shame a certain Graham Alexander was at GP today to witness relegation … how i wish Swan had not sacked him and he could come back ..one of my favourite Scunny managers of all time.

IRONFROMAFAR – We will no doubt get on like a house on fire because I specialise in detecting the bull variety.
IB ..pop down to my grans for a cuppa tea n a chat .. she lives on Laburnham Ave in Gunness lovely old dear still has her faculties , one tooth and a a fantastic sense of smell so will detect your bullshit arriving before you even get there.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing ..but.. IMO
Fantastic Hilton took over from Swan (TBC)
Nelson should have stayed no new manager JD or anyone else was needed.
No crazy rush of sub standard signings maybe a couple max .. go with what we had for the rest of the season and see what happens.
Everything seemed so rushed when a step back and a level headed approach was needed.Alas .. Hilton chose to gamble and it back fired massively so he is at fault ..however the damage was done long before he arrived.
NLN it is thats the reality today and im hoping Hilton wakes up contemplating exactly what his gamble has turned into and how he can change the situation for the better.

indeed it was a cracker !! these two are light years ahead of all the other NL sides and its tragic one (prob Notts now) will have to face a the playoffs.
Well done to Wrexham they will be singing in the valleys today.

Interested Bystander – The alarm bell is already ringing for me and with some others but it seems the majority are relieved the club seems to be saved and don’t want to look too deep and are happy to accept what he says. Time will tell.
The majority of a club’s fanbase just want a team to support, only a minority are interested in what goes off behind the scenes and the backgrounds of those who are involved. As I see it, the questions about Hilton are not going to go away, it’s in his interests and one assumes in the best interests of Scunthorpe United if he answers those questions.
@ IB .. if you are not a Scunny fan you really shouldnt be too concerned , my gran says you smack of being a shit stirrer and she knows her shit !!
“a recalled O’Malley” but not Hallam. Is he injured?
AMAZINGLY Yes he is .. hamstring again

Consequently he lost his job and has since failed to find another, RH excepted.
Maybe Jimmy should take note of that?Cox has found his niche position ..RH commentary .. he seems to know all the answers and tactics now , shame he didnt before .. but he is reeelly reeelly brave though.

Interesting starting XI.
Looks like 4-4-2 with Sembie-Ferris and a recalled O’Malley the wide men.
Everton-Richards dropped in favour of Boyce. Hmmm!
A few surprises there ..Wilson dropped as well judging by the commentary from Gateshead he was gash ..zero effort or interest.

Having read the fishy thread most Cods wanted us to go down as low as possible and still do with many hoping for another relegation next season but not seeing too many actually stating want Scunny to go bust n not exist at all…but obviously some do
No doubt the Cods when successful are well supported and do have an excellent away following…
Having worked all over the area in my younger days as an insurance claims assessor it gives them a nice day out in the real world away from ear bashing seagulls, burnt out cars,boarded windows and super glued letter boxes of the Nunsthorpe Estate

Surprised to see the Scunny thread on the fishy forum still going strong 166 pages as of today … i think deep down the cods really do care and such is the love its quite possible some will be inviting Iron fans over for candy floss,fish n chips at Steeles and a walk along Cleggy mud flats.
Strangely enough the fat lady singing GIF i pulled from fishy to post here has now made it back along with my tongue in cheek marine themed comment…
IMO the cods are only doing what Scunny fans would do (taking the piss) if they were on the decline as they were not to long ago, its a funny old game and hoping this local derby wont be off the fixture list for too long,,seems an age since the Cods FAVOURITE PLAYER KVV scored at Blund hell Park.

Hey Rene PLEASE can you assist with the commentary links as usual , i need to be brave ..many thanks in advance.
Im up at my home in the North and still getting blocked when trying to search n log in more often than not.
Sorry off topic but ..
A happy Easter to all who care to celebrate it , it was one of my favourite times of the year in blighty.. i fondly remember Milk Tray Easter eggs , Cadbury mini creme eggs and latterly getting bladdered down to pub n going to watch the weekends matchesA full week off here , everything is closed due to the New year celebrations, cabined up as its nasty 40-50 degrees day time high with an overnight lows 24 to 27 .. bad air pollution until the rains arrive another good reason to stay indoors with the AC on…hence posting more than usual.

Interested Bystander: good points raised. In all honesty, most of us are conveniently avoiding these questions as we all know it’s probably not going to make for a nice read. A shame we don’t have a strong local newspaper to follow up these leads anymore.
I’ve spoken with Ilkeston fans and their reviews are nothing but positive, in terms of evidence, that’s all we can really form an opinion on at the moment.
I may be wrong ( and I hope I am wrong), but I’ve got a feeling in my gut that things might go tits up when the ground completion is due.
Last sentence ..my thoughts exactly ……hope im wrong too.
1 user thanked author for this post.
Im sure the super manager formerly known as Cox thinks they have to be brave ..braver..braverer
I cant see where a Scunny goal will come from just clinging on for a lucky pen or an OG i suppose ..but sticking with my prediction 1-1 and circa 4000 attendance (how many tickets have the Latics sold ???)
Only 2 home games left so hoping for a decent turn out and they get behind the team Hilts and management.. will we see a bit of player pride passion and effort or another total lazy let down for JD , Hilts and the many loyal fans

Hey WGs you just trying to cheer us all up with statistics like that .. ive been keeping an eye on Peterboro Sports and they are winning more often than not.
As i commented on another thread if JD cant get results and things dont go well im sure Hilts bin him sooner rather than later.
We may well be 20 points clear at the top of the NLN table this time next year !! .. sorry ive been on the local moonshine again.1 user thanked author for this post.
Chappo n Elliot both fine to stay IMO .. as for the rest if i was pressed to say 3 more to stay on merit or ability Shrimpton , Butters possibly Ogle and Wilson (if his attitude isnt in question as it appeared at Gateshead)
If that happens and we keep any more than 6 from the current squad it will be a tough season , i would much rather see a bargain basement clearance sale and a total rebuild of biblical proportions, and im sure JD would welcome any divine help from above if forthcoming.
1 user thanked author for this post.
Any body who can’t be arsed sub them,if there any more left on at that stage just bring them off one at a time till we have the minimum allowed to finish the game.
I like that idea would actually send a message,.. but prob end up with JD getting some right stick….even more than normal !!
Since the first half at York its been a diabolical shambles.. from what ive heard live and and witnessed via vids too many of this current bunch have totally given up , no pride or professional football player mentality , walking n jogging around waiting for the season to end , must be very frustrating for all concerned club staff and management etc let alone the owner n fans.

Not that it makes a great deal of difference but any predictions for the Oldham game ..
score and attendance (not sure how many away will be there)
1-1 lord knows who will score for us but Nuttall to net for the Latics
4,000 give or take 100 either side of that.

Is it another MUST WIN ??? ..

O’Malley has been in good form for Alfreton. I wouldn’t be against recalling him and giving him another contract and replace Daniel. We would have to play him either as a winger or a wing back though as he’s a bit dodgy defensively as we all know.
wg … I think you meant the promised land …ILKESTON not Alfreton ?
either way Chappo n Elliot stay ok … as for the rest it would be madness to keep anyof them so they can all get on the night boat to Cairo , ooops wrong thread
