We’re just not good enough

Agree .. not the performance of title winners.

I think we will possibly squeak a win v Darlo at home but Buxton as ever will have our number.

Still wide open for the title and auto promotion.

Sounded like a real tepid performance against a poor side who offered little going forward only creating one or 2 chances going by OCFC YT highlights. Failure to break down and beat so many of the lower placed teams who set up ultra defensively will cost us the title and auto promotion thus enduring the play offs again.

Simply not good enough .. Chester will visit Oxford Tuesday im guessing they will fair better hope im wrong.

As a footnote enjoyed the HR commentary ..with Lee Turnbull replacing Torps , quite banterous and he actually talked a modicum of sense but still loves the sound of his own voice.

not heard any updates on Jason Law n Finn Shrimpton as to how they are doing and if how long their loans are expected to run.

Anyone have any news ?

[ironfromafar]

Unpredictably im going for a Scunny win … 4-0
Dont care who scores though twood be nice to see Ubo Beck Mo or the new fella Wreh to get on the score sheet.
With only Whall out injured and Boyce suspended AB does have a job on his hands selecting his starting 11 n subs, obviously keeper and defense picks its self and no way Clunan and Roberts wont start after that anyones guess.

Fitz
Rose Max Evans Denton
Clunan
Roberts

Bru experts …. Who are your 4 to slot in above starting 11

[ironfromafar]

An excellent signing IMO strengthening for the run in battle for promotion…

lets hope he plays football as well as he sings and its not a road to hell

[ironfromafar]

Na .. give yer head a wobble Rene anyone in the top 6 or 7 could still win the title .. yer forgetting Brackley and Chorley who bang in form lately

Should be interesting starting 11 today

No Boyce or Whall
Will Fadera start?
Will Beck start ? (if he does hope he gets a hatrick)
Will the new lad Starbucks feature ?
Will Charlton be let out the attic to play ?

Watch out for those yellow n red cards dont need any suspensions .. not had a sending off for months so due one today.

[ironfromafar]

One of my all time favs

[ironfromafar]

not got a good feeling about this fixture i fancy Dom Tear to nick a goal and without Whall we may struggle to net ..
Hope im wrong
0-1

BBC Sounds interview with AB

Seems a couple going out and 1 coming in .. Nicolson out on a perminant deal is being mooted on SM and AB very coy about it in the interview

Match highlights uploaded very quick ..well done who ever is responsible.

So chuffed we got that late equalizer , i stayed up until 4:30am and Mo made it worth it.

Draw a fair result going on the live commentary and highlights

[ironfromafar]

Warrington far from woeful.. will feel a tad unlucky going on the extended highlights…

Boycee tackle/pull back was IN the box by a mile and Warrington had a few very good chances including hitting the post at 1-0 down

i put the WTFC vid up as the one on SUFC had no commentary.

Predicting a decent open footballing game , a draw written all over it with 1-1 my favoured scoreline , i think both teams would settle for that and can see it fizzling out last 15 mins with no one wanting to loose.
I hope AB gets the lads up for it from the start and they go at Curzon from KO unlike the Warrington first half performance where we allowed them to dictate the play.

so 1-1
att 3,556

** not easy but what out for those yellow/red cards we dont need anymore suspensions

[ironfromafar]

never bothered with Twitter or X as it is now .. pleased not seeing all this sh*t going on with some dudious postings re the club , BovD and nasty comments about Michelle .. she is and will always be a legend for standing up on the D day

[ironfromafar]

i may be mistaken but arent / weret the winnings from fundraising football cards and auctions paid out as vouchers for the club shop ?? .. if so not all would be going to the club as a percentage has to be taken off to pay suppliers like Kelme etc..surely it would be better to hand 100% of funds raised to the club directly.

[ironfromafar]

Next to leave / go out on loan ??

Brad Nicolson is my fav
Possibly even Charlton Ubo if Fadera is oked to extend his loan

AB and JS were serving up utter dross which the fan base hated.

Results October/November derisory with three 0-0 bore draws where we barely had a shot, a poor cup exit v Rylands and a complete lesson in football from Buxton who actually showed that three across the back could work.

Then there was an arrogance of its my way, like it or lump it, everybody is signed up and has bought into the system. Then just for good measure we had an absolute petulant display via the airwaves of Radio Humberside.

Then suddenly a complete change of system, better results and some entertaining football.

Mmmmmmmmmm……Somebody somewhere was listening and possibly felt exactly like we did. Because first and foremost they are supporters.

Thank ####.

A very accurate assessment IK ..bang on.

Thats true ..just had a go and you can find an easier read on the back of a bog door in Brit corner ablutions. (if they are still there)
Just Mr Maw as EP blowing smoke up his own arse.

Maw should give the £18000 raised to the Iron Trust to buy shares in the club, people then know the money is properly supporting the club through it’s fanbase. If the kids want a Halloween or Christmas party their parents can provide the money, Jerry can dress up as Santa and Maw would make an excellent Frankenstein on Halloween night.

Your on fire IA, did you get a new joke book for Christmas ??

Totally agree the numbers dont lie and with such a piss poor turn out it must be pretty clear this unity group isnt necessary and wont work.

Many “normal” fans .. the free thinking unbrain washed Maw diciples appeared unhappy with regard to how any funds were spent as in the past this included away travel subsidies parties and sponsoring things which i guess many including me didnt realize when donating or joining in Maws numerous fund raising schemes. left a bad taste perhaps hence little interest in the new Unity idea.

Credit where its due to ALL for raising the 18k maybe best the 3 amigos to now call it a day and totally re think the unity plan…ie scrap it.

I have in the past had the odd problem finding HR commentaries that gave me access due to location being banned but not recently ..its been pretty dam good except for the odd drop out and switching to the Cods for a few seconds (i just cover my ears and hum until its over)… yesterday was excellent listening from the middle of nowhere at my sons little cabin on the rubber plantation.

Praise the Lord we have not had to suffer the Aussie fella again since he murdered the game on his last day release outing.. worst commentator ever.

[ironfromafar]

Super Tuesday will probably the biggest game day of the NLN season UP TO NOW with 3 huge games

Lets just hope we come out ov it with a win and ideally Chester v Kiddy, Chorley v Brackley are draws

The Chester AAGP fixture is shaping up t be massive in every way including the attendance.

Indeed twood settle my inquisitive nature knowing if it was well attended or a total non event only for the reason im intrigued to know if many chose this over the Iron Trust or along with the IT.

No updates from the 3 musketeers ..maybe Stu still in the cupboard 55555555

yep surprised Ubo missing .. replaced by permacrock Williams or loanee Fadera

[ironfromafar]

Having just listened to AB pre Warrington and much more interview i now get the idea why Law has gone to Spalding and more SO under the wing of JD who signed him when at Scunny.
Also good news re Clunan.
