It’s exciting if anything else?

I remember when we were struggling to score, and having 0-0s with a back 5, there were complaints that we were too negative and statements that people would be happy with 4-3 wins because of the entertainment. We get more of that and there are still moans and groans.

Criticism is fair enough for game management, but we still won.

[Siderite]

Been told it’s with the technical support team due to the issues.

[Siderite]

Errors in getting it uploaded, so I have been told.

It’s worrying that it’s being entertained at all, and that destroys trust in anyone considering it. They might not be so sharp.

I am surprised the low crowd didn’t bring 414 out of the woodwork, but I guess the win was enough to silence him until Saturday at least.

I know we live in a world where truth is fast becoming whatever most people are willing to believe rather than anything backed up by actual evidence but in my humble opinion, this is all nonsense.

The only tangible shred of evidence the bloke on twitter/X has provided is a link to Wikipedia page detailing what went on with myfootballclub 12 (TWELVE) years ago.

The website linked to the Wiki page (www.myfootballclub.co.uk) times out and seems abandoned, I can’t find an active site on the wayback machine (internet archive) for at least the last 6 years. Their Facebook page detailing their sponsorship of the might Slough Town hasn’t been updated since 2020.

By the 2012-13 season they had just 1300 members (source: The Guardian, interview with founder Will Brooks in 2017) hardly enough people to buy a football club at £35 a pop

According to the FCA website mutuals public register, Myfootball Club Society Limited (30275R) was deregistered on 17th March 2014.

I stress I have no knowledge of the inner working of the club so could always be wrong but on balance, based on the information I can find (and until anyone presents evidence to the contrary), this smells a lot like bovine excrement to me.

I agree. There have been whisperings of what is happening and none other than this guy on twitter have mentioned myfootballclub. As you say, myfootballclub has been quiet for years and I don’t know why it would restart now or why anyone would think it would be beneficial to the club or themselves.

There were past rumours under Hilton that had merit, but those came from people with some club links and Hilton had a Company’s House record that stank, giving reasons for concern. This doesn’t seem to have any trail beyond that twitter account.

Cheers Siderite I see what you mean.

This is all rumour, it must be stressed. Could well be part of the wild guesswork from people hearing things and basing on grains of truth.

Not sure if this is allowed, but this is the rumour being referenced. I will add that this is all a rumour so far as I know, so I am not claiming any knowledge on this bit.

There’s more to it than that. 64 did give some hints when he spoke of the piggy who wants to be most equal. This is what is driving the claims of hostility.

We seem to have a cushion to midtable, which is good and a surprise since we were told this was our limit based on preseason games.

[Siderite]

The term hostile comes from those who have heard or been told some details that make it appear as such. Without wanting to delve further to risk libel.

[Siderite]

I wonder which one is spearheading this current situation. Awaywego seems happy, but will he be once that comes out?

[Siderite]

I understand change may need to happen to progress, but Michelle’s efforts deserve more respect surely. Surely it can be handled differently than what is seemingly happening, according to rumours.

Either way, he should have known how it would appear. And palling with the AfD doesn’t help.

Tbf, much of it involves legitimate questions being asked over this Unity group. Questions that shouldn’t cause anger and would benefit anyone who wants to know more, including those interested in joining. Yet this group have lost their rag over that.

Welcome. What brought you to support the Iron? Out of interest Have you managed to make it across to the UK to see a game in person? Was Trent McLenahan criminally underused?

I guess they find the timing to be deliberate and some comments could be taken as barbs at the Unity group.

[Siderite]

At least one of the nutters threw a tantrum and resigned from the Israeli government.

Personal grievances have coloured it from the start and Stuart Maw’s attacks on the Trust has created division in the fanbase.

I have no issue with this Unity Group doing raffles for away travel, but it would need to be transparent and that hasn’t been the case to date. They sold their fundraising as a bit more than their travel subsidies and it all seemed to be about praising the Maws. I don’t really see why this can’t be done through the Trust and it seems to be too tied up with some egos.

Trump’s got his crypto coin now. It’s like having David Hilton as president with these obvious cons.

Thanks for that CMC. I couldn’t remember where or when it was posted so big help.
Correct hence I’m not jumping on the Stu’s a predator bandwagon. Unsavoury perhaps but not the extreme it’s being made out to be. I haven’t changed my stance particularly, unlike some.

On the other thread you’re bemoaning the unsavoury nature of it as being chalked down as social media naivety. The first paragraph of that post could easily be interpreted as you bemoaning others for not taking such concerns seriously when your concerns were just you laughing along with him. You’re still using one person’s comments to represent many who have spoken about this nature of him.

And, no, it may not be in the realms of Jimmy Saville, but it is sleazy. That sticks in the craw when he was being so self-righteous, which is why it exploded then and not when you shared it while he wasn’t stirring the pot.

Yeah, but he doesn’t get to play the hero if he admitted it was less of a concern and more of a joke to laugh along with.

[Siderite]

By some, you mean one person, otherwise you’re using his past stated opinion to cast shade at anyone for commenting on Stu’s social media antics. Even though the person you have a seeming thing for hasn’t commented much on the sleazy aspects since.

[Siderite]

One person’s opinion at the time doesn’t reflect all. The reactions to Stu’s social media output came to the forefront when he was pontificating about his heroism, as these things often do (when someone’s not causing a stir, people don’t take so much interest in them). It rubbed people up the wrong way when he was being high and mighty.

[Siderite]

Maybe he’s learned to use an anonymous twitter account for his sleazy stuff.

[Siderite]

I’ve never known a ‘genocide’ to have a ceasefire before. It’s almost as if it’s a horrific war, not a genocide.

Also, my understanding is that the delay was caused by Hamas not releasing the list of hostages. Evil Israel not going through with the ceasefire when the other party doesn’t follow the conditions. Don’t they know that Hamas have no responsibility and who cares about Jews being kept as hostages anyway? That’s evil Zionism and support for genocide to think of them.

[Siderite]

I’d say it’s more likely that he has fallen out with Butler, isn’t pulling his weight in training or something like that than Butler isn’t happy that he’s looked good and has done this to anger fans.

[Siderite]

Why would Butler loan out a player because he thought he was playing well and to anger fans? That’s crazy talk.
