Tuchel probably read the Andy Butler guide to trying to hold on to a lead and the outcome was much the same.

Actually think it is a disgrace, treats some as 2nd class fans. Got money they want to talk to you,
not fortunate having spent all you have they will think about it ! !

Absolutely spot on Sf49 .. i shall remain being a second class outsider fan of 45 yrs thus so my 6 quid in my pension fund or i might “waste” it on a soapy massage ..either way SUFC can whistle.

I can certainly re-post mine. You can’t play a back 3/5 with no WBs. He didn’t have any at the start of last season and eventually realised that. Having had the opportunity during the summer to sign WBs he didn’t, so is, once again , trying a system that can’t work because he doesn’t have the right players.
Round pegs in round holes.

Nail on head there Cass … players need to be in their natural positions not forced into a place to suit Butlers dream setup .. it didnt work last time and it wont again this IF he decides to try it.

So… Will Infantino’s FIFA allow England to beat Argentina?

I doubt it and fully expect some controversy / bias VAR calls , red cards etc in this one .. FIFA dont want an all European final and going back to the Eygpt debacle it appears Fanny has a hard on for Messi n Co.

Come on. You’re better than that.

I was against the principle of having an unelected group appointed by the club. But the minutes of the last meeting show an ability and willingness to take up important issues. It is not their fault that the club has failed to (consistently at least): meet frequently, field a Director, or to publicise when meetings have taken place. Aren’t these similar issues faced by the Trust? The club doesn’t seem to be taking it seriously.

so basically VOF is a pointless exercise only introduced to appease the fan base when in reality the club dont seem interested.

[ironfromafar]

Does anyone really have confidence in Butler to be able to get this mish mash of new and old players to gel into some sort of decent consistently winning team ? ,, not sure even after the friendlies he will even know his best formation and the correct players to play in their best natural positions .. these are his signings and it will either be hero or zero .. we will have a fair idea after August is done but for me the jury is still out but IMO i dont think Butler has the nowse to do it.

VOF is at best as pointless as having a wa*k in a clap clinic waiting room … no one seems to even notice… total waste of time although the blond lass is quite tasty in a chunky sort of way.

[ironfromafar]

personally i think the new kits are utter gash and would not have one given as would not wear it.. especially the home kit as having the V design it would enhance my man boobs.
Please no third kit it might be worse ..

[ironfromafar]

so did this fella sign or not ?? shambolic either way as it was announced then nothing

Zero club fan updates unless they want your money .. via being an INSIDER , SPONSOR or the usual club SOS begging bowl.
Im getting increasing more negative towards how the club seem to have chosen this path of two tier fan interaction yet still want all to constantly donate to waht should be a fully operational transparent business ..not a charity basing its finances on the love and goodwill of its fan base.
After circa a mere 45 yrs being a fan , all be it the full on 20 years home and away whilst in UK then last 25 overseas i am really loosing any real passion for my home town club which is sad.
Stopped my financial donations and wont be buying this sh8t excuse for a modern day kit, i dont like Butler and for what its worth this mob will struggle as he AB wont be able to combine and gel a consistent winning team as he doesnt know where his players best positions are ..
Signings have been at best ok .. Brennon and Howe being the stand outs but IN MY OPINION hand on heart its gonna be a long hard season in which we will do well to stay up.

[ironfromafar]

Absolutely horrible kits .. poor design cheap n nasty.
There were some suggested images on the SFCFFB page about 3 weeks ago that were excellent yet this is what we got .. please dont bother with a third kit if this is the standard.
Sales might possibly be lower than normal but last years kit was pretty bad and still sold well so who knows… its a fact i wont be having one sent out this year.
I was under the impression fans would have a vote or a say in the kits but appears not, they are only thrown a bone when the club is after rifling the pockets.

Got to agree DM ..the slightest contact and players go down feigning injury at every chance really does spoil the game.
Expect similar antics in the Mexico England encounter which is a 7am KO here so i do plan to watch this one.
Prediction time .. 3 ways

1. If the same disjointed England turn up as in their last two games then its 3-1 to Mexico

2. The England that played second half v Croatia might be enough and make it closer 2-2 @ 90 mins then AET can go either way though more likely Mexico as do expect expect them to have the ref on side and VAR if needed…
May well go pens .. but hope not

3. A much Improved England (doubtful) i would go 3-1 win T3L

[ironfromafar]

i have previously predicted that we wont be good enough to be top 7 and during the course of the whole season will flirt with both the play off places and relegation spots so finishing anywhere 8th the 21st … im gonna go for lower mid so 17th

He scored 13 goals last season between Alty and Macc so not sure where you’re getting your figures from.

