Do you remember when Steve Wharton was alleged by some to be a bad owner? FFS wonder where their brains are at now?

The whole game from start to end/abandonment was a complete farce as far as the officials were concerned, that ref should not be taking charge of a non league game anytime soon but I’m guessing he will.

Here’s a better game NI, Famous Football Quotes, I’ll kick us off with a classic that may be appropriate very soon, ” Some people are on the pitch they think it’s all over, it is now “.

Good post Jon B, nice to hear those old clubs mentioned and I remember us playing against them all at the OSG in my youth. As a matter of interest is your nickname Sloop 🤔

Great stuff AA, I remember watching that live on tv, yet strangely can’t remember what I had for tea last night.

Good job they have a defibrillator handy when Hilton announces over the tannoy he is resigning as Chairman and quitting the club 😂

I won’t mind paying again after a sunny afternoon turned to a monsoon and a football match turned into a pantomime, now where else could you get such entertainment for a £14 concession? I suspect the rerun will be a rather sober affair compared to the original game.

Well Daz that would be utopia for the Iron but I think your post is so tounge in cheek you may be in danger of a mouth ulcer. Nice try though mate 😂

30 billion was lost by Liz Truss in 44 days, you could build a lot of hospitals and council houses with that so people could be treated for illness and housed properly instead of World War 2 airfields.

I’m sure supporters of the Daily Mail would take issue over that DM but I’m sure your aware of the point I was making about journalism in general, not all goody two shoes, I thought it was a fair point to make .

I got your point – pretty sure it was deflection. The same deflecting you’re usually quite vociferous about – particularly Trump and US politics. But I digress. No wish to move off topic.

Well Hilton admitted his fraud and nine months in jail which was accurately reported but he did say he was talking to his lawyers about other issues raised in the reporting so we will have to wait and see about other points particularly about proof of funds etc. As for Trump it’s no comparison, he’s a proven liar over many issues and still denies everything particularly the fact he lost the 2020 election because no evidence of any note has been produced in 63 court cases all over the USA. However you are right we should not digress but I thought I would mention this point for balance. Let’s hope we still have a football club this time next year 🤞

Some very fair and valid points made Siderite, as for journalists wanting to print the truth, have you ever read the Daily Mail? My brother, a former journalist, always said bad news is good news for a journalist, the juicer the shite the better headlines it makes, just saying 🤷

I’m hoping the board are actively involved in seeing the future of the club is secured should Hilton choose to resign, that is the most important take from all this IMO.

Have to say am a little relieved at the outcome but what does seem wrong is that the red card still stands even if its as if the fixture never took place. Surely that isn’t right?

It’s completely right, the game was abandoned due to serious weather conditions late in the game, that doesn’t absolve the Buxton player who flattened Whitehall illegally when the game was still being played in glorious sunshine, get a grip he broke the laws of the game and will face sanction as a result, perfectly correct in every way IMO.

OK fans we are all aware of your agenda on this, back in on your box now there’s a good little stirrer.

I wonder what the referees assessor made of it all?, I would like to see that particular referee stood down while his competence on several fronts regarding his interpretation of the games rules is brought into focus, he was beyond awful in so many aspects of his refereeing on Saturday.

[Iron-awe]

I get some of your points III and your entitled to them of course but as I posted earlier are we privvy to what is a mental state or a victim card, I think personally it’s a tough call but I will be clear on one thing, Swann it seems was about to let the club die, Hilton came in and rescued it from that fate, now how things pan out in the future is up in the air but the fact the club is still operating is down to Hilton and not the previous owner who appeared was quite prepared to see it fail when he’d had enough, I’m just hoping Hilton in his mental state at the moment isn’t contemplating the same thing although he said he expected the club to go from strength to strength. As always, it’s wait and see time and we all need to keep our fingers 🤞

I wonder how the directors and fans of the sham 89 club are feeling today?

Are you privvy to what the directors already know or have known for awhile, do you attend board meetings, are you a director? I’m guessing not and what they are thinking or feeling isn’t relevant it’s what actions they take as a board in the future that will probably determine how we hope to progress as a club going forward. Whatever the outcome from today’s statement the future of the club should be at the forefront of all people genuinely interested in the future of SUFC, second guessing isn’t going to be constructive IMO but hey you think and feel what you want.

He’s admitted to not being truthful about his time in prison and I’m sure he now regrets his statements he has made in the past but either way and whatever your viewpoint we need our club to move forward and I don’t think he will be staying for long from his tone in the interview, hope I’m wrong but I think he’s going.

Is it that easy to tell the difference between a man in a poor mental state and a sob story? Not sure I’m qualified to make that call and I’m not sure you are but your entitled to your opinion.

[Iron-awe]

Difficult listen, would not be surprised if he walks and I wouldn’t blame him TBH, hope the board can come up with a constructive plan going forward if he does, indeed perhaps a way forward is already being put in place.
