Easily the best game I’ve seen was Holland Vs Ukraine. Both teams were impressive.
I’m afraid England are a bit clueless in the final third, they just seem to come to a full stop.
Things can change, remember 1966.

If those players are going to be taking the knee for the Euros in subservience to a Marxist cult I will not be watching and hoping they lose! Now we have Gareth Southgate the woke come to their support in such a degrading act! An absolute disgrace!

It’s time these pampered prima donnas were reminded that they play for the people of this country, not for their own libtard agendas!

Meaning of libtard in English

libtard
noun [ C ] US informal offensive
UK /ˈlɪb.tɑːd/ US /ˈlɪb.tɑːrd/
used by extreme right-wing people to refer to someone who believes in personal freedom and that money, property, and power should be shared fairly. Libtard is a combination of “liberal” and “retard”

So there we are, cards set firmly on the table.

First time I’ve not bought one in 16 years, not convinced by the Prawn or by this Government’s time frame for letting all fans back in to watch matches. One game at a time for me, it’s my first season at the cheaper 65 rate so I’m not too fussed about paying for games when it suits me, it’s still cheaper then the £360 I’ve been paying for years. Honestly think we will get poor support next season, it’s a culmination of everything from pandemic to poorly run football club by a man who only cares about his own opinion and his business intrests. Our club is slowly fading away.

But not nearly as cheap as the £190 I paid for mine. (One of the few benefits of being aged.)

I bought mine, this is my club and I’ll be going regardless of who’s in the dugout, who’s in the boardroom and who’s on the pitch. The swings and roundabouts of supporting a lower league team. You endure the bad moments which makes the highs so much better.

Keep the faith UTI.

Bought mine too, they are my home town team so I will continue to support them through thick and thin (quite a lot of thin at the moment.)

What is impressive is the way the other teams under threat, including Grimsby, are fighting for their lives.
The same cannot be said about us.
Saved by a sending off?
He hardly deserve it.

As far as letting the young lads have a chance, I just remember a night when the young lads were given a chance because of poor performances from the regulars many years ago, and getting stuffed 7-1.
I still have nightmares, our one goal came from the only regular.

Had to laugh at this though.

The only objection received complained that the aim should be to attract up-market restaurant chains like Nandos and Pizza Express rather than create additional shopping space

Aiming high.

Another “Rope a Dope” display. (Apologies to Mohammad Ali.)

[Iron Age]

It’s nothing that Pierluigi Collina wouldn’t have done, with greater affect.

[Iron Age]

Off, another one bites the dust.

Orange lines, orange ball?

Curiouser and curiouser.

Because of the new reality will Irish players have to qualify?

[Iron Age]

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re pert of the problem.
We all should look at ourselves to see if we have any discrimination in our make up, I think a lot of us have even if it is only minor.
The very fact that this incident happened at Millwall (no surprise there) shows the need to highlight the problem still.

[Iron Age]

Back on topic.

No attending at Scunny yet, tier 3 for the distant future.

Keep on topic lads.

Took him about 3 years to take over from Fatty Lawrence as fist choice. That was usually the way with young players at top teams. Was surprised when Iron midfielder Keegan went straight into the Liverpool team as a striker.

Injuries and a great pre season tour of Scandinavia opened the door for Keegan, he grabbed the opportunity with both hands and could not be dropped. I always knew that Clemence would make it, I was surprised at Keegan’s meteoric rise. He worked hard.

[Iron Age]

Great keeper for us, I remember one striker describing him as uncanny. At that time he had to be.

[Iron Age]

If I remember correctly, Brian Bedford was the only first teamer in that day.
Ray Clemence was not yet first choice.

[Iron Age]

Entirely predictable, I really cannot see this season being completed, for more than one reason.

[Iron Age]

Mis spelled his name, apologies to the family of Barry Mahy.

County Ground? well done Telegraph.

Came out at two in the morning to deliver my first born at the maternity home, that’s dedication.

Season ticket holders should receive their access code for the first league match today, could go on for most of the season, if not all.

You don’t need a promotional code, i didn’t have one and was wondering, so i just filled it in without one and it worked fine , got confirmation straight away,,,

As I understand it the promotional code is for free live streaming for season ticket holders until matches can be attended. They will send the code by email before the match. (when I say “will” maybe I mean “should”).

Sadly the rules of virology aren’t the same as those of the EFL!

Just to clarify, is it the “Rules of the Virus”? Or should it be the “Laws of the Virus”?

Safety should be the first port of call. Only FFP2 AND FFP3 MASKS WILL HELP AGAINST COVID. IF THESE MASKS ARE OF THIS TYPE THEN I AM IN FAVOUR OF ANY CLUB SELLING THEM WITH THERE LOGO ON.IF
NOT THEN THEY ARE NOT SAFE. THE DROPLETS OF THIS VIRUS ARE SO SMALL THAT IF YOU PUT 50 SIDE BY SIDE THEY EQUAL THE WIDTH OF A SINGLE HAIR. A MASK MUST HAVE SEVERAL LYRES OF PROTECTION.

Completely missing the point of why we’re being encouraged to wear masks. The reason is not to protect the wearer from infection (inhalation) but to protect everyone from infection from the wearer (exhalation). An ffp3 mask has an exhalation valve so is completely useless in this situation. Think why a surgeon wears a mask, not to protect him or herself from infection from the patient, but to protect the patient from possible infection from the surgeon.
Here endeth the lesson.

[Iron Age]

Face masks now available to collect from SUFC shop, no delivery charge so £6 total cost. Pretty good value if we ever get to wear them at a match.

[Iron Age]

Confirmed.
