    Somebody is definitely wiggling our winkies.

    This is the second time a rumour of this type has emerged about this young lad.

    To be brutally honest he has done nothing to merit interest from any club let alone Celtic.

    Might I suggest that Dad Andy and Uncle Mike may just have enough clout and nous on how to play the football politics game. Enough to drop a ‘titbit’ to a journo or agent in order to generate interest around the young man especially at contract renewal time.

    Now thats not to say he hasn’t got potential nor that he wont make it.

    Well done Winterton Iron members £4600 is commendable in normal times but in lockdown its amazing, and to a well worthy cause.

    I would rather Ernest not have racked up £11 million in debts in the first place.

    How much of that is compensation packages for numerous managerial teams?

    Most of us do not surrender our home to pay off debts.

    You also might like to ask where the money from the 180 flats on the car park is going?

    Alas Bobby

    Absolutely glad to be proven wrong on both fronts.

    I do hope that comments such as mine spur people on in a positive way. They were coined after a very poor away loss at Barrow.

    Our fortunes have changed after sending Cordner back and bringing in Taft, the former cost us goals and games.

    Papered over the cracks today against an utterly dire Cod team.

    Heard Hursts dulcit tones which I havent missed and no John Tonder thank heavens.

    Locked in a room with those two monotone dour gits would be purgatory.

    A good win today against a very poor Cods team, possibly the worst I have ever seen (though the most enjoyable to witness).

    Maybe the title should be ‘Conference here they come’

    Up the mighty Iron. Ironking was delighted 3 times this pm and Mrs King is going to make it 4 times tonight, or not as the case maybe.

    I was there in the seventies OSG days, and I can honestly say I loved every minute.

    Yes we didn’t perform very well in terms of league positions and were deemed a Cinderella club, but the club had a grain of honesty running through it from top to bottom.

    We always had a goal scoring striker up front and the odd quality player who went onto better things.

    The ground from its name to the stands oozed character and was loved by the supporters. The few fans we had at the time were ardent and many still attend to this day.

    Above all those characteristics spawned a fighting spirit and never say die attitude which galvanised everybody connected with the club.

    Dear Earnest Pawn

    Having a track record of not listening to fans and actually challenging us to buy the club if we didn’t like the way you were running it.

    1) What made you listen to the supporters who demanded you sign a team full of young in-experienced players?

    2) Would you care to name those so called supporters?

    3) Failing to answer Q2 would you care to admit that your stock phrase is complete and utter cock and bull?

    4) Do you understand that among the many insults during your tenure that trying to blame the supporters for this latest faux pas is probably the greatest of those insults.

    5) Do you also understand that whilst some supporters are frightened for the future of their club without your wife’s money, a great many others are frightened for the future of their club with you in charge of the purse strings?

    6) Are you aware that the negatives against you now far far out way any positives?

    Mick another lower point will be when we exit the Football League in the imminent future.

    It will go even lower when we have an housing estate on the car park and no ground development.

    Then we will all understand that the lowest point actually occurred way back in 2013 when Ernest Pawn arrived.

    As an Iron born and bred all manner of information passes my way its a small Town and I have good sources!

    Muzzy and Wilcox were in charge.

    The initial reason is Covid-19 but given performances and Pawns track record, it could be something else.

    Neil Cox is a nice bloke and local, sadly this did not do anything to inspire me.

    Neil is inexperienced as a manager and Ernest Pawn (a difficult character) has assembled a very young squad, with no experienced ‘old ed’ to offer help and advice on and off the field!

    You pay big bucks to young lads who are spoon fed via academies from an early age, and think the word GRAFT is some skin taken from your backside and placed elsewhere on the body. You can’t even give them a rollicking because because mummy or daddy in the family 4 x 4 never did.

    Only kids from council estates had parents who taught them the harsh realities of real life.

    Sorry but the writing was on the wall, National League here we come.

    Another wafer thin rocky performance v Cambridge with more than a trio of mistakes. Maybe he needs to take timeout.

    Making it harder each week to digest(ive), time for us and Rory to breakaway, and for him to find another club.

    It might not be very nice but we would be cream crackers to persist with Rory.
