• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

    Your First Ever Game At The Vetch !?

    Port Vale 1967. 2-1. On the old East terrace, railway sleepers ! Could hear the roar from the North Bank. Hooked. Over there for the rest of my time at the Vetch Side note - my first game, plus first encounter with football hooligans. Port Vale lot there, nasty bunch. An eye opener but...

    JackArmy.net - Twenty-Five Years And Out

    Yes, in fairness, relatively sane is a legitimate comment - the X lot plumb further depths.

    JackArmy.net - Twenty-Five Years And Out

    Ok, poisonous may be too harsh, but a reasonable alternative might be hostile or scathing. These terms describe hurtful, malicious, or damaging remarks intended to cause harm, embarrassment, or discomfort. Banter on the other hand is the playful, friendly, and witty exchange of teasing remarks...

    JackArmy.net - Twenty-Five Years And Out

    As an occasional poster here in recent years, I dropped out a short while ago because of the increasing poisonous nature of some posters. But I've popped back in now just to say a huge thank you to Phil, and his team, for an incredible job over the last 25 years.

    League Cup Final

    It was - in such a weird way. Beforehand we were anticipating high balls and physical battles in the box. Anything could have happened was the worry. But after the first 10 mins or so you could see we were in total control. Big Wembley pitch, classic Swansea Way passing etc. Then after the...

    Radio Wales after the game

    Most summers are the same. We get lots of new names in. Hopes are raised. But names mean diddly-squat without quality. Yes we have to wait for end of season analysis, but we can all usually spot good-uns early on (eg Galbraith/Stamenic) or the "others" as may be politely described. Overall it...

    Grimesy’s Reception?

    He's bound to score with all that barracking. I'll predict around , say, 38th minute ?🤔

    Grimesy’s Reception?

    I'm not disagreeing about the captain and January window stuff ( though we did get £4m+ and got rid of someone holding us back/ boring the shit out of us 🤔) ....but as Monmouth says, beat them is the no.1 priority. Barracking him is not going to put him off but will also make his teammates try...

    Joel Piroe

    Here's an answer. If everyone put him on ignore, he'd just be arguing with himself. Though come to think of it, that's probably what he does anyway to keep in training for this Board 😊 I'm just glad I don't have to read anything from him anymore. A medal and thanks to the person who invented...

    Grimesy’s Reception?

    How about we sing sod all about him at the beginning and during the match. Silence (to him) will speak volumes. And when we win, then give him a wedge of "Grimsey, Grimsey what's the score" Barracking him during the match is just inviting karma. In any event it's our own team who needs vocal...

    Zan Vipotnik Contract

    It'll be great if Vip signs new. For one it'll mean stability and goals, and two, if later he does decide he wants to go ( hopefully after maintaining goal stats), then maybe an even bigger transfer fee.

    Zan Vipotnik Contract

    I've had a few run ins with this guy of late. Why am I not surprised there are others out there. I've described him as THE Mr Passive-Aggressive and "Last Word Smurph". I guess that's overly polite of me 😊 I'd never thought of putting him on ignore - but hey that makes so much sense. I'll join...

    The Season’s Conclusion

    I think Smurph is the master of passive-aggressive. 😊. Or otherwise known as "Last Word Smurph". But hey, it's all opinions

    The Season’s Conclusion

    . Yep. Like pretty much all posters on this Board. You included. That's why it's a Fans Forum and not the minutes of Board meetings 😊

    The Season’s Conclusion

    Me, "more than likely though" in my view. I hope I'm wrong. What do you think ?
