T'was the Saturday before Christmas and all through the Liberty,

Not a creature was stirring, apart from 12,327 lucky souls who managed to evade the last minute christmas shopping rush...

The city centre of Swansea must have been so quiet as fans flocked to the Liberty to see how the Swans would follow up last week's 5-0 against Carlisle...

The only change to the starting 11 this week was Butler in for the injured Robinson...

The players warm up

Marcos Painter managed to agree an extension to his 1 month's loan, so plays again today

The Rotherham fans... They brought less than Carlisle did last week!

The teams come out for the first half

PLEASE NOTE : Willy is NOT wearing pink today... Must have been a temporary mix up last week!

Trundle comes to greet a supporter - maybe a relation?

With Willy not showing his pink side this week, that honour is left to one of the 9 mascots that line up for the pre-match photo

The teams swap sides after Rotherham win the coin toss

4 minutes in, and Painter makes it into the referee's book for a two footed tackle

The "injured" player Cochrane gets a quick breather on the side line

The swans are awarded a free kick just outside the area

With Robinson out, Trundle assumes free kick duty

Trundle blasts it against the wall

A rare picture of Fallon getting involved with the game ;-) just messing Stato!

Craney

Butler gets a chance on goal but his plans are easily read and a defender gets a block in

Painter makes a run down the wing for Butler to pass to

Half time 0-0
