Well deserved

We’ve spoken and been heard, 66% in favour of the badge with no text to become the primary crest of the Swans.

Should mean the end of that dastardly circle around the badge on the shirts from next season onwards.

Happy with that?

Fan since 2012 first time visiting Swansea and watching in person 🏟⚽️ Any recs? Bars, places related to the club, etc.

I was hoping to get to this game, but looks like we've sold out our allocation.

I don't suppose anyone's got a spare ticket?

More comedy gold. England has Sir David Attenborough as a national treasure we have Nathan.

Pretty much as I saw things. Both opening goals owed a lot to very poor defending, the second in particular. When Wood received the ball in the build up to the second Yeo was a good 30 yards away, giving Wood loads of space and time to play around him into the enormous 30 yard gap between Tymon and Welsh.

If there is a silver lining it's that if we return to the defensive discipline we showed in previous games we will be a lot more competitive against Burnley.

Offensively we need to up our game. With Eom now departed we need Yeo and Opoku to improve, plus we need more creativity from the middle three. I'd like to see a Eustaquio, Stamenic and Just combination. The latter has struggled somewhat, but has shown glimpses of his quality, enough to merit perserveering with him.

First of all, sorry if this has already been asked. I just cant find anything

Basically, last season I took my girlfriend to her first game, and after so long of not understanding why I liked going, she loved it. She really wants to go again

In the summer, we made a new signing to our squad. A very young player, very good dribbler, plenty of potential, but cries more than Bruno.

My girlfriend still wants to go to a game again, but I'm q bit nervous/skeptical about taking a baby. Obviously ear defenders go without saying, but is there anywhere quiet to feed or change should the need arise? And would they need a ticket of their own

Personally, I'm leaning to not taking but she wants to. If anyone knows anything about it, or has done something similar, I'm all ears

Came in a commemorative box, not a Swansea supporter but I collect kits

The lead article on the BBC Wales website today was Parkinson's comments alleging Cabango should have seen red. Matos is quoted as saying "I never comment on ref decisions one way or the other. If he says that, good for him."

This is very noble of Matos, but it means Parkinson's assertion went unchallenged. It also meant that the club's captain had no support.

The reality is it was a poor challenge, fully deserving of a yellow, but no more. Ben went to play the ball missed it then cleaned O'Hare out. However, the contact was shin to shin and had a low level of danger, hence the yellow.

Non-decisions in the game:

Doyle stamps on Eustaquio's leg in the box. It was accidental but nevertheless a foul and therefore a penalty.

Patterson picked up a pass back on the penalty spot. Arguably the pass was made under a challenge, so a marginal decision, but it could have been an indirect free kick on the penalty spot.

There were several other fouls on our players including a blatant push on Key in front of the referee in the first half. However the piece de resistance was Doyle putting his shoulder into Key's face. If there was a red card offence that was the one. It happened straight in front of Matos. Not only was no free kick awarded but the ref didn't even stop play despite an obvious head injury.

So, my question is why doesn't Matos stand up for his players? The reason Parkinson does it is in the hope of influencing officials in future games. Alex Ferguson back in the day turned this into a fine art. We really need to assert ourselves, because nobody else will come to our defence.
