Just back.
The 'Rocking Robin Haka' was comedy gold - dad dancing being done badly by a bloke in a bird costume. It was toe curlingly embarrassing. And hilariously poor.
Anyone who moans about our stadium ought to take a trip to the skip. It gets worse every time. The Stratton Bank 'stand' (an open terrace with chairs bolted to it) is covered in moss and bird shit. The rest of the place looks like it's held together with sticky tape and spit.
The Swindon fans showed their confidence by avoiding the game. 7,500 home fans for hotly contested derby is pathetic.
Their tactics seemed to consist of 'kick the tricky opposition players' and hoof the ball up and hope Ajose can get on the end of it. They deserve to get relegated. They might play a bit better if they concentrated on kicking the ball rather than other players.
We started very poorly indeed - when we improved, it was night and day.
The much maligned Mr Deadman was actually OK - a few rickets but nothing that changed the game.
Their players really lost it at the end - typifying a graceless, crude club.
A brilliant day out, actually improved by coming back from behind and being able to stuff their taunts after their goal back down their throats.

That whole place had the smell of doom. Tired old stadium, passive fans, immature ,callow players, lack of nouse.
Almost as bad as Oldham on pitch in fact. I'd have them as evens to go down.
Appleton has the knack of changing tactics quickly- he is a high quality manager who is going to go far in the game. Hopefully - with us most of the way.
All the players were pretty good today, save for Dunks who looked very awkward. Lunny was very inconsistent.
Hats off to Hall, Magure, Ledson and Nelson. Top performers..

I thought Martinez was a bit lacking. If he was supposed to be the main striker, he never seemed to be in the box when we were in position to get a cross in. A difficult game to make your full debut on though!

I thought we were poor in the first half.....too passive and their left winger was causing problems because we weren't tight enough. Second half Ledson set the tone with some crunching tackles and we wanted it more. You can see Martinez has quality but he didn't look like he'd get on the end of anything, twice we got in behind to cross and he was stood on the edge of the box. Lunstrams passing was woeful at times but you can't fault his commitment. Dunks looked a bag of nerves but settled down in the second half.
Loved it when those two muppets decided to run at our fans and then stopped when they realised they were getting close........one embarrassed himself even more by starting on an Oxford fan in a wheelchair when he was getting led away.

The two pitch invaders were quality. You could actually see the exact moment they realised the stewards hadn't clocked them and if they wanted it they could have a free run at the front row. Big, massive, smelly brown patches all over their jeans. They were clearly relieved to finally be grabbed so they could finish their 'let me at them, I'll take them all on!' routine. Love it.

First 25-30 they edged it. Then we took over. They have some shit players. No.28 would've been booked for his swallow dive if the ref had been up with play. They were very light, with f*ck all of a midfield. We were getting the second ball all over the pitch while they made no effort to battle. We were stronger and more passionate and seemed to move up a gear in the second half. Well deserved, the best team won. They I think will struggle and are likely to drop. As far as the "Pride of the West Country"... I think you'll see more bottle at a Pride march. The ground is dire, I'm glad I'd had my tetanus and cholera jabs before going.

Oh yeah, 2,830 Oxford fans and the only programmes available were at the burger van. I expect they'll have a thousand or two of spare programmes. Where were the Swindon fans?.. Loads of empty seats.... But seeing as they are a shower of shit, I suppose it's expected

Best bits of the day for me....the two twats who wanted to take on 2,830 Oxford fans, but calling a halt to it when they realised they were about to get a spanking. Then the fat waddling clown, who went down like a sack of shit when the Steward saved him. The fact that the went one up.... One nil and you fkd it up Then Vicks-sinus getting sent off again.... But at the final whistle, Chris Maguire. It was brilliant, this guy could get the Pope to swing for him. Classic.

Checked my phone on 50 minutes and thought "Well, we just don't do form this season"
Checked my phone on 80 minutes and though "Well, I'd better get ready for the playoff final"
If we can just get past Boro this will be dreamland.

Just watched the highlights after a really enjoyable day out.
Looks like Vigouroux was unlucky to go for that challenge.
Obviously deserved to go for a hundred and one other reasons.......
Up the U's!

Bloody brilliant. 😀
I liked the way we saw the game out especially with the Swindon players losing their rag. Thompson lost it compl which was amusing to see.
What hell was that music selection before the game and at half time? Was it the Announcer's personal collection? Their flag before the game was hilariously awful.

For the first few months of the 2011/12 season I had to go to most Swindon home games to do match reports for national newspapers. I completely forgot about that ridiculous dancing bird. The music being naff is one thing but THAT? Jesus Christ. How do they live with themselves? How do they actually bring themselves to get out of bed and pay money towards something that embarrassing? As for the banner, I laughed myself silly when that appeared. Wasn't a patch on the beauty we served up for them last season, nor was it remotely accurate. You're lower in the pyramid than both Bristol sides, and Plymouth are a far bigger club. You're barely classed as West Country at all, lads. How pathetic that you can't even find a place in the world to call your own. God, today was beyond brilliant.

Swindon really have a stench of OUFC in the late 90s/early 00s. The road to nowhere, surviving on a shoestring, indifferent players and an owner that is not good. All OUFC fans must see what how well we are run when you see the mess Swindon are in. It's the first time in ages that the clubs are heading in different directions.

I am surprised how much Maguire got under their collective skins. The reaction of their captain after the game was a a gotcha, and the kid running on the pitch was another. What a ****house he is, but he's our ****house
