Players for release ?

[Random]

Until contracts are signed with us or elsewhere, why would the club announce anything. We don’t know if the club has counter offered which might make a player rethink. I also think it’s wrong that Mr Bru is posting on here every-time he gets some inside info. If i worked for the club i would be having a word with my staff regarding the leaking of information and also having a word with Mr Bru. There is no wonder the iron hour guys get more attention from the club than the iron-bru guys.

In this modern world of 24/7 social media posts Joe Public has developed an attitude of self-entitlement regarding access to information.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false as long as they get it ASAP. And that’s not just on football forums!

Some of us remember when it wasn’t official until you read it in the Evening Telegraph, or your Uncle had been in the clubhouse at Forest Pines.

Has it not occurred to you that maybe, just maybe someone at the club passed information to SST, to post on social media?
Maybe that doesn’t suit your narrative though!

Worst thing is self-appointed ITKs* arguing with each other about if something is true or not

About time we had a new club statement informing the fans there’s nothing much to update us on just yet. Bloody rubbish Iron!

Sack the bored
Butler out
Jeff Pugh in
CR10 to Matlock
UTI

we are looking pretty dam tasty up front now
Whall Howe Ubo Cr10 (Dawson)………………………………Beck

Now we need a keeper, beef up the midfield and possibly 1 add on to the defense and the makings of a decent bunch to compete in NL.

Barrows has agreed a short-term deal with the Club with a view to completing his recovery from injury, and being ‘back on the pitch’ by the end of the calendar year…

[Deereyme66]

Pleased to hear this, and definitely the right thing to do, particularly considering how it happened and the mitigating factors.

A few months back on here, someone shot me down in flames when I suggested it’d be good if the Club did the right thing by Barrows, bearing in mind that, essentially, the state of the pitch caused the injury.

Did it mention the length of Dawson’s contract?, I don’t think it did, strange two players getting over the same injury although TBF to Dawson, ACL injuries in both knees one after the other is unbelievable bad luck, fingers crossed for both lads this coming season.

To be fair, I should amend my comment about Barrows from “caused the injury” to “was a highly significant factor in the injury”.

I remember it happening, and I’ve watched the footage on Ross Barrows’ social media. Not pleasant. There’d been a couple of conversations around where I sit, about how the pitch might play a part in some sort of injury.

[Iron-awe]

From memory from my seat in the main stand his boot stuck in the sandy crumbling service and the rest of his leg kept turning. Really nasty, won’t ever forget him shouting out in agony as he did it, the pitch condition was a massive influence on the injury IMO.

[Siderite]

So, that’s Fitzsimons, Barrows and Whitehall not going to Matlock, despite the claims made by Dave burners.

Yeah, I was trying to temper my original statement, bearing in mind that ACL injuries can happen on better pitches too.

Clunan alluded too things not being right aand hearing stories coming from
His former club (Ilkeston) too.

Puts a pin in the everything being rosy at Ilkeston theory.

[Deereyme66]

What did Clunan say?

I haven’t a clunan DM

[JohnGaylesNuttingKit]

Basically that things ‘didn’t feel right’ after a couple of months post-signing, and the players began to hear stories about DH’s past – eventually leading to then not getting paid

I was also criticised on here for suggesting an opinion that the pitch was a major factor in Barrow’s injury.
The very least the club can do is support him in the way they are.

[ironfromafar]

Pleased for Barrows and well done SUFC for standing by the lad.
So that just leaves Beestin rumoured to be signing a new deal and Max K who hasnt been talked about much so far.???

IMO we still need another minimum 4 in at least
3 outfield and a keeper, missed out on Hawkins hes gone to Curzon.

[Deereyme66]

‘Missed out’ sounds like we were trying to sign him. Assume that’s not the case if he’s gone there and not GP?

[WonderGoals]

Were we even in for Hawkins ?
