Great memories from watching Ray as a young lad starting his career at the OSG, I was only about eleven at the time and the great reception he received from the Donny Road End when he returned with Spurs in that pre season friendly so long ago. RIP Ray, you were a brilliant goalkeeper and a great ambassador for the game.

Am i the only one here thinking these are the foundations he is laying for him and his family to leave the club? Looking to write off the money he’s owed?? That way he leaves us in the shit on the field but off it in quite a strong position financially.or am i thinking to deep into it lol.

Yeah I’ll go with that, sounds quite believable actually, maybe Rob and his verbal truth cut him too deep.

My plan was to goad him with an age untruth hoping he’d come on and tell me to f*** off talking bollocks but he’s done that before and I ignored him then. Just nice the old guy is posting again, maybe someone nicked his shed and he’s back out in the open.

Welcome back Alcy, you have been missed young man.

Well said Rob, your Dad would have been proud mate.

Agree with all the match fitness comments and it’s maybe a blessing we got Covid in the squad fairly early in the season. I believe all clubs will get it in their squads and face a period of isolation this season and it will effect the players fitness and disrupt any earlier work they put in before and during the early part of the season. Quite ironic we got shut down with Covid just as it appeared we were improving performance wise at Exeter and we now need another short period, say a fortnight, to try and get players back up to fitness and the management team to get their heads around which players and system we can crack on with. Yes Cox is finding his feet but we knew that would happen before a ball was kicked this season, he needs time he needs fit players to pick from and he needs the senior injured and unfit players to come back when available and perform at a level they are more than capable of in this division to give him and these young lads a chance to turn things round. I can’t see the season finishing the way things are going with this bloody virus, so we had better buckle down and accept the fact that things for our club and football in general are going to be bloody difficult for a long time to come. UP THE IRON.

Tony Blairs suggestion letting people have the vaccine now if safe , but maybe only 50% effective could get us back in grounds after xmas, and more of a normality in the community, “bring back Blair”.

Wishful thinking on so many counts there I’m afraid.

The Football League are pants that’s why. Grimsby had one youth player test positive and didn’t play for a fortnight, we have several first team players test positive plus management and others isolating as a result and are allowed to carry on till today. Total incompetence by the authorities, predictable but ridiculous.

If we can manage to be bottom of the league after Saturday we might get on the telly with BBC fancying an upset. Could do with some TV money.

Yep Humberside reckoned the new keeper prevented another five goal or worse mauling and despite the error looked a good player. All players make errors, did anyone see the Codheads keeper make a complete howler on Saturday? and he’s been with them a long long time. Mind you it was funny to watch, any Codhead blunder is funny to watch.

Boots intend to charge £120 per test to the public when and if their 13 minute test becomes available. Would be interested to know the base cost for the test.

I reckon it will be a 90% mark up on that test Heathy, total exploitation by the private sector. People should avoid feeding unnecessary profiteering and leave it alone.

[Iron-awe]

Tomorrow….. should be the day we are ordered not to play for the next fortnight, this situation regarding our club and covid is beyond ridiculous.

[Iron-awe]

When I said the new keeper would throw a couple in and have a nightmare debut I was only joshing, hope he hasn’t read my post and feels he has to oblige by complying. 😲

[Iron-awe]

Ernie will have insisted it’s played, the sooner we are relegated the sooner he can knock it all down and start building houses.

I am fully supportive of our manager and he should be given 2 full seasons at least in the job.

As should have McCall, then we probably wouldn’t be in this self inflicted mess we are currently in. Shoddy leadership from the boardroom has put us squarely in this sorry state of affairs.

[Iron-awe]

5-0 to Exeter, Howard throws 2 into the net in a nightmare debut, Watson sent off from the dugout for daring to impersonate a goalkeeper. In all seriousness I hope we nick a point but I can’t see it happening, particularly as I don’t use i-follow.

If Stanton gets injured taking training at least we’ll know things haven’t changed much for him in the last twenty years. 😂

Well that’s an improvement, we were 4 goals better then Saturday.

[Iron-awe]

Going by his team set set up at home to Grimsby when we had a squad of much better players I would say tonight’s outcome barring a miracle is pretty much certain. I would take 0-0 absolutely but I’m also a realist and just cant see us getting anything, surely some ambition to attack would be a positive way to counter the constant pressure from total defending.

[Iron-awe]

Looks like a 6-4-0 formation tonight then and don’t any of you dare go over the half way line. Could it get any worse, both manager and assistant isolating and another player tested positive with a buddy joining him for company plus Russ back in charge. Beam me up please Scotty.
