Northumbiron, if you dont like the subject matter then ignore it. As long as it is a current subject I will use my right to free speech to ask the question weather or not it suits your narative.
If you don’t like footballers making a brief gesture of solidarity against racism then ignore it.
Personally I am delighted that a vocal minority are choosing to demonstrate why anti racism is so relevant.

You will notice Heath I didn’t say Loft was a good player.
Shows how poor we were that he was top scorer and our main hope of a goal except in the handful of games that Eisa bothered his arse.
Poetic licence Mick.
Oates looks good but he is playing up against Webster who made a few forwards look good during his time here.
Certainly not as good as Bob NI.

Based on yesterday the thing he has added is a bit of bite. He was a handful for the defenders the whole game and whilst he didn’t exactly bully the centre backs he certainly held his ground.
Even got involved in a bit of low level “afters” which I like to see from a centre forward.
It won’t be with us Cass because he will cost more than a bag of toffee.

Decent game Les and agree both teams would probably beat our team of last season.
Shame Slocombe made the mistake on the first goal. Played well after that and came off his line to good effect when needed.
Good to see Kyle has added a little bit of nasty to his game. Loft was one of our more effective players last season but on today’s showing Kyle woold be an upgrade on him. He will be back in the efl next season even if Notts County don’t make it.

Never quite understood why racists never ever agree they are racists. Met thousands in my time but never met one happy to be called one.
Same folk generalise and abuse non racist people as Marksist, libtards.
, loony lefties, anti British etc.Time for racists to come out of the closet and have a few racism pride events. Trump and Farage might be available as guest speakers. Might even bring their foreign wives along to feel the love.

Alcy wants me to pay more than the going rate for my ticket then I would qualify to be a core supporter.
Don’t remember claiming to be anything.
You couldn’t make it up (unless you’re Alcazar),
Got mine over the weekend. Figured I will probably end up at the best part of 23 shite games anyway so might as well do it as cheaply as possible.
Do we think the site has some kind of virus?
Am currently dithering Les. Got until Monday to save a few quid on the early bird thing.
I have zero optimism for the season and I think the team will be shite for the fourth season running. But…they are my shite and have been for 50 odd years. What else would I have to moan about.

Les if the Iron is the only football you watch then I can understand why you prefer cricket.

I have never showed any loyalty to the company I worked for when another company offered me significantly more money. Would have had a problem selling it to my family if I had.
I judge Hayes on what he did when he was here and most of it was very good. He was never in the Novak headless chicken mode of chasing lost causes but he delivered quality football and qualifies as a modern day Iron legend to me.

No. Only room for one opinion here.

It was a very brave player that did not put in a shift or continually made the same mistakes when Bish and Murphy were running the midfield.
Not the best ball players we ever had but demanded and often got the best out of those around them.

3 seasons of decline, a 3rd bottom finish and low wages on offer.
Anyone signing for us before the end of May is either:
(a) Desperate
(b) Sh1te
(c) A member of the chairman’s family
(d) Any combination of the aboveOur best bet is finding a few half decent players who press the panic button in late July or early August and decide the Iron are better than the jobcentre.

I think he is a good player and have said so a number of times but not sure he would have made the starting line up only 4 or 5 seasons ago.
A measure of how far we have fallen.
Thanks Matt for organising once again.
As for my shoddy performance I am a lot like the Iron. Too many match days I forget to turn up.
I think you will find the players will get paid even if backofthenet18 does not attend.
If the directors, coaches and players got paid according to crowd size we might get a few more shots on target.

I rest my case Mick – not many.
Probably remains classified as a Motorway until the roundabout they are constructing actually opens and then it will be reclassified as the A1077.
I can give you a clue of who its going to be by putting it in two categories.
All the good ones will be gone and all the bad ones will be retainedNot maNY leaving then.
Russ used negative tactics for about the last 12 games of the L2 promotion season when we were clearly the best team in the division.
Got us promoted but certainly cost us a comfortable championship and frayed the nerves of supporters.
I think Cox has been negative tactically because he knows he has one of the poorest teams in the League. Russ would have done the same but probably got us to finish 2 or 3 places higher had he been in charge this season.
Not always agreed with Russ on tactics but there is no doubts about his professionalism and integrity as a player and a coach over many years for the Iron.
Thank you and good luck with whatever you do next.

Thanks for the info – that’s one extra member signed up.
Only thing to do with the Iron that I trust at the moment.
Or alternatively we put the Turan’s and the Jarvis’ straight into the first team given there are no u23 games to find out how good (or not) they are.
I suspect the amount of cash wasted on Turan, Jarvis and Mooney is a very small proportion of the £11million spent to get us into a worse place than when we started.
Also without Russ giving them a grounding in the clubs preferred tactics (win every game 0-0) where are they going to learn the negative mindset.
The ginger haired midfielder for Hebburn looked a very decent player. Can’t remember his name but the commentators said he was ex Newcastle youth.
Played more accurate passes to forwards in 1 game than our midfield has managed this season.
I also gave up on the Harrogate game Ferrite.
Need to be clear about what we are protesting about and what different outcome is wanted. I don’t give a monkey’s who the chairman is – just want him to get on with “chairman” things and employ some football professionals to give us some football and footballers worth watching.
Same as you Cass – dont think I will stop going. However, will not buy a season ticket this year and if the football is as dire as we have seen on iFollow this year I wont get past October. Not wasting time and money watching utter sh!te while freezing my rocks off.
