As a long time supporter of the Iron including during those so-called hooligan years the behaviour of the stewards towards young HOME supporters is disgraceful.
Yesterday’s unsavoury handcuff incident was embarrassing and shameful.
I often witness the AWAY fans stood up in the seats or even at the wall in the away end several deep on the concourse this has on more than one occasion led to away fans jumping onto the pitch when their team scores. These so called fans are led back and assisted over the wall by the stewards and certainly not ‘cuffed’.
Of course those Away fans are men over 18 not like the 14/15 year old home fans being provoked and pushed around by over zealous stewarding including robocop complete with epaulets, pips and handcuffs.
Another negative to add to Ernest Pawns CV.

Another board member is leaving end of season apparently (non family of course) and yet another staff member.
That surely says it all about the toxicity and poison emanating from Ernest Pawn. That and his abhorrent treatment of home fans.
Simon Elliott was our greatest hope of retaining a club or even resurrecting one from the utter and complete shambles created by the ego of one Ernest Pawn.
We are not only utterly shite on and off the pitch, we are now an embarrassment on and off the pitch.

Poor old Steve.
He was and still is a genuine supporter of the Iron, his health forced him to move aside and it was either Hobson or Swann, excuse the pun but that really was Hobson’s choice.
We will be the first club relegated from the league on ‘one mans ego’ and yes I want Ernest gone, but why should he walk away scot free and with a stadium of real estate in his arse pocket?

Takes off Burns and Feeney today who were our best players. Burns kept the Dale defence busy whereas Nuttall did f#####l again.
Left Hackney on who is okay going forward but a liability in defence and far far too weak in the tackle, and right now we need grafters who will put a shift in not the lightweights.
As far as I am concerned Hill started with a complete and utter disaster left by Cox or I would be seriously questioning his tactics and team selections.

Utter crap and its getting worse, teams only after run at us and we literally become a jibbering bunch of even more useless twats than normal.
Too many of our players spend too much time passing backwards, they would rather play a 40 yard back pass than a 10 yard forward one.
There are glimpses of positives but very few and far between and certainly not enough to keep the club in the football league.
Lost to most of the teams around us, and every one of them even Walsall have looked better sides.

Apparently Ernest can now see that this current squad is not good enough.
‘HELLO’
So 8 days left in the transfer window to really make a difference.

I don’t remember Devries,I was only young then,They were all great in those days
Roger De Vries a right fullback from Hull City. Owned a car dealership in Hull after his playing career finished.
The team and squad of 81-82 was better than today’s derisory offering. The lads back then cared for the shirt and we went into each game with hope and optimism.
It was the last season playing in red and the first season ever of a coloured programme. We can’t even get that right now.
We are poorly run on all fronts with baffling off the field decisions. In fact somebody fiddles whilst Rome burns.
The aforementioned squad is missing Ronnie Goodless a winger from Everton who was superb at our level.

F row crew reminds us of our numerous years of football, fun, laughs, travel, life experiences, good memories and friendships.
Sadly none of the above have been under the tenure of Ernest Pawn.
Had a chance to redeem himself on the back of the shareholder meetings, AGM , sacking of Cox, appointment of Keith Hill, appointment of Simon Elliot and by simply delivering on a promise. Any promise.
Looked like we had turned the corner and were riding a positive wave. Ernest reverted to type more talk more promises and f### all delivery.
Big NO from me.

Reference Cameron Wilson,
I have spoken to sources inside the club and Wilson is a very good prospect, apparently Mr Cox wanted to start Cameron Wilson but the cap on players due to the EFL embargo meant he could not start a game as we have used up the quota of those considered to be ‘established players’.
I might have been tempted to give O’no Neil 2 minutes game time to double his season total then sub him immediately for a youngster of our own!

Look Simon stood on the terraces as a supporter long before he became a director. Made his way in business and actually wants to come back on the board.
Well done Simon and Mr Pawn for making the appointment.

His head is in the lofty heights of thinking he is a good footballer.
That may be true. But is he a good professional footballer?
Does his return of 2 goals suggest his talents lie elsewhere? Does he create, does he finish?
Does his name, nay will his name appear up there with Torpey, Green, Lumby, kilmore, Gayle, Flounders, Daws, Sharp, Keogh, Hooper, Cowling, Cammack.
Will it ###k

Mick the problems were apparent last season, but nobody was looking less those who subscribed to i-player.
Then in the summer any iota of talent was shipped out. Whether it was finances or the worst manager ever being unable to manage them we may never know.
We finished very poorly last season and the summer transfers did not spark any enthusiasm except from those who would find plusses with a 3 legged donkey in a claret and blue blanket playing upfront.
The minor revival last season was when those creative players produced the goods. We no longer have any creativity.
All we are left with is poor players who cant even make up for being shit with hard graft and enthusiasm.
Old keiths task is a mammoth one of gregarious proportions. Our only hope is the January transfer window and somebody who can put the ball in the net.
