Not looked on there for a while. Notice that supporter with the camera and long lens is still posting tons of intrusive shots of supporters in stands. His mates seem to like it but does everyone else like their dopey fizzogs plastered all over Facebook? What if you’d skived off work to go to the match and your boss sees a pic of you at GP? Does he have permission to snap fans and post them on the internet from GP officials?
I can just about accept it if it’s the club doing it as it’s a marketing exercise, but I don’t like the publishing crowd photography on the internet thing at all. If a private individual not in the employ of the club is taking and then posting photographs in a Facebook group – which seem to be taken from long distance – then yes, you are right. It is intrusive and even creepy – and I suspect there are legal issues around doing so.
… we gave the ball away too often with wayward (simple) passes.
Kouogun playing their striker in was something to behold…

Anyone who reads that group seen the long post from Paul Spry?
Dear oh dear how wrong can you be?
What does he say?
It’s can be attractive to watch when we’re making 20 to 30 passes out from the back (and sideways), messing with the opposition’s shape and pulling it about to create holes. But the effort becomes pointless when we get into a shooting position and then just pass it sideways again with, often, less chance of scoring or the move completely breaking down. That’s when, for me, patience with Jimmy Dean’s style wears really thin. Being a little more direct up front wouldn’t go amiss.

we will get stuck in this division for a while.
Agreed. It’s a ‘now or never’ / one shot only kind of a deal.
Yes, Simon loves the attention..
I think it’s probably more accurate to say he loves the adulation, which this is not.
If you think this guy is such an arsehole why give him so much airtime. He’ll be laping it up.
Are you talking about Elliott, or Sherbert?
I think Elliott claims Herbert showed up at Barnard Castle unannounced and spotted him in the pub, before clinging on to him. I have been told he is not liked around the club, but I think they humour him. Still, humouring or not, he should be given the cold shoulder.
A couple of times on social media Sherbert made some reference to having a drink together in a pub at Barnard Castle. There was even the inference that Hilton had been there too, and that there had been a toast when Elliott said one day he (Elliott) would “be King”. Sherbert tagged Elliott in one of the posts, and Elliott was clearly very uncomfortable. A sort of “I don’t know what you’re talking about” response.
Just so I’m not mistaken, is this Herbert character the guy who became best mates with Hilton, took over the Facebook group, tried to get peoples addresses, made veiled threats and is on crown court bail for some sort of football related criminal charge ?
I’ve never seen pictures of him with Hilton to back up the idea that they were actually mates. I’ve seen a picture of Sherbert with Simon Elliott, as well as a very matey video of them together outside a pub in Barnard Castle (where Elliott lives).

According to Dean a week or two ago he stated 4 or 5 needed to go out to help balance the books. Ferris, Pugh and Bennett have already gone with Chapman probably on his way come January to be replaced by a cheaper loan youngster.
Southport can sign Carver on a perm contract to get him completely off the books. Smith will end up going back to Hearts as well. Going by what Dean was told I think all those just about cover it.
It’ll be a blow to lose Smith.
Another one postes just now.
Don’t know how to post pictures or I would but elliot tells him“Me and Michelle want you in the ground 100%”
I have seen this screenshot you’re referring to.
In hindsight its pretty obvious Hilton was and probably will continue to be a professional conman and frauster , put zero money into the club and robbed what ever he could along the way lie after lie before being exposed, i hope more comes out about this crook and at some point he gets his fingers burnt.
I expect The Athletic will still publish their second article at some point.
“Me and Michelle want you in the ground 100%”
Glanford Park? Or Scunthorpe’s version of ‘sleeping with the fishes’?

He posted a screenshot of a conversation with Elliott ,with Elliot telling him he isn’t banned.
There’s some sort of close connection between those two. There have been matey videos and photos posted in the past.
I spoke to Paul Hurrell on the subject of Herbert the other week.
He told me he had been told to keep away from GP for his own safety.
Apparently, there’s members on the Facebook forum not happy with him.He shouldn’t be ‘told to keep away from GP for his own safety’… He should be banned from GP for good. Launching a mobile phone would be the legitimate reason – but then bragging constantly about it on social media and also stirring up division in the ways that he did was appalling. The guy is a liability to the reputation of the club.