His senior career stats up to joining Alty then Macc (5 yrs) were posted on the club FB page thread announcing him signing .. prior to his last 2 clubs he scored 14 goals in 5 seasons.
Lets hope he shows more of the form when at Macc all be it in a lower league.
Fans from both Alty where he was let go and Macc dont rate him too highly commenting not sure hes good enough for Scunny and its a great move for him.

[ironfromafar]

As i wrote on another thread not enthused by this signing at all .. 14 goals in 5 years , not good enough for Alty and Macc Town and comes with a rumoured bad attitude.
Hope to be proved wrong time will tell.

[ironfromafar]

Even Dick Turpin wore a mask …. alas SUFC dont seem to care how these schemes will or wont be accepted by fans that have already given time n time again.

[ironfromafar]

Pleased to see JB back was sad to see him leave back in those uncertain dark days.

Rather a shrewd move by the BovD as if n when AB leaves (Poached Pushed or P45ed) he is there ready to step in.
Hope there is enough left in the budget for a quality Striker / CF – NOT the one currently being rmoured (Gale)..prefer another option though be ok with Farrel or TSF returning if possible budget wise.

[ironfromafar]

Eng v DRC ..
Even the current rather dull England should win this but may well be closer than it should be and im going for a 1-1 draw @ 90 mins and 2-1 AET ….. IF it goes to penalties anything can happen ALA the Dutch.

Regardless beating DRC is just delaying the trip home by a few days as Mexico look in excellent form after a slow start.

Fear yee not im confident my mankini is staying in the closet at least until the Christmas and New Year party season when it usually gets its time to shine.

Local Norwegian guy here just laid a bet on me ..

Hes so confident England will win the WC hes offered 25 quid / 1000 bt if they dont and all i have to do if they do lift the cup is walk 1 lap of the town bar area wearing only a lime green mankini, a traffic cone hat and my old Foxhills school tie ( i was in Berkley house).

After deliberation and seeing the confirmed nasty England run in i took the bet.

Canada into the last 16 .. bit ov a joke that really.

Looking at the path England have awaiting them its not looking good.

DRC win

Mexico possible win but by no means nailed on , dirty game with lots of diving and a sending off or maybe even 2

Brazil doubtful win as FIFA will be torn who should win , expect some dodgy VAR in this one.

ARG loss as the Argies n French look best there along with my outside bet before a ball was kicked – Norway

Spain wont get that far.

[ironfromafar]

So the Jocks have arrived home before the postcards,in fact i bought a 7/11 yogurt with a longer expiry date than the Scotts WC dreams. .. Oh dear how sad NEVERMIND ..it took 62 yrs for them to get to the WC before FIFA upped the intake to give them a chance whilst feathering their own nest as is the norm.

Fear not England wont be far behind…looked very stale against Panama.

[ironfromafar]

pretty much agree with that Cass .. (slight typo should be Richards = Westbrooke)

So far signings are at best just okay and Roberts will be a huge miss .. as it stands weaker than last season. … IMO will only see another 1 or 2 signings max

as an OSTSIDER
I see shirt sleeve sponsor has been announced .. so
With the upmost respect please explain how a charitable entity gathering funds for an over seas institution can find the means to “sponsor” a football club , surely all funds should be directed to the charity … is this a philanthropic gesture or what PLEASE CONFIRM.

I am so stressed about this and all the new signings marlarky i nearly cancelled my Saturday Oil massage .. it was only the local ladyboy who saved the day by moving me to an Afternoon slot.

I’m getting sick of this club,wonder if insiders will be digging deep 1st when the shit hits the fan financially again.
This regime’s big thing has been spouting “unity” while dividing fans groups ,so far I’d suggest the need a new dictionary

Nail on the head with this post.

Splitting the fan base on the promise of access to a few scraps of info , photos with players and being in the “in crowd” … some have been getting away with this for a long time without paying for the privelage… Maw PD the Ironarmy guys etc

Just how the club can caryy on pushing the unity agenda with this latest brain fart of an idea that really is just another money grab like the pitch squares to add to the countless others.

I took off my SUFC charitable donations hat quite a while ago when fan groups mostly Unity Group started to spend the funds raised on things other than the club such as parties .etc

Much the same as Ogle coming back dont get this Hurst move either..

Reasonably happy with Brennon , Howe n Richards signings but look lightweight up front AND without the Roberts effect last season and the recurring injuries to DW was hoping for something other than Hurst.

Cant see anymore signings except MAYBE A trialist and later loans but will have to wait for PD to offer his “inner circle” titbits prior to anything happening.

Yep .. agree
