LOL at the above.
There’s apologist, then there’s cloud cuckoo land.
Next time they come and camp on the land bordered by Doncaster Road, Collinson Avrnue and Berkeley Juniors, I’ll invite you to come and meet them.This time they:
Left filth, refuse and debris it took NLC a fortnight to clean up…in hazmat suits.
Broke down most of the hundreds of young trees planted that Spring. Many won’t recover.
Paraded up and down local roads in the wee small hours shouting abuse and, “We’re back! F*ck all you can do! Can’t stop us! F*ck off!”
Terrorised local shopkeepers, arriving mob janded and stealing eith impunity.
Caused untold damage to local leisure facilities with their vehicles.
Went on a spree breaking into sheds, garages and outbuildings.Local police would not attend…indeed, were frightened to come even when the council FINALLY managed to get an order for the pikeys to move on.
Three and a half weeks of misery for local residents.
So take your sycophant post and shove it.
I would imagine that they are not of Roma Gypsy stock, but what the Irish used to refer to as tinkers. I doubt that they go round sharpening things these days, as there is no call for it (everything disposable). Those who are forever camping on public land, such as school playing fields and parks, are not Roma and the Roma don’t like being lumped in with them.

The travellers I know moved into council housing back in the 1970’s, which they went on to buy in the 1990’s. They were self employed roofers and builders, and they employed their kids who would eventually inherit the businesses. Those still living in caravans have their own land, they are spotless and tidy, and the trailers are static and have their own indoor pluming (including toilets). Those who live in their houses, are also super clean and tidy. Oh and they do pay their taxes, that I know.
I used to knock about with some travelling folk when I was very young, (10 – 13.) They were very familiar orientated, but treated me like I was one of their own. Even if I was a ‘gorgier!’
They were/are nice people and are still my friends to this day.

This could be our first win in ages, if Keith has already had an influence on the team.
Glass back to half full again, it’s been so long. Looking forward to seeing what happens in January.
UTBI
So we lose 0 – 1 (own goal) to a L1 team, albeit not the best in that division. I don’t think Keith has had the time to have much involvement in this, and five subs makes me wonder if this match was an attempt to show what is our best eleven.
Methinks that after a week of training, and our new manager fully involved, we may well see a different Iron next week.
Here’s hoping. – UTBI.
I’m hoping to see an improvement in Ryan Loft. He was once described as a handful, and that might well have been ‘coached out of him.’ This manager will need a makeshift target man until January at least.
I like Loftie, hope he can step up.

That changed quickly, last I looked it was 6/5 against. WOW!
I wonder if someone in the “know” has been and got their money on!
Well that is how it works (sometimes) in horse racing. Trainers and jockeys can’t back on, or indeed against there horses, but the owners can. When the owners pile on, the price tumbles dramatically.
Perhaps the Swann family have all their money on Keith Hill?
That changed quickly, last I looked it was 6/5 against. WOW!
On Sky Bet currently Keith Hill is 6/5 fav. Adkins and Ball are 4/1. McMahon is 8/1 and Andy Dawson is 12/1,
I hope this happens, but sincerely doubt that it will. If it did then changes would need to be made, and new players would have to be brought in come January.
Interesting to hear Swann talking about Adkins and having his phone number on his phone, get it bloody dialled man!!!
Wouldn’t confirm or deny if Adkins had applied….
Maybe he is trying to get the odds higher so his mates can all get a good price on Hill. Sky Bet are running a book on it!

Hill is now joint fav (5/1) along with McMahon!
On Sky Bet he is 5/1 fav. Hill is 6/1. Adkins is 8/1.
Please ye gods make it be Nigel!!

Who the hell is Chris Beech?
Would be great to see Nige come back. I doubt he would even if some bookies had him as favourite earlier on.
If he did then Swanny would have to agree to quite a few conditions to oil the wheels.

They should be talking about developing already well established football grounds, there must be thousands here that could do with government grants to improve them. Then after the World Cup they could let them just keep the upgrades.
I might be dreaming or even barking up the wrong tree. Never mind…
As long as teams like Crawley continue to underestimate us, we have a good chance of beating them and will avoid relegation.
It looks (to all intent and purpose) like The Iron have learned how to fight, and will not allow mediocre sides to simply roll them over.
Long may they continue to improve!
UTBI (By the way, Crawley is a shithole.)

