The legendry Di Canio, the former player of Swindon Town who has as many as 500 league appearances for the club, could not simply believe that his team can be thrown out in this fashion. The most important reason of his anger was Swindon’s substitute central midfielder: Louis Thompson, who put the ball in his own net at 90th minute though Macclesfield Town was already leading the match by then by 1-0, only goal by that time was fired by defender Tony Diagne in 63rd minute.
