    Buck’s used to accuse several posters on this forum who disagreed with his viewpoint as being ” the usual suspects “, I can announce tonight I have no intention of buying Scunthorpe United FC.

    Wow those Lionesses I mean just wow. After another sticky start against a really good side they grew into the game and took the lead with a very good goal by Mead. Second half they just took control with some great possession football, excellent passing and some amazing finishing. Great to see the veteran Fran Kirby score the pick of the goals with a proper accomplished finish. Well done ladies, will be cheering you on in the final at Wembley on Sunday. ⚽👏👏👏

    Another big test for the ladies tonight against the second best team in the world in Sweden ( think England are ranked eighth ). Come on you Lionesses the nation is behind you. ⚽👏👏👏

    Madden’s still doing the business, he was just going through a baron run, could have just rested him. Selling him wasn’t a bad mistake. lol. Thanks for backing me up there Ferrite.

    Barren run, he wasn’t a member of the aristocracy to the best of my knowledge.

    Some good points raised all round in several of the above posts and I personally agree with the points raised by NI, why would you detach yourself from people you need to confer and hopefully get along with for the betterment of all. I know the leave and remain camps at times were bitterly opposed and it caused such a lot of ill feeling and upset particularly among even some family members nationwide but if the price of leaving is ten to thirty years of uncertainty then we must ask ” was it all worth it”, I still say not but it’s just my opinion.

    Thanks JI for your response, I guess your right about long term we will have to wait and see and certainly in ten years we might have a better picture of how things are, as for thirty years then I guess you and I won’t be around anyway. As for myself I read about the struggles of some of our fishermen trying to move their products and failing due to red tape but that is a result of leaving the EU not the fact that the EU are deliberately inventing new problems just for us, we left the single market and the Government knew there would be problems but they never properly addressed them when sorting out a deal. In all my forty years as a professional lorry driver I never once encountered a 3000 strong lorry park on the M25 due to queuing for crossing to France at Dover and after being told leaving the EU would give us back control I believe this incident shows that we haven’t. Maybe these are all things that resolve in time but the constant chaos for travellers, fishermen, farmers and business in general in now dealing with the EU is wearing very thin for a lot of the population. We are where we are and we won’t be rejoining anytime soon but I believe leaving the EU will be a long painful transition for a lot of our citizens and I honestly think our leave politicians knew this buy still pushed ahead regardless. The lack of honesty has been appalling IMO.

    Point out a few things that have improved since Brexit then JI, you don’t have to get engaged fully if you don’t want to but please give us your assessment of how it’s going in your opinion.

    Some fairly big clubs can’t sustain Premiership football, Norwich, WBA, Burnley, Fulham, Watford etc but they keep on trying hoping one day it will stick because that is where the mega bucks are ( not that Buck’s that posts on here occasionally). As long as money is the key to success to achieve status and a chance of more money then certain people will chuck money at certain clubs who in the grand scheme of things would not really be seen as a Premiership club now. I mean what the hell were Bournemouth doing up there for awhile based on club size, fanbase and infrastructure, I mean even Hull are babbling on about getting there again.

    That was a shocker from Gallimore, protecting the ball shouting for the keeper to come and pick it up, and then when he went for it he decides to kick it past him.

    I hear for an encore he does a bit of juggling with pint glasses whilst balancing a 50 pence piece on his nose.

    Watched the programme the other night Gurny, very interesting and eye opening to see the lengths multi national industries go to to protect their brand at all cost even damage to the environment creating massive long term problems for the planet. The power of the dollar eh, was it ever thus.

    I heard months ago wren kitchens were interested, anyone else hear that one?

    Think Wren may well be over their head with costing their rapid global expansion in such a short time. What with the current inflation rate and people worldwide short of ready spending cash they may well be feeling the pinch debt wise themselves, don’t think a struggling non league side with few resources and a small fan base will be a very enticing project at this present time IMO.

    SST-I have no intention to buy a season ticket whilst Swann is still involved in any way.Do you think it is safe to buy one now?

    FFS you clearly like many others including myself have a serious issue with Swann being in charge, when he’s gone buy one, if he stays don’t, it’s not rocket science use your loaf. I will be attending home games on my own terms this season but it won’t be every game and it certainly won’t be the first home game with a 17.20 k.o.The TV people can get stuffed changing bloody times round to suit them, it’s the peoples game not there’s, 1500 k.o or piss off. Thank you.

    I wonder what UTI made of that mess of a performance from Swann on the podcast. :-)

    He/she probably helped write the script for the Swann performance.

    According to BBC Look North the deal is now at the FA for approval

    Yeah the BBC are repeating snippets from last night’s podcast, don’t get excited till he’s gone for good. Don’t hold your breath.

    You lot believe what you want but nothing has changed IMO, he is still the owner and I’m not convinced about the negotiations regarding a sale of the club.

    Great win for the Lionesses tonight against Spain, under the cosh for a lot of the ninety minutes by a very good Spanish side and England will be disappointed with the goal they conceded but showed proper English spirit by grabbing a gutsy equaliser then winning it in extra time with a cracker from Stanway. Into the semi final with a brilliant attitude and good solid English football, well done ladies 👏👏👏

    Ask him has he sold the club first question. If it’s no but, we can turn off and concentrate on the Lionesses, actually if he’s not told us about a sale by 8 then it will just be the usual bag of bollocks regurgitated so I won’t be listening by then.

    just watched this YT vid .. dont know if its been posted here already but here you go .. being as i have been out of the UK for a while i found it very informative re just how the club ended up so deep in the sh8t.. very sobering and worrying.

    <iframe title=”What On Earth Is Going On At Scunthorpe United?” src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/6lsBXorCH8g?feature=oembed&#8221; frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen=”” id=”fitvid0″></iframe>

    apologies if already posted and depresses any members even more.

    Started watching on you tube last night, got 15 minutes in and decided to watch the rest sometime today, it was just getting to the really depressing part and it was too hot yesterday evening to watch anymore bad news. 🥵
