Masterstroke! – 2 players in one and saves us wasting money on a back up keeper.
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jan/17/scunthorpe-united-bristol-city-league-one-match-reportHe’s tried the kids over and over. Why not put all the duds and no hopers and the ‘scared of getting injured’ brigade in if it’s a no hope game. at least that way we’d have got some satisfaction of booing some of those who deserve it – then again I assume our owner wasn’t there.
Graham Rusling – Fox St end on the goal line and put it over the stand!
Didn’t Stuart Pilling score in the first minute?
Yes we timed it at about 12 seconds – I was doing the ‘shot list’ for Harold Caine the photographer who was filming for Yorkshire TV. We were positioned at the bottom right corner of the cantilever.

Calvin Andrew
Can’t see it. 35yrs old and only played 11 games in the whole of 2021. I know Hill used to love him but I think he’s expired now.
Over the Hill then?
The Milwall game is also memorable as they had a good side. Some of the Millwall nutters dressed as surgeons!!
Known as ‘treatment’ if I remember. Another set of morons went by the name of ‘F Troop’.
There’s a documentary somewhere about them.

But hey, he’s an astute businessman, he knows what he’s doing.
Sadly – this may be true.

Not for me.
He has absolutely nothing to gain from a career standpoint in coming here and I Don’t want to see another Scunny hero’s reputation ruined.
But have Neil’s inadequacies as a manager ruined his playing reputation? I would say not. Similarly Nigel would be in a win win situation with regard to his standing as an Iron legend. Let’s not forget when he left he hauled Southampton from the bottom of league one to the premiership. His reward was to be replaced by Pochettino, albeit after our then Chairman said that the Saints weren’t a club he would recommend doing business with – perhaps Nigel should’ve heeded his advice.
No! But Henry VIII was shagging Jane Seymour whilst Ann Boylen was having her head cut off!
And now Steve Bruce can afford to shag anyone he wants while his ex bosses cut anyone’s head off they want.

October 19, 2021 at 7:31 pm in reply to: PL clubs vote to block sponsorship deals linked to a club’s owner #216042Won’t make a scrap of difference. Club owners will remove links to any sponsorship money well before any scrutiny. These guys (and gals) are always at least 3 jumps ahead. Sometimes that’s why they have so much money.
You make it sound like Swann putting the club up for sale will improve our performances on the pitch!
…and him not doing so will what? Can’t make them worse, can it?
Isn’t it indicative of our current plight that Rory is now considered our pick of the crop over a mish mash of jobbing journeymen ill coached and ill managed, who can be neither bothered nor incentivised into earning their wages. What a sad club we have become. Leaderless, adrift and without any focus whatsoever. Come on UTI99 – spin this!
And I’m sure a reply of ‘Zzzzzzz’ won’t cut it.2 users thanked author for this post.
The manager’s summary in his interview was ‘pityful’
Don’t think anymore has to be said – other than he seemed overly nervous and on the brink of saying something he shouldn’t.Going well isn’t it?
We’ve got Ivan Toney ………….we’ve got………
One change is all that’s needed and it may not necessarily be the current manager.

For a ‘can’ of Guinness that should read – edit not working.
Revenue streams at a football stadium are many and varied. I stopped using the car park several years ago after the final game against York – stuck for nearly 2 hours. I stopped using the catering after queueing before half time to be told they’d run out of burgers. I stopped treating myself and my son to executive tickets after they withdrew the free car parking option. I stopped using the Iron Bar after they ran out of all draught beers apart from Strongbow and were charging £4 for a Guinness served in a plastic glass. To say our current chairman has experience in hospitality does beg the question as to the definition of that word. Well it means -‘the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.’ There you go. Not sure what it will take or me to stop paying to watch the team – after nearly 58 years perhaps I’ll give it a bit longer. Just think with a little bit of attention those streams could be a lot more lucrative than at present. I work in hospitality and I have to say that the current set up at the ground seems to generate complaints rather than revenue.

Most of the folk that post on here have NEVER been in the game at all but can see what the problems are.
All our kits seem to be migraine inducing at the moment.
25 games in 3 years at Killie so he should be nice and fresh. At 6’2″ could he be covering CB as well as FB?
Yes if you are pretty poor in 6 positions (including the bench and the treatment table) rather brilliant in one, then it’s a shoo-in!

Maybe he thought Sutton was from Sutton-on-Sea!!
Not a chance, and if the did sign anybody they will probably name and parade them in July wearing the new shirts.
New shirts in July? – now that would be a bonus!
Clearly, there are basic levels of competency: trapping the ball, accuracy in passing, not gifting possession, grit, determination and a little vision.
This seems to be a word for word opposite of the criteria we have been using.

CT, the quote was attributed to Einstein, –
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”About sums Cox up.
I think Thomas Edison’s quote might be apt here also. When accused of not making many discoveries, he contered – ‘On the contrary, I have discovered HUNDREDS of things that don’t work’.
IF Loft turns up, I think this is the best we’ve put out so far. Let’s get McGahey fit and we may see a corner to turn – then we’ve got to turn it.
As there are only 2 choices and sacking hasn’t worked on the past several occasions – let’s try backing for a change.
Should we form a ‘succession list’ of ‘Bru’ members in case anyone else goes down?
