    He did create 2 of their better chances. Certainly an upgrade on anyone that has played No 9 for us these last 3 seasons.

    Guilty conscience perhaps?

    Scrub that thought. He doesn’t have a conscience.

    Surely we will have to wait until August to have some non football to talk about.

    It is very much to the Iron’s credit that under 12’s can attend for free.

    Sadly the stuff the kids have had to watch these last 4 years has been likely to put them off football for life.

    Not sure we are turning many into lifelong fans at the moment.

    Why any Scunthorpe fan would give abuse to a man that scored 56 goals in 2 seasons, pretty much got us into the Championship and then went back to the team he grew up supporting totally escaped me.

    Oh and made us £1.9m in the process.

    Vose now plays in the heady heights of the Gibraltar league.

    Mind you if he’s prepared to play for 10 bob a week we may well re-sign him for next season.

    A reasonable post Captain until you suggested Vose was good for us.

    Only managed 2 appearances and I think they were as sub. Also McAtee was excellent here but only while Hurst was in charge. He can’t be arsed to play for anyone else.

    We have had a few good ones. I think it works out 1 every 3 years or so.

    We have kissed a lot of frogs on the way.

    We are fortunate he wont be in this National League club.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve played for Sunday league teams he probably wouldn’t have got a game with and certainly he wouldn’t have got two.

    Bet he has a cracking YouTube highlights reel that convinced Cygnet he was a player.

    Goodbye Mr Perry. 24 year old midfield player that does not tackle or track his man.

    If I am reading his stats correctly never scored a goal or made an assist in his professional career. I assume we have had to pay up at least a decent chunk of his remaining contract.

    No wonder we are shite.

    Given York City have a decent chance of entering the National League from the positive end I suspect they have a better team than we do.

    I have been through my now usual end of season deliberation.

    Do I continue to go and watch the shite on offer and continue to fund the cause of the problem versus letting the cause of the problem stop me supporting my club?

    Neither are great options but same as the previous 2 seasons I have gone and paid my £190.

    I think I would settle for not having an even worse team than the season before.

    It’s something we have not managed to achieve for 5 years but the bar is about as low as it could possibly get for a supposed professional football team so we might just achieve it.

    I appreciate Turnbull and Hill’s hands are tied with regards to binning Cygnet but surely they don’t have to listen to him anymore.

    Forgot to add Deery he was probably one of the few Swann era players we made a profit on. We certainly got value for money from him and you can’t say that about many.

    Great player. Always played full on with positive intent and kept going even when things were not working for him.

    No surprise he has continued to do well.

    I Googled it earlier to make sure my memory was not playing tricks with and by sad coincidence the guy who started the pie company passed away a few days ago. It was certainly the best pie I have ever had at a football match by some margin.

    Not sure I follow your logic Awaywego.

    Train journey to Chorley and back in excess of 6 hours. York and back about 2.5 hours. Chorley ticket about twice the price.

    Use the savings to get a taxi via the pub or do you just like trains?

    On current evidence we have no National League level forwards. Cameron Wilson is the nearest we have and we should be planning to get no more than 10 games and 10 sub appearences out of him.

    Hallam plays about 3 games a season (based on quite a bit of evidence) and Nuttall has not played any yet. O’Neill has a level of pace I can match in my sixties with a dodgy knee. Bunn will surely get offered more than tuppence a week somewhere else.

    I think we need 4 forwards on that basis. Even if Nuttall comes good (and I’m not totally writing him off yet) we still need 3.

    Or if he had a last chance no wonder the lad was nervous. Strange decision either way.

    Always a sad part of this day is young players that have been with the club half their lives having to move on.

    Keep the faith lads and go again. 2 or 3 will turn up at Glanford Park in a few years scoring goals or making saves. Hopefully in the football league.

    Read the article in the Guardian again and it says Northampton plan to raise a complaint. Apologies, Mrs MK calls that a “man look”.
