Meet the Ref
Andy Davies
Andy meets Olly
Andy boy has been a referee for eight years, retiring from football at the age of 28 he previously played for Portsmouth, Yeovil and somebody else I can’t remember. In his spare time Andy oven roasts live turkeys, which at this time of year makes him everyone’s friend except people from Turkey. Now hear this, now hear this, he has reffed well over 200 professional games, and only on six occasions has he not booked players. He booked eight in a game between Cardiff and Villa two years ago, no problems there, but he loves a card, it’s frightening. He sends players off far more than any other referee in the professional leagues, he has been the subject of many complaints by managers, fans and hits the headlines a lot with his decision making. Don’t think that those eight yellows at Cardiff are a one off, he regularly hits the five or six mark, and frighteningly seven. And as we have said he has only completed six games with no cards, from well over 200 GAMES, think about it. This guy has a way of changing games. This will be cardo’s fifth swans game he has been allocated. What will we get on Saturday ?
Turkey rustler Andy Davies, frightening card stats
What is a Barnsley ?
Barnsley is a hedonistic town in the north of the north. It’s a regular haunting for the likes of ghosts and Darren Gob from Talk Sport. Dazza Gobba is from Monk Breton in Barnsley and we will come back to that later. He alleges that he was once offered a pro football contract by Rotherham United. So, now it’s later why Monk Breton ? simple, it’s where Garry Monk was born, when they slapped his arse in the delivery room they noticed he was wearing an expensive watch and his wife took it off him. Barnsley is famous for the amount of magic mushrooms that can be located over a specific acre of field in a secret area everyone knows about just outside the town. In 2011 the Barnsley chop was banned in the town, the chop is a piece of meat, a cut close to the spine of an animal. At this point the animal is dead, or nearly dead, sometimes it is very dead. The Barnsley chop isn’t banned in Monk Breton and Gawber. Gawber is now called that name because someone in the past decided that would be a good idea. The name remains.
Barnsleh ! was the first English town to cater for people with no heads in the T-shirt game
92,000 people live in that Barnsley where the favourite pastime of locals aged forty and over is playing in brass bands. Only 1% of the population is Asian before you lot start, but it does have countless white people of British birth, I don’t know why I am going here, but why not ? it’s a fact. The town isn’t as multi cultural as Whitland or maybe Kenfif Hill, but who is caring ? Don’t start your nonsense on here or I’ll offer you out. Ok ?
Thingy, you know the umpire bloke and Michael Parkinson who actually came round our house once are from Barnsley. That’s about it, only five people who live there are called Lee Barnes.
This is Darren Gobs house in Barnsley, it’s got a lovely paint job. Tha knaws

What about the running in behind, over powering them, too big and too strong they are frightened of him.

He's having a cracking game. |  |
| 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. |

Two defenders round him, yellow was right. We go 1 0 than going to defend for 89 mins. |
I wasn't surprised by the decision, but as I saw things the defenders were half a pace further from the Barnsley goal line than Dhanda, so that the keeper was the last man.
In any case Barnsley have been the better team for most of the half. | | | |

Dhanda way out of his depth, playing like a little girl leaving us with 10 men, literally.
Smith to get a grip of the middle with some tenacity, strength and streetwise nouse.
Lowe outstanding. One of our talismen for sure | |

I honestly didn't realise Smith was playing!
I a game of so little skill we are doing OK.
Why are we so bad at keeping possession from throws in and goal kicks? |  |

Lowe has been good. Just to raise a taking point though, although he made good contact with the ball for his goal, he once again hit his shot straight at the keeper. Today it zipped through open legs, but I like a striker who puts the ball in the corner. | | | |

After our excellent start we don't seem to be able to string three passes together. Under the cosh in the last five minutes.
Case for last man and a red there. [Post edited 19 Dec 2020 15:31]

Couldn’t agree more. Even taking into account the abysmal playing surface, which hopefully will be no more after today, the quality of passing and general ball-control is pretty dire. Oh to have a Leon Britton who can tidy up aerial rubbish, bring it down and lay it off along the floor to a team-mate in space. We should be dominating play but if you can’t string 3 passes together you won’t dominate much. I just pray that our tactics now are not to sit on this lead but to try to add to it.
C’mon Swans play like you did second-half against Cardiff! |  | | |

Clever bit of late movement there for our 2nd goal. Bidwell came off the goal line to get in front of the near post. | | | |
