He was looking like our best player and Dean inexplicably dropped him from the squad for the biggest game. He was great on the ball and tracked back numerous times- he would be Butler’s kind of player, hard working and fit

Indeed only JD knows why Corbett didnt figure in the game against Boston .. not even on the bench and like you said IA he looked a real handful up front yet always back covering , worked tirelessly and linked up well with DWh.

From Wiki (so it must be true)
In March 2024, Corbett joined National League North side Scunthorpe United on loan, until the end of the 2023–24 season.
On 12 May 2024, Peterborough announced the player had been transfer-listed.

Go get him.

I liked this lad ..agree 100% GO GET HIM !!

Listened to it over the weekend, Great work MB and ME.

Michelle, Roj and Andy all came over really well. it’s incredible what they have done so far.

Point of order though i didn’t like the comment saying “you can’t just go and watch another club”, we all don’t live in Scunny or North Lincs, there is a growing number who go to watch Non league for a game to watch if we can’t get to see United. IFA for example watches Thai football but he doesn’t stop following us.

Thats correct CMC .. i do follow my local Thai side Nong Bua Pitchaya going to most home games and the odd convenient away fixture alas hailing from Gunness and watching Scunny since the early 1980s at both OSG and GP before jumping ship i can categorically state i ONLY HAVE ONE FOOTBALL CLUB…and never miss a game internet permitting.

Btw NBP were promoted to the Thai Premier league this season which is great news this with circa 2000 at home games .. sadly unless some big money comes in they will be the Sheff U of Thailand.

Listening to the recent podcast (well done the guys that landed that scoop) it did soften the blow of not being promoted , knowing we have such great owners we now have a future and its bright.. I was also pleased JD was not kept on … nothing against the guy smashing fella by all accounts but he was Hiltons pick possibly on silly money so made real sense to not renew.

Not being promoted may well turn out to be a god send .. rather be competing and around the top of the NLN than cannon fodder in the NL and in a relegation battle in front of way lower attendances.

Really hope AB does well ..

Thank God for Hilton getting rid of the perennial Daws. We all know if he was still here he’d have being be going nowhere.

Maybe Hiltons cull didnt go quite far enough EH ..Daws would have been at the club to share a taxi with Muzzy when the lights go out.

IMO .. a keeper coach at this level who has produced absolutely zilch over years is a way to ave a few quid GET RID… WE GOT FITZ AND A MIRIAD OF LOANEES INCOMING JUST HOW MUCH CAN THEY BE TRAINED “FOR ANOTHER CLUB” ..alas from the podcast seems Muzzy is part of the furniture in the AB set up.

[ironfromafar]

i predict approx 1800 season ticket plus 1800 walk ins for a regular home attendance at 3300 to 3500 .. IF in the top 7 .. outside of that not wishing to be gloomy be 3000 .. and if it all goes to sh8te 2500.

Shame it doesn’t reflect it on the pitch where it’s needed every goalie of late gets worse as the season progresses.
Any guesses for who is his managers, And does anyone believe someone keeps tabs on him? And from MKs research it’s pretty obvious that the manager doesn’t have a say who’s the goalie coach.

Cock on .. its not like weve had a decent keeper for ages .. or why so many shit results ..

BTWis Fitz that good ? ..HOPE SO HES HERE NEXT SEASON .. great some games stupid mistake the next so whos to blame Muzzy ??

He’s surviving his third chairman and if you include caretakers his thirteenth manager so I guess he must be contributing something useful.

YES but at some point ie NOW salarries must be saved .. AB plus an ASST thats it .. shocked Hilton dint cull more before inc Muzzy.

Thought it was funny on the podcast when asked about muzzies position, they had know idea about the real inference of the question and the standing joke behind it.

Yes 100% .. it was as its afor gone conclusion hes stays ..WTF

Should we all get off of Muzzy’s back?

To qualify to UEFA B level, a goalkeeper firstly has to acquire his UEFA B outfield licence.

Then, to get their UEFA A Goalkeeper’s licence they must firstly pass their UEFA A Outfield licence.

Muzzy was a terrific keeper for the club. Him and Murphy have to be the best I’ve seen.

Let’s stop ridiculing him and get behind him and the team.

Na im with awaywego … sorry to all members but lets keep this in prospective , how much training does Fitz need ??? hes been around the block twice and just what does Muzzy offer apart from a salary to be saved and added to the player pool at this level he is surplus to regardless.

Jobs for the boys time has to be over .. save every quid

That’s kinda inferring he played no part in the failure more an innocent bystander, im not buying that, should have been one out all out.

I don’t know the ins and outs regarding the various responsibilities of manager, asst manager and head coach but, in our current situation, couldn’t two people cover those jobs?

You may be right. Hayes and Butler may be enough.

I was thinking exactly the same Cass .. the more savings made on back room staff salaries the more can go to the playing staff budget, this is NLN and how many “coaches” does a club need..suffice to say Bullet proof Muzzy will survive as he always seems to.

BTW what does LT do nowadays , what is hes role /position its all gone quiet over there?

Very much looking forward to seeing the retained list ..whose in whose out n gone see what sort of a base or spine Mr Butler has to start with and also who will be choosing any new players coming in ?

The iron bru podcast is worth a listen to if you want some iron related chatter without the smut.

Good call Bish , checked out the last IronBru podcast and was impressed with its informative less banterous style

[ironfromafar]

When Scunny lost so badly away at Darlo is was deemed so bad as we were actually firmly in the title race ..Manu loosing again with little to play for most of the season is a tad different , love to watch Goldbridge loose the plot on his YT channel ..

just the FA cup to go for now tho City must be big favs.

[ironfromafar]

Been busy a few days and off the radar …i do hope my earlier post hasnt ruffled any ginger feathers.
Tend to tar most politicians withe the same brush as the large majority are lying scheming thieves who for the most part are out to feather their own nest rather than doing what they were voted in for.
Must admit other than the recent watchalong Alfreton v Boston i dont partake in the podcasts as find them a tad ladish .. I do however really like Gareths IRONARMY match days vlogs subscibed n watch every week.

Available to play LB – Kelly, McAlinden, Leesley.
Jimmy’s choice a RB/CB who he was happy to loan out recently!! Unbelievable Jeff!!

What happened to Clarke and Corbett ?

Then having not played a goalkeeper as a sub ALL season in a must win game he picks one and reduces his playing options from the bench. Sadly I think that showed his negativity and it will not improve.

Double head shaking .. Corbett should have started looked great as Whalls foil up front.

Ar well what will be will be SNOT .. wouldnt be my choice either.

With the playing budget being a lot less next season and cost cutting measures needed i hope the board do mull over the positions of Plummer and Muzzy .. putting it into prospective surely at this level JD and Butler would suffice ?? save 2 salaries there so more money for players.

[ironfromafar]

UPDATE

SUFC fans FB GROUP poll with circa 600 votes cast.

Jimmy IN 60%
Jimmy OUT 40%

Not the 50/50 i guessinmated buT the ferret keeps nibbling the nerve.
