Whilst your correct that the Belgians and Portuguese players took the knee, the Belgians went down as a man in solidarity whilst the Portuguese went down in instalments. Even the commentator said finally all the Portuguese players kneel !! Just as the Belgians we’re getting back up.
…and your point is….?
FFS don’t tell Hallam he’s having a medical, he’ll probably roll off the treatment table in terror and break a leg.

Are Bradford still doing their £100 season ticket from a few seasons back? If so maybe that’s a factor but signing quite a few half decent proven league two players up is probably the main reason.
Unlike some people ( eg. Mr Fox ) who try to link the footballers taking the knee to some sort of Marxist anti democracy movement, I prefer to believe what the footballers tell us that it’s about supporting the anti racist movement in sport. Maybe I shouldn’t label Mr Fox in the way I have but his waffle about being a patriot is exposed as such when he makes such ridiculous claims about wanting the English team to lose because they support a just cause. He presents no evidence of his claims yet verbally attacks the players based on just that, he breaks Covid rules ( and openly boasts of such ) and again quotes being patriotic, shades of Hancock there, so I get a little miffed when he prattles on so in such a two faced fashion. Apologies for offending all racists on here I should know my place, thanks JI. BTW what’s your position on why so many International footballers are taking the knee in this current football tournament?
So far it looks like a replacement for McGahey and a replacement for Gilliead but we are miles short of a competent enough squad for league two. Forwards please, competent ones.

Laurence Fox must be having a nightmare Euro’s, what did he say before the Croatia game, oh yeah, ” If England take the knee in the Euro’s I want them.to lose “. Well with England, Scotland, Germany, Belgium and Portugal all taking the knee so far it’s not going too well for you Mr Fox is it? You right wing racist piece of shit. 😂😂😂
OWS at it early today, ” we’ve signed another player, that’s two now!!! please buy a season ticket, please please pretty please “.😂

What do you reckon Shrimps fans will be labelling us, ” Shrimps Reserves ” or ” Shrimps Rejects “? Either way, welcome young man and may you bring lots of luck with you because next season we shall need it in bucketfuls.

KVV was our own false No. 9 when he played last year, gaining more plaudits for his tackling back than actually spending any time in the opposition’s penalty area.
Incorrect, KVV wasn’t a false no 9, KVV was a false prophet!! That bloody beard made him look like Elijah, real Old Testament stuff, he should relocate to Pennsylvania and join the Amish community. 👀

Grealish changed things, part assist for the first and assist for the second goal, his ability to change things is a great asset for Southgate whether he starts him or uses him off the bench. Sterling has been sensational so far, some fans have a chip on their shoulder about him but for me he scores, he assists and he works hard for the team but well done every player against Germany, they all contributed and special mention for Pickford he was brilliant.

Apart from the performance against a poor Scottish side which was just unacceptable, England have improved their performance in the last two games and that’s all that counts. This is tournament football, you don’t win after one, two or four games you win it after seven and England are improving and getting more confident as a result. Still no goals conceded and now the main striker has finally contributed, if this was a German, French or Italian team people would be saying ” you can see them growing into the tournament game by game, they look a threat “. England are in the right side of the draw to go all the way and they are a threat to any team left in this tournament, no it’s not champagne Brazil type football, it never is with England but it’s winning football based on strength and team work. Other teams will fear playing England now after their management of today’s win over Germany. Nice one guys. 👏👏👏

