some more of ‘Swanns’ signings promoted to the Premier league?
Only signed Toney on loan, when it came to getting him on a permanent Mr Big Money Bollocks ran away and hid. Just a fake. Chuffed for Toney, good player hope he does well, Daniels won’t be their number one in the Prem, don’t think he was in the Championship.

First time I’ve not bought one in 16 years, not convinced by the Prawn or by this Government’s time frame for letting all fans back in to watch matches. One game at a time for me, it’s my first season at the cheaper 65 rate so I’m not too fussed about paying for games when it suits me, it’s still cheaper then the £360 I’ve been paying for years. Honestly think we will get poor support next season, it’s a culmination of everything from pandemic to poorly run football club by a man who only cares about his own opinion and his business intrests. Our club is slowly fading away.

Yosemite Sam would be preferable, he’s a cartoon character who would do well in our comedy set up.

Apparently the Prawn is gonna put it all on a racehorse at 150-1, it’s part of his new financial package to get us into the Championship within the next 25 years. If he said it on Humberside somebody would believe him.

If we don’t have the new signings in place it will no doubt be the fault of Covid. Probably the Indian variant the he wasn’t expecting at the time of the last interview.
Maybe we will sign a glut of Asian players in July and the Prawn will announce they all agreed to join in May but we held off till we were certain they were all clear of the Indian Covid variant. Now that’s a PR goer, better double check with Buck’s though.

It always makes me laugh when some say “why did we let him go?” when most of these players have been subjected to dogs abuse at games and on social media by a certain section of fans.
If you ridicule young players either at games or on social media don’t expect their confidence to be sky high to perform how you wish.
Have to say I agree with uti99 on this one, two of the posters on this topic who have expressed a preference for Wootton again due to his non league form are the ones who described him when he played for us as ” utter dog mess ” and ” not even non league standard “. I realise people are allowed a change of mind but the hypocrisy on Wooton is laughable, if the Iron approach Wooton about a return he should tell them to shove it. If Notts Couty get back in the league next season he will have been justified plus they are a much bigger club then us anyway both factually and historically, why lower yourself.

Now time to get a little excited about The Iron, though. Our team for the coming season should be pretty much in place by this time next week -well, shouldn’t it?
Oh ye of too much faith.
Oh ye of little irony recognition. 🙄

Aye we all start off as young lads in our working lives with dewy eyed ambition and realise after a while that money talks. Easy to do plenty of badge kissing and fist pumping towards fans when playing for Man U, Liverpool and the like when you are on mega money, not so easy when Preston offer maybe two grand a week more and the mortgage money is a bit hard to meet every month playing for Scunny and you fancy a new car too. Paul Hayes was one of my all time favourite players and I go back as far as Barrie Thomas, David Sloan etc, loved watching Haysey play for us, he deserved his moves and more money in a short career, don’t begrudge the lad a penny he was a great player for us, good luck to him and any player who improves their lot after leaving us.

UEFA aren’t going to change back now Awaywego to the old European Cup model because the game is now just money driven but I agree with you about the old format. The best team from each country meeting in a simple knock out competition was brilliant for fans and made for some real exciting European nights at our biggest club grounds, although Liverpool v Barcelona and City v Spurs in recent seasons were pretty exciting games TBF, gone forever I’m afraid but I guess the top brass will say that’s how the game develops. Maybe some of us are just stuck in a rose tinted glasses time warp when it comes to big team football from years ago.

Indeed happy birthday Barrie also not forgetting Ron Ashman who would have been 95 today if he was still with us. Although criticised at times whilst managing the Iron, I wonder how many older fans would appreciate Ron’s steady hand on the tiller right now as manger, albeit he was working with a more reasonable and tolerant board behind him. One thing about Ron he was allowed to manage without too much board interference, or that’s how it appeared back then.

Yes to all the above plus and I have said this ad nauseam for a while, an experienced spine to assist all the young inexperienced guys we have left in the squad. Keeping them fit would be the challenge but if we sign these players and keep them fit we have half a chance next season.

Not got mine yet, may go game to game and see how it goes, haven’t felt this way about the Iron before TBH, the Prawn has a lot to answer for.

Who said I was bored dick head.
Come on don’t bite, it was a cracking second half and what a brilliant goal to win the cup. Well done Leicester and we’ll done Schmeicel, got to be one of the best saves ever in an FA Cup Final. 👍
