It’s a magnificent return for Oliver Robert McBurnie to his home city of Swansea, the team he loves and adores, the best thing that ever happened to him. He loves the swans ! So boo him at every turn, don’t applaud this oaf for ninety minutes he is the enemy, then say “Hi mate, you loves the swans mush “
Saturday 14th August 2021
Swansea City v Sheffield United
The newly named stadium
Kick Off 8pm
LIVE a on SKY and on Swans TV if you like a dark market.
Officials
Keith Stroud will be the referee for Swansea City’s Championship fixture against Sheffield United on Saturday. Stroud has taken charge of the Swans on eight occasions across the past two seasons. He will be assisted by Ian Cooper and Sam Lewis, while Sam Allison will be the fourth official. Keith still collects small beach pebbles from the beach at Forest Green. Sometimes he throws them at his neighbours cats, who throw them back at him. Apparently.
Player to watch - Tommy Butler
Tommy Butler, the very name strikes fear in to the hearts of blades fans. The mercurial attacker / non attacker, with silky smooth gravy making skills and a little bit of Irish wit is the player to watch on Saturday night. It is expected he will start the game or maybe even not start the game dependent if he has been round Joel Piroe’s house or not. Although Russell Martin “Doesn't know Tommy” he has heard of him as he left a plastic turd in his office last Monday morning. Many swans fans will be looking forward to seeing Tommy again, especially if he brings his plastic dancing bear and veterinary anal infiltrator.
What is a McBurnie
McBurnie means “Div” in Gaelic. And when you search on the term it explains “ Becomes a div after consumption of the devils drink” Oliver has made the headlines a few times since he left the swans, buying people beer, making gestures towards the tramps in Cardiff, booting members of the public about and driving whilst slaughtered, he has done a great job in keeping up his PR profile. A lot of people who like Olly do so not because he is a nice guy, which we all know he is, but because he played for Swansea City. Weird eh ? He is also a lovely generous chap. Just drink water mate.
 Russell Martin’s biggest test as a manager is here : Today ! 14th Aug 2021 09:39The day is here for Russell Martin, due to obscure regulations on crowds at sporting events in Wales he won’t feel the full atmosphere of a packed Swansea City stadium, but his biggest football management day to date is here.  0
 Russell Martin : Those brilliant moments are not far away 15th Aug 2021 09:00Swansea City drew at home to Sheffield United in a goalless draw at the Swansea.Com stadium in front on the SKY Sports TV cameras last night. 16,000 was the capped capacity for the game and they watched a solid performance from the swans. 0

TBF the season tickets last season were so cheap the proportion you'd get returned wouldn't cover the handling costs. |
Cheapest in the division, I'm sure I saw somewhere |  |

After a barren year, odds on Brewster to score.
Curse of the former players ! |
The fannying about with the ball between our defenders & keeper is certainly risky with Brewster & Oli up top. |  | | |

This will be my 45th season supporting the Swans but after COVID and lockdown etc the raw ‘schoolboy excitement’ and anticipation I feel for attending the first home game of the season tomorrow is massive.
The thought of being back in the Lib (Sellout Arena) with a 16k+ crowd and the atmosphere generated is seriously giving me butterflies …… am I alone here or what folks 🤷ðŸ¼â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤·ðŸ¼â€â™‚ï¸ ??
Maybe it’s an age thing ? |  |

I’m with you 100%. 45th year supporting also and it seems like I’ve got a lot of pent up feeling about this season. Missing being at the football has probably affected all of us but there’s also a freshness about this season and I’m cautiously optimistic.
I like the feel of what’s being attempted by Martin and his management team - if Tuesday is anything to go by the players are buying in to it to too. Ok there may be setbacks but I’ve got a good gut feeling already. Can’t wait to get back in the stadium and soak it all up again. Bring it on ! |  |
