SWINDON TOWN: Foderingham makes apology to fans

Wes Foderingham Wes Foderingham

WES Foderingham has apologised to Swindon supporters for his reaction to being substituted midway through the first half of the 4-1 defeat at Preston yesterday.

The Town goalkeeper lashed out at a water bottle as he marched off the pitch having been withdrawn by manager Paolo Di Canio.

The matter is now resolved, with Foderingham saying he was in the wrong.

“Having already spoken to the manager and my teammates following Sunday’s game at Preston, I would like to apologise to the Swindon supporters for my actions,” he told the club’s official website.

“I was frustrated with myself in the heat of the moment and the disappointment of being substituted so early in the game.

“I appreciate the time, money and effort that Swindon Town fans spend to watch us play across the country and I hope they would agree that I’ve always given 100 per cent.

“I have always appreciated their support and it goes without saying that I will continue to always give my all for Swindon and I know I can rely on the fans for their continued support.

“I will always be grateful to the manager and Swindon Town for giving me the opportunity to play first team football and I would never take that for granted.”

Foderingham also praised debutant Leigh Bedwell, who came on to replace him.

“Bedders has always worked hard and despite the circumstances, I was delighted to see him make his first senior appearance,” he said.

“On reflection I should have shaken his hand when I came off but we’ve trained together on Monday and we will continue to help each other out.”

And we will always appreciate your effort and our luck for having such a great goal keeper.

My support for PDC and Swindon Town is the same as it was.

Throughout a loss, we should all take it together, no team will go all season without a loss, it may be a good thing for everyone to have a bad game together, now let's hope the next ten games we can all have a good game :)

Well done Wes, another reason you should be called up for England!

Wes your a top man , not many real fans of the club required an apology from you , you have done the club proud with your record since you have been here , long may it continue hope the matter is now put to bed forever . Any keeper is prone to a mistake ask Pepe Reinea Liverpool's NO 1 after yesterdays howler

I cannot believe everyone is excepting this totally unexceptable behaviour just because he's said sorry .As a professional he should be acting in a professional manner at all times when in the public eye,its now being shown all over the news and it's the sort of behaviour you see on a Sunday morning down at seven fields,I hope they disapline him by the way of a big fine or community service then the next time he sees red he might think twice.

Community service? He would need to be hauled in front of a bench for that. He's been fined, he's apologised, time to move on.

Wes, you are very talented footballer and you have, rightly, earned the respect and support of the Town fans. Your future is bright and I hope you go on to great things. Your reaction to being subbed was, imo, understandabe, if inappropriate, and I for one cannot condemn you for that ('people, including Paolo, in glass houses should not throw stones). I think that we all need a reality check sometimes and not allow ourselves to believe our own hype, and I am convinced that was the mindset of the manager when he dragged you off.
There is something special happening at Swindon and all of us are lucky enough to be part of it. It is a rocky and crazy ride at times but our club is on the map for the first time since the 90's and that is largely down to the unique character and charisma of our manager. Do I agree with everything he does? No! Do I believe he is the most passionate and comitted manager we have ever had? Yes!
Be true to yourself Wes and maybe think what you might be if you weren't a footballer idolised by the STFC fans. Stay with the Town and the adrenalin ride that is the Paolo roller-coaster. It may be rocky at times but it's a hell of a rush!!
Well done for the humility and maturity you have shown and remind us all (against the Pox?) why we believe you are a great talent

He only apologised because pablo told him to or or wouldn't play again at Swindon don't you watch the news.for me he should be apologising to his manager and the rest of the squad not doing it in public that just adds fuel to the fire for the media.Lets forget wes and move on if Swindon loose on wednesday we will be the laughing stock,and based on Sunday's performance it's looking very likely.

I don't think he should have apologised to anyone, it was the manager that should have controlled his anger and boll%cked him 'after' the game. Just wanted to thank Wes for turning the other cheek.

As far as I am concerned he has nothing to apologise to the fans for. What for? Letting in a goal? Kicking over a water bottle?

Paolo might not have been happy with his reaction, but I doubt if the water bottle had remained bolt upright that we would have gone on to win the game.

