    Oh dear this is turning nasty .. alas only as predicted a few posts back that Maw Mafia was and still is digging a deeper hole for himself and is filling up with more sh8t as the clock ticks.
    For what its worth IMO Stuart would be wise to take his foot off his unity fundraising crusade gas pedal for a while after all the New Years honours list is gone for this calendar year.. Gareth and Sadiq (shocking choices) beat him and Becks to the round table gravy bowl.

    The ” fantastic” Maw YT videos dont help his cause and smack of chest puffing especially those during the brief but painful Hilton era.

    I am a member of the SOFCOSC but wont be joining the unity group or donating as i just dont agree with not knowing where the funds will be allocated and kids parties and subsidizing away travel arent on my happy to help list.

    IMO all Beck , Ubou and Williams need a goal to get them going .. hope Charlton has turned a corner re injuries and getting MOTM from the Iron bar will give him a boost.

    Having watched a few highlights from both Iron fans and joe bloggs just attending for YT content it does seem like it was an excellent performance so lets hope AB sticks to playing players in their correct positions and with attacking intent ..ie wingers.

    Brackley gonna be a harder test than KLT they are in form and as predicted gonna be in the mix come the seasons end.

    No loss IMO, Harris brought little or nothing to the team. Won’t be hard to replace from within.

    Agree hasnt really done a lot except a few near misses and they count for nowt.. Fish has aknee injury and out for a while so SPT activated the recall.

    I live in hope there will be 1 or 2 loan players coming in or even a perm signing but doubt it , in the past Scunny have used the loan market regularly but not lately , i think Connor Smith was the last and he was abig success .. another similar would be great.

    KLT apparently have a really potent strike force and the team is heavy on loanees from higher leagues so need to be on our game.

    Woke up this chilly wintry morning (14 degrees) and had not only a NYE dump but also a premonition so revised my KLT prediction

    Sadly to a 3-1 loss

    £550 out the fund for the kids party.
    I have had a few goes on the football cards thinking the money was going to the club, not to fund a Christmas bash?
    Im sorry but that stinks

    Yes tend to agree .. call me a grumpy old man but IMO an Xmas kids party should not be high on the list of things to spend any money raised on and more so lower down the list being used for away travel purposes.
    Going on the latest Stu Maw vid the new unity group are planning more events which may effect not only the fundraising giving mindset but some fans goodwill in general.

    Are the Maw Mafia (joke – by no means meant in slander or defamation) digging a hole for not only themselves but others involved ???

    Agree with ironking be nice to have some clarity re the supporters club current situation in relation to the new unity group

    i find myself drifting away from the SUFC FFBP nowadays ,there are some really nice people on there as well as the obligatory odd balls and i contribute to chat about and express views on football and my goings on at my beloved SUFC alas its more like an online car boot sale with a bit of footy thrown in.
    That said i applaud Stu n Sue Maw for all they have done and continue to do for the club surely there will come a time when enough is enough as its all a tad OTT at times.

    IMO fans have shown a huge amount of goodwill over the past 12 months and if the begging bowl mentality carries on it smacks of piss taking rather than charity.

    If we can/could/might get two or three improvement players in in January – what’d you like to see.

    Twood be great to get a couple of new players in but i just cant see or expect it to happen , im sure the BovD will try to see the season out with what we currently have …depending on any departures obviously.

    Very strange only having one team can’t think of any footy fans at work that didn’t have at least 2 clubs, same with Skellys van everyone seemed to have another club Skelly himself is City through and through, not even Celtic or Rangers IFA.

    Back in those heady mad van days i only supported Scunny .. admitting a soft spot for West Ham but would not ever say i was a fan unlike Scunny.

    Nearest I get to my live games is 40kms away by watching Nong Bua Pitchaya in the Thai PL which is about the same standard as L2 NL NLN in Blighty … Abo Eisa still playing there and he was shocked to see a Utilita Scunny shirt saying hello to him.

    Att 3900

    All depends on how AB selects n sets up for this massive game, we have been dire at home and that needs to change

    Head says 2-0 KLT
    Heart says 2-0 Scunny

    So im on the fence and going for 1-1

    Maybe I was watching a different stream on DAZN. For me, the match lacked any real quality..it was rare to see either team put more than 3 passes together without losing it. On balance of play, I would say a draw would have been a fare result.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am grateful that we got the much needed 3 points, but if we truly believe that scraping a 1-0 win through a deflected shot against a lower mid-table National League North team is a good performance, then we have really fallen far!

    At last a bit of reality .. PS away was aslightly better performance against a mediocre NLN side and nothing to get giddy over IMO .. alas some fans are seeing it as acsecond coming baby Jesus style …all we are missing is the 3 wise men , gold frankenstien and mryh.

    Lets see what KLT at home brings .. hope AB sticks to the more adventurous line up n style.

