Topics: 11Shame nobody at the club could see the potential and get a good fee for him.
They’ve never listened to anything the fans have said so I can’t imagine our opinions had any bearing on him leaving.

deemed good enough to be on the bench for a Premier League side. This despite some of you, led by ringleader SST, hounding him out of our club.
He was good enough to be on the bench in the Championship last season but didn’t start many times. Let’s see how many games he gets in the Prem. Never looked good enough when he was here, could have improved but probably not that much.
What do you base your “hounding out” theory on? People expressing an opinion that a player isn’t good enough? If that were the case we wouldn’t have many left, can’t think of many players in recent seasons that everybody rated.1 user thanked author for this post.
😂😂
Surely this post is some sort of joke??He’ll play zero games in the premier league and I’d hazard a guess he’ll be loaned out.
Big Ivan up top on the other hand… I’ll hold my hands up and admit I was never convinced but surely we should have out bid Peterborough having already worked with him and known his potential??
Sadly we didn’t and now the Posh are cashing in!!Clubs an absolute joke!!!

‘This despite some of you, led by ringleader SST, hounding him out of our club.’
Completely unjustified UTI99. At the time, there was stiff competition for his place and he’s one of many that have thrived since leaving. Pleased for him but as DSGM pointed out, perhaps it’s more the pity that those in charge didn’t recognise his potential. Your ‘hounded out’ comment isn’t worthy of a response other than, if you think supporters have a sway what happens at our club then please explain the situation the club finds itself in at present. I really don’t understand why you continue to beat supporters over the head about situations they clearly have very little influence over.

Never the abusive fans/trolls fault is it?
And at the same time UptheIron99, it will certainly never be the clubs managements fault, or to be more precice, it would not attract a comment from you or Awaywego69 if it was.
I always liked Goode, it was a very good centre half, but another good player let go, whilst we retain players like Loft, Hippolyte, Jarvis, Turan and Green, there has been something wrong for a few years when you look at the players that used to play for us, just to name one, I always liked Hopper, but again doing well else where down the road, he was outed and Novak kept ha ha!

It’s a strange logic that UTI99 has. Like a compulsive desire to blame the fans for anything that goes wrong at the club. A denial to accept the cause of the effect. Groundhog day again.

Topics: 11My problem is how younger and also relatively inexperienced players, especially forwards, are written off by a significant number on this site without being given much benefit of the doubt.
(Hippo almost scored with a dazzling shot at Barrow, BTW.)
There may well come a time when you have to admit that a player is a dud – with kindness, if at all possible – but judgements are reached so very quickly.
If a player has an attitude problem … that may be a different matter. The only player I have ever really taken a pop at was Hakeeb.1 user thanked author for this post.
It is easy for a player to win over supporters if they are good players and are enjoyable to watch them playing, but like the team at Scunthorpe, when probably 8 of the team are not good enough to be playing in League football, in such case it is easy to see why paying fans get on their backs at times, it is the same in any job really, if a painter and decorator is working for you and is making a bloody mess of things, surely you will have a go at him. We have had some cracking players over the years, but right now it is not worth the effort to attend matches, I for one should know after 70 years watching them, and only missing one home game in the past 12 years since finishing work, but I am sorry to say, that the management have ended my enjoyment and entertainment by presenting what they do at GP, if things got better, I would probably return, but I don’t hold much hope with this lot in charge. It is the same as Speedway, I have only missed one match in 12 years, but there is more entertainment in two minutes than United produce in 90 mins, thats why we attend.
Made me laugh when Les said Hippo “NEARLY” scored with a dazzling shot at Barrow, so a missed shot is the thing that has stuck in his mind, that just shows to me that nothing of note really happened during the game, and after listening to it on the radio, that is about it.

Really hope that the club and chairman are not reliant on uti99 and awaywego for public relations as a season ticket holder for twenty years including last season and this I am appalled to be told that any comments made about playing staff is hounding them out they are well payed professional players and should be able to take criticism as well as accept praise. UTI singles out three. Was it fans descion to get rid of VanVeen(twice) was it fans descion to play madden proven goal scorer out of position the list goes on. Don’t lay blame at loyal fans paying to support there team look elsewhere

So you think the abuse players like Goode/Burgess/Wootton received at games and on social media was justified?
All young players learning their trade yet scapegoated by some if they dared to make a mistake.Can you imagine any footballer worthy of the name asking to leave a club because “some nasty men in the crowd shouted at me saying I was ******* useless?” Surely the way to deal with that would be to go out and prove the nasty men wrong. (Unless, of course, you are ******* useless!!)

Wholly inaccurate. Please provide evidence. I always thought Goode was a decent player & got a rough deal here.

Topics: 11Always rated Charlie.
Managerial decisions led to where we ended up and after 4 years of development an idiotic decision was made and mediocrity was retained and Charlie moved for a small fee. The rest is history everyone has done well except ? Yes you are right Scunthorpe United
