Official FA Cup Thread: Swansea v Nottingham Forest; Saturday 23rd Jan 2021; 3 p.m.

[Swansea Red]

It really is coming to something when boastful lying is considered a mental health problem.

I can confirm that it wasn’t mental illness, that was just standard behaviour for the locals

If it were, Keiths probably holed up in Broadmoor.

I’m not anxious to prolong this discussion and the general view here is that Willowjack got what he deserved.

But consider this. An opposition fan comes on to our Forum, lies and makes a fool of himself and is derided by our fans. Instead of leaving with his tail between his legs he keeps coming back for more. Does this look like normal behaviour?

My point is that what started off as good natured ribbing degenerated into outright bullying behaviour from our fans.

There is a stage with someone who is weak and deluded and clearly unable to defend himself that it is fair to pull back and stop kicking him.

That is the the point that I was trying to make . And why I don’t find the whole thing amusing.

Good lord above. I really think I need to leave the internet. Apparently people only act like utter knobs because of mental illness now...and taking the piss out of knobish behaviour is worse than behaving like a knob.

How is everyone's Friday evening going?

Bit crap to be honest. Friday evening is always pub time in my world.
I miss my drinking circle.

Running the risk of breaking dry Jan. I'm sure I won't though.

Cleared a load of crap out of the garage.
Sank into a bubbling hot tub.
Dined on chicken pie.
Now curled up on the settee with a drop of single malt, in front of a blazing log fire, watching "The Serpent".
So all is really good.
How about your Friday evening Mr Carlos?

Be a shame if he drowned.

I've just opened a can of Warsteiner after sitting on the balcony for a bit watching the world go by. Going to entertain myself by playing a spot of snooker before getting an early night. The pubs being closed may well be a good thing.

I think we may see a 4-4-2 tomorrow:

Smith.
Jenkinson, Mbe Soh, Worrall, Yuri.
Knockaert, Cafu, Sow, Mighten.
Taylor, Guerrero.

Yuri is banned so the Bong will be out for a trip

Does the ban apply in the cup? Couldn’t find confirmation anywhere.

[Harvey]

As I understand it yellow cards only apply in the competition they were given, whereas red cards apply across all competitions

[Harvey]

So as it was a straight red he's on a ban for Saturday

I might be mistaken though

The ever-changing rules are a ballache to keep up with.

Yeah the card ban rules were changed quite recently IIRC

[Green Jumper]

I believe bans only apply in the same competition in which they were incurred these days.

Yuri would be available tomorrow, but then be missing for 3 matches; assuming the standard violet conduct ban.

[congo_red]

Well that’s two different answers out of two already.

[Statto]

BBC say hes suspended...

[congo_red]

So, on that basis...I’d go with this line up:-

Smith

Jenkinson Figueiredo Worrall Bong

——————————-Mbe Soh Sow
Knockaert————-Cafu————- Mighten
-———————————-Taylor

Subs
Samba
Blackett
Christie
Bachirou
Freeman
Lolley
Ameobi
Grabban
Sanders

[Green Jumper]

Just looked it up: cumulative Yellow Card suspensions do not cross competitions, but a Red Card suspension will.

Thus it seems Yuri is suspended and Bong is likely to play.

[Dogtits]

They signed Jordan Morris on loan, decent little player from Seattle. Absolutely tore the San Jose Earthquakes to shreds in their 7-1 win against them.

Don’t think he’s available for this match.

[Carlos]

Not taking the piss but I reckon we could field 11 players from the forum in the MLS and bag a goal or 2.
