‘Unbelievable Jeff!!’
1 user thanked author for this post.
I appreciate what you’re saying WG
I submitted my post above before I saw WGs. This is what I’m talking about.
Do you need to set up an account on The Fishy to post? I don’t know. I get the impression it’s not as well monitored as Bru. Personally, I think they discuss affairs of the Iron more rationally and objectively as they’re not as emotionally invested as we are, obviously. They make their minds up, offer their views on our ongoing situation without discussions descending in to muď slinging.
Not unless anybody posts or refers to libellous comments and/ or publishes abusive posts. It would be helpful if they didn’t.

Fair enough Siderite until you say ‘probably not Scunny fans’. We really don’t know so ‘maybe’ seems more on point?
It doesn’t intimidate me MKI. It may well do to those on the receiving end. Not ‘may’ actually, it does. Some Iron supporters have said so. And no, I’m not interested in a playground spat either. I’m just telling you what I’ve seen and my view on it. I’m also not interested in having the last word. It’s a forum and no reason it shouldn’t be discussed. Couldn’t care less if you ‘promise not to respond’ or not tbh. Thanks
‘In all my years watching SUFC I have never known fans being told they are club killers by various anonymous accounts and threatened with a slap…’
However you look at it, it’s not good!
Not so long ago a board member called fans morons.
Return for the Swann’s anyone? Worked out so well last time.
Are you suggesting calling fans morons and threatening physical violence are similar?
No but I am suggesting a verified insult to all Iron fans by a board member of the club is significantly more serious than a threat of a slap by some anonymous idiot on social media.
To clarify, this is numerous accounts that have been set up and deleted over the last few weeks and it’s far more intimidating and threatening than ‘a slap by some anonymous idiot on social media’. Unless you’ve seen a lot of this content on social media yourself and know different? I’ve seen it, so have others. Being called morons is far more serious? Please…

The language and rhetoric from Mr Gresham seems familiar.
These new characters that have joined bru in recent times bare the hallmark of Badapple.
Blimey, I’m sure he’s got better things to do!
I know the answer to that: all of us!

‘I’ve got a pocket full of pretty green’. Or maybe not.
Wasn’t sure of you were about to break out in to a Jam song or an Oasis one there.
I think it’s run it’s course now BS. Don’t worry about it.

‘Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now’
‘Any idea when it started?’
Yes, a few weeks back. Don’t recall seeing anything of that nature towards Iron supporters before that, even at the height of the ‘Swann Out’ period
Could be completely unconnected but I’ve seen this sort of thing recently following the links Iron Bystander posted. What the truth is, and the root of the accounts, is unknown. But any wonder there’s increased paranoia?
Who’s Iron Bystander, is it another fake account?, thought our linksmith was Interested Bystander?
Slip of the tongue. I meant Interested Bystander. No more a fake account than any of ours I suppose? Certainly not an account that’s threatened physical violence.

‘Ironforever99 has a bit to say about the abuse.’
Saw some of the earlier posts from Ironforever99 but not the last one. Are the burner accounts threatening physical violence happening again then? I mentioned this disturbing trend last week. I saw them, as I’m sure others did. Took some screenshots for what good it’s worth (probably nothing). There’s the toxicity, right there. Not people questioning or criticising the owner.

April 24, 2023 at 9:37 pm in reply to: Yet another…’what have you been listening today?’ Thread #260964Saw this from Saleiron and echo those sentiments:
‘I have seen no one condoning abuse of the owner. Let’s not conflate that unacceptable behaviour with a healthy scepticism and a critical eye being applied to his decisions. Part of the reason we are where we are is a failure to do that sufficiently during Swann’s tenure.’

Totally agree Siderite. I would add, most the insults and abuse on here and social media seem to be coming from those not willing or prepared to question Hilton and raise concerns, towards those who are and are doing. I can understand some supporters being unhappy that Hilton has his critics, but watching sensible discussions frequently descend in to mud slinging and slanging matches is tiresome. If some supporters don’t like seeing the warranted questions and concerns, it’d be appreciated if they said why with some dignity and decorum or ignored it.

IB, mind me asking what has fuelled your obsession? Genuinely curious.
I was forwarded a link to the interview Hilton did after the Torquay game and was asked for my opinion and observations.
I am not obsessed with Hilton. However, the number of red flags hold my interest.
Fair enough. As I said, genuinely curious. Appreciate the reply. Red flags? Agreed.

More speculation on Twitter and Facebook from what I can see
‘He’s changed his name a few times and possibly operated in the grey area with his businesses in the past. That’s all that’s really come to light.’
Not being funny Cliff, but that doesn’t really inspire confidence and trust.
‘unfortunately for Hilton the form on the pitch has only fuelled Paranoia and speculation.’
Not just the form on the pitch though is it? The paranoia and speculation isn’t borne of that. Just my opinion. Hope your faith is justified. We shall see.

With so many rumours flying about, I’m finding it hard to take ‘which I know to be valid’ too credibly. I think that’s reasonable, don’t you?
‘I’ve got my information this week which I know to be valid and suggests his intentions are in the interest of the club and there’s exciting, sensible developments ready to be implemented which will make the club sustainable and improve the experience for everyone.’
Cliff, did your source give any indication when we might get to see or hear these plans?
IB, mind me asking what has fuelled your obsession? Genuinely curious.
