Match Officials 🔴ANDY WOOLMER🔴 Lee Venamore and Nick Greenhalgh Fourth Official : John Busby
Yes it’s the first game officiating the swans that Andy Woolmer who Steve Cooper called out publicly for his integrity and decision making - after the home game against Sheffield Wednesday in November. Cooper was fined £3,500. Cooper publicly stated “ One thing was for sure, that whatever the decision was, it was not going to us," Cooper said after the game.
"It's personal unfortunately."
Now I don’t know about you but this buff nut shouldn’t be reffing any Swans game until the outcome of an investigation in to his conduct is made public, along with Cooper’s allegations also being made public. According to Cooper he is a dodgy referee who holds grudges and cheats. That’s the implication and it’s not been put to bed.
Andy Woolmer has a history of ‘questionable’ decisions against Swansea City
Well Andy boy, we will all be watching you, very closely indeed. No pressure, well, just a little bit. Or a lot, depends.
Steve Cooper Me and Marshy are going tooled up up for this one, no team talks, we are straight in to the back room of a local bar, then Rossi’s and we are sorted. Beaker wants to come as well but to be honest he’s all mouth and no trousers, had his chance to join the crew last year but bottled it on the touch line. Marsh is from Liverpool, so his mate Stanley is coming a long, he’s a sharp geezer is Stan, he can be cutting at times but always leaves his mark. If needs be we will double him up with his brother. Me and Marshy have been about, India with the boys 2017 is a memorable one. Listen, I’m not going to play games here, but it’s personal.
Cooper giving it the big one on the streets of Mumbai
Now this conversation concerns us, if it happened, when things happen then they should be concerning, however, being concerned about this conversation is all about it happening, if it did. You decide, we just make the tea, you pour it.
Swans v Coventry head to head Games won: 9 Games drawn: 9 Games lost: 13
The last time the swans lost to Coventry was Oct 1981 at Highfield Road, old people will remember this game. The last time the swans lost at home to Coventry was January 1951. Even older people and some dead ones will also recall this game.
Morris and Bennet out on weds
Cooper on Cov - “They’re a team that’s stuck with and trusted the way they got promoted from League One with last season, and I have a lot of respect for that. They have a very experienced manager, an experienced assistant manager and we know it’s a game we’ve absolutely got to be ready for. But we will be. We’re at home, we’re starting this spell of playing every three or four days, and it’s about survival of the fittest and the toughest as well, both physically and mentally. We are looking forward to these games. We were really disappointed with the result at the weekend, but that happens. You have to deal with it and move on."
Richard Duffy the former Swansea man rose through the ranks in South Wales breaking onto the scene as a fresh-faced schoolboy and making his debut for the Swans in December 2001 aged 16 against Macclesfield. However, Duffy would be kept out for over a year through injury, returning back to the side at the start of the 2003-04 season and quickly becoming a regular in the Swans side making 22 appearances.
The Welsh youngster quickly attracted interest from higher leagues, and it was Premier League outfit Portsmouth who won the race for his signature, with the defender swapping South Wales for the South coast in January 2004. A short loan move with Burnley preceded multiple successive loan spells with the Sky Blues. Duffy arrived at Coventry on loan in January 2005 as Micky Adams’ first signing, going on to play 15 games as City narrowly avoided relegation. He returned to the Midlands for the entirety of the next season, playing a key role in the upturn of fortunes and then returned the next season on a short loan until January 2007. He spent the second half of the 2006-07 season back with Swansea making 12 appearances, however this would be the final time Duffy would wear the Swans colours making 35 appearances across his two spells. The Welshman returned to Coventry for his last and fourth successive season but would only make a couple of appearances as injury would end his season soon after arrival. Duffy departed the Sky Blues at the end of the season playing 64 times across the four loan spells.
There are very few links between the sides bar David Smith who played for the swans in 2002/03 season and Barry Powell back in the early seventies.
However - The flying postman and Cian Harris would disagree. But they can’t, because they are not here.

You was saying?
Got to say, its a hard watch at the moment, well it was before the goal

Hourihane could have scored a hat-rik and I'd stand by what I said. We do not play well when he's in the team. It has been evident in every game he's played.

Signing Hourihane might well cost us automatic promotion. We're better off without him.
With respect, what a curious statement!
Hourihane has saved our bacon in several games, either by scoring or assisting with a goal. The worst game he’s had was against Huddersfield and even then he scored. Tonight so far he’s contributed an assist for the goal. Goals matter in football you know.
There’s lots of reasons why we may not make automatic promotion, but to attribute it to Hourihane is well .....curious!

That was a bit more like it Jamal mun!
We & he have been better this half but whilst our attempts on goal are improving we still miss the target a lot - Hourihane aside we need to work the opposition keeper a lot more if we want an automatic spot.

The win was more important than the performance there. Job done.
We were awful for the first half hour or so but fwiw I thought overall that was a slight improvement in terms of performance. Certainly created more than we have done last couple of games.

Thank goodness for that! We were poor in the last ten minutes sitting far too deep and gifting Coventry a succession of half chances. A better team would have capitalised.
