• 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

I've often wondered with these fines

Do the players/managers pay them direct or are they a deduction from wages or do the clubs foot the bill?

I’ve often wondered, why should he be fined for telling the truth? It was either a perfectly good goal or a penalty for us. There has to be an agenda there, so Mr. Cooper, in my opinion, was right. Another point, all the referees we have are English. Where are the Welsh referees, and if there were any, would they be allowed to officiate Swans matches? Would they be assumed to be biased towards a Welsh team?

That's where they have us over a barrel I think. We play in the English League. If we don't like it, we can play in the Welsh League, would be their answer. Though, Muteswan I agree with every word you say.
