I thought Butterfield looked a bit poor to average at best against Stoke (on his own terms, I mean), and in the other games he’s made appearances he’s not had the anticipated level of impact. He’s not a patch on what he was in terms of creativity, and his passing has been off the mark more than half of the time. After seeing him play against us away at Gateshead, I wondered what Butler was doing signing him in the summer (other than accidentally lining up the next manager for when he gets fired this season following a run of seven or eight poor results).

IMO the ‘toxic’ label is an urban myth or untruth created by a small number of people who took their ball home / didn’t like being criticised and it’s stuck without much credible substantial evidence because it’s convenient and sounds good, in today’s love or hate world.
Completely agree with this. ‘Bru toxicity’ is a handy phrase used to dismiss opinion contrary to the common denominator / positivity guff churned out elsewhere. Most often used by the hard of thinking, it has been peddled by the likes of Max Bell, the cult page, etc.

Watching on TV. It’s like Rochdale away in the play-offs this.

im thinking Gale n Howe would be a better strike force option than Whall who must be in his last season here
Will he make it to the end of the season or will he be gone before then (January, say)?
Butler recently said something along the lines of “no-one gets picked to be in the side just because of who they are”, and yet without fail Whitehall is in. At least TRY something else for a two or three game run and see what happens..? The floodgates might open, the course of our destiny might change…

Give the money back?
Have a rethink?
Put it to a vote?
Stand down their positions?
Bin Face for El Presidente?Prediction: The organisation will pale into further irrelevance (other than the share ownership, which will eventually become quite a bone of contention).

Well that’s cleared that up. According to the latest Trust News letter it was calls from Members requesting they set up a fund
Would that be Committee Members or ordinary Members ?To me that breezily delivered comment in the email is a face saving / arse-covering exercise after they’ve read social media comments about their conduct, and realised they’ve slop-dropped a steaming wet one.
Even if what their email says was true, it’s seriously poor form indeed by the Trust to have not first widened their scope on the matter and put it to ALL members for comments / ideas / a vote before launching their campaign. The whole thing could have done with a lot more input and some moderate voices amidst the histrionics.
Are we to now assume that if two, three or four members shout a request loud enough at the Trust’s top brass they will action it?
This is not the Trust I had faith in. And, as such, as it stands I no longer have faith in it.

Not many Steve Torpeys about, decent scoring record and assists. John Gayle didn’t score many but a couple of lads that played alongside him reaped major benefits from his presence.
That front line (Gayle, Eyre and Forrester) was exceptional. Gayle’s importance is often overlooked when people look back to that season, though.

I’ve used it so not entirely innocent myself but I find AI generated pics hugely less funny although often better executed than the old pics we used to get on here.
Those old pictures that you mention… There’s something quite heroic and hilarious about the effort and the waste of time required for a knobhead to quickly knock something stupid together, and something inspired about how it can look daft or surreal and contain loads of wit.
It’s not just images. If you remember those old fanzines Get A Grip Ref and Son Of A Ref from years ago, they had a sort of DIY punk / analogue ethic and were an infinite number of miles better than the ‘competent fan content’ churned out by Iron Hour, Iron Army etc these days (genuinely not slagging these off, by the way, just making an observation that they’re a digital ethic, more tech-savvy and media-savvy, and therefore more generic and quite a bit less exciting for it).
Tech (and AI) makes everyone seem better than they are at stuff, but it also reduces everything to a bit of a porridge.
