During the coronation and Queen’s death there was saturated coverage and some people put flags out. I understand why, and have nothing against national mourning for the figurehead or celebration at the coronation, but some don’t like it. It would be wrong to act on the whims of those who don’t like it to spoil others’ fun. Just do what republicans do during such times; ignore it. No-one’s forcing others to participate.

a fair point SID but a monarchs death and subsequent coronation are for the most part a once in a lifetime or very most a generation event where as this hair flicking look at me Pride stuff is being rammed at you at every juncture and at such a prolific rate unlike rare major events making it very hard to avoid.
I do have strong attitude to this issue with the most recent experience solidifying my opinion as whilst cabined up between the heavy rain downpours i nipped to 7 11 for some supplies only to be accosted by a group of what i can only describe as very colourful scantily clad fruitcakes direct from the nearby pride knees up ,one with GAY written on its chest as if that wasnt obvious enough… now i am a very tolerant person and all that im ok with just leave me alone but when the larger village people policeman lookalike started to molest and annoy me i had to politely ask him to fook off then i automatically became a homophobic monster.

I am neither a racist or homophobic my missus is mix race and kids are a dark chocolate brown colour we have numerous friends who are gay lesbian trans and one even who identifies as a Grimsby fan.

All this be careful what you say and ..you cant say that never happened in the good old days of chicken in a basket and Camp coffee ..the world is going bonkers and im told even Little Britain has been cancelled for depicting real life in the guise of humour ..sacre bleu

Anyway enough of this Plyiron is correct BACK TO THE FOOTY …. im predicting a ever growing parade of EPL EFL “stars” heading to Saudi as for sure even without a rainbow theres a pot of gold waiting for them. ( see what i did there :) )

I shall leave my Tamworth predictions until closer to the big KO ..

Great movie .. some Hannibal Lector quotes

“A piss Taker Once Tried To Test Me. I Ate His Liver With Some Fava Beans And A Nice Chianti.”

“Well, Clarice. its 2-0 Have The Lambs Stopped Screaming?”

“It Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin Or Else It Goes to Grimsby Again!”

“I Must Confess To You, I’m Giving Very Serious Thought … To Eating a pulled pork stuffing roll!”

“Oh, And Dave, Just One More Thing. Love Your Scunny shirt!”

” Tell me MR codhead did you breast feed ? toughens yer nipples doesnt it”

Last one

“Quid Pro Quo. Yes Or No?” AA .. changes his DH/JD opinion more often than his Y fronts…

ironarmy yt vid from yesterday … cracking goal by Butterfield.

Slight change of heart now seen the away kit ..not as keen on it as before but still love the home and third ensemble.

score 2-1

No injuries or tennis balls please

Good prediction, suggest you do the lottery.

Blooming heck i wasnt far off on the starting line up n nailed the score .. att let me down…however i shall be buying a lotto ticket today.

Seems like an excellent overall team performance that bodes well for the coming season .. we will obviously know more when the “not friendly’ season starts proper at Tamworth next Saturday.

Hopefully no injuries ??? or tennis balls.

This fella seems very impressed and i lost count of the superlatives he used

Evidently Scunthorpe (not utd) are having a pride event, sick of it already rainbow flags and wears all over in the market I hope it pisses down on their parade.

Just had a whole PRIDE MONTH here with as you say rainbows everywhere along with pubs serving rainbow cocktails and some very weird n wonderful attire on parade.

Now im not a bender and also in no way offended by anyones chosen path with regard to sexuality be it gay lesbian or transgender lady boy etc etc …HOWEVER as a run ov the mill guy constantly having it thrown in your face at every juncture is literally impossible to avoid and really tedious… Semms to me the closets must be emptying quicker nowadays as these LGBT events are becoming more n more prolific … IMO a whole month is just bonkers tho im told it was well received by the purveyors of KY jelly.

Back on topic …. lots more to follow Hendo and the money to SA .. Sad Mane and the Maxin guy from Newcastle next on the plane and who can blame them at the crazy wages being offered.

Any update from the club on the severity of Roberts injury ??

[ironfromafar]

Agreed with all above ..IMO the squad is 99% complete and been impressed will all the new signings however twood be nice to sign a Billy Sharp type of player … whats the word on the Scunny streets the GP goss .. how likely is it ?

JD must have a pretty good idea of his starting 11 and im guessing a selection headache or two in the future , its been quite some time since most positions having excellent covering options.

Suffice to say i hope we hit the ground running n have a decent season.

[ironfromafar]

ive only seen highlights and read what Scunny fans are saying but seems most of all the new signings have impressed , some slightly more than others .. example Barrows has not had many mentions.

Add on Elliot Wilson Ogle Butters Beestin and Shrimpton and its a dam tasty side that should make for a successful season ahead.. players like Pugh Rance DSF and the youngsters (Poulter n Robertson) may find it hard to get into the first team regularly

As said 2 good solid keepers Fitz number 1 with chappo as cover bodes well.

