I was so confident that we would finish second but, yet again, the team have other plans.

57 years and I still get surprised……

And what does that have to do with us?

[IronIronIron]

Nobody was talking about him last week, or for the last 5 years or so.

He was not a good manager @ Scunny. He has done very well at Coventry. These things happen.

The time came a long time ago!!

We can’t afford to sack him, but we can send him on gardening leave until end of season (and should have done so a good while back).

Anybody could do a better job.

Pay him off now. We have to pay him anyway, but if he stays he could #@?& up any chance of getting promoted (he’s already made sure that we won’t be champions).

[IronIronIron]

Yes

But you will draw attention to it. Prat.

Based on the positive feedback of people on here and on FB (I know!!), I thought I’d support TSG & the Club by purchasing a burger.

After queuing for 10 mins I was handed a foil wrapped burger. It had no heat in it at all.

Rather than leave the area, I unwrapped it at the kiosk – and it was stone cold (and I do not mean luke warm). I returned it to the youngster who had served me. He threw it in the bin and said I’ll get you another one. This one was wrapped in front of me, but was still not piping hot and was far from exciting.

The result is that I have, yet again, stopped buying in the ground.

I can not be alone in this decision. How much is the Club losing to external suppliers?

Les didn’t say anywhere that Fitz hadn’t co tributes this season. He has.

However, he does wander around his area a lot and he often loses out, or makes a mistake,when he shouldn’t. Definitely room for improvement.

The hefty profit would have gone to Swann not Michelle, now that wouldn’t do would it. Selling Sharp and Hooper benefited you in what way Ironii.

However you look at it, the money would have gone into the Club. Whatever happened to it after that was down to Swann – and there’s a man that lost a lot of money on his “investment”.

Also, if we had bought Toney we might not be in the situation that we are now, and yes, I know that is mere speculation. He certainly would have made us a better scoring team.

[IronIronIron]

The wall was only 7yards away from the ball. That’s cheating too.

I really wish that we had signed him as we would have received a hefty profit on our investment.

[IronIronIron]

Can we arrange a whiparound for Rene.

He really needs to get out more.

Have we heard how many Hamas fighters they found here?

No, didn’t think so. Highly targeted attacks my arse.

Interesting read.

[IronIronIron]

Can we stop with all this “get a grip with reality” and “let’s be happy that we still exist” nonsense.

A bad performance is a bad performance. The players and the manager need to sort themselves out and find a consistent level at which they can perform. They have a long way to go still.

We are all aware of what could have happened, but it doesn’t excuse what we are currently seeing on the pitch.

“The EU wasn’t all bad”

Allo Allo…. Ornott and Lesgeo repeatedly told us it was!
They did a lot of “careful research” about the “evil empire”, ordered everyone to post it on Facebook, told us we were “taking back control” and pushed the country into a position of epic and often violent stupidity.
Now, we’re all disadvantaged, not least your deaf friends.
It’s time you trumpeted that from your café soapbox, Rene.

We suffered more and more, and paid more and more, the longer we were in the EU. Give it time and we will benefit big time.

It’s bloody terrible isn’t it? I’m not even on the same continent as the team, and I still can’t stream it. The league sure does work hard to make sure there is limited to no access to the teams to watch. I’ll have to catch the highlights later on.

Maybe there’s a challenge to be contested here.

Is this practice in the publics best interest?

If you paid me £100 per game, I still wouldn’t go to watch a Sheff Utd or Nottingham Forest game.

Should football be run by the cartel known as the Premier League or by the FA & EFL?

It’s a restrictive practice. It’s censorship. It’s controlling what should be a free market.

The EU wasn’t all bad:
“They may also hold back innovation, put companies out of business and deny consumers access to a wide choice of goods and services at reasonable prices.”

https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/index/whistleblower_en

If we want to watch Brackley v Scunthorpe on NLTV… then we should be able to.

Denying us the opportunity to follow our team isn’t going to encourage us to drive all the way to Sheffield or Nottingham to watch Premier League football.

I’ve absolutely no interest in that type of ‘fake football’.

There are many of us whom no longer live in the towns or even in the country of the clubs that we support.
There are many of us who are disabled and aren’t able to travel to watch our favoured team.

If I was deaf, then I wouldn’t be able to listen to the match commentary on the radio.

Doesn’t that breach the Equality Act of 2010 – discriminating against disabled people?

This restrictive practice is detrimental to the finances and very existence of small clubs like ours.
It cuts off a revenue stream and disassociates people from their team.

Maybe the matter requires the Competition and Markets Authority to peruse it?

Have a day off Rene. Sometimes you talk bo##&£ks.

Fansy, I bought two of them. They are excellent. Thank you and well done for supporting the Club.

I hope that Fitz gets replaced.

He has no idea how to intercept a cross and wanders around the penalty area with no idea where he is when he needs to get back in position. Added to that, his kicking is mainly poor. We need better.

[IronIronIron]

And the politicians will say ” You shouldn’t do that”, but will do nothing to stop it continuing.

I find the lack of action by the UK
& USA so depressing.

[IronIronIron]

Nobody is asking him to change the way he plays apart from the bit where he throws himself to the ground for no apparent reason.

He may then have a ored over 30 goals so far, and yes someone may come and buy him, but at least we would get some decent cash in.

Everyone can improve, especially at the level we are at.

I think that Michelle knows better than any of us. She hasn’t put a foot wrong so far, so give her your full support.