We fans had better brace ourselves for an avalanche of apologies this season if this is the qualifying standard!

HA HA listen to yourself mate, community service, he didnt break the law lol hes said sorry and that is the end of it lets forget about it as it will ruin the season!!!! if i was gettin jeered by 10,000 people id probably get very hyped up too, what he did was wrong but it happens emotions run high in football but he had the balls to say sorry. Fair play wes hope you will come back stronger from this mate. and people who slated PDC shame on you!!! hes the manager he knows what he is doing and the players like it or not have to respect his decisions.

Paolo should remain as long as possible, he's great for the club and also for non-Premiership football. He is entitled to sub a player in the first minute if he wants to.

Cheers Wes, but no apology needed - you can usually be counted on to put in a decent shift - we all have bad days at the office.

I hope this apology doesn't turn people's attention away from the fact that dicanio behaved unacceptably and came across as a rambling, insane egomaniac on the radio afterwards. If we don't watch out, the ego that will damage this club will be PDCs. He stripped cads of the captaincy Infrint of the whole team, and now rips into another of our best players on live radio.

I was one of the town fans who was dubious about dicanio because of his politics, but I quickly bought into the PDC dream last season. But recently, I've realised that the good times with PDC are great, but the bad times will be a fcucking headache.

He sometimes comes across as so spoilt and dictatorial, and I think fans, chairman and players are sometimes afraid to call him on his worse decisions because they know he'll throw a wobbly. Not even PDC is above criticism, but too many walk on eggshells around him because of his volatile temperament and ego.

Anyway, rant over. I remain 100% behind the team and will be making the trip to watch us thump the scum on weds!

I've just watched Paulo being interviewed today by Sky, he is not happy about the criticism from Swindon fans and offered them their season ticket money back; but he also said "sooner or later, probably sooner, Swindon will have a new manager"! To all you idiots who have been complaining about what happened, when we then slip back to obscurity again I just hope you will all be happy!!!

He sometimes comes across as so spoilt and dictatorial, and I think fans, chairman and players are sometimes afraid to call him on his worse decisions because they know he'll throw a wobbly. Not even PDC is above criticism, but too many walk on eggshells around him because of his volatile temperament and ego.

Anyway, rant over. I remain 100% behind the team and will be making the trip to watch us thump the scum on weds!
Well said Jon. You summed up my feelings about the whole sorry affair. Supported STFC for over 50 years and will be there for a long time to come. I do not need to be told to move to Oxford for disagreeing with the manager. I am and will be STFC no matter but I am allowed an opinion.
As for Wes, you hold the moral high ground with me sir. Well done.

He only apologised because pablo told him to or or wouldn't play again at Swindon don't you watch the news.for me he should be apologising to his manager and the rest of the squad not doing it in public that just adds fuel to the fire for the media.Lets forget wes and move on if Swindon loose on wednesday we will be the laughing stock,and based on Sunday's performance it's looking very likely.
Despite the nonsense of your earlier posts and the fact that you don't know your Paolos from your Pablos you do make a couple of valid points:- he had to aplogise or he had no future at STFC PdC made that abundantly clear-and yes I think he should say sorry to his team mates although from those at the game Wes was hardly the only one guilty of an inept performance so perhaps a team sorry all round is due. For me it is here where AM earns his corn as captain - get the lads together impress on them the need for unity and remind the lads we owe Oxford one -not that I'll be phased one iota if we lose a meaningless game.

Definitely time to draw a line under another unsavoury incident and lessons to be learned for all - from his interview on Sky tonight the Mount Etna volcano that is Paolo is not for moving -his way or the highway to players and fans alike back me and my ethos of the way I want to do things or get a refund on your season ticket/go watch Oxford. He couldn't have made it any plainer so while I hope this is the last of the spats between manager and players I wouldn't bet on it!

