I personally can’t stand her. I remember she once was commentating on a premier league match and the language been used, she came across as though she was a new age, football demi god.
1st, 2nd, 3rd phase. Transition this and transition that…she was speaking as if football was rocket science. Gave me the impression she was trying to intentionally over complicating the game in order to come across as some kind of football genius.
She was commentating with Gary Neville I think at the time, he was talking in simple terms about not getting enough people back to defend and getting caught out of position, she then blabbed on for a solid 5 minutes talking about multiple phases of play and various transitions.
I was thinking at the time, please shut up. Nobody else could get a word in edge ways.
Agree there WG .. i think she sees herself as some sort of football influencer, and until she changes gender or grows a penis should stick to washing up,ironing, mopping floors and making a cuppa tea n bacon butty.(can i say that?) ..oh i did already !!

If we are going down, then we should do so with a bang. (Not fireworks or anything else illegal). Show the Iron that we will always support them, and that the mad dad Swann has not stopped us.
We are Scunthorpe UTBI.
Support my the fans now and next season is critical.. gives the players a boost seeing so many at home and willing to travel to away games being as loud as possible… as you say shows them it was Swan and his disasterous running of the club that was keeping fans away

If the miracle this season doesnt occur (im praying it does)….. then…
Heres the current NLN table , my earlier prediction of Scunny winning it handsomely next season needs slight evaluation ,looking at it more closely its not gonna be a walk in the park and i may have been a tad over optimistic due to wearing my claret n blue beer goggles ….
A Top 7 is more realistic …..sad but true , thankfully safe from extinction just starting from scratch.

Although touted as the best league in the world and possibly rightly so as earlier mentioned in this thread i too am not overly interested in the EPL more so the big 5 or 6 clubs and much prefer following the lower leagues (which is just as well being a Scunny fan for the best part of 50 years).
Grass roots football with mostly working class fans that follow their club for the right reasons… it must be boring being a City ManU Liverpool Chelsea fan playing in what are lop sided games and expected to win comfortably weekly im pleased to see the wheels coming off some of these so called mega clubs alas it could end up with abreak away super league as mooted a year or so back.
For me its Scunny United n only Scunny and thank the lord our club is safe to fight another season, next will more than likely be NLN some fantastic away days with a big following watching a rebuilt team playing attractive football at the right end of the table .. weve had too many years at the wrong end of a league but im sure from next season with this new owner , manager players and new found buzz around the place them days are behind us.
i dont give a rats arse if Man city are expunged kicked out .. wont change the course of my life, where as to have so nearly lost SUFC that certainly would have done.

We are not going to stay up, and that is not the fault of our new owner & manager we all know that, the damage was done with our recruiting pre-season and selling the only players scoring goals during the season.
What’s done is done, we need to focus on the things we can change which is building a side that can win promotion from the NLN at the first time of asking. If we can pick a few wins up in the remainder of this season for us long suffering fans then its a bonus.
Absolutely bang on ..
i hope the whole town gets behind the club from now on .. oh imagine taking big numbers away to some NLN grounds in a weird way twood be a great period in history to be a Scunny fan

Am i detecting a hint glee in your multiple Oldham – Nuttal winning posts Rene ?.
Im loving the new found buzz at the club but the sad reality that IMO there simply arent enough games left for the new Scunny manager to weave some magic and get this mish mash of new and old to gel and go on an unprecedented winning streak to safety .. miracle required

personally i dont give a fig about Man C , the big 5 6 or 7 EPL clubs are a law unto themselves and too be honest the only club i give a rats arse about is Scunny.
History is for historians and those who like to dwell on the past whether missed opportunities or good bad decisions .. i say the future is CLARET N BLUE … thank the lord our club has a future.

Due to the more positive outlook for SUFC and now covid seems to have moved on im planning a trip home with my son .. he visited Glanford park once when he was 3 years old … hes 24 this October, as well as seeing my daughter and meeting grand kids for the first time im also gonna take in as many of my haunts as possible in Scunny and surrounding area and into the Isle of Axholme .. Epworth was also a regular place for a few as had family there… worried about the cost of everything its 20 years since i was there.. ONE LAST VISIT FOR OLD TIMES SAKE.
Anyway back to the footy .. is this Elliot any good , anymore news.
