    Been off the radar last few days .. only saw the fantastic Kiddy win today as very sadly my brother passed away suddenly on his birthday and have been attending his funeral in Northern Thailand , indeed a week that has and will change life for ever..
    I am now the last remaining from our direct family, very sad as he left not only a beautiful wife but a young son.

    On the footy front …..i hope all keep a level head and take a game at a time .. no more HMS piss the league this year as it made us look twats last season.

    As for Curzon A they stuffed us last season so a bit of payback would not go a miss.

    For me football is and always be just a game , i will follow SUFC where ever they play ..

    There is more to life than the footy … thought it does help keeping ones mind active in times of intense grief.

    One of the strangest post match manager interviews ive seen seemed frustrated almost to tears … little man syndrome , wife wears the trousers and wet the bed as a child.

    The man is a Dick ..as they say in Geordie land Y i hes a Dickman.

    ‘ Just wish he’d go Whitehall, Carlton; Roberts as a front three, would scare most NLN defences.’

    Love to see that ..but realistically cant see AB going with it… it would mean Scales or Beestin miss out.

    Yeah I’d take a draw tomorrow and a win next Friday night, four points from the next two games would be an excellent return looking at the opposition we face.

    Yep same here… how ever it happens 4 points from the next 2 fixtures would be excellent.

    Im going for a score draw tonight.

    my crystal ball is away at the repair shop .. but suppose a lot it depends on ones age.

    Im 60 next bday so going on my prediction below the jury is still out.

    3-5 years to get out of the NLN
    Then
    5-10 years to get out the NL at the right end and back into the EFL.

    Thats a min of 8 max of 15 years could well be pushing up daisies by then.

    Living abroad will give you more years…. so I say yes you’ll see it !

    Planning a trip back at some point(covid n Bizz issues put paid to my last trip back to Blighty) and TBH i wont mind where the Iron are plying their trade at that time just be brilliant to be back at GP for as many games as time allows.

    listened to commentary and made my ears bleed .. fully understand fans feeling frustrated at what seemed like ANOTHER uninspiring performance lacking attacking intent especially from open flowing football (not set pieces)… jury still out on the set up.

    SS won 4-1 away today so big improvement needed for Monday.

    Lucky for me Cox’s mike was very poor, barely heard a word but didn’t miss anything I’ve not heard before I’ll bet.
    Message for Ollie Turner:-
    No idea how many Iron fans listened to the match commentary but I know how many were interested in the score in the Hull KR rugby!!

    Was hoping Cox would land himself another job which meant he would be unable to co commentate alas not yet ..wonder where Steve Torpey is ? im sure there are other ex Iron players that could come in to assist.

    Indeed cass the constant HULL KR updates were a tad annoying but they were rolling in tries quite often .. at least no tech issues this week with unbroken “action” throughout.

    Iron 3 Chorley 0 just like Kylie I can’t get this clean sheet thing out of my head, I’m sure it will pass once we begin conceding.

    I know what you mean re this clean sheet thing hovering in the mind n long may it continue ..

    im sure there are some Iron fans thinking we will win every game not concede all season and finish with 138 pts and a goal difference of + 92

    Nice wager Rene
    Before a ball was kicked i had Buxton down as one of my surprise packages this year as well as Scarboro .. fancy both to be there or there abouts come the end of the season.

    Revised odds: realised what a sad shallow pitiful sham of an existence my life is and stepped in my own dog’s excrement this morning – mid table at best playing the most unattractive football ever witnessed in any league, ever.

    Thats the spirit DM66 5555 … obviously anti optibuzz is catching, or giving it its proper name realism.

    Never see anybody reading a paper nowadays.

    Every white van I see still has a copy of The Sun on the dashboard!

    SUN Page 3 ..if thats still allowed which i doubt very much , let alone the days of the Sunday Sport and all their in depth sporting knowledge show cased by skantily clad young ladies…

    I refer readers to an earlier post .. THE GOOD OLD DAYS !!!!!

    Shrewd move. Young player starting have a positive effect in games and will start to get noticed and our investment is protected. It also starts to build the squad for th 2025 – 2026 season.

    Agree a good bit of bizz by the board IMO .. maybe some NL L2 sniffers already.

    Who else in the current squad do you think is worth an extension ? im assuming with Scales getting a deal maybe others will be knocking on ABs door.

    Never see anybody reading a paper nowadays too busy head stuck in their phones on SM tik toking etc…is google really my friend ??

    Im fortunate to be old enough to fondly remember the days before the internet and all it has inflicted on us and also the days where there were only two birth genders, way less whinging and generally folks got on with each other.

    Great start to the season for Scunny and a few others… long may the 3 points keep coming however it plays out.

    Reading the prediction thread on the SUFC Fans FB page and as ever most predicting an Iron win ..some emphatic others closer, i went for a draw (again).

    Im not sure but i do get the impression SOME fans are either

    1. swayed by the claret n blue glasses
    2. generally over optimistic when predicting every game
    3 assume rightly or wrongly we are better than we are
    4 forget there are at least REALISTICALLY half the teams in this nasty league who could win the title ala Tamworth of which we are one.. im guessing the likes of Rushall Petboro sports etc are at best mid table along with others.
    5 are on meds
    6. forgot to take their meds
    7 taking too much emphasis and optimism from the first 3 rather hot n cold performances
    8. blindly loyal
    9 absolutely correct in their judgement
    10 hoping to get lucky as at NM (soft pen and hanging on)

    Hoping to see Charlton Saturday and twill be very interesting to see how the team line up next 2 fixtures.

    Lets revisit the odds after 10 games im guessing there will be 5 or 6 clubs within a the 7/1 , 4/1 , 7/2 range.

    Things will become a whole lot clearer as to where we are after the next 4 fixtures..

    Chorley ..always decent n there or there abouts come April.
    SS .. same as above and our seeming dislike for getting points in the NE
    Kiddy .. dropped from NL and 3 wins to start the season conceding only 1 goal.
    Curzon .. bit of a bogey side if i recall correct and aslo won all 3 games so far.

    My two to watch Buxton and Scarboro