Tell me this do you really want to go back to the days of clueless Malpass or the latter half of wilsons reign no discipline no respect for club or fans drinking cultures Dopey hart anti tactics playing for a point at home to walsall when we needed wins to stay up? Ask yourselves is that what you want???
do yourselves a favour and look on youtube at the end of the stoke game and you will see what STFC means to PDC i for one will never forget the passion and pride he has brought back to my club and the belief he installs in me that we can go on up the leagues. yes he wears his heart on his sleeve but he tells us how it is. I love Wes but he was out of order and according to talksport on twitter he is a real big head and needed to be brought down a peg or two, if you went to preston you could see he was ignoring pdc and blaming the defenders for his mistakes pdc warned him told him to calm down he ignored it and we went 2 -0 down so pdc subbed him. we do not moan if we sub an outfield player for being awful do we we scream to have him taken off so what makes a goalie any different? So to all you anti pdc brigades i shall say only this i hope you will all be proud of yourselves when we are back in league 2 cause you will only have yourselves to blame.

You're nuts, everyone has the right to show there feeling when they get sub, he's not the first and won't be the last to walk straight down the tunnel. I remember W.Rooney getting subbed by Alex.F in a big game cos he was below par, and he stormed off the pitch. ANd what about Robben in the last Euro's, he walked around 3 sides of the pitch when he was subbed & slumped into the dugout with a proper hissy fit. You don't give these players a big fine.. that won't encourage them to play better.

Check out the interview Jock on YouTube, he definitely said we may have a new manager sooner rather than later. He obviously feels let down by a lot of fans reaction to his decision to sub Wes, if Wes had just gone off calmly and sat in the dug out most probably all this furore wouldn't now be happening? It has all be blown out of proportion by people who didn't even go to Preston but just read the sensational garbage of the Press!

Wes has apologised unreservedly to his team mates first, in particular Bedwell for not showing respect. Respect being something Paolo places great store on.

As he says why don't the supporters back him on this? He's clearly made his point. As i suggested over drink gate and Caddis gate he's prepared to lose battles to make us stronger and win the war. Yes it's not how everyone would do it but he's set his stall by it.

It's my opinion that those who feel upset about the Oxford jibe should not take it so seriously. If you really don't like the manager or are not prepared to back him perhaps it would be best to take a sabbatical and "support" the Town from a far and take his money in exchange for your season ticket?

Don't agree. He's not bigger than the club. Simple as that.

No-one is talking about a return to the old days and the drinking culture but there are a number of good managers who would be happy to inherit a good squad and a Board with the ambition to rebuild the CG.

I for one ain't going to be told what to think and just because people criticise Paulo's behaviour doesn't make them disloyal or unambitious for the club.

Paulo has done some good things here and at times provided top class entertainment. As for his approach to man management, the big question is whether it's sustainable or not.

Obviously, none of us know what's gone on behind the scenes today to sort this out but I read with interest Wray's press release over the Caddis affair. I didn't get the impression he was entirely happy with that and wonder if he's happy with this one?

Wez has apologised what Paolo asked for end of.

Lets fill the Poxford away end with Red & White and get behind Paolo and the team and beat the scum.

Just remember what crap managers we have had defore PDC.

His passion is immense he is still a young Manager but you cant knock what he has acheived so far.
He has a discplined stucture at the club and wants his players to give 110% all the time.

Malpas, King, Wilson i can go on we need Paolo so lets get behind him.
A really bad day at the office on Sunday so lets move on.

Come on You Reds!!!

Excellent post Cookie -and cheers Laz I wasn't questioning that he'd said it but meant or not the complete fanbase should take note - Pdc doesn't need STFC but boy do they need him! - Cookie's words are enough to make anyone shudder - the very thought of a return to a manager along the lines of McMahon, King, Malpass, or Wilson don't bear thinking about.
Don't agree. He's not bigger than the club. Simple as that.

No-one is talking about a return to the old days and the drinking culture but there are a number of good managers who would be happy to inherit a good squad and a Board with the ambition to rebuild the CG.

I for one ain't going to be told what to think and just because people criticise Paulo's behaviour doesn't make them disloyal or unambitious for the club.

Paulo has done some good things here and at times provided top class entertainment. As for his approach to man management, the big question is whether it's sustainable or not.

Again you are guessing, and focusing on negatives!
no one is telling you what to think, but try and keep them to yourself? I'm quite enjoying having paolo as our manager.

