I remember one time last year, I was fuming because I couldn’t get my commentary. Imagine the embarrassment when I realised I had the volume turned to zero on my iPhone!!

[Lord Kitchener]

Not ideal after travelling up yesterday. If he was to make a difference however, we would have found a diamond in the rough. Whatever happens welcome to Scunthorpe young sir!

Aye but which goalkeeper is Cox’s first choice? I know loan players should play whenever available, but that has not always been the case at the iron. Also I ask this because Watson has been given the number one shirt.

[Lord Kitchener]

Is he the player that was spotted with the ‘man bun’ in his hair. Ifso then he will have been introduced to his team mates some time ago. I hope so, because that would mean he has been here and about the team.

[Lord Kitchener]

I’m actually looking forward to the match tomorrow, it’s been a while I’ll tell you.

I hope young Scrimshaw gets some game time. Even more so if he can start to build a rock solid partnership with our Loftie.

I wonder how long it will be before the new lad is unveiled?

I used to work there and know my way around very well. That’s why I know the place, and it’s people.

Great reply Lord… must have taken you a while to add such thought out opinions

A very good and truthful article.

For what it’s worth I would say as more articles are written from people with no association with the club about the awful situation we are in then maybe more people will sit up and realise we are potentially on the edge of a cliff here!!

My opinion of Worthing requires no time to write, it really is a sh*t hole….

It would be interesting to know who wrote this and if Ian is just a pseudonym for a local journo as he seems quite au fait with what’s going, he may even read this board.

He’s a blogger from Worthing who has been writing about clubs in trouble for over a decade. I believe he did a number of articles chronicling the decline of Boston back in the day.

Worthing is a carsie so any opinion from that place is to be ignored.

Can’t agree about Green, maybe shite against Swindon but played well against Rochdale, but should have shot instead of crossing when he was in a far better position near the end.

I like Green on the wing, not trying to be a forward it doesn’t work. Stick him out wide and let him run at defenders and stick the crosses in like he did when he first arrived at The Iron.

Even at the age of 32, I would be surprised if we can afford his wages. Capped 9 times for England? We would all surely be impressed to see him in a Scunthorpe shirt!

We all made the choice to support our local (ex) team. Most of us did this during our very long tenure in what was Division 4, having to be re-elected on more than one time when we finished bottom. Other than a short time n the early 70’s (before my time), and an even shorter time in the early 80’s under John Duncan, we have never had a better couple of decades than the last.

One thing I am sure of, is that The Iron will continue in this downward spiral without the support of its fans.

UTBI

[Lord Kitchener]

I knew it wouldn’t take long, and it is the typical knee jerk reaction that is played out on this board year in year out. How many managers can we afford to keep hiring them paying off?

Disappointed that the op didn’t entitle this thread ‘Cox Out!’

I would have thought that he reads some of the posts on this board. So it could be worth telling him directly.

So come on Swanny, get your bloody finger out!

Well I emailed IFollow who simply told me that I didn’t have an active subscription. This was an outrageous lie.
As it stands right now it says I can listen to the next match, before that it said I could listen today.

I have sent them a relevant screenshot.

[Lord Kitchener]

Yeah on another thread, missed the whole game.

[Lord Kitchener]

I’m not accessing any video, and still can’t get any kind of commentary. :(

[Lord Kitchener]

How do I get away commentary? As of now I’m getting nothing at all…

I remember waiting near the gate at Millwall after Gary Hooper gave us a 2-1 win and a young fellow giving the Millwall fans grief as they walked past and thought I hope for god’s sake I hope them lot aren’t waiting at the station for a punch up, but luckily they didn’t.

Seen a few of our fans ejected from the ground for upsetting Millwall fans. Seems they have a spotter in the crowd nearest to where away fans are located, just looking for anyone who could start those years off every match.

[Lord Kitchener]

I played a blinder one evening at the New Den. We had just come back from one nil down to beat Millwall two one. After the match I was on my way to the train station, but missed my turning. Across the road Millwall fans were singing, so I took my jacket off so they could see my football shirt and started singing Up the Iron. Next thing I was surrounded by coopers and Millwall fans. I had to be escorted back to that small ally way. Then one iron fan told me that he and his mates had my back. F**k that!!

He works for MUTV somehow. Has done for years.

Thank you for that, I never would have guessed. I doubt he earns a fraction of what he could back in his flash Harry days.

[Lord Kitchener]

Footballers seem to follow different rules to the rest of us, just like their managers, they can be fired and just simply move on to another club.

Ron Atkinson is a case in point. He did and said whatever he wanted as a player and manager. But when he forgot to turn the mic off as a television pundit, that was it, bang gone never to be heard from again. I doubt he could get a job as the back end of a horse of donkey in a panto.

Having watched The Iron in recent seasons – it really is going to be hard for many fans to have any belief that there might be improvement but when you are as bad as we were last year, it is extremely hard to expect that anything could be quite that awful again.

I agree, the only way is up!

He has got to be better than Watson, not that he would have to be great to be better than him.

The way it was explained to me is that COVID-19 is just another strain of the same SARS virus they have been working on for years before the outbreak of this pandemic. That is why they were so quick to get the vaccines ready. Let’s just be thankful they did. Because the death rates were off the scales…

I discussed this thoroughly with my son, who is a biomedical scientist, and he was and is certain that all the vaccines approved to be used in this country are both safe and effective. He was working for the nhs at the time and got his jabs way before me.

IMO if he says I should that is all I need. Had both AstraZeneca injections and I’m feeling good.

So for those of us that rely on this website for all our closed season information. No proper announcements, no rumours from Forest Pines, nothing.

Is everyone terrified about saying something that might see El Duce take em to court?

[Lord Kitchener]

I heard somewhere that those whom had forcefully and illegally gained entrance, were literally throwing genuine ticket holders out of their seats and taking them for themselves. Looks like England hooligans have stooped to a new low. 👎

[Lord Kitchener]

HA HA HA!

You don’t have to post antagonistic videos of some self loathing tosser making a monkey of himself, to wind up the gobshites on here.

As for the penalty takers, I’m sure all the players are good at the job and have had practice. But two of them were cold, in other words they hadn’t had enough time on the pitch to get their heads into the game. Bringing players on five minutes before the end of extra time, thinking they will be ready to take on the responsibility of a very important penalty shoot out didn’t work. The only person to blame for that is Southgate.

[Lord Kitchener]

He is a prime candidate for a kicking. Shouting and screaming, waving his hands about like Adolf Hitler. Slagging off working class Brits, because he probably still thinks we should cancel BREXIT.

It’s obvious why we lost that penalty shoot out. The manager picked the wrong men to do the job. Nothing to do with the Tories, much as I dislike them.

Oh and using the word ‘moribund’. He deserves a kick in the bollocks just for that.
