Match Officials TONY HARRINGTON Shaun Hudson and Andrew Fox Fourth Official : Rebecca Welch
Whoa,Whoa what’s going on ? One of the men named on Saturday has changed their name to that of a lady ? Just because your a fan of that great singer, actress and body builder Raquel Welch doesn’t mean to say you grow your hair and change your name. But then the back office non vaccined staff here at Swansea Independent did some research, our dated philosophy on men at football, our ill founded desire to exclude the lady from the game has been rumbled. Completely. Now, sit down, take a breath, Rebecca is a lady. Yes, a real lady. Not only that she comes in to the professional game that has men in it as a trailblazer for the lady.
Now let’s be serious you dog ends, Rebecca is now on the FA elite list and to be honest her performances are highly rated, not only that she has officiated u23 games, and gave out five yellows last time out. As a young ref making her way in the game we would just like to say, we are the team that got done out of a win at Rotherham a few seasons back so if you see Ryan Manning, punch him. Don’t take any lip off any of the Yorkshire accents behind you ( even though that’s where you come from ) and don’t be worried about any conflict of interest.

The biggest game of the day this Saturday for Rotherham and Swansea is the game between Rotherham and Swansea. Let’s take a look at the game even though it hasn’t been played yet.
Rotherham play on the west coast of the USA these days, they used to play at a place called Milmoor in Rotherham but the lure of the Yankee dollar and has changed the club completely. They now have nice seats and a red glow about the place. They also sell hot dogs, popcorn and all games now are split in to four quarters. Most of the people that go here to watch Rotherham don’t go anymore because of Covid-19 which isn’t a rugby score.
A game from the 17th January 1990 Lloyd Bracey ? There’s some fine old names here, Tommy Hutchinson, Paul Chalmers ( missing as usual ) Steven Thornber, Simon Davey, it’s a veritable football team full of names of football players.
Rotherham United Won 3-0 at Warnock’s Middlesbrough in the week by scoring three goals, that’s a lot of goals although Swansea did that there last season. When we say a lot of goals we mean more than one or two, so four, which is one more, is getting a bit high. Four would have been one more than three, but maybe not as good as three because that’s a crowd and four isn’t.

Rotherham are on what has been described as a resurgence, seven points from their last three games is good, very good, but not as good as nine. Swansea do seem to struggle at times when they travel to New York and recent results maybe reflect that. But they don’t. That 2-1 loss to Ryan Manning a few years back seems to be the only time the swans have played there which isn’t right, but it must be. So the swans have never won there, I’ll check that, I’m sure it’s right. Anyway Rotherham may as well chuck this game because the swans are pissed off after Wednesday night.
The first game between the sides was on December 8th 1951, yes that late in history for it to be almost recent. Swansea as expected won 5-0 in front of 11,500 spectators. They didn’t call them fans then, as that was a mechanical object used to circulate air or push things through pipes. Since then Swansea have won 28 games and Rotherham 25. Surprisingly, although - I wasn’t that bothered the sides have also shared 25 draws. In 1956 the swans won 6-1 at Rotherham. The Millers won games too, but we don’t talk about it. Apart from in that video from 1990 when we didn’t talk about it, the commentator did. And he was crap.
Rotherham United manager is Paul Warne who when it’s cold wears a big warm hat on his head. This is the best place to wear a hat although we are pretty certain other ways have been explored. When he tells his players off for being naughty or not listening Paul Warne’s them and then if they don’t listen he Warne’s them again.

FULTON should be the last to be benched seeing he is the only player we have prepared to dig in physically.Sadly,we see Grimes as THE man. Playing Grime and Hooli isnt going to work a they are so similiar. Shouldn't really be that hard to see but fans have their favourites and that clouds their judgement.
This game will be a dog fight and I am not in any way confident.
So, just to clarify, in your opinion, "Grime(s) and Hooli(Hourihane🇮🇪) isnt going to work a they are so similar" ...
Is that what your saying 🤔
You might think I've forgotten, but one day, when you least expect it, my time will come.

Watch Wdnesdays highlights Cabangos defending against the Brentfird goal scorer shocking..
So your favourites are beyond the treatment you give Cooper?
Nothing to do with Guehi walking away from the player he was marking, Bidwell running out to mark no one and Woodman's indecission ... watch it again Cabango, who was shadowing their 17, saw the threat and moved to the Brentford player but couldn't get in front of him. Whoscored ratings Latibeaudiere 6.85 Bennet - 7.09 Guehi - 7.08 Cabango - 7.20 Nothing to to do with favouritism just an appreciation of the role of CB. But hey ho Routledge was on the field to slate.

He's on ignore for me, something I've never felt the need to do before. It makes the site far more enjoyable.
See TJ I just can't put him on ignore, he's absolutely comedy gold, I'm drawn to his posts like a moth to a lamp, love him or loath him his views on life take me back to the good old days 🤣
" I came across Pippen and Tarquin this afternoon riding their horses on the fields above Toxteth this afternoon on my mid day stroll" or something like that 🤣
People like him should never be banned from any forum, ever. 🤡