I dont understand the attitude in this chatroom. I agree with some people in here that PDC should also apologise for his ridiculous outburst and subbing the GK so early for one mistake. I totally disagree with PDC and still have my doubts about his ability as a manager.

Wes is a bigger man for coming forward and apologising to us fans, but PDC wont. I am surprised Sky Sports News didnt put subtitles on PDC when he opened his gob. I for one had a hard time understanding him and I am a foreigner. Let's now move on to our next game and hope PDC can behave himself away to Oxford. Somehow I fear another theatrical outburst.

ha ha those dark depressing days when poor old Maurice was "manager" here still haunt me! We now have the most charismatic and exciting manager in the country yet people still moan, but lots of them have user names I don't recognise.....probab ly scammers.

To me this incident was all about discipline, something that the majority have complained about in the past. If you want to be successful at most things you have to have a set of rules and abide by them.

In a team, these rules have to apply to everyone, bend them for one then and others will try there luck. After a while what happens ?

Relegation to League 2 ???

We have recently witnessed some truly exceptional sportsmen on these shores and we are currently seeing more from those at the para-olympics. Most of these know that to be the best they have to make sacrifices and abide by the rules.

I believe that Paolo is applying these rules and quite rightly sticking by them. He is passionate, to me he is possible the biggest fan of the club he is at and he wants it to succeed along with all the other members of the club.

Possibly his one failing is the way he expresses himself. I think he does need to learn to take a deep breath before saying somethings. Will that happen, time will tell.

Real respect to Wes for his apology, I hope this can now be put behind us, that Wes continues to work hard and become a top class goalkeeper.

Wes has apologised unreservedly to his team mates first, in particular Bedwell for not showing respect. Respect being something Paolo places great store on.

As he says why don't the supporters back him on this? He's clearly made his point. As i suggested over drink gate and Caddis gate he's prepared to lose battles to make us stronger and win the war. Yes it's not how everyone would do it but he's set his stall by it.

It's my opinion that those who feel upset about the Oxford jibe should not take it so seriously. If you really don't like the manager or are not prepared to back him perhaps it would be best to take a sabbatical and "support" the Town from a far and take his money in exchange for your season ticket?
Why should we take a break from the club, it's 'our' club not 'his'. Was f*cking seething after watching the press conference. Not just the Oxford jibe, but the way he seems to keep reminding the Town fan's "You're only league one....not champions league.....are you mad?"... Disrespectful to our club if you ask me. Overstepped the mark on this one Paolo.

Did anyone see the extended interview with Paolo on Sky Sports News this evening? Basically still ranting he said that if town fans didn't like his decisions they could come to the CG and he would give season ticket money back..... And fans could go watch Oxford instead.....
He thinks the players are arrogant... I've never seen anyone as bad as him. Just remember the clip of him playing for West ham v Bradford.... asking rednap to sub him, as ref didnt give him a pen.... Basically he was sitting on the pitch as the game carried on around him... If that was one of his players now.. What would he do.?
Don't get me wrong, I love Paolo for what he's done at our club in a matter of a year... But these childish rants in front of the TV have to stop for the good of the club...
So glad he and Wes have settled their differences ....well we'll see on Wednesday if Wes plays or not...

Den there's no reason why if Pdc went the board couldn't appoint a competent replacement manager. I think what worries a lot of people is the thought that they could again get it wring because prior to Paolo their track record hasn't been good and without speculating on any possible successor Pdc is a hell of an act to follow.

You might recall I took a lot of flak for voting with my feet during the Wilson plummeting and not going to games era and stating I'd go again when we were in the championship. It is solely down to Pdc that I started to go again when I realised something special was afoot at the CG and have continued this season. However I don't think I'm alone in wondering if the bubble will burst if Pdc goes because undoubtedly it is his passion his ideology his belief that he has instilled throughout the club that has got us to this level of excitement and belief. Can that same level be maintained and improved on by A N Orher I have my doubts im afraid.

