Why did the club agree to play the match when your main 14 goal striker is just coming back from suspension?
Then to not start with Whitehall was absolute madness.
Wilson was merely pushed around all second half and Beestin was heavy legged and completely lost.
Siembe Ferris would have been a better starting option as he kept getting behind the Tamworth defence, with more time in the game that may have paid off.
Taking Elliot off was another baffling decision. I also agree that our style needs twerking as the midfield lacks bite.
Moving to 3 up front away at Farsley with Whitehall, Elliot and Roberts up top was a massive positive.

A great debate and some first class points of view, all relevant and well made.
There are no poor teams in this division, they all have very tall, strong defences and are quick on the counter attack.
We need to keep attacking and retain a capable strike force until the final whistle.
Hopefully the footballing brains at the club will be pointing this out to Mr Deans.

Lincoln City have been quite cute, there are fines for refusing to enter or fielding a weakened team.
Play an ineligible player and get kicked out free of charge.

You would like to think so!
But should Ernest not sell, and it’s nearly a year or so since he put the club up for sale and having turned down offers already does anybody believe he actually wants to sell.
So a nice tidy formality, fails to sell, liquidates and the next day the bulldozers move in, because the planning was just that a formality.
Sorry but the club and fans have been stung once too often for something just to be a formality as far as Ernest is concerned.

At 73 he deserves his nap.

Yes the bookies do know something we don’t, that’s why they always win and the “mug punters” lose.
Heard recently about a real mug losing millions and not even knowing he had even placed the bets.
I bet when he learned of this folly he took off faster than an Apollo space rocket.

‘Ernest played by Jonny Vegas or Matt Lucas’

Ernest has a statement out justifying it is not his fault he was vulnerable, right then Ernest OUR club is vulnerable and has been exploited at a difficult time in its life, and still is being.
As you wish to take a stand against injustice, sell up to Messer’s Sharp and Elliot and end a massive exploitation of a good few thousand (was a few more at one time) and ease their exploitation and sense of injustice.
Once you are gone you will have all the respect you crave and will be seldom mentioned nor cared about. You will to satisfy your immense ego however hold a very special niche in the history of Scunthorpe United FC.

One should feel sorry for him after all it is a mental illness.
Don’t like to see any addictions whether it be drugs, nicotine, alcohol or gambling, nor do I like to see people being conned.
Nor do I like to see people turn up to work not knowing if they will be paid that month or even have a job the month after.
Nor do I like to see injustice, especially against the ‘little man’ by the ‘big man’.
Nor do I like liars and thieves.

“He is still refusing to take any responsibility”
Never a truer word written, the man racks up huge gambling debts on the never never without ever seeing the terms and conditions, doesn’t know there is a self exclusion clause, then finds out he has been set-up and deliberately targeted as a mug, by a man with prison form who is trying to work out how much commission he should have made out of Ernest.
Ernest then breaks the golden gamblers rule of not chasing debts, oh dear he also bet on credit. Ernest has also paid out vast amounts of money to cover the debts he racked up but never questioned them, bet on anything that moved, and didn’t realise that at any time he could actually say no!
I hope Mr Sharp makes a film of this, with Chris Fairbrass and Vinny Jones as the Apollo people with Ernest played by Jonny Vegas or Matt Lucas. With all the film profits going to buy our football club.
As an aside I hope that a fellow Iron from the legal profession can turn the tables and use Ernest’s legal tactics and claims against the man himself!
