I’m available at reduced costs, I still run 10 miles in 90 minutes on a Sunday and an old ( but good ) left foot beats a right foot any day. Oh and I did once put the ball in the net at Glanford park !
Bloody hell, it would take me 90 mins to do one mile, even I must be past it regarding footy, I remember my last game before calling it a day, I was in goal playing Ashby Ins’t at the Screeds, we lost 0-9 and I think that I had a faily good game!!

Very good news pal, now we just need a couple of centre forwards coming in.

Sorry to say, but the gate of 3,020 included 230 from Carlisle, meaning 2,790 home fans (correct me if I am wrong Northubiron) this for a fixture played on Holiday weekend, is very poor however way that you look at it.
There are still many issues that need sorting out, Keith Hill has done great since he arrived, but he needs fully backing from the Chairman, which looks as though he is not likely to be getting. But with the Holiday fixture being one that was expected to be a home win, added to it being a nice day weather wise,I would have thought the gate would have been over 4,000, but we still do not have any strikers in the squad, and I assume that is the main reason for such a low turnout, fans need to see an odd goal or two, but we have had this problem for three seasons now.
Well I really did think that we were on a three point win today, but the old, old tale, you cannot win matches if you do not have any players that can find the net. McDonald was a big treat for Carlisle, why this was so God knows, it was his FIRST GOAL he has scored in six years!!!
Order Loft a taxi, and get rid of him, we will never get a better chance if three clubs are supposedly after him.
Lucky today, because only Carlisle in the bottom five managed a win, but we need some wins ourselves, as soon as possible.1 user thanked author for this post.
contraindicated.
A fantastic Football Forum word, must be a first, are all those letters in the right order les? How did you not get that into The Unassuming Assassin?
He checked with me first Cass, just to confirm the word is correct, I informed him that I had never heard of the word, but I might not be the best person to ask ha ha!!, I sometimes have difficulty with four letter words!!!!!!!!

Well done Keith and the lads, they started well, then it was even up to half time, and we then had full control of the second half, and really deserved the three points, but Oldham are a bloody poor team, and look likely relegation fodder. My assessment of the team today:-
WATSON—7—Played very well and looked to be in charge of his area, could have done better probably with their goal, and looked rooted when it floated over.
O’MALLEY—6—Played well enough.
TAFT—5–Very shakey, and also poor work when they scored, not safe in defence.
ONARIASE—7—Once more very solid in defence, appears to be very dependable.
ROWE—5—Had a quiet game today.
PUGH—5—Also has played a lot better and should have scored a goal.
HIPPOLYTE—8—My MOM today and seems to have gained a lot of self confidence these days.
HACKNEY—6—Had a very good second half.
GREEN—6—Had some nice quick runs, but his shooting and final ball lets him down.
JARVIS–5–Very poor today and it was correct to sub him at half time.
BUNN–6—Did a lot of good link up work, but his shooting was poor, plays well with Loft.
LOFT—8—Brought on at half time and was him that changed things, well played!!REF—8—Got most things correct, but allowed far too much time wasting.
HILL—9—Has got the lads a lot fitter than numb nuts before him, and is getting the best out of the players, better style of setting up the team, and is certainly the “dog wagging the tail”, the team still have a chance of staying up under Keith Hill, under Cox we were doomed.
SUPPORTERS—9—Nice to see so many fans getting behind the team, and making the noise they provided.
FUTURE—–A couple of home wins against Northampton and the vital game against Carlisle would make a vastt difference to our league position, and with this new found spirit, this can happen!!!!, so once again, well done today!!!

I would love to wish ALL members of the Iron-Bru Forum and all at SUFC a very happy New Year, and hope that you all have a much improved time than the past two years, which have been hell for many of us.
This also includes the FORUM SIX members that have been part of a lot of banter over the years, no hard feelings guys, and enjoy the future.
I really miss the GP days, and hope that things get a lot better under the new manager, it would be nice if enjoyment and entertainment could once again be gained by a Saturday visit into the Cluggy, the problem is that the best mates that sat in my seat location have also stopped attending matches so it would be a bit lonely right now.
Anyway, all the very best guys from bartonscorpion.

nORTHUMBIRON—-1957 was my year to remember pal a really great year fore entertaiment at the OSG, the 3-1 away win in the FA Cup against Cup specialist Newcastle was brilliant and our year when winning the Giant killers cup. Pity but we never seem to advance to the stage of the big guys entering the competition these days.

