    Going down again I predict.
    And I think… Yes I really do, that it’s the preferred option. 🙄

    Our trajectory is downwards.
    Might we be playing Gainsborough, Cleethorpes etc in a couple of years?

    You do appear to be revelling in our current situation, is it a genuine hatred of our club dressed up as fake concern, genuine question.

    Pathetic post.

    A lot of people didn’t think Butler should have been appointed in the first place.

    Admittedly, we did get promoted under him, but the football was not good and his personal disdain of the fans is not a good look.

    Give him 10 games said many people. Look where that’s left us. He needs to go.

    I’ve met various fans from all three clubs over many years. In my opinion the Scousers I’ve met have been the least arrogant. Think they’re comedians but not really arrogant.

    They think they’re comedians, but they’re about as funny as a broken leg.

    I know everyone thinks we should assess after 10 games, but I haven’t seen anything that gives me any confidence that Butler will turn things around.

    The team is not balanced, there is no direct leadership, and we keep conceding goals.

    I really can’t see a way out of this mess.

    PS I am aware that we are 1-0 up at HT in the tin pot cup. It makes no difference.

    Has AB gone 5 at the back to keep it at 0-1?
    I don’t understand with a forward heavy bench why we sub Dec Howe with a defender!

    Because Butler doesn’t know what he’s doing???

    Used to be one of those Deery.
    Saturday Priory at 11:00 – that naff Mansfield Ales pub in town for a couple before Iron & Steel club while pubs were shut. Back to Paddy’s club for weekly band practice. Then off to Baths for the nights entertainment.
    In great shape to play football Sunday morning without seeing you own bed (if you got lucky).

    Now 3 or 4 pints and I’m peeing for England.

    Was the Mansfield beer pub, The Bell & Anchor? What era was this? Our paths may have just crossed some Saturdays!

    Think you’re right Deery. Pub wasn’t too bad but Mansfield bitter was awful.

    But cheap!!

    My wife knows, and she is sticking by me, at least in public, as for my adult children, who knows how they will react. Now that I’m out of the closet, PD will allow me to purchase a claret and blue wrist band in order to express my new found emotional liberation!

    I think I have made a mistake buying a season ticket after having one for 40 years.Does anyone have any idea how the season will pan out.Is promotion a possibility?

    It’s a possibility, but I wouldn’t put any money on it……..

    It has only just been introduced. Presumably it will start when the new season starts.

    Could lose quite a few youngsters on a match day. Worse still,it may encourage them to do something else and never return.

    I can’t see the Club going against the ruling as it could open them up to legal action if anything untoward were to happen.

    Scunny are no better than the chuggers we see on the high street, you say it’s not aggressive but it’s in your face all the time on their platforms.
    They’re doing so much of it they’re saying they need another sales executive ffs, it’s just like giving to some charities they take your money spend it on adverts or buy places in marathons and the like then charge for said places to create more money to just go on the money go round tree when all I would want is for the money going to help the actual cause. That’s ok for many of you but not for me.
    Certainly none of my money is going to help pay the new sales executive, saw the other day somewhere on the new site the club had 106 employees (just looked again can’t find it) Hilton had got it down to 56, just saying.

    He’d have had it down to 0 (ZERO) the way he was going.

    Re charities, how do you think they raise awareness? They speculate to accumulate in the same way that business does.

    If they paid out all donations they wouldn’t last long. Advertising, sales execs, promotions are all money RAISERS. Not too difficult for you to understand, is it?

    See Tamworth have a new rich owner.

    24 year old? must have crossed the channel in a small boat and threw his passport away.

    He crossed the Atlantic.. Young American real estate investor…

    Excellent news for Tamworth FC … these ‘ rich people ‘ are out there its just finding one who wants to buy / invest in Scunny

    What’s he see in Tamworth that we don’t have?
    Question: Are our current directors actively seeking new major investments, or is this, and unending sponsorship our lot?

    Maybe he has family and/or business links to Tamworth?

    And a convicted one at that, served his time though, and we all deserve that second chance.

    Second chance? Mr 4 names…..

    Operating as a Director, using different names, when he was banned from being a Director for 6 years?

    That’s really taking your second chance isn’t it!!

    Haiti also dived all over the place looking for a penalty, but never got booked for it.

    They were strong and physical and that was about it.

    Not a good side, although they did wallop New Zealand 4-0.

    Gutted for Haiti. If they had any kind of end product that could well have been a draw. Scotland were very poor.

    Yes, and if Scotland had 2 fantastic strikers and a quality keeper they may have won 6-0.

    And if your mother had balls she’d have been your da’

    Only watched the YouTube eight to nine minute highlights so far, kick off times being unreasonable.
    The winning teams seem very incisive in using the wings.

    Same here .. extended highlights only as KO times are dreadful ..

    US and Korea looked tasty.

    Jocks tomorrow morning 8am KO i MAY MAY tune in as i cut the grass today so tomorrow morning is free.

    I shall be going to sleep in an hour or so & getting up at 1.30 to watch the mighty (?) Scotland. Back to bed @ 4.30 and then for a round of golf @ 7.30.

    3-1 to the boys in blue ❤️

    Morocco and Ecuador to surprise.

    England to disappoint.

    Scotland to fail in style.

    Hopefully Brazil win it, but probably Spain or France.

    I too have little interest…….

    Who was the first player to make his Iron first team debut who was younger than you? Loanees excluded. As far as I can tell and recall, mine was Neil Pointon.

    It’s going to be a bloody long close season, isn’t it?

    Surely Positive Dave as to be that person.
    Arm round the incoming player with that thumb in the air photo, so he can show it to his family that means more to him than any football club. Or is that the Carlsberg advert.

    Any football club is correct.

    Sadly, it seems to be our turn to have him!!

    Change your tune there 64 Roberts was the dogs bollocks according to you our best player with Ewing not far behind.

    The best if a bad lot? Doesn’t mean they are really good players – although, to be fair, Roberts was very good.

    But at least we had the players.

    But not for long. We’d have gone out of business pretty damned quickly if he’d stayed.