He’s been hiding a while now
I genuinely thought he must have either emigrated or sadly passed away.
I predict he’s been travelling the world abusing people but covid travel restrictions forced him back !
Damnit, you had to use the word ‘sadly!’
It’s sad watching what is happening, even from here. People ask me all the time how The Iron are getting on, they say that the only way is up, but they don’t know how far we have fallen.
Sacking the manager won’t help, partly because we will end up with a shower of shit journey men to chose from. Managers who have tried and failed multiple times. Nobody serious will even want to manage The Iron.
I haven’t the time or patience to work out the average time our managers last, but I bet it ain’t long.
When you are in a hole, stop digging. That is what people say. Yet our chairman is so aloof that he doesn’t believe simple facts of life apply to him. He has been digging for so long that he is going to creat a new fault line.
Like I said, it’s sad.😢
That is enough now, don’t blame a well below average team, or for that matter a manager who has had to work with no actual support.
This is down to Swann and his little board of signets. He can blame COVID, and any of the managers he has hired then fired. The buck stops with him, and we all know it.
We need this dickhead to resign it’s chairmanship now, and give way to someone with more experience. Even if he can’t sell his controlling shares, we need, nay deserve, better.
Without Swann in charge, we might well get some outside investment. Without which we can’t expect to sign any, even half decent players in January.
UTBI 🙁
Serves you feckers right. You didn’t touch your forlocks and bow in adoration.
So he took his ball home and his money (and the clubs assets) and took you out of the league.
That will teach you to be more appreciative of the great and the good!
PS it’s your fault (and Covid)
Sorry Lord Swann I promise to try harder next week.
He ain’t no lord, more like a turd. I hate the feck. RIP The Iron. 😢
October 7, 2021 at 3:59 pm in reply to: Harrogate away, time to show our fury as supporters? #214994Singing anti Swann chants from the terraces will only piss off the manager and his team. Swann won’t be there and won’t be listening. Just like he may have his stooges in here, but he won’t be reading any of these posts.
When I suggested protesting on the pitch, I did not mean a violent protest, nor did I suggest interrupting the match.
News of a silent sit down protest on the pitch, about 35 minutes before kick off, would definitely reach him. Cool heads are always required for any successful demo. Done correctly it could get more of our fans on board. Might even get on Look North.
Nobody expected the Iron to get anything from that match. The reality being that we are currently favourites for relegation from league two, and Rotherham are a decent league one side who could well get into the playoffs.
So Neil had nothing to lose, and that have him licence to try something else. I only hope that he was inspired by the way his team can perform, given the correct tactics.
We must continue playing 4-4-2, and force our opponents into making errors.
The season is young, we should not give up the ghost now!

October 4, 2021 at 7:44 pm in reply to: Harrogate away, time to show our fury as supporters? #214793Any protest against the current regime should be done at home, with a sit down protest on the pitch. Get everyone on board, men women and children. Don’t call out the manager or his (our) players, this is all about the oppression of our club by the Swann family.
UTBI
I’m far from happy with the status quo at Glanford Park these days. But I don’t think the answer is resorting to sacking yet another manager.
If we escape relegation this year, and I’m certain that there are more than two teams performing worse than dear old Scunny. He should be allowed to buy a few more players and aim a little higher next season.
The problem lies with the chairman and his team (family.)

I’m getting in early to give Neil & Mark 24 hours to digest the team suggestion and come to the conclusion that it can’t be any worse and just might work.

Bunn ScrimshawAssumptions:- Millen & Davis not fit, Hackney not guaranteed a start
Proviso:- No long, high balls to the front two. UTI.I hope you are right, in the absence of Ryan Loft, that is about the best we can expect.

Manni sent off for professional foul. We are down to 10 men, but had he not made the foul we could be 1 – 0 down. Thoughts?
Well done to the Hungarians for booing the Marxist knee taking for BLM yesterday! Unlike our lily livered libtards who celebrate such submission!
They were top class and loud throughout! Something for their country to be proud of! Shows what happens when you live in a country which allows patriotism and doesn’t allow libtards to hate on their nation! I wish England fans would follow suit!
What’s all this got to do with football? The simple fact of the matter is that Hungary were stuffed four nowt, could’ve/should’ve been eight. Hungary collapsed after the first goal and the “patriotic” fans kicked off, the same has happened in the past with England. The players are embarrassed to be representing idiots.
It’s the football that counts, and fair play. We are better than this stupidity.Ok, so let’s look at this from a liberal’s point of view. Put the boots on the other feet.
If a team full of swanky rich players turned up to play England at Wembley, tried to show us how to behave, then continued to thrash us, then score 4 goals without ever looking likely to concede. How do you expect the England fans to behave? Do you remember the fuss made because they sang ‘fuck the IRA’ at Parkhead?
I can’t even call this double standards, because this is multi faceted ignorance.
Hold on, there must be black people in Hungary. Maybe not in their National team (yet) but surely those so called ‘ultras’ must be cheering on black players when supporting their local teams?
Perhaps they dislike English players in general. Everybody knows how pampered they are and how much money they get.
