It’s the way of the world these days; I was at a Parkway Drive concert a couple of years ago and there was a person who spent the first 20 minutes of the set on facetime to her friend! WtF!!!
I was once at an intimate acoustic gig and a person sat right at the front held up an iPad and filmed the entire show. Like your FaceTimer, also WTF.

Players like him are what makes football. Quality. Already my favourite player. Biggest hero since King Kev.
He’s really good but has a tendency to drift out of games, imho. The man I’m looking at as the new Paul Longden (ie. Mr Consistency) is Regan Ogle.

Indeed, I am hoping to see part 2 of the infamous David Hilton article in The Athletic.
I mean, I think they know what’s what and could say it in detail – but things haven’t been completely lawyered yet, which is an essential stage.

It’s a pain. But it’s not as bad as people talking through a gig.
You could see what he was about the day he inserted himself in the Wembley ’99 reunion side for that charity match at GP.
… and, of course, when he ambulance-chased Jimmy Dean and got a hospital selfie for his socials.

I was really hoping that this petty minded bickering would have stopped. Appears that some people just can’t help themselves.
I’m not bickering, and I’m not petty minded.
Moving on in unity is fine. But we can still be in disagreement over issues, and we can hold nuanced or conflicting opinions on the people involved. Moving on in unity actually just means everyone being focused and intent on reaching the common goal – in this case, the survival of our football club and it remaining in its home.
I have merely been stating my opinion, which is based on observation: Elliott behaved questionably – and arrogantly – towards supporters who expressed legitimate concerns. He has some apologising to do.

I think there’s a whole horrendous story behind this as to what went on in the boardroom. I saw a picture of Turnbull on Saturday and he looks like he’s aged 10 years in 6 months.
It was stressful enough being a supporter during Hilton’s reign – particularly for those who had ‘spotted it’ months and months ago but were given a hard time by the pro-Hilton cult. But being staff at SUFC? I don’t think we will ever know the full extent of the behind-the-scenes story nor the toll it has taken on people.

Himself ..so hes in the right place at the right time to facilitate his involvement at the club.
At times running with the foxes n the hounds it appears its turned out quite well for him .. and in truth im ok with that so long as the club survives.
So we’re in agreement, then – about his methods at least. My concern is that he doesn’t really care whether it’s fox or hound, as long as he’s running – and seen to be running. That will (already has, in fact) resulted in some poor choices being made. I think other people have said elsewhere on Bru, at the very least he owes apologies.
I suspect it’s people aggrieved by his verbal backing of Hilton, berating sceptical fans for not backing him and no apology. I didn’t boo, think he should be given a chance to redeem himself, but I didn’t clap him like the others.
He’s a politician and a chancer, always has been – positions himself wherever the power is so that by standing next to it YOU will think he’s big and important.

I’m very interested in public perception and what is required to change opinions en masse. How much truth does it require, and how little doubt does it take to undermine it?
There’s probably a state of disbelief, for some – that this kind of thing just doesn’t happen in ‘little old Scunthorpe’ or to Scunthorpe United – and therefore cannot be true. In other words, for some people it’s too outlandish to believe.
There will also be plenty of people who simply don’t understand the finances. This is where a timeline and a clear and thorough explanation of what happened would help. Hopefully that is what is coming soon.
It doesn’t help that when the new owner took over, the club issued a statement which gave him a face-saving ‘out’. It was obviously politics to do this, but once again some people simply won’t understand.

Our fans do have a habit of letting us down don’t they? Now it’s unreasonable to ask questions about whether or not owners have the funds needed
I trust that the new regime has the funds to stabilise the club and don’t think it’s unreasonable for him to ask such questions, given our recent historyAndy Comfort is good at his job. It was a reasonable question, one which he asked on behalf of fans. Elliott made a fool of himself.

No, you’re right and his true colours have been revealed. However, had he not stepped in in January where would we be now. He bought us some time.
… my point being, if they ‘save us’ now then they would have done the same back then, though there would have been much less saving to do.
Wait for The Athletic’s next article for an appraisal of the situation resulting from the damage done by Hilton – although Matt Slater gave a précis on Twitter.

We now have (more or less) the board we would have had in January, before Hilton gazumped…

I wonder if the narrative that honest Dave was trying to save the club will last after The Athletic part 2. I suspect such claims will lookeven sillier.
He will have absolutely zero credibility, the misguided notion that he was trying to save the club will be totally blown out of the water – and many of those who cling to it like a pride-raft for their ego are going to struggle to cope.
