Shame. Forum mods passed it as acceptable. And those who know FMS wouldn't make mistake it for disrespect.

I dont really want to ruin Mao's story as I love him a lot, but erm, when did 'respect' ever have any meaning in this sense in FMS? Dafty.

Thanks for all the nice replies guys.

A small punt on Swindon to win promotion was the last thing Kenny did before the season started, hey at 6 to 1 Kenny thought you would have to be crazy not to. When he returned to his office deep in the bowels of the main stand, he boiled a pot of water. ‘Damn all he had were bags’; he fumed, as he searched his cabinet for some loose leaf. When Kenny finished making his tea, he added a few drops of rum to it, to spice it up a little and sat down to reflect.

He had signed Andrea Valente, a diminutive Italian striker, and was still working on the details of Keith Andrews loan from Watford, which looked like it wouldn’t go through until after the home opener against Blackpool and maybe not even until after the midweek match against Oldham. Kenny had also hoped to lure another defender to the club, but had so far had two premiership youths turn down year long loans to Swindon.

-----------------------------------------------------

The home opener against Blackpool saw 9,251 swarm the County Ground to watch Sam Parkin’s second-half double fire Swindon past their northern rivals. Blackpool had the best of the early exchanges, but slowly Swindon started to take advantage of their midfield strength. In the second half Blackpool gave two half chances to striker Sam Parkin and the 23 year-old striker made them pay on both occasions. Sub Steven Hislop could have extended the lead to 3-0, but his shot bounced off the post and harmlessly out of play.

In the midweek match against Oldham, Sammy Igoe and Andrea Valente both earn their first starts for the club, as Kenny is forced to rest Stefani Miglioranzi and Sam Parkin. Again Oldham look dangerous early on, and in the 7th minute Jermaine Johnson (jumping 5 heading 7) beats Sean O’Hanlon (jumping 15) in the air to give the home side the lead. But under Kenny’s abusive instructions, Swindon start to turn the tide of the match and just before halftime O’Fallon has a great chance to pull them even, but his shot which beat the keeper whistles just wide of the post. Just after the restart, Alan Reeves does find Kenny the equalizer scoring with a header from a Robinson corner. Late in the match Swindon have two more splendid chances to snatch up a full three points, but on both occasions Fallon’s finishing isn’t up to par.

----------------------------------

Four points from the first two matches of the season has Kenny rather happy. He runs his fingers through his hair as he comments to reporters about how well he thinks his side has played in the first two matches, “with a little defending on set plays or finishing we could certainly be at the top of the league…”

He shakes his head slightly when reporters ask him about his plans to bring in a veteran defender, refusing to neither affirm nor deny the question.

Keith Andrews’ loan final goes through on Friday, and on Saturday he is being run out for his debut against . Parkin and Miglioranzi both return to the lineup. The first half was a pretty equal affair, with Rhys Evans and Neil Cutler both snuffing out several scoring opportunities by their opponents. The second half was totally different with Swindon dominating possession for long sways of the period. Time was winding down when Robins finally decided to end the doubt. Hislop’s long ball to a motoring Parkin was well controlled and Parkin wormed his way past two defenders to tuck the ball past Cutler and into the corner of the net. Steven Hislop almost scored the team’s second of the match, but Cutler was able to tip the ball over the post at the last second.

Bristol City’s Paul Hefferman, Tony Doherty, and Steven Booker were all victims of Rhys Evans’ great performance in goal, as Swindon Town netted their first road victory of the season. Doherty saw two point blank shots in a row be dugout by the young Welsh keeper, and Sam Parkin kept his fantastic eye in front of goal, scoring another brace to lead the Robins to victory.

---------------------

The victory against Bristol City had brought some fresh worries for Kenny who had saw three Southampton scouts huddling together after the match. He didn’t have to wonder long as to whom their target was, as the morning papers had Evans being linking with a move to Saints with a handful of other premiership clubs waiting to beat Southampton to him. Kenny knew that the young keeper was tied to the club for two more years and if he left it would be only for a windfall of cash, certainly more than enough to recruit a replacement.

While things were taking off in his professional life, it wasn’t as nice when it came to his personal one. He knew things weren’t going well with his longtime girlfriend, Sophie, but he was still stunned when she phoned him and said she was breaking things off. He knew that she was upset at his taking the Swindon job, but there was nothing that would prepare him for what she said:

“Kenny, I still love you, but I just don’t feel as passionate as I once did, so I think we should take some time off.” (Translation: she had another bloke at hand and the grass, or in this case ass, was always greener on the other side.)

He had spent several days following that trying to beg her to comeback, but her each rejection came back firmer and crueler. Finally one night Sophie and her new beau showed up at his new apartment to pick up her things he had kindly moved to Swindon for her in a rental truck. Sophie’s new man, Roy, was a complete wan-ker. He was better looking than Kenny, more fit, had a nice car (some fancy sports car), a better career (a banker), smarter with a good education, an Arsenal fan (didn’t I say he was a wan-ker), and probably was a better footballer as a youth too. But he was nice, and even tried to have a normal conversation with Kenny about football, which of course was about what a great player Thierry Henry was. (Wan-ker!)

As she left with what amounted to most of the furniture, Kenny vowed to get her back, then sat down on the sofa and had a nice healthy cry.

His managerial ability has no relavence. swearing adds nothing to ur arguement. Sort out ur argument m8. Its not malicious (the title). <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

It's nothing to do with the fact he's dead.....it's just disrespectful full stop.
Swearing doesn't add anything to my argument,no but I feel strongly about it so thats why I was swearing.Maybe it's because i'm a Forest fan,I don't know but I feel it is dis-respectful.If it was Alex Ferguson it would be funny,but not Cloughie.No way.

Hypocrite. It's all or nothing. You have just totally ruined your argument by stating that it would be okay to say the same thing about Alex Ferguson. That just proves that your argument is purely emotional and not logical.

Good start Mao. :thup: :cool:

Yeah,it would be OK to do Alex Ferguson(only when he's alive though) because I don't like the man.I feel everybody liked Brian Clough O.B.E and still do so.
