comment on the article

congratulations to havant &..... today,you played abetter than a few league one teams this season and some of your players would easily get into their teams.youve brought the third best crowds down to the liberty this season and were vocal throughout.as far as the game is concerned,i dont no understand how we can have 25 shots,hit the bar 4 times, run you ragged the whole game and still dont win...but hey thats the magic of the FA Cup.
BUT...this fixture pile up seems to be mounting up and up and up, if I were martinez I would play our youth against brighton on tues and get out of the stupid JPT straightaway.then we only have two rearranged games at bristol and carlisle and then the league title is ready to be fought for.Jack Army!!!!!

Daggyjack I am try to act as unbias as I can yet I struggle to be able to congratulate H&W for anything. They played like half wits, no skill or talent just pure bad boy tactics, they should be thrown out for their behaviour along with Atwell.

Its disgracefull, get rid of that ref and stop teams like H&W getting away with such awful tactics/violence.

Really chaps.

Was it the ref who hit the bar 3 -4 times?

Nope. Thought not.

If your "professional" players had kept their cool at the sending off, we'd be out by now. As for the clogger thing?

How very dare you! winkeye

Colonelhawk if you want to beat them next time, just play the same way! You have the beating of this overrated embarrassment of leek munchers!

Come on Havant and Waterlooville! all right thinking Englishmen want you to batter them. It is The English Cup after all!

ok

Stop complaining people. Swansea could not defeat Havant and Waterlooville - end of story.

Congrats and looking forward to the replay.

I couldn't really give two hoots whether we win or lose, but I can't be doing with teams who come down specifically to kick lumps out of us and timewaste from the first minute. That's just dangerous and it's not what football is about. I'd rather Havant had won 10-nil rather than us having to risk outr proper players who can actually kick a ball and demean ourselves playing again against this bunch of non-footballers. Absolute disgrace the way they approached the game.

Now you are just being silly.

Timewasting? Must have missed that - was too busy watching your lot waste chances. Can only waste time when you have the ball surely.

Proper players, as you somewhat patronisingly call them, would not have bothered to run half the length of the pitch to start windmilling arms around AFTER the ref had shown a red card.

Go on. Admit it; you're embarrassed really aren't you!? Should have won easily but didn't. smiley

ColnelHawk, as a quick glance at my previous posts on the subject will tell you, I'd rather your team had beaten us and taken us out of the cup so we could focus on promotion. We spent 90 minutes playing against a team of people who had come specifically to try and kick us to bits. Fair enough be proud of the result (although if you are proud of the display I would ask yourself some questions as to whether football is really your game).

Embarrassed? The more this charade goes on the more the game refered to in the press etc and the more we are referred to as "League ONe leaders Swansea". I quite like that.

And your level of pride at BOTH clubs being charged with failing to control players??

Most Swans fans I met and talked to over the weekend seemed to agree with you that you would rather gain promotion than have to worry about the cup - and I sincerely do hope you succeed too, for all the right reasons.

I do struggle to understand though why I was not engaged in debate about our side seeking to kick lumps out of your lot for 90 minutes while I was in the city - and I promise you, every single Swansea fan I met shook my hand, said well done and if there was a grumble it was simply that your team had not performed on the day. That was it. Why was that do you think?

lol i didnt see it, so i dontknow, but were Havant and W really *that* bad????

I live in waterlooville lol, so they are literally the most local club i have. can imagine they would be dirty (only seen them a few times and theydidnt seem too bad tho) as the area can be rough
