My weekly tenner is on a 3-1 Southend win … would love it to be the other way round just cant see it happening especially if Ewing is missing again.

[ironfromafar]

We have conceded 7 goals in the league and 6 in two cup games. Does that not indicate that we should be asking what is the defence doing whilst Rory and Mo have been letting all these goals in. They are supposed to be the last line of defence, it obvious that in every single game we have played the defence have let us down.

May well go all season without a clean sheet .. Did comment pre season i thought we would be involved in quite a few 3-2s , 3-3s 2-2s 4-3s etc so … still not expecting many 0-0s this season.

My Tenner this week is on
Full time score 1-1 but to get the odds up ive doubled up with 2 penalties in the game (scored or not)
@ 16/1

in my retirement becoming a keen stargazer and now owning a large telescope on the top of my chicken shed i can confirm the Atlas A1 comet will not strike Earth though at one point i thought it may clip the East coast taking out Grimesby and Cleethorpes .. im pleased to say my up to date data now shows it will miss which is great news as Steeles FnC shop remains one of my favourite child hood memories … shame a direct on BP may well have caused some much needed improvements.

Sheff W v Cods .. i dont give a rats arse what happens

[ironfromafar]

On todays showing and the season so far Beck could not hold up a tomato plant .. total waste of a squad place and the attached salary.

[ironfromafar]

ANSWERS ON A POST CARD

Beck .. disaster signing
Inability to see games out
Stupid mistakes
Injuries
Silly suspension ALA Horton Starbuck
The stubborn side of Butler … he has to sort out this trying to defend games out and attack more when leading .. this negativity will cost us as it has already this season.

97 minutes of the new Rory then up pops the old one.

sorry DM i quoted the wrong post .. too many glasses or orange squash this evening

Unfair comment .. he was excellent .. how about the ridiculous Ubo pass that led to the free kick that they equalized from WTF was he thinking of ? .. much prefer Rory in goal then MC .

I knew they would score as soon beck came on. We should have put somebody else up front with a bit of speed, he cannot keep with the play, he just wonders about, bit like Kane but at least Kane scores.

As soon as Beck came on for Whall i said to my chambermaid to put extra tissues on my bed side cabinet as i knew FG would nick a goal .. why not put Fadera on OH SORRY i mean Dawson or i mean Chadwick or i mean anyone as Beck was waste of space like a lolloping lost elephant…

Ubo to blame with is crazy giveaway pass .. trying to get in the starting line up my arse after a terrible miss then that pass he should be cleaning the team bus in the morning.

Agree … FGR will get a penalty in this game 100% ..ref being bullied

[ironfromafar]

post soapy and after regaining my composure the following day i had a dream and it wasnt good

4-1 .. to FGR , crap odds but a tenner at 33/1 had me hooked

first defeat incoming .. hope both me and my fortune telling voodoo sausage doctor are wrong.

330 quid would come in handy tho 5555

[ironfromafar]

Presume they be receiving considerable remuneration for hosting games not to be sniffed at and im sure if the BovD at Scunny could land a similar gig for the AAGP they would even if it pissed off fans.
Very disrupted start to the season for York with changing managers and not much real game time due to these missed fixtures.

Never been a real fan of the current fist crest so im for a version of the unity badge used during the 125 yr anniversary season

Just asking , dont want the clubs Maw black mask hit squad to kidnap my pet hamster but who signed Beck ?? .. i cant recall if it was AB or Turnball before he got the chop ?

[ironfromafar]

Retirement, prayer meetings, landslide and also flooding has somewhat curtailed my arrangements to watch relegated Nong Bua Fc these season suffice to say Abo Eisa has moved on and after failed trails in Boliva he is now on the books of Chonburi Fc notoriously close to sin city Pattaya .. i might add my son played for CFC juniors but all to soon discovered to the temptations of a young Thai lassy n a can of Chang ..hes 25 now n had a great night at a pool comp this eve ..

live footy here is pretty dire ,, at NBP we sit with expat fans from Leeds , Stoke and Southend an even a Codhead though hes not allowed in the VIP section as hes smells of fish .

[ironfromafar]

As mentioned earlier i think AB can say WTF he likes but injuries and suspensions will play a factor ..hence forth im going for a tenner ..on 3-2 Eastlee .. but adding 2 pens in the game (scored or not) for a mega 80/1 payday

[ironfromafar]

No doubt about it … WE WAS ROBBED
Turning points in games define seasons and inconsistent poor quality officials do also.
Starbuck no way a yellow and more so WTF did the these clowns get 9 mins added time from ..shocking !!

For a while i did think my 2-1 score and 2 pens double bet was gonna come in which would have been a travesty.

With that kind of negativity IFA Butler won’t be wanting you coming to the Attis if you do a UK trip anytime soon.

I will keep my 20 quid then 55555 or go in the away end

Yeah stay behind your keyboard you saddo, lol.

yeah my prediction is a tad negative ..based it on injuries and the Brackley manager is adept at setting up and highlighting weaknesses .. so expect lots of crosses for MC to deal with today.

Fast approaching my day of cultural enlightenment DM .. my old tired bones need sorting out so spending my winnings from the 1-1 Halifax bet on a soapy and a Sunday roast … hopefully a happy ending today with an away win and also tomorrow.

[ironfromafar]

2-1 .. first loss incoming SORRY

Another Tenner but as crappy odds i added there will be two penalties in the game and took the double at 20/1

[ironfromafar]

Whilst i do see ABs point he really should think before coming out with such a guff comment and pissing off fans who do have an alternative opinion.. as my old gran used to say shortly before the judges closing remarks and sentencing ..”” sometimes its best to say nothing at all”” … she got 4 years for GBH.

Money… as those Yanks yell.

Well spotted Rene , not to far off the gate n away total either and the 50 quid back for a tenner was most welcome and shall go towards a cultural experience this coming weekend.
More worrying with so many injuries im predicting the games at Sutton and v Halifax could well derail our fantastic start and ultimately the season ..
Whall
Beestin
Howe
Rose
Rowley played with a knock
Anymore ive missed ???? or to add in up coming fixtures would be a disaster , really hoping non are long term.

The AB video clip from the fans forum has been pulled from the FB page ..it was getting a bit silly with notorious BRU hater Jason Hinsley calling for us to be banned leading to a few fiesty exchanges ..in between slagging Bru in various ways ironically he was bemoaning our lack of unity thus so the pot calling the kettle black springs to mind.
It isnt the first time this guy has had a pop and he most certainly has an agenda against Bru apparently their are only a handful of members posting on here and most are negative haters of the club , BovD and some players
Mr Hinsley reads Bru but chooses not to post .. so hey if you read this please stop your silly crusade against Bru as its making you look a bit of a plonker.

They no doubt think they are helping Butler’s case because they think the problems with division are only sourced from Bru, without the self-reflection to see that their bitterness is part of the problem.

I think Butler is right though and I won’t pretend it’s all one side’s fault. There have been digs at others (Maw, Iron Hour etc) on here and maybe it is time we just move on from differences that came to the forefront mostly in the Hilton era.

ilove my home town club and choose different ways around fan groups to support the club even from overseas, i stand by my opinion that i dont like how this back slapping UNITY crusade has morphed and the chest puffing of Maw n Co plus spot light seeking of others… that does not make me any less of a loyal fan.
Open season slagging off Bru seems to be fine yet the slightest negative comment towards Unity etc is treated as a offense worthy of bull whipping.