I accept all that, but I just don't think anyone should be tiptoeing around every issue for fear of upsetting him. The only thing we know for sure is that he's going to leave one day anyway. I have a lot of sympathy with southsider's post. Go and support Oxford? Just because you have the temerity to disagree with the manager? PDC knows d@mn well that is the most offensive thing he could say to many Town fans. We all love his passion and the life he has injected into OUR club. But it is not about big Paolo Di Canio and little Swindon Town, which is the impression he's conveyed in his recent interviews. He has every reason to be grateful to the club for giving him his first opportunity in management - a very good opportunity at that - at a club punching well below its weight and with plenty of resources to build a team.
.
The board/investors are moving the club forward apace. It will keep moving forward whether Paolo Di Canio is the manager or not - and I do hope he will be.
.
Right. That's me done on here for a while - a welcome relief to everyone from my ramblings, I'm sure.

Laughable rubbish, remember pdc signed wes and was raving about him last season, the man is unstable, watching on sky proves he is on the edge, a few more defeats and that will push him over and he will walk blaming every player and fan at the county ground after he has given you all the season ticket money back! Lol. Well one thing is for sure he is making a mockery of your club, and as a professional he should stop airing his views in public with behaviour like that why would his players have respect!

You might recall I took a lot of flak for voting with my feet during the Wilson plummeting and not going to games era and stating I'd go again when we were in the championship. It is solely down to Pdc that I started to go again when I realised something special was afoot at the CG and have continued this season. However I don't think I'm alone in wondering if the bubble will burst if Pdc goes because undoubtedly it is his passion his ideology his belief that he has instilled throughout the club that has got us to this level of excitement and belief. Can that same level be maintained and improved on by A N Orher I have my doubts im afraid.
I accept all that, but I just don't think anyone should be tiptoeing around every issue for fear of upsetting him. The only thing we know for sure is that he's going to leave one day anyway. I have a lot of sympathy with southsider's post. Go and support Oxford? Just because you have the temerity to disagree with the manager? PDC knows d@mn well that is the most offensive thing he could say to many Town fans. We all love his passion and the life he has injected into OUR club. But it is not about big Paolo Di Canio and little Swindon Town, which is the impression he's conveyed in his recent interviews. He has every reason to be grateful to the club for giving him his first opportunity in management - a very good opportunity at that - at a club punching well below its weight and with plenty of resources to build a team. . The board/investors are moving the club forward apace. It will keep moving forward whether Paolo Di Canio is the manager or not - and I do hope he will be. . Right. That's me done on here for a while - a welcome relief to everyone from my ramblings, I'm sure.
Completely agree with everything you've said here, Den. It's easy for people to dismiss criticism of Di Canio's behaviour as the work of trolls or - worse - Oxford fans.

People need to face the facts that, one day, Di Canio will leave. And when he does, the County Ground won'r crumble to dust.

I believe that the board have learned that the club has a rich tradition of employing young managers and when the time does eventually come to employ a new manager, they will be bold enough to hire someone more creative than Hart or Malpas.

And you know what, we'll be okay. People seem to have lost sight that we support Swindon Town FC, not Paolo Di Canio FC.

Steve the community thing I did not agree with and I should have made that clear . However I do agree that we should not say that all is O.K just because he's said sorry.The only way he can redeem himself is by putting in good displays on the pitch.
Same goes for Di Canio, he doesn't come out of this completely covered in glory.
People learn from role models and it has to be remembered that Paolo wasn't the best role model as a player.
Great player yes ! but behaved like a spoilt kid at times and as a youth he was a football hooligan and he was playing in his youth team at the time lol.
Lets get all this sh1t behind us and get back to winning ways.
Just off to do my community service now !

Den & synth J all very good points and am in total agreement really - we do support the club ultimately and not the manager & I think that he hasn't exactly covered himself in glory in the manner (fiery Latin temperament probably) in which he has publicly addressed both the Caddis & Fods issues although I do applaud, as somebody else remarked his honesty in letting the fan base know what was going on but the diplomacy was certainly amiss.

I suppose my ultimate concern is the worry that we will go backwards when Pdc moves on before we progress again but I suppose as all know that's part and parcel of being a footie supporter.
