Was down at the ground yesterday just after the match being played had finished, 8-8 apparently between John leggot college and some Hull team or so I was told by a guy in the car park, who also said pitch renovations were starting today but again that was just his version of events. Not much defending taken into consideration for that match though 😂
I’m guessing the owners have different yardsticks to measure what they class as success for the club based on expectations from finances provided by them and promotion followed by consolidation, which included a playoff semi final, I reckon will suffice for them. I’m happy for AB to stay based on his record over two seasons as manager and the budgets he’s had to deal with, he’s not got every call on team affairs right but which manager does if we’re being honest about it.
Maybe we should sign Vincent Kompany as manager, former centre back whose Bayern Munich team win nearly every game playing attacking football, however he has the right playing budget to help him out a bit. Give Butler a York Ciy budget and we will be promoted no problem.
I’m not sure you’re right.
He’s done the “sit on it, everyone behind the ball” too often for me, and often to our cost.Till he gets the York City budget though I’m not sure your right either, pure speculation and speculating about Butler being replaced given his track record is laughable.

It’s more about budgets them managers IMO , we can’t prove it either way of course but the team going up had head and shoulders the biggest budget in the division, the Boreham Wood manager deserves a lot of credit for managing his team to a play off final at this level.

I was expecting a cracking end to end game but you cannot expect to turn up for the last 10 minutes and think you can win a game I’m afraid we looked very poor today a game to far,promotion next season? UTI
My money will be on missing out again.
Because we’ve got Butler.You mean the guy who got us promoted last season and really should not have got us into the top 5 this season on the budget and the predictions? Oh ok.
Yeah, the guy who cost us the championship last season through arrogance, stubbornness and naivety.
And the same guy whose stubbornness with refusing to accept we NEEDED a goalie, has cost us many points this season.
That guy?
Oh, okAlways try to add a little objectivity to a discussion, never goes well after a defeat and of course people respond with opinions as is their prerogative but are completely unprovable, the board will keep AB because his record over two seasons and with his budgets available has been very productive. All about opinions however, have a nice close season everyone and enjoy the World Cup.

I’m sure we would rather play Rochdale twice next season then that long journey to Boreham Wood so I will be rooting for the underdog at Wembley. Close but no cigar for us but we half expected what the outcome would be, just need the retained list sorted asap so we can start planning next season quickly.

Congratulations to Boreham Wood what a season for them, bet Mark Hughes’s is having a right old sulk.
Ewing was motm against Southend but Evans was outstanding on the night.
You would hope Boyce and Rose are absolutely fit to be drafted into the squad at the expense of Smith and Brogan, it’s a massive game today.
Most people of a certain age have plenty health wise going on and quite a lot is some type of cancer related, what they don’t do is go forums mentioning it as a defence for their piss pot stupid references to something banal like an edit facility on a football forum, as for you Mr Xxx troll you as always can do one 🖕😂😂😂
‘One of our own one of our micelle harris she one of our own!!!!’
Not sure they all know they’re able to edit their own posts, unlike this ‘clunky’, ‘old coded’ rubbish!
Maybe one for Professor Prostate to come on and defend 😂
I see poor Dave is getting flak from Matlock fans. Why can’t they be ecstatic that they have got such a generous soul who works hard for creating a good image for his family? That’s his only motive, after all. Very ropey off pitch decisions? Can’t be; I heard he built them a wonderful bar, so surely they will all love Dave!
Stage 2: Sieze the media.
Stage ?: play the mental health card
Always thought he had mental health problems for real.
Wonder if he’ll bottle it and put an extra keeper on the bench and only play one up front in a home game he has to win 🤔
… and bill was dragged away kicking and screaming to the funny farm 😂
A Shrimper on X accusing us of ‘parking the bus’ on Tuesday. Get off the bus, don’t make no fuss mate!
You do sometimes wonder if some people actually have been watching the same game as you, it’s all about opinions though.
Indeed, and the first post you’ll see is from PD obviously he doesn’t (can’t) have a take on the situation.
How sad.Ha ha yeah if he did his club street cred would be gone.