Remember though: there’s no gland in Glanford!
Not now Sherbert is banned, no.
Is he actually banned?
Hopefully so; Dark times when our only form of communication was through his Facebook rants alongside Wham
He was more than an unwitting conduit, he was stirring the pot good and proper.

Noticed Dean was getting a bit of stick on social media last night, and the club in one post, though I think ‘SUFC, you’ve ruined my f***ing life’ is a bit dramatic. Even I don’t think that and I’m a right misery.
The club being run into the ground by a conman could be considered something that might ruin your life. Losing a Tuesday night match away in November could not.

It’s not even a major problem anyway…
The actual biggest problem this country has is the subservience of the working class. Gaslit for generations by the establishment – whipping up whatever hate it takes to keep the scum in their place.
The good times always seem to coincide with the exact time the person was in their prime or youth. Older people bemoaning that times have changed for the worse is a tale as old as time.
Things have changed for the worst. It was shit then and it’s shitter now.
Our country is wrecked, and is no longer in control of any problem, the trouble is who ever gets to be in Government will not action anything either, there was a time when it was a respected country and good for its people to live in, but you must admit that is not the case, and can anyone think that it will ever change?????????????????
Of course things get actioned – in the interests of the establishment. There is absolutely no interest in making your life better. It’s a class war, fought to keep you down.

Agreed.
However, Whitehall did not so much have a poor game – but rather, seemed to have been excluded from it.
So many decent chances to cross the ball into the box were simply not taken.We’ve only got ourselves to blame… but when the final whistle blew I did also wonder how the hell we lost that game 3-1. One of those occasions when the result is a bit freakish and doesn’t tell the true story? Or another worrying indicator that JD is able to set a very good side up but not do anything meaningful to alter it to suit what’s going on? For my money, a little bit of both.

I watched the game online… There was a lot of activity in the middle between the centre circle and their box, and not enough whipped in from out wide. As much as I love watching Scunthorpe United short pass other teams out of existence, I also feel there’s not enough ‘old style fourth division rubbish’ (ie. directness in our attack) mixed in amongst all the tippy-tappy. I’m not advocating a return to elbows and leg-break tackles, either, but a bit more meat with the gravy wouldn’t go amiss.
Torpey in his pomp would have eaten Whitehall for breakfast, Whitehall is more of a wind up merchant than a target man IMO but he gets goals so I guess he is doing his job, just don’t like the way he goes about it.
I agree with you (other than the bit about the way he goes about things) but there’s something vaguely ridiculous about Whitehall which makes him much more likeable than Torpey somehow…
Very complementary on the whole and expect us to be promoted with are squad size and money spent.
Danny Whitehall does get quite some stick for falling over a tad easy on occassion :)
Everyone comments on why Butters is playing at this level – and most moan about the standard of referees :)
UTIFair enough points, I think – though I myself haven’t noticed Whitehall going over that much – certainly no more than any other target man.
I do try and get the away Commentary but not always available at this level – nice to get their view of how we are performing.
That’s an interesting way round of doing it, hadn’t thought of that. What’s been the general consensus so far this season?
He’ll be Prime Minister heading into the next GE.
Good vocal support from the few Gloucester fans, well done.
Noticed that they sang out for Gloucestershire, as other fans have their own county, I may have missed it but I haven’t heard Lincolnshire being sung out by our fans since 1974. What a bad decision it was to create the hated Humberside.“Panic on the streets of Carlisle, Dublin, Dundee, North Lincolnshire” wouldn’t have had quite the same ring to it, though.

We’re back on character assassination again are we?
Merely expressing a point of view. He’s probably a very nice bloke with a firm handshake.
… imho, of course…