My personal fav of the newbies is Clunan

[ironfromafar]

OH bloody ell .. conflicting reports as to the injury but really hope hope its not gonna keep him out long term..

[ironfromafar]

Looked like a decent game and excellent performance ..bodes well for the coming season.
Shrimpton finish was superb and possibly Scunny should of edged it.

[ironfromafar]

How odd !!!!..

been busy n off the radar a day or so and just seen that Boston beat the Cods 3-2 … the crowing n piss taking re the Scunny loss to Winterton on FB has strangely decreased with talk of fishy members using quotes like

Its on a friendly
Team of young lads
Weather was bad
Pitch over watered
chips were cold
Avoiding injuries
Only 4 real players turned up
Coach had a blow out
Boston were very physical
and
Sack Hurst

[ironfromafar]

just a thought n i waint no expert on catering for large numbers ..but

Why dont SUFC sub contract the matchday catering out ?? if they cant do it right find some one who can

Some of the members of the cult of Dave are having their judgement clouded.
Judges only deal with the law, not what’s best for football supporters.
As for Mr Loophole, I can’t imagine any judge will be swayed by his tactics.
As much as none of us want the outcome, I don’t see anything other than Swann coming out of this absolute debacle on top.

I agree … High court judges award cases based on the detail of the law within the facts of the case nothing else ..alas if i were a betting man my 50p would sadly be on Swan / Coolsilk as legal owners of GP to win.

[ironfromafar]

Agree Pat DH cant win .. dammed if he does dammed if he doesnt…

FFS give the bloke a chance.

[ironfromafar]

another yt vid prospective from a Donny fan ..

[ironfromafar]

DH post / statement came across as being ok to me .. hopefully the food issues will improve along with the football.. the proofs in the pudding .. thats a black pudding bacon n egg bap.

IF Callum Roberts stays fit,he will give us some special moments this season.

fingers crossed he stays fit and can play regularly ..

IMO seems most of the new signings have impressed all be it one or two not seen much of yet .. stand out newbie for me is Clunan .. could well be club captain as well.

Looked like a miserable day weather wise pissing it down, i caught clips via Donny website.

Attendance ?

[ironfromafar]

This fella must of been on the ball with his YTvid upload .. seems very positive re the game , performance intimating Scunny the better side.

** another mention of crap food /service sacre bleu a frozen sausage roll . obviously reading all the cuisine related comments this morning its something that needs to be addressed to maximize match day income… best pie for me was the Hollands meat n potato i sometimes chucked some mushy peas on.

1-49 in a 26 man squad? 🤔

Obviously i was not meaning there were 49 players rather the squad numbers were from 1 to a highest number of 49… why they are not 1 to 26 needs to be clarified by a more qualified party than myself.

[ironfromafar]

Purely in my mind so could well be flawed but going by the new signings squad numbers are these in more in JD plans as his starting 11 as others or will we see constant rotation.. a settled first 11 must be the better option.

Fitz Number 1 first choice keeper ??
Kelly taken number 3
Evans 4
Kouogan 5
Clunan 7
Roberts 10

Elliot over Whitehall ????

Chuck in Wilson , Ogle and its a dam tasty side with plenty of cover.

Now whose gonna be the regular club captain .. im going for Evans

[ironfromafar]

Following on from the release of the squad numbers came an interview with JD

[ironfromafar]

pre season Dunston v Gateshead match abandoned …WTF is all this about some one drives a hearse onto the pitch and leaves it.

Hope we dont see any Swan supporters or IB protesting at GP in a similar manner

VID VIA IRONARMY

[ironfromafar]

We may see heavily armed militia on the GP main gates and patrolling the ransom strip as the dispute between the gambling ego PS v Uturn loophole DH intensifies… alas im guessing stand closures for pre season are of a fiscal nature to just save some doe.

Be nice to hear if any work has been done at GP pre season ,cleaning and a few new sponsorship signs etc maybe the old scoreboard been removed ??

Marvellous Mr Loophole, marvellous.

Even tho as suggested its a crap artist impression be nice to see it and dream ..im get blocked entry on that FB page.
Cant believe it appears some Iron fans are buying into the new ground in 2 years fantasy .. i would bet my smaller left testicle IF..IF it happens be nearer 5 years than 2.

this fella thinks Glebe rd in 2 is a possibility obviously

[ironfromafar]

Will this fixture will have commentary on the wireless .. HR or whatever Donny comes under.

Being as first game at GP for some time ..any predictions

Score .. draw 2-2
Attendance .. 1899
Away fan count .. 499

hoping for a good game and NO INJURIES

[ironfromafar]

On with the crusade ey IB

Dunno who runs or mods Bru but wouldnt this kind of thread/post be better in the NON FOOTBALL section of Bru ? .. where anyone wishing to read it can easily do so whilst those who are here for the football talk dont have to scroll round it .. true or false its tedious wash rinse repeat bollocks and not helping the club or concerned fans one iota.

[ironfromafar]