Joining the groudstaff, at 6’2″ he will be useful at dusting the top of the crossbars between games.
I’ll settle for Southgates last three results being repeated by Cox for us when the season starts.
Comedy Gold Cass, you doing the Edinburgh Fringe this year?
Pity McMahon isn’t coming in as a replacement for the club clown Cox!!
Hmm!
Ten games in, Cox and Lillis sacked, McMahon given manager’s job with new U18s coach as assistant.
Method in the madness?
Hmm!
Scunny still relegated at end of season, McMahon sacked.
That sounds about right to me, also sounds familiar, sacking managers ad nauseam I mean.June 29, 2021 at 1:55 pm in reply to: For the first time in my life I am jealous of the Cods #209399TBF it’s a nice little article about values and bygone times, little rose tinted specs but full of good sentiment and intentions. In truth the model of the club being proposed is the one all lower league clubs should be urged to adopt if they are too survive and it’s not the first time this thing has been tried or mooted. Lincoln are making a pretty good fist of things and seem intent on bringing the community on board, others are following suit and have been for awhile. Whether these guys succeed at GTFC remains to be seen but the idea is right and certainly our current owner seems as distant as ever about wanting such a model at SUFC. Talk is cheap Prawn, actions count, the Grimsby guy is certainly talking the talk ( we’ve had plenty of that in the last 8 years ) but he will be judged by his actions long term. If he pulls it off good luck to him, despite it being our local rivals, every decent sized town deserves a community based football club, it’s still the heart of who we all are, it’s the people’s game, it brings us closer together.

Logistically Bradford should always have a bigger budget then us, it was only Swanns early days spending blitz that saw us outbid Bradford for certain players a few seasons back, McCall said as much on an ” open night meeting ” when he was here. No-one is going to slam Swann for putting the brakes on budget wise from his early days but he appears to have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous and it’s entirely his own fault for his scattergun approach when he first arrived. A Wharton style Chairmanship would have been a more sensible approach, you know, the old guy that ran us ” like a hobby ” but of course Wharton never jumped in with both feet then knicked the ground ownership when he had fu***d up. Good old days anybody?

TBF to McMahon he was a good defender when he was here if a little hot headed at times ( remember Rochdale away anybody? ) so if he coaches in training like he used to play, we may have half a dozen injured before we kick a ball in anger this coming season. 😂
Gilliead signs for Bradford, thought he was aiming for an higher league?
He will be after next season, no surprise if they go up next term.
Get on with it, Mick! (Double your usual stake!)
Bloody hell les, 20p might be pushing it a bit for mick on his pension.

Neil Cox- ” Hey Tony fancy filling in at full back/ right wing / midfield / etc etc this season. Think we might be a few players light “.
Tony McMahon – ” What the f**k, I came here to put my feet up like the rest of your coaching staff “!!! 😂

See the OWS is just reminding us all that season tickets are on sale, well how could we possibly forget. With such a plethora of new wonderful players already signed up for next season, how could any reasonable person not cash in and get signed up for a ticket straight away. Wow, I’m so excited about the wonderful team we will be privileged to watch next season, better get one now folks because they are selling like hot cakes. 😂😂😂

As long as there is something to report on Dull City, Humberside will be satisfied its doing it’s job correctly.
Yes, does it still have the same smell?
Reeks of pure Prawn to me.
I’m guessing Clarke will be on a pay as you play contract, his injury record is so poor no club with any sense would consider anything else. Agree with DSGM that centre back would be the sensible option for Clarke now injury prevention wise and he turned in some half decent displays when playing in that position for us. McGahey suffered with hamstring problems whilst here and that can be a long term issue for players once it occurs, be interesting to see how he gets on with that next season.
….and don’t forget NI all this under the Chairmanship of the man who stated that the previous owner had been running the club ” as a hobby “. Don’t remember the club being £11million in debt and not owning its own ground under the previous owner, just remember several promotions, a few trips to Wembley and three seasons in the Championship. Not bad for an old fella running the club as a hobby, you paying attention Prawn?

Of course it’s relegation next season, family jewels stashed away in the Coolsilk locker, no budget, no squad, no interest. Being successful on the field isn’t part of the bigger picture and hasn’t been for several seasons now.

England are in the right side of the draw now so I take Ferrites point, maybe not a bye if we beat Germany but apart from Denmark who could come unstuck against Wales the others aren’t anything to write home about. Tournament football is notoriously unpredictable however, watch out for Sweden. 😲
Where is he, he seems to have disappeared the last few weeks.
He’ll be horsing around somewhere.
