I was just thinking about today's game and my thoughts turned to our supporters that attended, I tried to imagine the mixed emotions they must have experienced. During the first half, it must have been a massive " WTF", witnessing that 1st half display with " you're f ing shit" ringing out around the ground, some may have felt the urge to even join in. Fast forward to the second half, to witness the change in the football and the effort put in, to be able to sing back " 3 nil and you fcked it up" must have been one hell of an adrenaline rush, making it an " I was there moment" . Even though I wasn't there, to hear our supporters gave me goosebumps while laughing out loud, once again great away support, you done us proud. Yours sincerely, one envious Jack.

He was pretty scathing of our Russ, I’m surprised you posted that to be fair.
I posted it because someone wanted a perspective from fans in the ground. I think the video shows a great perspective of that. Albeit from a youngsters' point of view.
Think it highlights the difference between supporters and fans. Fans are not interested in stats , fans just want the team to play well and get a positive result. Its been a while since I felt the emotional roller coaster ride like I did on Sat, cooperball just alienated me and I got to a point that if we lost it was a case of meh,

Like many fans, losing we were rubbish, winning we are not. Say what you see supporters. But I like the guys commitment to his channel.
Yeah, he seems a good kid and his channel is pretty good. He goes to all away games and during Covid, he was doing live streams from his house. A sort of live commentary type thing. A couple of times I couldn't get a stream, I listened to him. He is quite funny. Don't necessarily agree with his views, but that's not the point.

So let’s not hear anything about possession stats then? It’s funny that people like match facts when it fits their narrative but then claim to hate them when it shows the opposite.
Utter rubbish, though, as you well know.
Those that claim to not like stats and are “real” fans as a result, simply say that because they have absolutely no idea how to break down a match and they often get proven to be talking nonsense by match facts (or stats if you like). When you hide behind “it’s my opinion and I’m entitled to it as a “real fan” - then it’s quite the security blanket if you cannot be proven to be incorrect by those match facts.
The amount of rubbish I have heard from these kinds of supporters is off the scale. Sadly not a lot of people have any idea what they are watching. Someone earlier said they didn’t think we went more direct in the second half against Luton (?!).
To people like me and others who read the game well, it’s quite obvious we did, I compared it to the Bristol match at the time. I went to find the stats and it showed it to be the case, 1 long ball difference between this match and the Bristol match and both matches having the most amount of long balls all season.
When you give your view and the match facts after some digging for them reveal exactly that, then you know you are on the right path. When you have to start dancing around and claiming the facts are wrong is when you know you are probably barking up the wrong tree and have to rely on the “real fan” argument.

Bit patronising to keep calling him a kid. He has a full on beard, he’s a man.
Seems to read the game pretty well too from the bits I saw of him last season.

Don't think I've ever mentioned possession stats. Simple question, what is football and the Swans to you ? As in what do they mean, how do they affect your life if indeed they do. Serious question !

Shut up you complete 🟨
I am saying good things about the lad. I am promoting his channel even, but you have to make out I'm being nasty to him!
To me, he's a kid. If you watch the video, his mates are all kids. I guess they are between 15 and 19. To me that's a kid. Although, technically, if you're 18 you are classed as a man. I still call an 18 year old a kid.
As young as they are, I'm sure they would act more grown up than you if there were on this forum.
edit...abuse reported and removed. Hope bellend is not too abusive, but it's true. A mere opinion of someone clearly trying to get a reaction from me.

You have resorted to hate speech so don’t be surprised if someone points this out to you. Save your indignation for those that pointvthis out to you.

And he is a man.
My indignation is with Dr P, ONLY. The guy is an absolute joke. His only reason for posting on this site is to provoke people. I shouldn't have called him a piece of crap on this forum though I agree. My opinion of him/her/it should be kept to myself.

What is wrong with you?
You are calling a man a kid and have referring to his age about five times. You even said “albeit from a youngster”.
He’s a man, his mates are all different ages, I imagine they are people that live around him.
Now calm down you absolute 🟨
Ditto.

You think it’s provoking to say you shouldn’t be calling a man a “kid” and imply his views aren’t as relevant due to his age?
You think it’s provoking to say finishing 4th is good and being 21st isn’t great?
Ok precious.
