Similarly, Omotayo from Kings Lynn would be a good signing. He looks like he could effortlessly do what Beck blustrously can’t.

It’s a sad indictment of what an entitled 24/7 supermarket shopping culture we’ve become when you’d just innocently presume the Club would be open the morning after a Play Off Final.

Connor Smith and Will Harris would be very good signings.

Wasn’t it ‘click this to get access for a period of 24 hours’?

(pity the DAZN highlights are so low res)

Not quite sure why this should be the case, but yes. The quality of the footage is shockingly low res. Did anyone who watched it on TV notice the picture as particularly bad? What I’m asking is, is the problem with the master footage itself, or with the upload of these highlights?

[Apollo11]

This is how I interpreted it, too.

I think, though, that the aim will be to at least survive with finishing mid-table considered a good achievement.

Some seem to think that’s a prerequisite for the ‘Fans Voice’ or whatever it’s called Apollo. What’s happening with that anyhow?

I think there is some difficult stuff around fans and fan groups likely to come out during the next few weeks, once the good feeling has dissipated a bit.

I thought what was said about AB was on the whole abuse ,it seems people can’t be”passionate” without abuse anymore.

I’d tend to agree with this. I’d suggest that there are a lot of emotionally unintelligent people around the Club, unable to process the details or nuance of situations and unable to express themselves with calm, reason and respect.

[Apollo11]

You’re allowed to complain when the football is shite. It should never spill over into personal abuse, though.

DM, if he had continued in the same vein – no way would we have been rejoicing today.
Maybe it was fan pressure; perhaps board pressure or personal revelation. Who knows? All that matters is that he began steering the Iron boat in a better direction.

You’re completely missing the point Les. Yes, some criticism was deserved. Calls for him to go, chants about his football being shite plus the demoralising insults and the abuse he endured were not deserved.

Even when the football was shite?

Very lucky with the first goal if the stewards weren’t so thick the game would have been stopped for medical assistance a minute before we scored, (someone fell ill in the Dre) what a waste of money they turned out to be, did sod all then and sod all when fans encroached on the edge of the pitch total waste of space.
Nice to see fans trying to sort the numptys on the edge of the pitch a few of them got lumped and rightly so, took Roberts in the end to tell them to f off.

You suck the joy out of life

There were some absolute pricks in the DRE yesterday.

[Apollo11]

I predict next season we’ll be full of Fishburn-level players.

I don’t think we’re going to keep Cal Roberts, if he stays I’ll be very surprised, same with Fitzy.

It seems obvious, from comments made during his BBC Radio Humberside interview on the pitch after the match, that Fitz is definitely going.

[Apollo11]

Exciting in spells but a generally crap game.

Let’s be honest, Rob Waltham is pretty good at self promotion as well, always ready for the photo opportunity.
Local politics is full of ego’s, and now we have another layer.
Here endeth the rant.

It certainly seems to go with the territory. But as much as I dislike his political ilk, you don’t really see Waltham making social media announcements that are smartly-worded but transparent attempts to solicit personal kudos for what have been committee decisions.

Please be aware, the resale of your match admissions for this weekend is a breach of the terms and conditions of sale. If you are no longer able to attend, please contact us for a refund and we will cancel your booking.Should an individual be found to be reselling your passes, these will be automatically cancelled without refund. Furthermore, should the holder of a resold ticket be apprehended for misconduct at the weekend, the individual on the booking of the ticket could be subject to repercussions, just as much as the offender.

This could be a ‘stop it’ warning for those who are social media scalping (if there is any of that profiteering going on). It also reads, to me, as a bit of a warning shot for those who shouldn’t be in attendance due to stadium bans and to those who bought their tickets for them? Definitely, though, it’s a bit of pressure to ticket buyers to implement peer pressure and stop the nobheads before they misbehave.

Keeping us in the dark and Chester guessing, they’ll have to have two plans. Hoping they need Plan A which includes Roberts playing.

That seems to me to be exactly what’s going on. However, I don’t think there’s any chance that Roberts will be playing.

Of course not, but it’s an extremely lazy trope to suggest it’s our default.

“its what happens at Scunny when there’s a huge game and crowd”
Apart from when Cliffy equalised or we beat numerous team to win league 1 or beat Newcastle or beat Chester early this year. If Chester give it a go we win, if they park the bus it will be hard without Roberts. This game is about the mind not the ability – we are the better team. Just need AB to get them on the front foot from the off. Iron 2-1 after been 2 up and finish 8-1-1 formation ;-)

Exactly. This lazy idea that we bottle it in front of big crowds or on big occasions is absolute nonsense.

I agree to an extent with some of the things said on here. If you state a day and time for each ‘wave’ to run, you stick absolutely to it. You don’t change it on the hoof just because you’ve sold what you expected to sell in that wave early in that wave’s allotted time.

I expect they knew they were going to sell out and wanted to get it over and done with asap, rather than waiting round for hours at the arse-end of each wave.

Kai Corbett was probably Shots most creative player once he came on but you have to wonder why he was a sub in a middling to poor National League side.

I thought he was ok (he had a moment or two) but in general was a little bit anonymous, to be honest.

Me too in general. I was talking about yesterday’s match, though.

Interesting to see Kai Corbett playing for Aldershot, he’s out of contract now.

He was also reasonable enough, though a little anonymous.
