No BLT Israel was sacked because his views didn’t fall in line with Australia rugbys Views he did sue them and won an out of court settlement, The human rights act provides us all with the freedom of thought, belief and religion. No more no less. He just expressed his religious view that all gays were going to hell and that is what his religious freedom and belief says,might not fall in line with your view but it’s something that you have to allow, otherwise we will end up with a dictatorship, which maybe all well and good unless you end up with the likes of uncle Donald or uncle Kim running the show.

According to this logic any homophobe can spout hate based on one’s sexuality and just proclaim it’s due to their religious beliefs…and we’re supposed to just accept that as OK? Seriously? There’s a huge difference between freedom of expression and spouting hate, you clearly don’t understand the difference so go and have a lie down!

Israel Folau was sacked because he’s a homophobic bigot.

[BigLeftToe]

Goes to show what can be achieved on a shoestring budget if you make the right signings (funnily enough it’s not by signing the likes of Jarvis, KDT and Mooney who had never scored a professional league goal between them). Songo’o also looked twice the footballer he ever did for us!

Was promoted whilst playing with us, Blackpool and Oxford…can’t be all that bad. I’d take him over Watson.

[BigLeftToe]

It’ll be Slocombe who also played under Cox at Notts County. At least it’s a slight improvement on Watson.

[BigLeftToe]

“Cox is in charge.” One of the funniest things I’ve heard for a while!

He’s been relegated from League 2 twice in the past 3 seasons…will be just what Swann is after!

Why didn’t we offer Bedeau a contract to command a fee?

[BigLeftToe]

Probably cheap as chips too…let’s not forget he was just a non-league assistant manager prior to this season!

Seriously, what the f*ck has happened to this club! Rotten to the core!!

First time this season I’ve made zero effort to try and watch the game and just spent time outdoors with the family instead. Definitely the right decision after reading the comments here.

I’ve lost all interest…doubt it’ll come back anytime soon.

We just don’t look like a team playing as a singular unit at all. And I thought Cox had made us more solid at the back? Our defending is embarrassing, especially from set pieces!

[BigLeftToe]

Scrap that, it’s a 3-5-2. Double figures in corners conceded already…yawn.

[BigLeftToe]

Probably the most attacking lineup we’ve put out all season.

[BigLeftToe]

If we’re going just on this season’s signings then Swann and his “transfer committee” signed Spence, Onariase, Mooney, Vincent and Jarvis before Cox arrived.

In comparison Cox was here when we signed Loft, Turan, Hippolyte, Taylor, Brown, Howard, Taft, Karacan and Howe.

There are complete duds in both lists, likewise some of our better performers. This season has just been a shambles from the start and blame lies at the foot of both Swann and Cox.

[BigLeftToe]

Was probably my favourite fixture from last season apart from Grimsby away…two absolute wonder goals from Gilliead and Eisa.

Very much doubt we’ll see similar this time round. 3-1 home win.

[BigLeftToe]

Van Veen was re-signed during the January transfer window when McCall was in charge.

[BigLeftToe]

Think it’s a combination of things already said above, mainly that’s he’s better than Rowe (especially going forwards) and we’ll likely be interested in a permanent move of the opportunity arises.

[BigLeftToe]

He was given his debut about 20 months ago in the League Cup Vs Derby becoming our youngest ever player, so I’ve always found it a bit strange that we haven’t seen him anywhere near the first team since.

There were rumours of Arsenal sniffing around at that time too.

[BigLeftToe]

Can’t find the football league stats but Premier League injury lists are usually very up to date for things like fantasy football.

Out of the 20 clubs the current average number of first team injuries is 4.63. If it is 6 first team players we have out injured then there are 6 Premier League clubs that have the same number or higher.

We aren’t unique.

[BigLeftToe]

Same old repeated crap coming out of Swanny’s mouth! “We didn’t have a proper pre season.” Neither did any other team Peter. “We had training sessions in groups of two.” So did every other team in the country Peter! We’re just shit and I can’t see it getting any better any time soon.

If fit I’d like to see:

Howard

Howe
Onariase
Bedeau
O’Malley

Spence
Karacan

Green
McAtee
Eisa

Olomola

What we’ll probably get is Loft running around like a headless chicken chasing massive hoofs from the back…then when the ball does eventually get near him it’ll either bounce off his knee/shin to a Carlisle player, he’ll sprint off and forget to take the ball with him or he’ll aimlessly punt the ball into touch.

I, for one, cannot wait to watch.

Having had to endure a few away commentaries this season, I’m very pleased we have Mike and Tom on board. They do a great job!

Every Loft goal as earned us points.

Real shame he’s only scored 1 in the last 10 games then isn’t it? Might also help if he could control a football.

[BigLeftToe]

Nice to see Loft back to his best today. Probably the most frustrating player I’ve ever watched in an Iron shirt! We’ve seen he has some ability (albeit in a limited number of games) but days like today he’s one of the worst strikers we’ve had in recent history. 1 goal in 10 games, time for a spell on the bench and let Olomola have a run.

[BigLeftToe]

Dieng has now received a two game ban for “misleading the referee”…and a deserved one too! The Southend manager’s comments regarding the ban are just as embarrassing as Dieng’s theatrics.

[BigLeftToe]

Great result and not a bad performance. Defended really well at the end to just about keep the clean sheet in tact!

[BigLeftToe]

No shots on target in 99 minutes yet Beestin scored a goal? Very odd.

Rubbish players, rubbish game. Not much more to say than that really.

[BigLeftToe]

So…damn…boring!

[BigLeftToe]

To be fair Awaywego makes a valid point. In my line of work if somebody accused me of racist or homophobic comments and I was found guilty…I’d be straight out of the door with my P45!
