He was good at spitting at opposition players and getting sent off but that was about it.

[Iron-awe]

Missed the extra time winner as I was watching Neil Young’s Glastonbury set but what a great result for the young Lions and thoroughly deserved for their overall performances during the tournament. Always tough against Germany but it always feels good to beat them, well done young England.

[Iron-awe]

Good first half in the final with England 2-1 ahead, Germany pulling one back in stoppage time but overall England have been better and could have been more in front, interesting second half in prospect, come on England.

[Iron-awe]

Has he left?

[Iron-awe]

England in the final, cracking game and two excellent finishes from Elliott, good opportunist equaliser from Netherlands who played their part in an entertaining game, England deservedly through.

Been enjoyable watch England U21’s the last week or so, entertaining stuff to knock out Spain last round and currently playing well against the Netherlands in the semifinal ( kiss of death no doubt ).

Harvey Elliott just scored a cracker for young England, hopefully final bound.

Interesting take on Trumps version of freedom of speech, he can say anything about anybody and it’s fine but he wants people criticising him shut down, very democratic way of running a country.

The final season ticket sales total should provide a good clue to next season’s average gate, would like to think a reasonable increase is on the cards after promotion.

Not sure when the shirts will be on sale but I hope they leave it till as late as possible because it appears to piss you off, which is always amusing, worth the entrance fee alone.

Staff can’t just go off on holiday in term time. Really used to piss me off and still does.

No-one gives a shit anymore NI but TBF I reckon it’s a reaction to successive governments thinking the same.

Make that arenal de castle Ironawe,

Grandsons got the retro spew looking pleasure island shirt here amongst others, no cods but a couple of Chester fans. Plus plastic’s.

Grandsons picture on tuther side with his pool gear on, shame he couldn’t have a new shirt to bring, remind us when are they on sale NI.

You should teach your grandson patience is a virtue, he will be all the more thrilled when he eventually gets his hands on the new home shirt for next season, hopefully.

Naw but I hear Awaywego is going down Cleethorpes front tomorrow afternoon eating fish and chips whilst shouting ” we ate codheads “, guess he’ll just have to wear his old shirt and just get on with it

From memory from my seat in the main stand his boot stuck in the sandy crumbling service and the rest of his leg kept turning. Really nasty, won’t ever forget him shouting out in agony as he did it, the pitch condition was a massive influence on the injury IMO.

[Iron-awe]

Did it mention the length of Dawson’s contract?, I don’t think it did, strange two players getting over the same injury although TBF to Dawson, ACL injuries in both knees one after the other is unbelievable bad luck, fingers crossed for both lads this coming season.

[Iron-awe]

Yeah officially gone, thought he led the team well and his second half of last season performances were his best out of both seasons for the club IMO. Good luck Michael and thank you.

That is massive news, to only lose Fitz out the big three players from last season is great work by the club, be it slightly reduced terms on two year deals or just finding the money to do the deals, it’s just brilliant news for the club and all Iron fans.

Very good hope the lad progresses, he’s still very young and has a long way to go.

Fishburn was released

Best of both worlds for him, he would have been paid up till the end of June but allowed to look for a club earlier, hope the lad gets sorted out he’s been given more time to do it.

[Iron-awe]

Agreed we can’t wait any longer the club has a season to prepare for, let’s be knowing players wether you want to stay or not.

He sure likes the sound of his own voice, doesn’t make his knowledge regarding making your sums work any better though.

[Iron-awe]

Wonder if he’ll be paying up front or keep the contractors waiting?

[Iron-awe]

It will be in place now, big pile of top soil currently covering part of the West Stand car park which I presume is what’s been removed during relaying. Pictures on the club Facebook page showed the old surface be removed several days back, I’m sure it will be a massive upgrade on last season’s farce of a surface. Relax Rene keep drinking you’ll be fine.

No home friendlies is spot on after last season’s pitch disaster, get it properly laid, seeded or whatever, get the maintenance plan in place and make sure the pitch is strong and in immaculate condition before the serious stuff starts. Don’t care about pre season games, just use them as a fitness and tactical exercise and hit the ground fully fit and running when our first league fixture kicks off. Pre season and the opposition you face is overrated IMO, just be ready to go.

Legend says about the rivalry between the Beach Boys and the Beatles that Brian Wilson, on hearing Sgt Peppers on its release done eight months after Pet Sounds, sent McCartney a telegram ( wow how old is that ) just saying ” we give up”. Great rivals but good pals also, Brian Wilson leaves behind a wonderful music legacy.

My brother and I as youngsters played Telstar on a comb with greaseproof paper folded over the comb then humming the tune through the paper. Yep I know sounds weird but it kinda worked, it was equally dreadful though.

Some will be hysterical if Roberts leaves. Wailing and gnashing of teeth. Might even tempt 414 out of socials retirement with doom laden prophecies.

Oh no not that please, the longer 414 stays under his bridge the better, alternatively we could send the Big Billy Goat Gruff along just to warn him off.
