychology and etymology of post-match interviews.

Potm probably has to go to Butterworth. Played out of position in the first half, few changes 2nd half allowed him that more attacking role.
Confidence flooded back into the team after the equaliser, v poor up to that point

Perfectly put.
I am really not able to understand why Morfuni continues to be blind to massing opinion and volume of fans giving up on this club.

Flippin heck, you're definitely more optimistic than I am; give me a shot of that.
With Accrington Stanley in mind, I am more hoping that Swindon Town are not one day the subject of an advertising piss-take
