Saw them live in their early days. Boring.

Having said that, the first two albums are good.

To judge Shrimpton on that is ridiculous, he was only on the pitch for 5 minutes and were his first minutes of the season.

I didn’t judge him, I said what happened last night.

I hope he settles down and goes on to do well.

Nice to see Shrimpton get a short run out near the end last night, he’s got onto the bench now and I’d like to see him given more games in the future, I’m sure Andy will give him a run in the side at the appropriate time.

First touch was poor, second touch appalling! Didn’t really notice him ‘do’ anything much after that.

Among all of the impressive aspects of Butler’s start to management is his use of the squad, not being afraid to change things up to cope with the schedule and keeping things fresh.

I don’t think it has always worked, or will, but 6 times out of 7 so far is not a bad return on the new style of using substitutions.

He does have an air of being completely self-satisfied. So to speak.

I’m sure they are all salt of the Earth sorts and so on and so on – but Max Bell is so grating.

Only just found the time to listen to this latest Iron Bru podcast featuring Michelle, James and Lee.

I thought it was very interesting that Michelle made a point of saying there was no ill will on the club’s part towards former recent directors, and there shouldn’t be any on their part as they are supporters of the club.

Once again calling out or schooling a certain someone, imho.

Reading the match report on the official website, like the first two games, seems like it’s been generated by AI, some really strange use of words in there again

This is definitely happening. Chat Shit GPT.

Competent Tories sorting out the mess left by incompetent Tories. That’s the reality of it.

Prediction for tonight: Difficult. Unknown quantity (to us). Pretty sure Butler and co. will have done their homework! NM 0 – SUFC 2

[Apollo11]

Plenty of authority for me, funny how the manager seems to think so too.

No, it’s not funny.

[Apollo11]

No it’s a question to you..

Why did he supposedly have one? What’s your reasonings?

I can’t answer why he seemed to have an attitude. You’d have to ask him why he had one.

But complaining about every decision that went against and not doing much work – worthwhile or otherwise – in the time up to his first goal… those things suggest he was mardy.

Edited to add: I should say, for clarity, I really like Whitehall. He can just be an arse sometimes, and it looked that way for a while on Saturday.

I suspect you wont you never do when challenged, your not alone though still waiting for Ferrite to name the other bidders when Hilton took over.
The only joke is you thinking he could lol.

I’d suggest, if she’d entertain the idea, going and talking to Michelle.

I suggest you go and take a look at other fan forums, this is light in comparison.

I was, in a thread about the Telegraph, talking about the Telegraph.

Why did Whitehall have an attitude?

How would I know why? That’s a question for Whitehall.

If you think Clunan is a nothing captain then your judgement is shocking!

Don’t be so ridiculous. He might do a lot of talking and a lot of pointing, but I’ve never seen any of the other players on the pitch acknowledge or respond. He lacks presence and authority.

[Apollo11]

Who cares?

The website must be absolutely the worst online user experience ever. It seems to have been designed purely to grind your gears.

Drop Clunan??

I counted one forward pass on Saturday. Everything else went back to the keeper, sideways or out of play.

Butler doesn’t see the introduction of subs as weakening the team (I suppose he has to say that really) But 5 subs gives a greater opportunity to take off somebody not influencing the game and replacing them with somebody that will. Fishburn, Brogan and Rowley have shown the ability to do that and it’s likely we can add Carlton to that list very soon. Good options off the bench for a change. (No offence to Evans & Kelly BTW but they have a different role to play)

I don’t understand why Evans isn’t in the side from the off. Perhaps he’s been carrying a knock or working his way back to full fitness or something?

[Apollo11]

im not getting all the hype about the actual performance it wasnt that great,first half except the goal was dire improvement second half way better more dominant

On the whole it was competent rather than inspiring. The second half was a big improvement over the first, once the substitutions had been made.

Whitehall’s goal was a belter but he seemed to have an attitude problem up to that point.

Clunan is a nothing captain, with little to no presence or authority. Is he good at doing the phone calls and collecting the subs for the snooker tournaments and golf days?

In answer to the question you posed in the title of the thread. Yes it is. The Labour Party is the new brand of the Tory party, achieved by coup. The establishment and its money and agenda needed a party to operate after the last clown show let them down.

[Apollo11]

I think we’ll be competitive this season, not least because we should have a team of players who are a bit more used to playing at this level, and we’ll have a manager who’s got an ounce of footballing sense. Not saying we’ll win the league by any means, but I think we can look forward to the ride.

From what I’ve seen in pre-season, I don’t expect promotion.

i was always a meat pie n Bovril guy ..long before the days of pulled pork the like.

It’s all very well serving that basic notion of football food – but I think we should be trying to raise the bar on it and get a bit of a name for ourselves for the effort and quality.

If we’re doing hot dogs, it’s so unambitious to charge £4.00 (may even have been £4.50) for a sloppy tinned ‘eyelids and arseholes’ processed-to-f*ck sausage in a cheap (and unbuttered) bun with no onions and no ketchup anywhere to be found… Charge £6 or £6.50 for something special – a decent local sausage in some sort of quality bakery roll, with onions and really nice sauces.

This means, of course, it’s essential to have absolutely the right person (capable, confident) in control of all this stuff. Smoking Goat did improve the food offer – but as he tried to speed up / simplify / cheapen the process, I have to say that very quickly the quality declined markedly.
