A really decent vlog from a Swindon perspective, a couple of understandably bitter comments aside.

I didn't notice at the time because I was upside down in the Railway, but it looks like Harratt (I think?) goes straight for the Swindon end and 'machine guns' them after won. Proper beeline. Bang Bang. Final penalty starts at 14:38 if you want to see impressive pace from our injured players in suits.

I never had a problem with McKirdy's goading, so I really don't have an issue with this.

Harratt is going down as one of the greats for this. Top 5 Vale striker all time. Build the statue.

I'm glad the footage captured the number of projectiles that the Swindle fans were throwing.

I agree about McKirdy, I quite like his antics from an entertainment point of view and don't particularly have an issue with anything he did to wind up vale fans. I don't think he overstepped at all and the whole thing certainly added to the festivities especially given we won and he smashed his penalty into Stanfields. 
 
I've just watched the vlog too, pretty good from them really although there wasn't a great deal to spin in Swindon's favour but for the penalty appeal (which was a penalty for me in fairness).
 
What was interesting in that video though is where most of the bottles etc are being thrown from.  Let's not let Swindon play the victims over that. There's a vale vlog I watched this morning that shows similar too.
Not to use that as an excuse at all for the in each camp, anyone identified as doing it should be banned in my view, but on two videos I've seen now, the story that Swindon Town's placid and docile away end full of kids and elderly people were pelted with bottles by the big bad PVFC hooligans is simply not supported. If anything, there are more examples of the opposite.
 
McKirdys antics calling the Vale pig's his dismissive sneering after the first game along with Williams helped to raise the ante. As noted by Crosby after the game.

How anyone can defend that is beyond me, and thankfully we as a club have a bit more class about us.

I think Swindon are trying to will the ‘dirty, long ball’ tags into existence when in truth we are not dirty. I would say if we are, because we’re trying to win here, but I don’t think we are. Smith is frustrating and constantly on the wind up in a low-key way, but you can see some of the teams come to rough us up deliberately and I don’t think we do that.

If anything in recent months we’ve been crying out for a bit more steel and grit haven’t we!?

Imagine thinking a playoff semi final isn't going to be competitive! 😂😂

Distinct lack of chatter from them about their theatrics and embarrassing dives through the two legs! What a disgrace that Williams is!

Has anybody wondered about McKirdy's reaction to that penno? I just didn't get it....was he so embarrassed like a naughty kid that he laughed to hide it? Did he still think they'd win? I just don't understand a pro sportsman reacting like that to an absolutely awful attempt?

Anyrode, oh dear, what a shame, how sad, never mind........

I think he thought they would score the next one anyway and win so his miss didn't matter.

I think Smith proved last night a million times over that he is nowhere near a non league defender some seem to think,the lad was immense

He is a central centre half not on the right... play him where we should and hes immense.

I've spent the morning dipping in and out of the salt mine that is their forum. One of my favourite things to do after a particularly feisty win.

 

It's incredible. The entitlement has turned to rage. They think that they should have won the tie because well they're Swindon Town of course and they're seriously struggling to cope with the lesson their wonderful footballing team was taught last night.

 

The lack of self awareness is staggering. Some actually saying that they needed MORE protection from our players by the referees, that they should be sending photos of their players' ankles to the FA...I'm not joking by the way....they'll have to explain how their players are so good at diving that they can actually conjure up bruises despite there being no contact most of the time.

 

One guy turned on Swindon police because instead of dealing with vale fans they decided to film Swindon fans so that they could prosecute them for throwing bottles (I assume in self defence?! )

 

My favourite comment is the one who says "what goes around comes around". Well yes mate, it did come around didn't it? 

 

I know it's not very gracious in victory but honestly they can <ovf censored> themselves. Their whole club is gross and has been for years. I have absolutely no ill feelings towards Mansfield Town for example and seem to remember Clough was very dignified and complimentary in his comments towards us at vale park, a world apart from the absolute clown in charge at Swindon whose pre and post match comments are so delusional that his nearest and dearest should really be seeking medical advice for him.

 

Lastly, it has been said and obviously eveyone agrees that for anyone who has "attacked" a player or thrown things at the away end then they should be banned for life and the details passed onto the police. But forgive me for not immediately believing the word of a manager and a set of players who I've just watched for 210 minutes feign injury and lie about being physically fouled. 

The video from the sky coverage shows some unsavoury scenes where fans are pushing Swindon players but you can't really tell what is going on...it looks like a fan is on the floor in the middle of it and we don't know who assaulted who first.

I'll take their comments with a pinch of salt until more evidence comes to light or any club/police investigation has concluded. And believe me, there's <ovf censored> plenty of salt going around to pinch from!

 

In conclusion, <ovf censored> off Swindon Town, you got exactly what you deserved in that tie and outside of our local rivalries, there's no club who deserves to suffer a crushing defeat more than you.

 

Up the Vale.

 

Totally agree and the Swindon local rag's joining in now. Some picture of a bloke with a plaster on his nut [Covering a pretendy cut]. They are a sour lot.....
