    Best game for us yet today, header down to send Beestin through in first minute who promptly made a mess of a very good chance. Sent Roberts through in first half who tried to get a shot on target when a pass across the box would have been better and knocked some useful balls into players plus some of his control on the floor was pretty good for a big guy. Don’t have a problem with Beck, we played a lot more to his strengths today and he had a decent game IMO.

    Didn’t Clunan get one of the MOM awards

    the town has a major drug problem

    Probably has but I don’t think Clunan is the main dealer involved or the reason why.

    We’ve had this conversation before, if you use Beck you must play to his strengths which means fast crosses coming in from the wings so he can attack them goalwards. We also need someone playing close to him if we persist in knocking long balls down the middle of the pitch and hoping he will do something with them, on his own not a lot, with a man close by then the flicks on he wins could bear some fruit. This guy has scored goals before at this level which is why he moved up a division before he joined us, he’s not at all like Whitehall and you would not expect a man of his physical build to play like Whitehall. Play to his strengths and give him a chance, he’s a target man so play in a way that suits a target man.

    Well it is against international law trying to shift the Palastenians out of Gaza on a permanent basis, not that Trump cares because everything he says in his eyes is correct. One of his apologists was on Newsnight last night and got annoyed when asked by Vicky Derbyshire how Trump would actually get the Palestinians to leave if they refused, she seemed to suggest it was wrong to ask the question. Not answering the question is a political trait no matter which country you ask it but anybody with an ounce of commonsense will realise Trump is completely in the wrong about this issue.

    You know Trump is doing exactly like I thought he would once elected, making everyday about him. He’s in every news bulletin everyday and it’s all about him, how shocking, outrageous, whatever you want to describe his behaviour or actions he needs to be noticed and talked about everyday. Him him him him, the total narcissist is the most powerful man in the world and I believe he is very dangerous because of that.

    I like Ollie and yes he’s ruffled AB’s feathers now and again but it’s great the relationship between them seems back on track , as for the Press box being a bit exposed at the Attis, well you couldn’t ask for a better minder than Torps sat next to you.

    Doesn’t anyone think are lack of winning second balls particularly in midfield for a team lying second in the league is shocking cos I do? Sorting the forward line out without Whitehall is one thing but until we get a proper arse kicker in midfield to win tackles and second balls we will continue to look vulnerable to the likes of Curzon.

    Last time I saw someone pointing that much was a brickie round my house doing some maintenance, as for Evans in for Boyce, well it’s happening the next two games anyway so we will see how he gets on.

    Curzon looked a good side probably the best at the Attis this season but we had our moments and were worth the late equaliser through young Mo. Deffo missed Whitehall when he went off but don’t expect Beck to play like him, Whitehall is more mobile and gets about the pitch better, if you want to get the best out of Beck then play the game that suits his type of player. Would love their number 7 and 10 playing for us next season, best two players on the pitch IMO.

    Something in our favour is we aren’t playing the same way when we met earlier in the season, if both teams look to pass the ball with a bit of pace it could be quite entertaining. Draws are no good to us at home and it wouldn’t surprise me if they come and have a go, those games in hand they have don’t mean a lot now their recent form has dipped.

    JustIron will no doubt give us his intellectual post on the subject?

    Aye bet he cant wait to comment just so you can kick seven bells of shite out of him for no reason except pure vindictive behaviour.

    NLN playoff Final Saturday May 10th.

    A team of non contract trialists representing us in the final, sounds perfect to me.

    If Maw, Priestley and co had any real unity plans to support the Iron they would get behind the Iron Trust and funnel any fund raising through them, that’s where the real unity is being formed IMO in terms of members and shares in the club.

    Maw should give the £18000 raised to the Iron Trust to buy shares in the club, people then know the money is properly supporting the club through it’s fanbase. If the kids want a Halloween or Christmas party their parents can provide the money, Jerry can dress up as Santa and Maw would make an excellent Frankenstein on Halloween night.

    Trust notes state that in future, the players will be on 44 week contracts (beginning of July to end April)

    Fruit picking in (insert country) during May & June?

    Coming your way May through June the Roberts/Whitehall football skills and goal scoring course. £20 per child per day coaching fee, must provide a packed lunch and drink plus suitable wet weather clothing in case of inclement weather. That’s got that problem sorted.

    I enjoyed Steve Wright he changed how people thought about DJ’s and presenting on the radio, bit of a pioneer in this country although the Americans had been doing some similar for awhile, think that’s where he got his format from.

    If those numbers are accurate Mick then that should be enough to tell them the idea is dead in the water, we have the Trust, that’s all we need because it keeps the focal point on just the club with no other distractions, we don’t need break off faction groups.

    Sadly this reminds me of working in grim and grimy Scunny workshops in the 80s, with radio 1 compulsorily blaring out the speakers. As if the day wasn’t miserable enough, having to endure the likes of Steve Wright and Simon Bates all day. Torture.

    Thought Mr Angry had his moments TBH although most of them just made me seethe.

    Yeah probably his best interview yet on the radio this season but being 5 unbeaten and 1 defeat in 13 helps there, we all remember the sulky ill tempered interview from a few months back but he’s learned from that and as a young manager he’s shown he’s capable of changing things round team wise when needed. He got criticized for being slow to change tactics and having a poor interview technique when things were going badly but I’m delighted for Andy that he’s learning all the time and as a result he and the team are moving in the right direction now.

    Had a bit of a chuckle at the write up on the Scunny website.

    the shot moved so viciously that it had Fitzsimons well beaten and the ball would’ve been destined for the top corner if not for the intervention of the post that caused the ball to ricochet back into play before being cleared.

    Well done that goalpost.

    No more proof needed, if the goal posts and I presume the cross bars are all going to move to stop us conceding then surely promotion is assured.
