Ian Holloway vows to 'hunt down' Swindon fan who threw CHAIR at Walsall goalkeeper
Swindon boss Ian Holloway was left fuming following an incident in his side's defeat to Walsall that saw a supporter throw an object in the direction of an opposition player Ian Holloway has vowed to hunt down the Swindon fan who threw a chair at Walsall's goalkeeper in their opening match of the League Two season. The Robins fell to a 2-1 defeat after Connor Barret scored a 91st-minute winner despite the Saddlers only having 10 men on the field. The closing stages of the game at Bescot Stadium saw shot-stopper Myles Roberts go down with a calf issue. And in response to that, an object was thrown from the crowd towards the downed keeper. Goalscorer Barrett handed the object to the referee and now an investigation will be conducted by both teams into a number of incidents which occurred. Swindon boss Holloway was incredulous following the incident and appeared to suggest it was part of the stadium's seating that was thrown in Roberts' direction. The ex-Blackpool and QPR boss called upon those around the perpetrator to come forward as he aims to hunt down the aggressor. "I am a human being who loves this game but I also love other human beings," said Holloway. "I am here to represent my wonderful football club in a way that is courteous in defeat – tenacious as well, I want to fight for things, but you don't rip out a seat and throw it at someone. "I wouldn't want Walsall thinking that about all of us, so anyone stood next to them, I want them dobbed in because that's not right. "These people creep into football and no one does anything about it. I am standing up for Swindon Town, a magnificent club and we don't want anything to do with this. "Whoever you are, you should be ashamed of yourself. I am going to hunt you down and find you." Holloway added that he was disgusted his side's supporters had acted in such a manner. The veteran manager wants to see the person banned if they are identified. "Well done to them (Walsall) I thought their crowd was great. Disgusted with our crowd throwing something on the pitch. "Who the hell do you think you are? You represent us and you represent me - how dare you do that. That's absolutely disgusting, so I hope whoever that was gets banned." Swindon noted they were aware of a 'number of serious incidents' during the game. That included 'the use of pyrotechnics, objects being thrown, abuse directed at stewards, staff, players and match officials, as well as damage caused to property within the stadium'. "This behaviour has absolutely no place at our football club or in the wider game," the Robins said. "Let us be clear: any individuals found to have engaged in such actions will face the strictest possible sanctions, including banning orders and legal action where appropriate."

'It was like going back in time to last season'
We asked for your views on Kilmarnock 2-2 draw against what some of you said: John: It was like going back in time to last season, come on Killie get it sorted out before it becomes normal to throw away points. It stops now, no more A good first half performance but a disappointing second half. The red card and penalty made a big difference, however, Killie were on the back foot most of the second half. There are some positives but the overarching feeling is that we still have work to do and we need more cover defensively!Amy: It was a clear penalty and a sign of inexperience from George Stanger. What's more worrying is the manager's in-game changes. Taking off Marcus Dackers who was holding the ball, taking off Tom Lowery who keeps possession, bringing a new signing out the cold into left back - that's more concerning than anything for Very disappointed to only draw the game. For all their possession Livi didn't create many chances. The game turns on the penalty. A very frustrating result but we did well in the first half and scored two good goals. I feel we need to beef up the central defence and New season, new manager, some new players in, yet once again it's the same as last season on too many occasions, another red We had a good five minute spell in which we scored two goals but overall Livi were the better team, even before we went down to ten. Our lack of depth and quality was cruelly exposed and Livi's recruitment looks better than ours. Lewis Smith's impact from the bench was far better than anything we could produce and, goalkeeper apart, we look much weaker than last season. You can't ask for a better opening game than against the second promoted team at home, and they bossed us.
