Or another possible dirty trick by York City?
November 3, 2025 at 4:44 pm #312748You don’t expect clubs to know the rules surely, especially managers they’re not the brightest of sparks at the best of times.
Kevin Keegan being the best example.
Quite obvious that Butler didn’t know the rule from what he said, don’t get me wrong I don’t think it’s up to Butler to know the rules, someone else should have been on top of it.November 3, 2025 at 5:11 pm #312749Why is Keegan the best example?
November 3, 2025 at 6:51 pm #312751Try the top 60 Kevin Keegan quotes to start with Deerey.
My favourites, my dad was a miner he worked down a mine.
Argentina won’t be at the 2000 Euros they’re from South America.November 3, 2025 at 7:27 pm #312752I remember him commentating on Argentina V England 1998 when he said ‘there’s only one team winning this now – England!’. We know the rest…

November 3, 2025 at 7:34 pm #312753Bless him.
November 3, 2025 at 9:15 pm #312755“I know what is around the corner – I just don’t know where the corner is” is probably my personal favourite.
November 4, 2025 at 1:01 pm #312767York thought that would hurt us taking Watson, but ended up making us stronger. They can have Chadwick back too if they want as he’s poorer than what we’ve got.
I would like Fadera back on loan even if he was a bit raw, but going by York’s stance I think that’s a no, no. Not involved there and he’s out of contract end of this season.
Would you take him as an option off the bench ?
November 4, 2025 at 1:36 pm #312771Not when we have Howe & TSF (and possibly Eze) for his position.
Agree Chadwick is surplus to requirements.November 4, 2025 at 1:53 pm #312774There’s definitely a decent footballer in Chadwick, just not worked out with us.
November 4, 2025 at 4:38 pm #312781I remember him commentating on Argentina V England 1998 when he said ‘there’s only one team winning this now – England!’. We know the rest…
I think the game was England Romania when he said that, Phil Neville waited until the guy got in the box before bringing him down 3-2 final score
November 4, 2025 at 6:34 pm #312784AI says this: ‘During the England vs. Romania 1998 World Cup match, Kevin Keegan’s infamous commentary line was “There’s only one team that’s going to win this game now”, said after Michael Owen scored an equalizer. He made the comment while co-commentating for ITV, but moments later, Romania scored a last-minute winner to win the game 2-1. The moment is often cited as a classic example of “tempting fate” in sports commentary.’

November 4, 2025 at 7:16 pm #312787Thanks, just made them. Totally forgot with all that Dale dithering.
November 5, 2025 at 1:30 pm #312803Just read on FB York have admitted to recalling Rory Watson as he strengthened the Scunny side ..thus so recalling him has weakened a rival… they obviously hadnt factored in Mahady who had an excellent game v York coming back in immediately.
November 5, 2025 at 3:05 pm #312806Maynard said ‘Scunthorpe have done incredibly well, and Rory’s been a huge part of their success’.
Clearly hasn’t read any expert analysis on Watson from wondergoals, Matt Ellis and a number of others. Really, what’s he thinking?

November 5, 2025 at 3:15 pm #312807If he were that good they’d be playing him, nice to see Fitz though forcing his way into the first team (played the last 8 games) maybe he’s a bit better than 64 would have us believe.
November 5, 2025 at 3:21 pm #312808I also noticed in the Bru article that Mahady has been named in the Scotland U21 squad later this month, which will likely leave us with another goalkeeper crisis if Campbell has still not recovered from his injury.
November 5, 2025 at 3:30 pm #312809Fitz left at the end of the season FFS go out and get a goalie of our own.
And no Butler not Rory bloody Watson.November 5, 2025 at 3:50 pm #312810If we could get Mahady on loan for the rest of the season, without being called back for Leeds U21 duty, he would be our own, to an extent. A keeper on a full time contract can still get an international call up. What you’re really suggesting is a keeper on a permanent contract who’s excellent, but not so excellent he might be getting an international call up. Does he have to be a certain height, weight, and be incredibly good in every aspect of his game (shot stopping, distribution, commanding his area, excellent at set pieces, particularly corners, etc)?
Who is this god like goalkeeping stalwart? Anyone got a number for him?
Seriously, do we need to be looking at luring a second choice premiership or championship keeper to meet our high goalkeeping standards?
November 5, 2025 at 4:28 pm #312811Mahady will miss Nov 15th Solihull game. He will be in Gibraltar.
November 5, 2025 at 4:37 pm #312812Seems Leeds will be releasing another in December. Got good reviews I understand.
November 5, 2025 at 4:39 pm #312813The flawless Meslier?
November 5, 2025 at 5:49 pm #312816I’m old enough to remember the flawless Gary Sprake!
November 5, 2025 at 7:13 pm #312817But he keeps getting called back to Leeds u21s Deerey, played for them on Monday again.
So he’s not our own in any extent.
On the permanent I’d just like someone who’d played more than 14 games since 2022 in the national league or above, is that really to much to ask and expect from a professional club who averages over 4000 every game for the previous 2 seasons.November 5, 2025 at 8:24 pm #312819He’s 19 Awaywego and a goalkeeper.He could play every day and probably would want to.

Or Glan Letheren 1976-77 played 27 games.
November 5, 2025 at 8:31 pm #312821“Rory’s been a huge part of their success.” – Some geezer at York.
November 5, 2025 at 9:13 pm #312823Watson didn’t even make the subs bench tonight v Gateshead
November 5, 2025 at 9:47 pm #312824Unsurprising really. He’s admitted he wanted him back to weaken us not because he was needed. Not yet anyway.
I was being sarcastic awaywego. No, it’s not to much to ask. I did say, IF they could agree with Leeds he wouldn’t keep playing for the U21s. No harm in it, till he gets an injury there. My honest opinion is we need another permanent keeper really and have Campbell as a back up, when fit.
