I wish Scunny were similar to England at the moment, good luck Mr Tuchel you’ll need it with our fickle fanbase.

Been quite a few on here saying the need for another striker, if you were witness to the glaring misses against Oxford City then maybe they have a point, hopefully Butler will be pressing for another option up front now after last Saturday’s dross in front of goal.

Yes. There’s the rub.

Well yes it is which was my point about players missing nailed on chances they should bury with their eyes shut, not Butlers fault whatever the brand of football produced on the day.

[Iron-awe]

If we win home games fans will turn up IMO the unattractive football will be forgotten by the majority, it’s all about winning to most of them.

According to the web they haven’t been produced since 2010, wonder what took them so long to realise lol.

Worth noting despite the final scoreline on Saturday we had numerous chances to win whereas Oxford City didn’t. Say what you like about Butlers style of management but when your best striker misses two golden opportunities to head the team in front I can’t see how Butler can be held responsible for that. It was overall a disappointing display but we should have won if all the players had turned up and done what they are best at and what they get paid for.

… is, imho, a more than reasonable starting point for your world view.

I heard Nic Dakin on the radio this morning claiming that the latest steelworks story is rubbish (follow the link here) and that the government is working “very hard, day and night” to save Scunthorpe.

Who believes him, and who doesn’t?

Who knows what to believe anymore, the last government weren’t bending over backwards to save it either. You either invest in blast furnace steel or you don’t, I wasn’t aware until recently that EAF produced steel was as flexible as it was, it won’t cover all needs but it’s suitable for rail production and I do know that Scunthorpe has had a lot of overseas contracts for rail line in recent years. Some other European countries are investing in BF produced steel but most of the raw materials to produce steel has been imported into our and other countries in the EU for many years. What is the long term strategic answer? pass I really don’t know but I don’t want our local steel industry to die completely, it’s too important to the town as a major employer in lots of different firms locally involved in steel production.

Izal toilet paper was a killer, why someone thought wiping your a**e on greaseproof paper was a good idea totally baffles me. Not recommended for hemorrhoid sufferer’s.

Fine line between total numpty and wind-up merchant, always felt Awaywego has a foot in either camp.

[Iron-awe]

Unfortunately it’s the old social media thing again isn’t it and it’s not just moaning football fans, some idiots like Farage even used it recklessly after those little girls were murdered in Southport, using lies and falsehoods which brought rioting morons onto the streets intent on arson and murder.
Not sure what the answer is, free speech is important and some will justify saying anything whilst hiding behind it, as far as our fans go then most are sensible and patient, not everything said on a football forum or Facebook group will IMO reflect the majority opinion anyway. Most fans still prefer chatting amongst themselves on match day and quite a lot go to football to watch a game and except it for what it is. I support the club and the current board, without them we wouldn’t have a club now.

Farage is ultimately a poor man’s Donald Trump, talks a good game but his objective is self interest nothing more. A very poor example of what an MP should be about, sadly he’s not alone either.

Your narrow minded agenda is pretty clear on this forum 414, we’ll leave it at that I reckon.

[Iron-awe]

I am making a general comment about the majority of managers, I dispute your point about hearing hundreds of managers hold their hands up, a few maybe and maybe those with plenty of fiscal clout to change things if necessary. If you heard all his interview yesterday he did admit they could and should have done things better but if your waiting for him to say he’s got things completely wrong after where the team is after ten games then I think you have a vivid imagination at best.

[Iron-awe]

Got to admire Awaywego’s tenacity but he won’t have a clue what the club will be making till the balance sheets are published, until then as usual it’s pure speculation.

[Iron-awe]

Well we shouldn’t be paying a transfer fee for a player unless we can afford it under the financial restructure that’s taken place over the last 12 months, any idiot should know that.

[Iron-awe]

There is only so much that can be said about a game afterwards and most clubs have over 50 games a season with managers or assistants making after match comments on them all. One thing for sure is I haven’t heard many after match comments from managers or staff etc where they publicly shoot themselves or the club in the foot just because a few opinions on a local club forum demand change. It’s not how the real world works and change, if needed, will come eventually anyway.

[Iron-awe]

The whole point about having a united squad all pulling in the same direction is the most important thing for any club wanting success, Butler isn’t going to come out publicly and criticise his tactics or the teams overall performance this season so far just to satisfy a few who don’t understand how the ethos of a team and a football club works and anyhow being top helps him with his PR at the moment, why say anything different, it would be football political suicide.

Don’t see much division on here I-A.
‘Contract extension badly timed/too soon’ and ‘Butlers tactics are questionable’ seem to be pretty standard opinions.

Our friend 414 reckons the fanbase is divided over the issue and I was just redressing the balance with my post about yesterday’s home crowd in the main stand

The contract extension was barely mentioned in the main stand area where I was sat yesterday and as for the fanbase being divided, well maybe the ones on here and some on social media, big deal.

Just because he’s not saying any change publicly ( who likes admitting their wrong particularly football managers) doesn’t mean the management team aren’t looking very thoroughly at what can be done to improve form.

[Iron-awe]

They will move for loan players if and when the budget allows, calm down Awaywego your a bit like a broken record, if your not blowing smoke up Hilton’s arse your talking crap about club finances, in Michelle we trust.

[Iron-awe]

Nobody outside of the club hierarchy will know what cash we have or have not to spend on new or loan players, you can speculate all you like Awaywego but it does not mean you are correct and anyway you dont run the club they do.

[Iron-awe]

Think some people have already substituted their brain with a ” splash the cash we don’t have ” attitude. It’ll be fine who needs a well run club anyway? Oh wait…. what almost happened a year ago!!!

[Iron-awe]

Yep I thought Clunan and Roberts were the best of an average bunch at best yesterday, still had enough chances to win but our strikers were really poor. Whitehall did a lot of work and put a lot of running in but his two headed misses were absolutely appalling, truly amateurish and please Whitehall stop throwing yourself on the floor looking for non existent free kicks, makes you look such a pillock.
