It’s good to see Keith from Stroud in charge of this game, he hasn’t got that far to drive and can get a lift back on the Bristol City team coach if he parks up on the M4/M5 junction. Lovely kebab van near there too, think about it Keith, it’s definitely an option pal.
Keith from Stroud will probably park up near the kebab van next to the M4/M5 and jump on the Wurzel bus to the Liberty
Stroud last officiated a swans game on December 2nd 2020 when Middlesbrough beat the swans 2-1. He booked Grimes and Dhanda that day because he was scared of Neil Warnock. Steve Cooper didn’t bother him that much, but that was before Andy Woolmer went looking for it. We do have information that Stroud is now a bit concerned about this game because he doesn’t like Cooper either. We think, it might not be true, but if it is then it’s almost certainly correct. Stroud was also the ref for the first leg play off against Brentford last year, that night he went a bit nuts, but recovered well enough to drive home.
Stroud always kisses the ball and has avoided Covid all season by drinking a litre of turpentine before and after each match
Obviously all of us here at Swansea Independent urge you not to drink turpentine, unless you are in Newcastle with Hoddle and Waddle singing their number one classic tune about cleaning paint brushes in the fog.
Matches against Bristol City generally close affairs except the 2005 game which the swans won 7-1. The robins manager, Brian Tinnion, sat on the away bench after the game for three days, he was eventually removed by court order.
Brian Tin Tin Tinnion no relation to Stephen Tin Tin Duffy, but equally as shit
Cardiff City’s main rivals, Bristol City visit the Liberty and will have to drive past Cardiff on the M4 which will of course terrify them, what with this big rivalry between the two clubs that isn’t. This game would have been ear marked for an easy three points a few weeks ago, but much has changed. Nigel Pearson, that throat grabbing box of fun is the newly appointed manager and the Robins as they are known have new orange chests and feathers.
New robins manager Nigel ‘the strangler get a grip on yourself ‘ Pearson
Bristol City are commonly known as the fans who don’t turn up alongside Cardiff who are the fans who make things up, and East Stirlingshire who are in Scotland. Incredibly the dialect in Bristol is known as Wurzel, we had a look at typical sayings in Wurzel Bristol, and they basically were the same as everywhere else, which almost places them in the ‘making things up’ bracket with Cardiff.
They played for both sides
Lee Trundle
Steve Torpey
There are others but I can’t be bothered.
Early team news
Swansea City
Kyle Naughton suffered an injury during the second half against Coventry City. Wayne Routledge is still out as is Liam Cullen. It’s looking like Ryan Bennett won’t make this game either which is a huge blow again for the swans.
The swans ( as we know them ) have won eight of their last eleven league games, drawing two and losing only one. The club by all accounts is in crisis.
Burzle City
The tractor will be somewhat empty as Angela Lansbury is out, as is Alfie Mawson. Weimann is also out and a bloke called O’Dowda. And another bloke called Martin and Dasilva too. Oh, and that Watkins fella.
Bristol City won last time out 3-1 at Middlesbrough. They lost the previous seven matches on the bounce. The last time they won was 2-1 against Huddersfield Town in January, yes them.
Current League Table
More to follow most likely.

No way was that a pen. Perfectly dispatched though |
It’s one of them that’ll usually be given as a handball every time outside of the box but not for a penalty. |  |

I've always liked Keith Stroud as a ref 
Nothing less than we deserve, no matter how we scored it. | | | |

Not sure if I’m being harsh here but Dhanda off for me. Attitude just not right and not doing enough. |  | | |

Yup - maybe the ref looked through the first half highlights & realised he owed us one! | | | |

Agent Kasey. |
This game never ceases to amaze - you see stonewall penalties not given and then there’s that. Never mind we deserved it. Well done andre! When you’ve got time do try changing your runup procedure! 😀 |  | | |

Too much wandering about, unable to go for the kill. Too cautious. | |

Grimes at fault there stopped passed it back instead of looking for the foreward option | |

Without doubt he offers nothing |  | | |

First shot on target.
We've allowed them back into the game by sitting back and allowing them possession. | |

I see we've resorted to the Swansea we all know and love- dominate a game totally and concede a stupid by gifting the opposition their only chance.
Really, really frustrating as they weren't even pressing us. We could have passed it around our defence all afternoon but we tried to be too clever in the wrong area and its cost us. | | | |
