I’m not up for changing our team badge, much less our colours. We do need to work on our image. For too long we have been a stop off point for journey men who need fitness then move on. Also our “chairman” let a full team of professionals come to the end of their contracts and move on for nothing. Had they retained even a handful of them we would not be in this mess.
Once we are free of Mr Wilko things will improve, of this I am sure.

Ok Bame, not terrorists, suicide bombers, or curry munchers changing rooms,as Jem’s called them.
Curry munchers? Hold on a minute, nowt wrong wiv a ruby!!
Just been looking at Van Veen, number 9 for Motherwell in the Scottish Premier League. Like so many others let go from the Iron for nothing. No wonder we are getting relegated, I’m just amazed that Kieth had agreed to stay on another season.
He is not a future England keeper! Lol
Hill put it in as a wind-up answer to a not very bright question.
He then reduced it to 6 with the same laugh in his voice.That’s the way I heard it on Hullberside as well.

I’m glad posters are keeping some perspective and not touting him as a future England player after one game. Ridiculous.
I’m not sure the bookies would come up with the right odds for a bet like that!
Displaying passion is welcome. However, if some of them were racist to Nuttall, then those fans don’t deserve any backing.
IF the home fans were actually involved in shouting racist abuse at him, then I understand why he would show them the middle finger. I’m not however convinced that they did. Kieth said that he had some grovelling to do and would have to apologise. Surely he wouldn’t have said that if racism was in any way involved.
Did I spell his name wrong? Lmao!!
FACT – The Iron were made to look like idiots by a very ordinary Bradford. Had they used their superior first half dominance, or continued with that in the second half, it would have been another huge drubbing.
Pike’s poached effort, which saw him outsmart that goalie, did make me smile briefly.
I’m looking for more effort and better decisions against the Monkey Hangers today…
Given the rather prickly nature of the current regime you have to be careful what you say……
But, the loan issue is just one of a catalogue of issues that revolve around what has been said, as opposed to what has actually been subsequently done.
So I won’t call Swann a liar, because that would be grossly unfair, impugn his magnificent reputation as a shrewd businessman of high repute and also his general standing as a fabulous all round guy.
What I would say however is that what’s historically been said as opposed to what’s actually been done seems to have nothing more than a passing (and very casual) acquaintance with the truth.
Swann and ‘the truth’ in the same sentence huh? However, I do like a bit of irony.
But I will make a point, as I have absolutely sweet fuck all, and it would be a waste of time suing me. Swann and his gaggle have rinsed our football club and walked it dry. We were not worth much to begin with.
Now we are worth less than nothing. No ground of our own, crap team playing crap football, with a bunch of cowardly stewards who prefer to kick our youngsters out, but rarely if ever deal with away fans.
UTI – Down with the Swanns….
I’m worried that we will continue to drop down into NLN, as there is almost certainly not going to be any money to spend on, at least half decent new players.
I did trust Swann for the first few years. But the recent asset stripping, plus the neglect of our team and our ground, (we haven’t even got a working scoreboard damnit), is hardly what I would call inspiring.
I really do fear for for the future, and hope that it doesn’t unravel in the next two or three seasons.

I think Kieth should start trying to get his first team sorted out now. Not just the ones that are the best, as some of them won’t be here next season. It’s going to be a rag tag team, but they have to get used to playing together.
Just in case we end up in the same scenario we are in now, which is very likely if not a nailed on certainty. We need some stability.
Too many to count. I would single out the FA Cup fourth round second replay at the Old Show Ground. Lots of faces in the crowd I hadn’t seen for ages, and the boys on the pitch didn’t let us down either.
Much much later, at Priestfield, we were beating Brighton. Then we had a conga going on singing ‘we are top of the league, we are top of the league.’ Brighton fans were leaving in their droves and we were singing ‘bye bye, bye bye,’ lol. Happy days…

Not too much emphasis on youth but how about:-
Watson
Rowe Gallimore Delaney O’Malley
Wilson Feeney Grant Lewis
Beestin NuttallWith some of Young, Poulter, Moore-Billam, Cribb to get some game time. Selection subject to fitness of course.
Have we not got a senior player who could take over from Beestin? Something not right with him.
Sod that. NO SURRENDER 🤬
F Swann and all his lackeys.
What happens next? The biggest fight this club has ever had. It will be difficult, but not impossible. A new chairman, a wedge to spend on the transfer market, and Kieth Hill given license to rebuild our team.
We are not the type of fans that will stop supporting our club just because of the shit we are in.
Get digging those trenches….

Much like the players, they cannot be any worse than what we have already got.

Martin Fish, sounds a right slippery stinky character.
Second generation weather man!
Other than Swanny giving Alexander 113 games Bobbins 71 games a good chance to Cox’s 69 your bang on right LK.😂 Lol.
Oh Touché!
Their matches were played at a higher level. Cox was a bloody disaster that should have been given the boot a lot sooner.

Feck the revolving door to the managers office, that is part of the reason we are heading for non league obscurity.
Hill came here with a good record for getting poor teams out of the sh*t. He has promised to stay on, even when we do get relegated. If he does stay remains to be seen. But if he does, then let us see how many of his own signings opt to stay, and if he can get any more to sign.
Nobody seems to get a good chance to show us what they can do here (except Cox). Next season could be a nightmare whatever we do. So let us start by giving this manager a chance to take us back up.

I walked through a group of these youths with hoodies up and wearing masks after the game near Costa Coffee, they were being told to shove off by the police. Thing is most of them only appear to be spotty little herberts barely wet behind the ears, not saying they can’t cause aggro when in a gang but how much is gang bravado and actual intent? If they were confronted in just ones and twos I’m guessing most would scarper back home to Mum.
Be careful man, don’t fall foul of the Scunthorpe Massive! 😅

March 14, 2022 at 7:25 pm in reply to: At what point do we consider the manager is the problem? #233547Ever since the stadium deal fell through, he has lost interest. He don’t care anymore! Also imagine our little big man boasting to his mates, ‘hey, I own my own football club.’ They do a quick search, find this place, and say. ‘Oi Peter, all of Scunthorpe fans think your an utter bell end.’
Perhaps he is fuc£ing up The Iron to teach us all a lesson?
Bar steward!
We have to just keep on trusting a manager and team who are a just a little better than what we had before. IF and it’s a massive IF, we survive in the football league this year, it will be more by luck than judgement.
Whatever league (or non) we are in next season, certain individuals will depart. What and whom we are left with will need to step up. Many teams have never got back up…

I’d not be surprised if a lower ti mid table premier club got him for nothing and put him in their b team. Maybe he would get the odd start.
Come on, I’ve seen worse 25 year olds at Man U!
I don’t know why Abramovich was ever accepted as a football league chairman. Everybody knew his money was dodgy from the start.
They said he had ripped off the Russian people when he took control and ownership of a massive Russian oil company.
I think it’s time to reopen a few of Aberdeen’s oil rigs.

only if it was Man United, that would be funny
Nah but it would be hilarious if it was Liverpoo.

I think the next three matches are like 6 pointers. Teams closer to us in the league than we have been playing of late.
It really is time to start scoring…
Must be experienced at working on a shoestring. This is a strictly voluntary position, at a non league football club.
