    It’s not that I don’t like the thread, it’s the fact that it is incorrect.

    It’s so easy to call anyone who criticises a fickle supporter.

    It wasn’t because we lost on penalties that I am so disappointed.

    It’s not the fact that we finished second after the scariest season of my life that I am openly critical.

    Dean should not have been appointed in the first place. He should not have been allowed to take us into this season – although we still had Hilton them and nobody knew what was happening.

    It’s the total lack of progression that makes me mad. We all know that we had the best squad in the league. Occasionally we played some great football – my mate from Oxford met met away at Banbury and said that we played like Brazil!!

    Even Burney would have got us into the play-offs. So Dean has failed.

    He is out of contract, so just let him go. Please find us someone with a proper Plan A and a structures Plan B. Two up top and proper substitutions.

    Recommended for the staff – get a new manager.

    Gurney, we may well have sacked too many managers, but I believe that the majority of supporters were in agreement with all of them. After all, they were sacked for a reason.

    Just because we have sacked a number of managers dies not mean we should stick with one who has produced some incredibly boring football and has failed to achieve what was asked of him. And he had money.

    The next man will likely have a lot less money and just as great an expectation on him. And we may get it wrong. However, it would be negligent to stick with JD.

    As for who, I personally don’t know. But there will be a fair number of current managers who would be keen to join us. They will believe that they will be the one to return us to the promised land. Let’s hope that we choose the right man (or Lady!!).

    “a really nice guy and genuinely loves and wants the best for this football club”

    There over 6,500 people like that at the game yesterday. I wouldn’t want any of them managing the team either!!

    We need a fresh start with a fresh manager.

    I will attend far less next season if JD stays as well. Mainly because his style bores me most of the time.

    Because Jimmy Dean is our manager. Hopefully not for much longer!

    Maybe the club think we still play at the old showground. Very patronizing telling the people of Scunthorpe where the car parks are.

    Many supporters don’t live near Scunthorpe. It’s a good few years since I’ve been in to town, so I have no idea where you can park.

    They are trying to help people. As Deerey said, you’d have complained if they hadn’t said anything.

    VAR works perfectly well for armchair Sky TV watching plastic second club tosspots.

    VAR is just wrong.

    If you are at the ground you don’t have a clue what is going on.

    If you’re watching on TV you get endless angles & repeats until you’re blue in the face.

    Either way it diminishes what you are watching.

    What is clear and obvious? If it is then the referee and linesmen (or should I say assistant refs) should spot it.

    It should be banned immediately.

    . they were ok while they were holding them, but totally out of order when they threw 2 of them,

    What a load of rubbish.

    When they were holding them they were surrounded by other people, and of course, they were in danger themselves.

    There is no justification for flares in a football ground.

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

    57 years and I still get surprised……

    4 games in 9 days should not be a problem for a super fit FULL TIME correctly rotated team and tactically astute manager ….should it ??

    And what does that have to do with us?

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Freedom of Choice?

    “Yes massa”

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