Swindon 0 Macclesfield 2FA Cup 1st Round
RESULT: Swindon Town 0 Macclesfield 2
Macclesfield scorers: Diagne 63, Thompson 90
Di Canio vented his fury in no uncertain terms after non-League Macclesfield produced the result of the first round at Town's expense.
The manager went as far as to call his players 'pathetic and unprofessional' in an outburst that included the promise of extra Sunday training - and the threat of club fines.
"I would like to fine my players but it may not be possible because they have too much protection," Di Canio fumed.
"When I tell players they are average they get angry, but that was the case in this game. Now the club has to say sorry to everybody because they damaged themselves.
"For three days after Villa I was happy. Now I am angry. On Sunday at 7.30am we will be training at Liddington and Di Canio will be the first to arrive."
Sent-off
In a day to forget for Town fans, Swindon wasted a number of first-half chances before Macclesfield took a shock lead from a 35-yard free-kick (pic below).
Aden Flint then got himself sent-off three minutes later to make matters worse before a late Robins' charge fizzled out.
The embarrassed was rubbed in when Louis Thompson scored an own goal in the last minute.
