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

From my memory it was done away with at the end of last season when we were sent emails advising us to use any points we'd collected. Season tickets need to become a lot more attractive to potential buyers and supporters. I'm sure many other clubs offer decent reward programmes for season...- BendJack

Inevitable, really. Owners should really be competence tested before they're allowed to buy football clubs. We've certainly had our share of incompetent asshats.- BendJack

Sheehan On Borrowed Time?
Completely agree. We need to get back to basics -- like getting the ball forward and into the opposition goal! Sheehan must surely see this!- BendJack

S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 0 QPR 1 | Att: 14,254 | 22/10 | The EFL Championship | Swansea.com
The international breaks straight after the transfer window have severely hindered progress, massively. However, we all saw that Sheehan had the formula nearly there! The team were playing to win, with confidence. Now it's just flat and frustrating! I'm not on the 'Sheehan out!' bandwagon...- BendJack

I'll just assume the whole team is still, mentally at least, still on international duty...- BendJack

I miss this era, immensely.
We need to see this ruthlessness again in the team. A fearlessness. A brilliance.... Constantly forward, attacking play. I feel optimistic that we can achieve great things with the team we have today. However, we need to see much improved physicality and an opportunistic, predatory mindset...- BendJack

I miss this era, immensely.
Great video here. Shows what the club could achieve and what we should be targeting, again. Michu was clearly our black sheep scoring machine, but the team as a whole under Laudrup, were a much more attacking, opportunistic force to be reckoned with. It's still hard to believe we had him for...- BendJack

Stop expecting perfection from us - top referee

Stop expecting perfection from us - top referee
You're clearly confused, friend. Re-read my post where I said there will always be some who want to vent. This could happen to anyone, retail staff, hairdressers, cleaners... If someone is having bad day since week takes it out on everyone - referees included.- BendJack

Stop expecting perfection from us - top referee
No. You're conflating. What I said was, off supporters can see the referees officiating well then the reasons for abuse go down. It's simple cause and effect. I didn't say you would see it end completely - many people like to vent, of course. However, if you give someone less reason to believe...- BendJack

Get competent referees into the game and you'll see the rate of abuse they receive go down. Sure, the players and supporters of a team being penalized won't be happy but the visible rise of quality will be noticed by everyone, eventually. They'll be seen a lot less as spineless idiots if they...- BendJack

Another gutless performance
I'll just assume there's a 'comprehension' issue here - afterall, I'm using a cellphone to post these comments and I'm certainly no cellphone Shakespeare. Either that or you have a propensity to exaggerate outcomes to better suit your argument. You see, I am calm. It's easier and more...- BendJack

Another gutless performance
Why can't we model a European-esque playstyle? We played more aggressively under Brendan Rodgers and got promoted! Stop conflating what I'm saying... I'm not saying we should play FOR European football... I'm saying we should play fast, flowing, FORWARD ATTACKING football. Stop being so...- BendJack

Another gutless performance
How am I "moaning"? Isn't this a forum?... For dialogue on subjects? We're not always going to agree on everything... I don't expect you to - but let's not pretend it claim I'm "moaning" about a thread I started for the purposes of discussion. I feel we need to be more cutthroat about our...- BendJack

Another gutless performance
It seems to be a sad reality here... Criticism, regardless of how constructive it is (or the positive intent behind it) just results in one of three responses here:- 1) Childish name calling and insults by certain cliques. 2) Blanket denial (Everything is just peachy, apparently!). 3) A...- BendJack

Agreed. These changes are needed now though if we are to succeed... It will take time to implement this and make it second nature to the squad.- BendJack
