Not sure what game he was watching after reading that.

Few posts on twitter about some trouble from Swindon fans after the game? Any details?

The comments section makes a truer assessment.

After a waterlogged pitch midweek and constant rainfall prior to and during the match, I thought the pitch stood up really well to the conditions. Full credit to Gareth and his team.

What a clown. Must've been watching a different game to the rest of us. Even if the first wasn't handball, gotts was still fouled beforehand. As for the second, deluded. Better side? Right oh fella. Blame the ref, blame the pitch, blame the weather, the travelling. Not a word about the disgraceful harrasment of the officials all game, the constant diving and play acting or the way Barrow actually created more chances, kept the ball better and defended better. The only thing he got right is not getting a shot on target. Did hit the post though. But let's not let the actual events get on the way of a good whinge though.
Poor team, awful manager, tosspot group of wannabe hooligans causing trouble. their own fans were embarrassed by it. Feel sorry for the genuine fans of that's what they have to put up with from the manager and travelling idiots every week

Yep, seems like the Swindon fans are sick of him and his excuses. Much more reflective of actual events

There was no doubt about the first penalty - obvious from as far away as the Holker St End.

Yes, 1-0 away in 1967-68. In fact that is the only time we have beaten Swindon, until today!

An outstanding Fred Else display after a Jim Mulholland goal after only 7 minutes.

Oh I agree, just pointing out that any complaint is invalidated by the fact that it could have been given beforehand for the foul on gotts

"They've not had a shot on goal in the game, they haven't scored in their last six games and the referee gives them a penalty".

That has got to be one of the most stupid statements I've heard from a manager. Do I presume he means because we have not scored for 6 games we should not get a penalty?????

Like how he forgets about the two that barrow should have had in the first half

The way they swarmed around the ref at the end as well. Maybe they were asking why we only got 2 pens out of 4 good shouts?

There was no doubting the two pens given on the Quest highlights. Even the experts gave them.

It sounds like it's a common theme with him. Sounds like even Swindon fans are tiring of him blaming everyone and anyone when things don't go their way. I think he only had the coach driver left to blame tonight.
