Got a fair few from the OSG days Apollo. Very much in the gathering dust category (likewise around a dozen shirts that Mrs NI gives me grief about!).

Am away at the moment but I’ll have a shuftie when I get back.

Big squad in certain positions. Wafer thin in others.

[Northumbiron]

Behave!

[Northumbiron]

Was it Butler that “let him go”?

Not so sure myself.

[Northumbiron]

I remember seeing jars of sea air on sale out at the coast back in the day!

[Northumbiron]

Lose tomorrow and at Carlisle on Monday and Butler will be in deep do-doos!

Pick up another couple of injuries and/or suspensions and he’ll be swimming through treacle.

Aye, we’ve had our fair share over the years.

[Northumbiron]

So nothing to do with the place where you throw up after seven pints of lager and a dodgy meat pie?

Scooby-do classic plot. The Butler did it!

Always remembering that this is a National League football club and not Amazon or even M&S.

And I’ll wager neither do you, Dooby-do!

Or looking at it a different way.

Most Carlisle supporters are unlikely to make the journey down to Southend (whatever time the ko is), so being able to watch live on DAZN is a bonus.

[Northumbiron]

Every game in the NL kicked off at 12:30 last Saturday. So it’s not just supporters of Scunthorpe United that’s affected.

My mate is a Sunderland ST holder and this season’s schedule has some ridiculous kick off times, mostly due to them being in the UEFA Conference League.

So not just DAZN, it’s also TNT, EPNS, SKY and the rest.

Don’t get me started on the Carlisle game. The one game that’s easy for me to get to and I’m away for the Bank Holiday.

C’est la vie!

In 06/07 we were playing decent stuff that’s the difference.

I want league football foremost, but I’ll take regional football over this shite Dazn league.
So many games just off the transpennine line in Nln.
Costing me and mi kids a bloody fortune £130 for rail and admission for Southend alone.
£70 quid for the grandkid to get to Eastleigh.
£80+ to Hornchurch and there’s no train back from Donny.

Anyone would think that there’s a National League equivalent to Infantino who deliberately chooses which clubs will compete in which division just to personally piss you off!

That’s the thing about promotion and relegation. You never know who you’re going to get.

The score predictions are a reflection of people’s individual perception on how they foresee the outcome?

There have always been people on here who, although not necessarily wanting us to lose, are not disappointed when we do as it reinforces their views on the players/manager/owner.

Breaking news! Connor Smith and Andy Butler agree to have their contracts terminated by mutual consent.

Meanwhile back in the real world…

[Northumbiron]

Losing can become a habit and you need to get out of that habit sooner rather than later. It’s okay giving the manager ten games but we need to start winning asap!

I said at the start of the campaign we needed to get points on the board early and if we only got ten points from the first ten games then he’d be under fire.

So he needs to win at least three of the next seven to get anywhere near that.

Already that’s looking a tough ask. Pressure definitely on.

I’ve been wondering what Schofield brings to table for a while now.

He can’t even shout “Becky’s on!” from the dugout these days.

Looks like we’re due a win then!

And loan time shortly after?

Don’t forget that Levi can also play at right-back!

So that’s an extra £45m City have got to spend on solicitors fees.

Alky, you conveniently forget about the owner who did speculate to accumulate when we were last challenging in L1. Lucrative contracts, high wages.

Plans for a new stadium FFS!

Ultimately the reason we are at the level we are now.

But I distinctly remember your mantra of “Swann, Swann, get yourself gone!”

Can’t have it both ways.

[Northumbiron]

“Massive on field presence”.

Is that a euphemism?
