• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

To be fair Gary Moore wasn't at his best with us.
Much better player when he was with Thin Lizzy.
Talking of Gary Moore, it would have been his 74th birthday today.

To be fair his goal in a 1-0 win v Huddersfield in the late 70s was a thing of beauty as was his celebration. If I recall, after sending in a piledriver from at least 20 yards, he ran towards the Open Bank who had been chanting his signature tune "Gary Moore, he can't score" (repeated), flicking the V's and screaming obscenities.

Ah, the good old days again, in my view better than anything he did with Lynott's crew.

That was an eye-opener yesterday. Idah looked really good in his cameo.
This opens up a fantastic opportunity for us to potentially cash in on VIP, bringing in a cheaper striker as competition, and then invest in the areas of the team that are desperate.
If we start next season with Burgess, Ronald, no right back. We will be negligent.
 
Hopefully we will keep Vipotnik for next season but we mustn't forget we also have Bobby Wales waiting in the wings.

If you think a player who has zero starts, zero assists and zero goals at a League One side is adequate depth.. then I think we differ.
Bobby has some potential - but in 10 games he has started on the bench 10 times and has played only 12% of available minutes.
Looking forward, I am way more excited to see Lissah compete with Key at RB and Congreve compete with Ronald at RW.
I am also getting increasingly concerned about Burgess (and to a lesser extent Cabango). He has become a high wage liability.
