Wow Rene proper memory lane stuff and it certainly dates me as I remember us having a Magic Robot game back in my childhood. I’m guessing cass, Mick, les and a few more are remembering the game too, not forgetting Awaywego of course.

Golden years!

And me. It was MAGIC.

[mistertonmick]

new forward is available for tonight

[Sanfran49]

Well checking his record he is a 6ft winger and not much 1st team game time – that is it !!

But he was born in Barcelona !!

Don’t get it.

So was Manuel from Fawlty Towers. Hopefully this guy can tapas a few goals in.

I was expecting somebody with experience, yet it appears he’s another inexperienced kid.

Why on earth were you expecting that?

Shooting practice for the Moors tomorrow v Gloucester.

[MK Iron]

Rain most of today in Spennymoor.

Maybe a pitch inspection a bit earlier than 19:00 this time?

[ironfromafar]

JD just has to go for it .. hopefully more options going forward with Corbett on from the start n Roberts off the bench ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ..could be a few goals in this one just hope Scunny score one more than SPM…IMO IF can win tonight its down to 8 points and Tamworth may get the jitters .. anything other than a win and its done n dusted, just our luck to be meeting SPM in a dodgy called rearranged fixture when they are on a unbeaten run with a couple of their best players now available…pleased that young loanee lad Shrimpton cant play hopefully be a big miss for them.

If its not called off AGAIN
Prediction is 3-2 (either way)

[bartonscorpion]

I have a feeling that we will get beat tonight, I do not like the idea of us losing at this point of the season, when we are in a good place of getting second spot which would be great in the end of season play offs.

PREDICTION SPENYMOOR 2 SCUNTHORPE 1

[sufc_not_on_tour]

Comfortable 3-0 away win tonight.

[Northumbiron]

No chance!

I’m going and I’ve not seen a “comfortable” win in years.

3-1 Moors!

[another fed up fan]

3-2 Scunny Roberts and 2 for Whitehall

[Iron-awe]

Roberts starting, hope it’s not too soon after injury, come on Iron.

And the latest to be red carded is… the manager
As the saying goes, we have a manager, and he’s going nowhere!

[WonderGoals]

Can’t blame Dean for that tonight. A mixture of bad luck, shite ref and a lax goalkeeper cost us.

Only slight gripe about Dean is choosing Clunan as an advanced midfielder. Wouldn’t playing Clarke there be a better idea ?

[Random]

You can’t blame the manager for tonight. We played well, the referee and fitsimmons are to blame for today’s result

I am sorry to say that I forcasted Scunny to lose tonight, but after saying that, they should have walloped Spenymoor.
Another blunder by the clown hander them the points in a game that we should have won m but all the tiimes we had the many chances, we shot straight at their keeper, and twice hitting theur woodwork and a good goal ruled out, the ref was terrible and also cost us the points. This result hits our chances of that vital second place in the play offs, which is vital for our chances, and puts pressure on us, so we need to win on Friiday and hope that Chorly and Brackley drop points.

[Northumbiron]

Like a bloody Ted Lasso script!

Four games in the NE. One point out of twelve to show for it!

[WonderGoals]

That ref tonight was absolutely appalling. I’m still confused at what he thought he saw. Butterfield was about a yard away from their keeper who palms it into his own goal and he blows for the foul.

What the hell was he watching ?

Manager of the Month (February)

Lee Named Manager Of The Month

He’ll be adding March to that.

[lesgeo]

A very knowledgeable gent of my acquaintance wants Fitzsimons dropped for the next match.
We argued about this for quite a while during the game after the latest piece of insanity. With a handful of games left – the thought of a junior GK in for critical matches pressed my panic buttons.
But not too long after the goal was conceded we had yet more evidence that Fitz does not learn anything from experience – there were several more instances of crazy play.
Alright then. Go on. Drop him! If losing us the game singlehanded does not fettle him – what else can be done?
All his great keeping is wiped away by his wild extravagance. I keep thinking we have a Grobbelaar in our midst. Only more so!
The refs in NLN may be shocking – but I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the standards of goalkeeping. So many great keepers in that division. Well – think how many have thwarted us!
He’s expensive. Let him go. I am longing for a GK who does the right things and has just a bit of flair. Such a man need not cost the earth.
21 clean sheets could have been – perhaps – 27. ???

What a few days it’s been for the club

Holding a meet and greet in a Car Showroom, a defeat and embarassing Social Media posts

The “Banter Era” never seems to stop.

[cassidystash]

Would many keepers, at any level, have made the save Fitz did from that header les?

Watched Pickford’s faux-pas when I got back.

Happens at International level too. If he’d done it in the home game it wouldn’t have mattered. At 0-0 it’s a different story.

Irrelevant that it was a car showroom. The room was cleared and it was a good-sized space and shape for a really enjoyable event.
