MATCH OFFICIALS GAVIN WARD Shaun Hudson and Mark Pottage Fourth Official : Leigh Doughty
This will be Gavin Ward’s third game he has reffed the swans away from home this year. He lives in Surrey with his pet cat, Wilma, his mum and a baby leopard which he rescued from a circus in Bridlington last summer. Some of this isn’t true. However, what we do know is he doesn’t like washing his hands after painting his bedroom, and he has stated to a few personal friends that he will make sure the swans win this game.

EVERY TIME I THINK OF DERBY Lily Savage getting a good dressing down from the Spanish matador.
Yes, every time I think of Derby I think of Lily getting booted up in the air. Probably one of my favourite football memories of recent times. Those flowing locks nearly leaving his thick cranium as he yelped like Gavin Wards cat with a snake up its broadside. Since then Lily has become a so called ‘pundit’ on Radio 5 where he continues to display thick headed verbal spoutage and totally ill informed lunacy in the company of other loons not worthy of mention. Lily is a quality fool, and everyone except him knows it. Swansea fans dislike Lily because he is a prat. He also eats dog food and raw liver. He isn’t hard and his mum has got two bums.
WHAT IS A DERBY ? It’s not the easiest of questions to answer, however we do know that the much talked about Brian Clough was their manager and Stuart Pearce would rather nibble Gavin Wards cats cold turds than say the word ‘Serby’ See what I did there. Derby used to be in Norfolk before the Battle of Britain, but due to the closer proximity of the town to the reich it was moved to Derbyshire where it remains to this day. Roy Macfarlane used to play for Derby, he once picked up Billy Bremner and walked around the pitch with him before eating his left ear. Billy apologised and later died. Here is a picture of Roy and Billy, this was of course before Roy changed his name to Dave McKay. In the background you can see Terry Venables who actually never played for Derby at all. Terrys wife’s name is Myrtle. The referee cutting a fine step towards Macfarlane and Lorimer later did TV voiceovers and came up with the phrase ‘You sunk my battleship’ Bremner was actually playing for Leeds at the time and had ginger hair. Many people still think this game was a Tottenham v Leeds encounter, but that is completely untrue.
Derby is famous for ... The amount of old people’s homes they have in one city. It’s huge amount of OAPs and places for them to live have encouraged the likes of Wayne Rooney to play for the club. Wayne who has an official liking for the older more leathered flesh is now some form of manager at Derby. He is often found wandering around the city centre sniffing an old block of Stilton and winking at any likely female aged over seventy five.
Derby is also something our near neighbours down east don’t like to say.
There will be football news galore very soon
In the meantime here is a badge I took off a six year old kid who was getting all leary with me back in the day when I was proper.
And a picture of our Wayne with an old lady he spent a night with yesterday.
As good as we were against Cardiff we've been shite tonight. Can't even really point the finger tactically. Everyone is just awful. Derby are well up for it and we look like we'd rather be anywhere else.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Freddie is the biggest coward that has ever put Swans goalkeeper shirt on.He is disgusting.He has been all season and last.He cannot and will not subject himself to any risk at all ,which means he will not come for crosses that might see him suffer discomfort. His distribution is appalling .Quite why we ever took him back I would love to know.
This game is over
Our attitude was wrong from the start.
That said,look what Rooney has done to Derby .It s amazing what a little energy and desire does.
Take a look at their first goal - he had a good second or two where it was clear their player was going to get to the ball first and have a weak shot at goal. That is plenty of time to charge out and narrow down the angle.
I'm not expecting him to be wreckless like we saw with Pickford against Van Dijk, but at least attempt to make it difficult. He just stood there and watched the player shoot. He did the same thing against Middlesbrough a few weeks ago.
Well i predicted it would be tough. But bloody hell. We could have no complaints if the half had ended 4 or 5-0.
Derbys league position is deceiving though, they are on a good run of form.
Should Cooper have kept the same side? I know we won Saturday&you don't change a winning team etc, but it was still probably emotionally draining, we've got a busy fixture list&lots of travelling. Let alone that Derby obviously play very differently to the scum and we've got players who've had injuries.
Appalling. Content to shuffle it sideways and give Derby time to arrange their defence. It should be 4-0. We deserve nothing. No urgency, no intent, no movement, no shots, no effort. As I said, appalling. Derby deserve it. They’ve been everything Swans haven’t been - dynamic, direct, energetic and lethal.

Yes sadly that’s spot on, complacent players and this can happen especially when the opponent is right up for it
Massive improvement this half to restore some pride as that’s been shocking
Only an idiot would eat a turkey curry on Christmas day

I bet Derby are pleased they didn't get Cooper! We have been dreadful but only as poor as in previous games. Players are obviously physically and mentally tired and the manager should have taken that into account when picking the starting 11. Guehi and Bannet have been less than useless. Roberts has given the ball away ridiculously often. Smith and Lowe are not at the races, Ayew hasn't had a chance to get into the games, Bidwell looks out on his feet and our goalkeeper has taken the. Igbo off. Fulton and Grimes are getting dragged all over the place mainly due to other players being so far out the game they may as well be back n Swansea.

And all that is the manager’s fault?

As opposed to the managers they've had this season that have lead them to the relegation zone!?

Good post. The lack of a ten killed us first half massive gap between strikers and midfield, we can’t keep going to places with 9 defensive players.
Lowe snubbing Cooper like that when he came off surprised me then.
