Liz Truss joins thug who battered OAP to launch whiskey at Glanford Park

[unity iron]

What in heavens is the club doing by hosting this lot? Who in charge has signed this off? Absolutely horrific https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/35212669/liz-truss-dougie-joyce-whiskey-video/

[CMC]

On the field great off the field wtf

[Apollo11]

The hosting of ‘this lot’ is more down to Tom Z than the Club, surely?

[Apollo11]

[ironlion82]

Who has got the Club associated with all this lot ?
Who is responsible for allowing all this and these type of people having access into our Club.?
We have had a great season and the town behind the Club like never before but all this could be undone by headlines like this.
Scunthorpe United is a community Club and we need who ever allowed this gone.

Not the first time in very recent years that dubious types have been walking the corridors of GP.

Anybody in charge, in their right mind, who heard Zanetti’s slurred garbage on the tannoy at half time in the Chester league game would have binned him on the spot (literally the centre spot). They didn’t and here we are.

[Deereyme66]

Sure I saw one of the Directors posting ‘same again next year?’. If they’re going to host a gig or festival again, surely they’ll do it without Zanetti and co in tow?

Saw some folks knocking the critics based on a better turnout on Sunday. Failed to take in to account bad PR like this.

Might not have been as simple as that given how far down the line of planning they were (contracts, promotion, agreements etc)

I’ve watched the video of Truss and the thug, I’ve no idea where it was filmed but it certainly wasn’t filmed at the Attis arena, there is no room in the building that’s decorated like the room those two are filmed in.

It’s San Pietro. Check the wallpaper.

I get that but, after all the pre match stuff from the club telling fans not to do anything that might cause trouble, they invite someone to have the microphone who promptly starts chanting “F off Chester” after his initial incoherent nonsense fizzled out. Did they need to see any more ? I didn’t.

Actually quite funny on the day, imho, seeing someone make such a tit of themselves. But in truth a real low point, more suited to the Hilton era.

I clearly remember, just after Tom Zanetti finished his little display, James Moody saying over the PA “Oh dear, that was embarrassing… I’ll tell you what he should have told you” – and then giving details of the Weekender.

[ironlion82]

Will local businesses and potential investors want to get involved with a Club attracting these sort of people and also a Club allowing these sort of people to be involved. There must be someone at the Club allowing these people to seem to have free run of our Club. That person or persons need to be gone from our Club.

What a crock of attempted narrative-shift shit.

[Northumbiron]

To be fair, The Sun have quite a bit of “previous”.

Scunthorpe, the new Liverpool?

This incident underscores the board’s lack of due diligence in vetting the Stadium Weekender event. It seems probable that most, if not all, board members were unaware of Dougie Joyce’s chequered history.

[Awaywego]

Far to many incidents from this board that are inexcusable, not that I’ve mentioned it before mind.

[ironking]

I take the Sun no more seriously than I would financial advice from Liz Truss.

[Deereyme66]

Can’t stand the rag but I don’t think they’ve got much wrong in this case have they? I.e. she was there for some strange reason only know to her. Oh yeah, to support Scunthorpe, lol. Yeah, course you were Truss.

[Apollo11]

Not that anyone should give a flying toss, but…

The video was obviously filmed at San Pietro. Joyce and Truss either met up there prior to the Weekender (it’s publicly open 12 – 3 on a Sunday) and then went on to the event…

… or they went there after the Weekender. Having said that, San Pietro is closed on a Sunday night, as far as I know, but perhaps they opened up specially. Dougie Joyce strikes me as someone who might be in a position to stump up a wedge of cash or make the owners an offer they couldn’t refuse.

Who honestly gives a f***?

It’s a non story, the club aren’t going to DBS check everyone who attended the event!

We’ve even had several players in the past who have had brushes with the law.

Unless either Truss or Joyce are potential investors into the club in which case we might see Zanetti chuck a few bob in or become first team scout or manager.

BTW Im joking guys

It happened on ‘our patch’, which makes it fair game for discussion by those who might want to discuss it here. It also happened during the Stadium Weekender, so again it’s fair game for discussion, and it involves a former Prime Minister buddying up with a convicted thug, so it’s not a non-story. It’s at the very least interesting.

Aye. I’m not overly invested in it but you’re right it’s not a non-story when the club are involved in bad press. As always, those not interested are not obliged to take part in discussion around this or any other topics for that matter. That’s a polite way of putting it :)