    If i were a betting man my money is on Roberts leaving sooner rather than later and most certainly no longer than this season .. Jan 2025 and the clock is ticking.

    I dont think he has any loyalty or love for the club as such and after the fan bust up at Guiseley i predict he will go possibly to a NL or L2 club.
    Dont know re Fitz contract but loose him also and we are really screwed.

    Strange decisions all round plays Beck for the full game last time then benches him this.
    Leaving Roberts on the bench surely play him from the off till fatigue sets in and hopefully put the game to bed by that time.

    He’s Clutching at straws and hope something works, so am I for that matter.

    Win or bust today draws aren’t acceptable anymore.

    Agree another strange AB starting selection

    “Callum Roberts returns to the squad, but only makes the bench having not trained following illness”
    “Alfie Beestin misses out through injury, Tyler Denton returns following his lay-off”

    Good info. but why is Brogan not in the squad?

    Brogan and Law cass both omitted

    Hard to predict an Iron game nowadays so many variables

    Head says its a draw … 1-1 or more likely 0-0 (no way a goal fest with current personal and the way we are setting up)

    *Heart wants a sneaky 1-0 Scunny win an OG or dodgy pen will do.

    Just dropped on the SUFC Fans FB and its a war zone … except for an Xmas wishes post by Simon Elliot which was very nice and well received.

    The Maw Mafia chucking their toys out the pram threats of legal action and horses heads in beds ..its all bonkers and not necessary.. whatever folks think about this agree or not both Stuart n his missus have worked tirelessly (sometimes , quite often OTT) raising funds for SUFC, alas with such dire football being served up , radio silence from the club BovD / new CEO and the fans goodwill subsiding this will become harder less proactive.

    IMO the club have had massive charitable assistance from the fans and local businesses but at the moment little is coming back .. surely by now the inherited debt must be cleared and the club on a sounder footing to a point it should not rely on as much charity as say a year ago.

    Just my 10 bobs worth

    btw Happy Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year to all here on Bru

    Dire game of football as has come to be the norm at GP on a Saturday afternoon. The fact that the only positive is a marginal improvement on Alfreton, described by many as the worst game of football ever seen at GP, says it all. As always; hoofball, square pegs round holes (Whitehall as a 10 I ask you?), zero creativity, looking devoid of ideas and Fitz MOM saving us from blushes yet again.

    Not sure on the accuracy of the attendance figure reported. Lots of empty seats and little atmosphere. Are season tickets counted even if the holders don’t turn up?

    Butler’s ‘we’re not the finished article’ line is worn out. He’s had a full preseason, two cups and were half way through the league games so when do we expect to see the ‘finished article’? The last game of the season when we’re floating around mid table perhaps? We’ve taken a giant leap backwards from last seasons football and have fallen off a cliff results wise from our first 10 games so this analogy of us being a work-in-progress, as though we’re improving each game is more waffle. We still don’t know our best 11, we still don’t have a style of play (unless it’s hoof and hope) and we still don’t know our best formation or how to get a tune out of the best squad in the league. We’re on a downward trajectory under Butler and the board are merely prolonging the agony for supporters and decimating the goodwill they banked, with their silence and inaction.

    Bang on 414

    The fans goodwill is the only thing tumbling quicker than us down the league, on this form i will be amazed if we are in the playoff places post the festive period fixtures.
    I read some fans bemoaning the clubs recent past of sacking managers but what is the alternative as anyone that thinks AB n Scoff are doing a good job must be deluded, sadly i think whilst in around the top 7 places the BovD wont act and get rid they should bite the bullet and pay em off now.
    Im also not buying the squad unity BS .. IMO something isnt right and the players must be pissed off having to continue on ABs chosen path as its tantamount to destroying their careers as well as the clubs now slim chances of promotion .. a miracle we dont need just to become the cannon fodder in the NL ALA Boston.

    BAH HUMBUG

    Beck has been a let down no getting round that but havent all the signings so far under ABs tenure? and rather worryingly if the BovD who seem set to give AB n Scoff the whole season receive funds from the sale of Roberts or others will this be wasted chasing to save his job.

    The recruitment has been very poor and still lumbered with most of the over paid Hilton / JD signings who for the most part look like they dont give a toss ..

    My oh my how we have missed Butterfield in mid field, his goals , free kicks and corners.

    I have actual commentary ready to go on Radio Hereford and Worcester -presumably at five to, IFA.
    Last week, the Humberside guys were wittering and being broadcast from half three or so.
    Hereford’s main commentator doesn’t seem to realise that his mic is live.

    Yep same here … no RH tab only Hereford n Worcester radio

    Even with a dikky leg (torn calf) i have a road trip coming up so a very early early prediction for Saturday.

    Sorry but cant see a lot changing and Hereford a mark up from Marine who gave us a decent game and were unlucky …Hereford are on a decent run also.

    1-2 Hereford
    Att 3089 the away following taking just over the 3k mark.

    Bah Humbug !! …
