The blame clearly lies originally with the manufacturer, obviously quality control is non-existant there, how did they leave the factory in that state? I can’t help thinking that timescale was an issue, it smacks of a rushed job. If all the shirts are faulty the Club should be highlighting that and selling only if the customer is desperate for a shirt now. (Opinion)’

Have a look on Forum dei tifosi di Iron-Bru to see if they’re funding one.

He makes Whitehall look a complete amateur.

Pat Jones as TBD with JB/Ogle + Campbell on the bench and you could be close IFA.
I’d be surprised if Hurst & Ogle didn’t make the squad at least, a lot depends on formation and fitness I guess, one or two have been carrying knocks. Certainly a stronger looking bench this year.

Boreham Wood in 24th casts doubt on the validity of this IMO.

That’s politicians for you. The Trump way, don’t consult just do what you want and don’t expect your actions to be questioned.

“First team manager Andy Butler will play for the Iron as part of our Legends XI encounter on Sunday, August 2nd (4pm kick-off).”

I hope Butler doesn’t see this as an experiment. What do:-
Butler, Wilcox, Hope, Mirfin & Nelson have in common!!

He’s still trying to work out how to get 5 RBs into the team.
1 at RB, 1 as a 3rd CB and 1 as a DMF is as close as I can get. I suppose 1 on the bench is an option?

For Rene:=
“Of those on here that saw him play for the Iron… what were your thoughts on him at that time? If you can remember”

Unlike some (you know who you are) I’m never afraid to admit I was wrong. Mrs CT will confirm BTW. I have owned up before to my expert analysis having seen KK as a youngster, 6 stone wringing wet, I think in a 6-1 defeat to Arsenal but time may have dulled my memory.
A brief summary – he’ll never be any good.

Another Man U “legend” secured. Darron Gibson, 31 games in 7 years (Wiki)

A good time to rename the stands.

With appropriate sponsor

I’m struggling to see how anybody would sponsor a stand that didn’t carry their name.

Can’t agree Rene. First XI was always going to be weaker without Roberts, irreplaceable at our level. I believe the squad is stronger and will enable like for like subs without weakening the team significantly. My concern is the line up(s) he will use, especially changes during a match which normally confuse the players. (Once again 3CBs when you have no WBs can never work)

“Football fans are set for an unforgettable night this summer as former Premier League goalkeeper Mark Crossley comes to Attis Arena, Scunthorpe, for an exclusive live event hosted by Nor-Lait Promotions on Saturday, August 1st, 2026.”

I wonder if he’ll hang on for the legends game, he must have played against Man Utd.

Re-read post, example only.

[cassidystash]

From X:-
”
Nor-Lait Promotions is offering the opportunity to step onto the pitch with some of the game’s biggest names as part of the Manchester United Legends or Scunthorpe United Legends teams as part of our Iron Aid event.”

Some of the games biggest names? Not so far!!

[cassidystash]

I share your concern Apollo. Hypothetical example using possibly unrealistic figures:- Statue cost £20k, GoFundMe raises £10k, what happens to the money?

Ordered them earlier?

[cassidystash]

They’re chancing it then!

“Southend United is delighted to announce the signing of Ryan Colclough on a one-year contract with a club option for a second year.”

Will he still be playing at the end of the season or “otherwise engaged?”
Absolute waste of a talent, where could he have been playing?

Thanks lancs.

It could be too late then. Proactive rather than reactive surely.

Couldn’t work out a sensible line up out of the starting 11 or the 70 minute 11 on X. Can anybody who went give us an idea? Robinson & Carmody? Followed the game on X and from that we were lucky not to lose by 5 or 6. Butler’s post match for the insiders will have a positive spin no doubt. “Minutes for players, result not important” Has he any idea of his best 11 or his preferred system yet? Could he be looking at different systems for home and away games? I doubt NL players are equipped to cope with constant change, we saw the confusion when it was tried mid game last year, surely he’s learned from that.

A bigger legend in a town and two cities than the country. Very rare.

Can’t even use that now!! Danny Webber!! Less appearances than Eagles. NONE if Wiki is correct.

There’s also this “tap a goal kick to the keeper” tactic that’s emerged. Just because you can do it now doesn’t mean you have to. If our NL players see either of these things and try to copy, forgetting they’re NL for a reason, it’s just a disaster waiting to happen. As somebody said earlier ” if the ball is in the opposition half they’re unlikely to score.”

Scunny tactics – same outcome. All 10 back and the ball keeps coming at you. Having an outlet (or 2) is essential in these situations, why can’t (some) managers see that. Hope AB was watching and has seen the light.