Like I said last night was my first home game of the season.
Wow
You have such strong views of everything Iron, live in the town and don’t attend?
Is there a section on this clunky forum where only opinions of people who attend can be read?
Are you mentally ill? Just saying it’s a genuine question you are such a strange person IMO
I’d kindly suggest you never donate to anything related to Prostate C fella if that’s your level of empathy.
It’s a shame a mod gets so wound up, over the deficiencies of this forum being pointed out, they resort to that sort of response.
Anyway back to this Rochdale ticket thread eh?
Oh give over you post gotcha type posts then start bleating like a lamb when the banter kicks in,why bring up a very common diagnosed condition in a lot of older men and make out your a victim, you really are taking the piss ( intentional pun )why not make like the forums edit button and leave soon.

Calm down.
If this Forum had been coded in the last 200 years I’d have been able to edit my entry such that it reads FV (Face Value) and not the autocorrected (by this site) FB.
Also I’ve said (twice) that the 6 per ST doesn’t feel right or have you not been able to see that through your anger?

There is an edit facility after posting at the top of the post if you’d bothered to look or maybe check your post through before posting? Just saying.
Which can only be used for a limited time after posting….
That’s a very a very unique ‘feature’.
Apologies for pointing out it’s a substandard forum.
Something else which is substandard is my bladder, due to post P.C, meaning multiple visits to the loo in the night. I’m definitely at the mercy of spelling police and the warts on this forum on here on those occasions.
Just saying….
Apologies I didn’t realise you needed carrying around on a warm plate to negotiate this forum, does your Mum still wipe your butt for you aswell? Just saying

We wanted it more then them on the night and that was the difference IMO.
It’s all about money ultimately and nothing to do with how big or small a club you are. How many people wrote off Bournemouth when they made it to the Premier League but their multi millionaire owner plus the money available as a Premier League team soon shot holes in that club size argument. Probably now one of the most attractive footballing sides to watch in the Premier. Look at Wrexham what has put them in playoff contention to the Premier it’s money. We are bucking the trend this season but it happens a lot less when compared to the money issue. If we get promoted this season it will be down to great management and the players grafting their nuts off week in week out, enjoy it whilst you can I reckon.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion but a theme running through a lot of the posts on the Shrimpers forum is how we forced Southend to change their normal game by pressing them in midfield and forcing them to go long ball. Well we have a team in Southend with a more experienced manager and a squad of players assembled on a bigger budget than the Iron, so I guess their assessment of the game is down to their own inability to change things around to suit them which in theory they should be able to do with said bigger budget squad and as for their more experienced manager, he’s been booked in both games against us at the AA this season, guess refs just don’t like him, lol.

I see Hilton’s attempt to buy Matlock promotion failed. Knocked out at home to Bradford Park Avenue last night. Shame for the fans.
Hope Maison was in goal for Bradford, even sweeter for Mr Hilton to swallow.
Some on the Shrimpers forum took it badly, apparently we are a bunch of cheating cloggers who are masters at the dark arts of the game, funny I only remember their player getting sent off. Come on guys you got beat by a better team on the night try a little humility for a change.

Brilliant night at the AA, the crowd were fantastic singing throughout and really driving the team on, fair play to the Southend 1000 ( almost) who tried to lift their side all game. We should have been two up at halftime but then again Jones made a brilliant reaction save to keep us in front. Second half a real battle as they just wanted to keep the ball in the air and pump endless balls high into our box, we defended magnificently to a man and Olly Ewen had probably his best game of the season. Well done the Iron you were magnificent to a man and didn’t let the endless Southend provocation tactics get you to lose you heads. Best laugh of the night was Dec attempting to shake hands with their player being sent off late on, he wasn’t amused, absolutely brilliant.
Don’t think alcy is far off being spoon fed these days, he’s only been back 5 minutes yet seems more belligerent than before, if that’s possible.
bill doesn’t have any grey areas in his beliefs at all it’s either black or white to him nothing in between. He should go live in the USA they love that attitude there.
