Not impressed when a manager doesn’t know the starting 11 following a full Pre-season. Hopefully Butler does know.

There was a suspicion amongst some long time supporters last season that Butler was giving “game time” to some players, despite it not suiting the game plan…?
Someone mentioned “playing bonuses”?

I bet the lads have trained well and that lessons have been learned.

Are you so in real life?

You mean this isn’t real, that’s ok I thought your original post was something you genuinely meant, glad you were only joking

It must be an amazing talent to be able to know what everyone else “means” by their posts.
That or an amazing level of arrogance.

IA, I agree.
Over the years we do seem to switch off with ten minutes on the clock.
More than twenty years ago, someone worked out that if we’d played 80 minute games that season, we’d have been champions by two points.
In fact, we didn’t make the playoffs.

The boy stood on the burning deck,
His legs were all a-quiver.
He gave a cough,
His arm fell off,
And floated down the river.

Just from each team’s last six, the pattern suggests a Yeovil win.
2-1 Yeovil.

[alcazar]

And last season?
Did he learn?
Of did he repeat his mistakes?
Was he humble when it was OBVIOUSLY costing us points?
Or was he arrogant?
Did he tell a supporter who shouted at him to “sort it out”, to **** off, or not?
No.
I’ll NOT give him the benefit of ANY doubt.
He cost us the champions spot last season and never acknowledged it, nor apologised.
Needs to be gone.

We nicked a couple from Liverpool:
“In our Scunthorpe home,
In our Scunthorpe home,
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare,
If you want a blast furnace we’ve got one to spare,
In our Scunthorpe home”.

With a knock kneed chicken and a bowlegged hawk,
We walk with a wiggle and talk with a squawk,
Doing the Donny Road… Boot walk.”

Also: to the tune of Robin Hood, tv version:
“Iron Man, Iron Man, walks through the town
Iron Man, Iron Man, knocks the ******** down,
Feared by the Mariners,
Hated by the Clan*.
Iron Man, Iron Man, Iron Man.
* Lincoln City.

Read some cringe worthy efforts in the Evening Telewag when it was on the go.
They all seemed to copy the meter of “The boy stood on the burning deck..”
Or be utterly daft blank verse.

Butler may START with an attacking lineup, but we all know that he’s phone to trying to sit on a one goal lead… often with the expected result: the opposition equalise, or even get two.
Cowardly football.

[alcazar]

To the tune of “Exerpt from a Teenage Opera”:
“Grimsby Town, Grimsby Town,
Is it true what people say
You’re going down, oh yeah yeah?”

Sadly, we both did, that season.

Good grief!
“Butler”, and “sense” in the same sentence.

SURELY not???

Won’t bother me then

Pat Jones the stand out individual performer in the 3 games I have seen.

He’s not Cal Roberts but for me if he is fit he starts.

Hope we have him on a long contact then…

So no alcy master plan well what a surprise but you keep spouting the obvious that applies to a large majority of clubs but just keep hammering on about ours because you don’t know any other way, really constructive alcy and of course entirely pointless. It’s a theme running through a large amount of your posts wether sporting or political, I guess it’s just your way eh.

As 64 said to you in another thread, “play the man, not the ball, eh?”

You want reasoned argument when you yourself don’t do so?

[alcazar]

Keegan’s transfer to Liverpool epitomised the “cheap” directors we seem to attract at Scunny.
Clemence went to Liverpool for only £18,000, and went on to captain England.
Keegan was sold for only £35,000, iirc the same year as ManU paid Bournemouth £100,000 for Ted McDougal.
Who?
We have seemingly always been ready to GRAB the first offer, no matter how derisive.
Second hand seats for Neil Cox???

Where have I said that IA?
We have certainly suffered from some directors who thought it was okay to lend the club £10k, get free hospitality while they serve, then take the £10k back and move on.
What, precisely, have they done for the club?

… and other clubs haven’t done those things then? We are no different to how lots of EFL or ex EFL and indeed non league clubs have and are being run in the past and today. What do you suggest us and all the other clubs should do, what’s your wonderous alcy plan to make us different to the majority? Stating the bleeding obvious and banging on about it isn’t a plan BTW.

Not interested in “other clubs”, that’s just another form of “whataboutery”.
It was poor when we did it.
End of.

Alcazar – whose shift / Section Leader in the Lab were you on ?

My shift leader was Keith Norton, Trevor Credland was top man, A shift.
Keith then moved to days, and Les Oakton was moved to our shift.
Ed Burton, deputy shift leader.
You might also know Rog Winfrey, Tev Cunnington.

[alcazar]

I’m betting 12 points
