The old fashioned gamekeeper vermin poles were considered an essential piece of kit back in the day. Recently killed vermin be it rats, stoats, polecats and in particular feral cats were strung up on the pole and left there till they rotted away. The reasoning was two fold, one to keep a tally of the vermin killed so as to show off to the land owner the gamekeeper was doing his job and also the smell of decaying vermin flesh was supposed to be a deterrent to other vermin to stay out the area thus protecting the young game being reared there. Fascinating stuff really.

That’s sound logic Awaywego, those brain pills I advised you to invest in are clearly working.

Despite being no more then a slight irritant on here SS for basically saying nothing much constructive but having a pop at some you will notice you have not been kicked off or banned because people disagree with you but there has been some jocular push back. On the Facebook group you would have been gone by now because they can’t handle criticism whatsoever. We enjoy banter on here and to prove the point the word skinned in one of your previous posts was unnecessary, just thick on its own was perfect. Hope you remain on here we enjoy the leg pull.

SS appears to be confusing subtle with pathetic, still can’t work out whether he’s Dundee or Xmas.

If it involves making extra money then they’ll take it I’m sure, we need new long term investment ASAP.

All ifs and buts IMO if he’d played two up top we’d have won in normal time but you can’t argue the point his squad selection on the day was abject in a must win game.

[Iron-awe]

Chuffed for Hungary they hopefully will come out of that 16 year dark shadow. Apparently Trump thinks he’s Jesus after posting an AI image of himself on social media healing a sick man whilst bathed in a golden light wearing biblical robes. He later took it down claiming he was making out he was a doctor, complete fruit cake/ bellend.

Nowt to do with one penalty miss, his squad selection on the day was pathetic going with an extra keeper on the bench instead of another outfield player ( remember we had Boycey as stand in keeper if needed ) then playing one up top in a semi final at home he had to win in front of a huge crowd. JD bottled it he couldn’t make the correct decision because he couldn’t handle the pressure of the occasion, as I said the job was too big for him he had small club mentality.

It was this current board that sacked Jimmy after achieving 2nd place have you forgot.

Correct cass much like the man who appointed him.

[Iron-awe]

Jimmy should never have been appointed in the first place IMO, your buddy Hilton was responsible for that Awaywego, we are too big a club for little itchy and scratchy to manage, the new board after Hilton made the right choice booting him out.

Managers being sacked for being in a similar position to where we are now is down to the mindset, arrogant or otherwise of the current board or owner at the time so the manager doing his job well really has his hands tied. This current board don’t have a mindset like previous boards or other owners who wanted things their own way all the time, sometimes very unreasonably in the opinion of others.

[Iron-awe]

Yes as far as managing the team goes you can’t really fault AB that much, we all have options about how the team should set up and play and when subs should be used but he’s the guy who has got us to 5th in the National League after promotion last season on a £900,000 budget. When you consider York are top with a £4,500,000 budget it puts it all in perspective.

As I recall, yes. Not from me mind. Not a convincing performance yesterday tbh. Shaky. Hopefully improves.

The Brackley manager seems to think they were the better side

He also said missing chances has been the story of their season and better sides don’t do that too often, plus I don’t recall them missing many chances yesterday, it was a poor wind affected game that was won by a piece of class from a player who funnily enough was on the better side.

[Iron-awe]

Poor game and the windy conditions didn’t help, highlight that classic Roberts free kick, lowlight some strange refereeing decisions but it’s a win which keeps us 5th and a home tie in the first playoff game just got a little nearer. Don’t think we are good enough to go up but you never know how the playoffs will go so fingers 🤞

[Iron-awe]

Not many managers apologise, it’s the arrogance that helped make them good enough to be a professional footballer in the first place, just say you disagree, point out your reasons for saying it and move on, managers don’t really care what fans think anyway when it comes to team selection and most football matters, it’s just how it is.

[Iron-awe]

Sorry NI, hell I’m depressed now 😂

[Iron-awe]

If we need someone to cover full back knowing our defensive frailties then Scales with his enthusiastic energy is a good call, we made need extra legs mid second half in a playoff game.

[Iron-awe]

Craig you need to be on the football forum, this side is clearly marked Non Football.

[Iron-awe]

Easily said but mouthy fans are best ignored and AB being a professional should know that, hope it’s sorted soon.

Didn’t the cods win the playoffs after finishing seventh? We all would love to enter the playoffs in something like decent form but they are virtually one off cup games and we all know form goes out the window in plenty of of those games.
