Swindon Town - Billy Bodin: 'I never really wanted to leave to be honest' - BBC Sounds Billy Bodin on his return to Swindon Town, 13 years on.

Also what fantastic PR Holloway’s run is. It’s just a bleep test without the technology but some fans seem to think it is like completing all 12 of Hercules’ labours while carrying extra heavy shopping. #stfc

Bit cheeky from the Adver to run an ‘exclusive’ on quotes lifted from a YouTube interview given on the weekend and given a pokey headline. #stfc

I’m boycotting the new #stfc shirt. Mind you, I’ve boycotted every other #stfc shirt since I was a child. Because I’m no longer a child.

Drinan being quietly announced last night means there is only one contract offer on the table (with Ofoborh) and #stfc have retained the bulk of last year’s post Christmas team. Now to add a left foot or two…

Thanks Andrew. Thandrew

Excellent. Got any more? As in Mabete is on the official site now.

I think the big question is: in late May when the sun is up until 5 am until 9 pm, how the hell did the club manage to take his publicity photos in the dark? #stfc

True but what does Clarke manage? 12 cards - probably in fewer minutes.

The Kamohelo Mokotjo rumour is a bit more fun though #stfc

#stfc being linked with Oldaker now ex of Chesterfield. Likely the Clarke replacement in CM as he drops deeper. 4.0 ball regains per game last season. So a tackler but this season has been his worst for cards: 7 yellows, 2 reds.

It is excellent news. He’s already a very good player and only getting better.

Pleased to see Glatz on the retained list just gone out. Cox perhaps the only surprise in the departures. Does emphasise how much ‘deadwood’ there was in the squad #stfc

It was odd - especially first half. They seemed to only try to play out through one route but otherwise defended within (and in the width) of the 18-yard box. Left so much space on the flank. Odd with Smith’s ability.

Too early to sit next to people from Stroud reading horrific tin-foil red-pilled freesheet horror The Light.

I hate these early kick off. Too early for trains, too early for pints, too early for football.

It isn’t exactly entertaining but could someone please wipe the lense? #stfc

It is superb news. Finally we should have the football knowledge and singular direction in the right part of the club to prevent so much of the previous inefficiencies of constantly changing direction.

Typo. Clamouting

The Adver ‘newspaper’ putting the wrong year on a headline.

Adver having a belter today.Clamouting might be a #Clemouting autocorrect. Or it might just be the product of an increasingly erratic publication. #stfc

Three kick-off in the second half! Can only be due to a betting syndicate.

Tbh I was struggling to work out why I felt so relaxed about today but that is it: It just doesn’t really matter. #stfc

A black and white aerial photograph of the County Ground football and cricket pitches with tents on, with mud and well-worn paths visible. A single roundabout where the Magic Roundabout stands today. Photograph from a USAAF flight, 8th September 1943, via Historica England.

The pitch isn't looking the best at the County Ground at the moment, but here it is being used as a prisoner of war camp in September 1943.

What a relief to hear Tyrone Williams looking towards a future return to football.

Based on that first half, they are about as creative as AI. #stfc

Thanks for posting these. I could say the context helps but it sort of doesn’t, but amid the rambles, which any editor would trim, there are bits of insight. At least into Ian.

Good to see the #stfc trust putting out an email explaining about the meetings and the future advisor board schedule. Great for those of us who have given up on the hellsite, and most social media.

Perhaps the first booking could have been interpreted the other way but that second was a massive dive. #stfc

Swindon line up versus Carlisle.

Line up today - now with new graphics even slightly harder to work out a formation #stfc

I’d love to hear a ‘keeper’s view on it. Who was on co-comms last night with @talkinghawes.bsky.social? Obviously it had to be a cross that went wrong but it is a 1 in a million shot.

Okay, so I was completely wrong. I thought width would be useful and so Butterworth would be the wrong option #stfc
