    Is Matheson one of our worst ever signings? :-(

    I am sure you have the 7 minutes highlights to form a full opinion coming up soon. :-)

    No my friend, I watched the full 94 minutes on i-follower, so no real need for your comment, maybe it would be more apt if you let us have your opinions on the match.

    Siderite, have you ever though of adding an “N” in your password, between the (S and i).

    I was only being tongue in cheek. No harm meant by it. Sheesh. :-)

    I bet Cox has a bit of a smile on his face, a bit like Robbins and Alexander!

    To a degree, with regards to Swann, but I suspect he’d mostly be disheartened for the way his hometown club is falling apart. :-(

    I can’t speak for certain, but they seemed to be tired out by minute 60 every game. That seemed like a lack of fitness.

    I think we needed to try something different to Cox and Hill has a good track record, so it’s natural to have some hope. :-)

    Unfortunately the calibre of players has not been good, and we may have left it too little, too late. As CT points out, many of the original targets would have shunned us because of the dire situation. :-(

    You know the answer to your points Ferrite, we all do, one-man to blame and it’s not Keith Hill.

    It’s interesting. When Cox was here Ferrite was eagerly pointing out that the problem went beyond the manager, now it seems that the manager does have some fault. :-)

    It must be said that Cox seemed to be in approval of at least some of the duds we’ve signed, and left them unfit, so cannot be whitewashed as some great manager. He was useless. :-)

    However, the common denominator is Swann! :-)

    The worse times were not under Don Rowing, Siderite. The club had a good structure then and also a good Chairman who knew what he was doing. Everyone who worked for the club went home knowing they had done a good hard day’s work and very often stayed over not on pay but because they loved Scunthorpe United and valued supporters. Don Rowing was a good Chief Executive with a good General Manager David Beeby. The commercial department worked very hard with and in the local community. It’s the old saying that you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone. Fans were much more appreciated and given much better facilities and treatment to how it is now, they were made to feel valued. It was more like a family club. Opening hours were good in the office and the shop compared to now where everything has been cut to the bare bones. Things fans enjoyed have been taken away, being able to buy a programme, a working scoreboard, told you can’t take your own food or drinks into the ground and then catering prices increased at the same time, etc. The supporters have been alienated and without supporters there will be no Club. This is going to take a heck of a lot of rebuilding fans trust and commitment.

    Not really the focus of my comment. :-)

    You can have all the marketing in the world, but if they won’t pick up the phone to sell the tickets it won’t do any good, rung yesterday no one there, same today, left message on answerphone but very disappointing and just another reason why I stopped going regularly to the Glanny sands siro. Will post when (if) they get back to me. PS this is not a Swann thing it’s the way our club as always been run,the worse times though were under Don Rowing.

    It’s ok. SUFC have many followers on twitter. They know what to do. :-)

    Bring back Cox! We need the players unfit and incapable of anything but defending the 18 yard box! :-)

    Yes, I am only being a tease. :-)

    Hopefully, if alcy actually wants to put forward his views he can do so in a more sensible manner. Have specific threads where each corresponding video goes in, instead of endless spam of separate threads. :-) There would be no issue there for me.

    I don’t care if you have issues or not.
    Your input to this thread so far shows you up stiff.

    And the responses of others do not lead me to believe that ANYTHING will change.
    No-one has learned anything. So be it.

    Snowflake. :-)

    You seem to think you’re an authority for us to learn from. You aren’t. :-)

    alcy is a snowflake who can’t handle people discussing ideas he disagrees with, so has to destroy the board. :-)

    Hopefully the new mods can close down the alcy and Big J far right cinema club if it restarts. :-)

    It must be even handed. The average reader/user does NOT want to read thread after thread slagging off the right and defending, or extolling the virtues of the left. No matter your political leanings.

    Adding balance does NOT mean that, if there are already six left-leaning threads in existence, a user must also add a left-leaning thread for every right-leaning thread/post. He will need to add SIX right leaning threads/posts.
    And is ready and willing to do so.

    The average user doesn’t want to be bombarded with umpteen threads containing videos on similar themes, no matter the political bent. :-)

    No thanks, users have the option to scroll past, better known as UGDV. 🙂

    I have no problem with threads discussing right wing topics, that’s not the issue. I do with spam, and despite alcy’s protestations about left wing stuff being ever present, we never had umpteen posts made on the same day for weeks on end. :-)

    So the whole forum had to go because people were stringent in their disagreements with you. Snowflake. :-)

    “Any bets on how long one of mine from GBN would last”.

    Why stop at one video Alcy, when 20 per day is the norm. “One of mine?”. None of them were yours!!

    Just as the James O’Brien one isn’t Gurnys, but posted by him.
    BTW: any of you ever stopped to wonder WHY I suddenly started flooding the NF side with videos I knew would get up your noses, yet never defended them?

    It had the desired effect, eventually, esp. when BigJ etc joined in.

    If you don’t believe me, ask Matt what I said to him a year or more back.

    Big J was a parody, not a steadfast ally. :-)

    At least you had your desired effect in closing the board. :-)

    Bucksiron must be angry. Focusing on this has meant he hasn’t spoken about his obsession with climate change for the past 10 posts! :-O