My comment no.2 regarding me wanting and requesting many many times on this forum over the past year, that things would never change for the better under Cox and that he should be sacked, looking back, it did not help when the same forum members kept saying that “he was local” and that he was a “very nice man” did not help in any way.
The truth is that he has not got a clue, and that he will never get a job like he had at Scunny ever again, but I still think that he was kept on because he was part of the plan that would see SUFC go bankrupt, but it went on too long which forced his own sacking.3 users thanked author for this post.
The reason that I have not renewed my long term season ticket is not just a single one resaon, it is a few reasons:-
1. Because of the very boring so called football ptresented to us over the past four years.
2. Because Cox was not sacked last January, and Swann kept saying that he was doing a good jpb.
3. Because there not being any signs of things getting any better.
4. Because of the Chairmans lack of interest, and all of his faulse promisses turning out to be just trying to take the piss out of the clubs supporters, none ever came true.
5. Because I just thought, after supporting the team for 70 years, there is no longer any enjoyment in attending.
6. Because I just could not take any more of the team defending every match, even at home.
7. I was angree when the ground was taken from the clubs ownership, to pay for an £11 million pound debt which was run up, and suppervised by the same person that got the into debt.
8. Last of all, all of the friends near the location of my seat have also stopped attending.My reasons are nothing to do with Covid, I have had my 3 Covid jabs, and my season flu jab, and feel safe enough in the Gluggy, even more so now, because there isn’t anyone within 3 metre of my usual seat, this can clearly be seen when watching i-follower, I don’t mind the £10 i-follower fee, but are not prepared to waste a full day at the ground and come away bored, no entertainment or enjoyment gained, the owner cannot be arsed to attend, so why does he think that we should!!!!!!!

I think you should have the jabs and if you don’t you are taking a bigger risk and also could be spreading it, I was Ill with the same symptoms before the Covid was announced and Doctors didn’t know what it was and didn’t know how to treat that infection and lots of other people had it, but Doctors now reckon it was Covid, but after having a chest infection for 7 weeks over twice the normal length of a chest infection I can assure you alcazar it wasn’t fun and Covid19 isn’t the flu and I know people who died from it, and it is the only time in my life I have had a tin of soup for Christmas Dinner, and spending most nights sleeping in the chair because it was a nightmare laying in bed because you had a struggle breathing when laid down, and since that time it has got a lot worse.
I had a similar period Mick, it was in Dec / Jan and early Feb, just before the Covid first came to be, I also went practically blind for about ten days, but the sight gradually came back, but not as good as before, during January, I lost my dear wife with breathing problems, I put both these down as Covid which so called started in Feb / March.
Hope you are feeling a bit better Mick, but as you say, it was probably Covid.

No doubt the youth team will have brought it back with them from Manchester. We were told we needed a vaccination to bring the “R” rate down, well most of us have probably had 3 vaccs and the “R” rate is between 3 and 5 the highest it as ever been, we were told the virus unchecked would cause a 2% death rate, he ho we’ve passed that rate because we’ve suppressed it so long, just goes to show the scientists and medics got it hugely wrong, fair play to Alcy on his stance. If anyone is being selfish BS it is you, you must be at least 80 yes old, why should society be looking after you? can’t imagine your contributing to the wealth of the nation anymore in fact you are drawing a pension and are a drain on the NHS, whereas many of those 10 to 15% you refer to are paying national insurance and taxes to get hospital treatment, Which is not free it all and as to be paid for by taxpayers, no doubt you contributed as well but they never envisaged people would live as long as people are nowadays so do us all a favour and help out in a way that you know you can.
What a stupid arse hole you are Awaywego, so just to correct your ignorance, I worked overseas for 40 years, and this brought into the British acconomy probably 4 0r 5 Million in foreign money, that is better than your few pounds working in a shop or probably on the dole more like, I also paid NI payments during those 40 years. And please do not forget that I also worked in the UK 13 years, paying full tax and NI payments, possibly earning more in those 13 years than you will in your sad lifetime !!!!!
So you think that people that reach pension age should be put down, well it is probably a good ides, but we have a vastly more right to be here than your bloody drop out illegal boat invaders, that have never, and probably will not contribute a bloody penny to Britain.
Anyway the News tonight are saying that 73% of hospital entries with Covid are people that have not been jabbed, so you can stick your bloody argument up your arse, you horribe prick.

….only two things in life we can be sure of, death and taxes
Well Iron-awe, I am not too sure about the taxes ha ha!
Now the Iron appear to not lay down and let teams come at us for the last 30 mins, but why the hell didn’t Swann get rid of those waste of time so called management in Cox and Lillis, they should have gone last January, but so many so called supporters wanted them kept on “because they are very nice men”, what a load of balls that turned out to be, the same people now agree with this, but lets hope it isn’t too late.
