Swindon have written to the Football League to ask referees to protect their players from over-aggressive opponents.
Chairman Jed McCrory fears his team are being "bullied" while trying to instil their own style of play, which he describes as "pleasing on the eye".
The games gone mad

How pathetic and idiotic! I know what my team talk would be if I was the opposing manager playing Swindon tomorrow. Get stuck into them and rough them up! Unfortunately for Swindon, football is a physical contact sport where strength, power, aggression and tackling is as much of an art within the game as their "pleasing on the eye" play. Football is getting way too soft as it is where a fair slide tackle seems to be an automatic yellow card now, which is a disgrace! I dread to think how they would have coped 40 years ago when real men played the game!
