    Hopeful punts rather than players with any sort of pedigree

    Mind you, some of our recent pedigree dogs turned out to be pups!

    Adam Hammill, James Perch, Simon Church, Jamie Proctor. Even Lee Novak only really did as well as Loft did last season.

    A bit of skill and a positive attitude will do for starters.

    Thanks BI66.

    The guy who owns New Look is involved in the company too.

    They’re also doing the Wolves kit which looks more canary yellow than old gold! And that Rangers shirt is a very bright blue.

    Good, bold designs though.

    He was also Newcastle’s second highest earner last year after Jolinton!

    Been into Sports Direct in Newcastle this afternoon. It’s a striped shirt okay, with broader stripes than last year’s and a gash white “granddad” collar. It’s manufactured by some company called Castore which I admit to having never heard of before!

    I did sanitise my hands before and after touching one btw!

    Heard today from a person that works down there that we have sold just under a 1000 season tickets.

    Don’t you mean UTI99?

    It’s crap!

    Several clubs have tried this fade design including a couple of PL sides.

    Man City had that orange into yellow away strip and Spurs tried fading the white shirts into navy shorts which looked bloody stupid when they wore white shorts in Europe!

    It doesn’t work! Football kits should be strong blocks of colour.

    It’s yet another example of how Scunthorpe United has lost its identity. If we stuck with claret and blue stripes years ago then we’d have one. You don’t see the Cods or Newcastle ditching their black and white stripes, or Blackburn binning their blue and white halfs.

    The fans’ vote was a complete joke. It was always going to be the mess we’re getting this season so don’t take us for fools Mr Swann!

    How was I supposed to know we had two in before Bunn and Thompson arrived ?

    You weren’t, so don’t make guesses and don’t ridicule me thank you.

    Northumbiron must not have watched it bless him.

    I watched it all right, but Cox said nothing coherent as usual. He must be Boris. Johnson’s script writer!

    “We had some in the building, that weren’t right. We’re looking at others blah, blah!”

    If you want to read stuff into it (which is good fun admittedly) fair enough.

    Me, I’ll wait until I see signings on the BBC Sports website, like today.

    Lewis Thompson – wasn’t he one of the ones sent back?

    No it can’t be.

    Last weekend’s trialists have been sent back.

    When I suggested otherwise I was ridiculed. Must be someone else!

    Well if we’d just let it run riot in the first place, we’d all have immunity by now,

    Have you applied to be the next Head of the NHS?

    I think you should.

    Why would this point to trialists being binned?

    Uruguay 0-0

    France 0-0

    Mexico 2-0

    Argentina 1-0

    Portugal 2-1

    W Germany 4-2

    Not sure about France but I believe we didn’t concede until the semifinal, a bit like this year.
