Good footballer, did the basics well and always gave 100%.
61 is no age. God Bless him, sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues.

Really struggling to get my head around the goals being wiped. Surely it sets the precedent that if you’re losing towards the end of a game you just walk off the pitch and refuse to play. You’ll still get zero points but will be as if you never conceded.
Or a final game showdown between two teams vying for promotion/playoff spot/safety…one team needs to beat the other by 2 goals and are 5-0 up…nah just walk off the pitch.
Need to see if further action is taken against Wealdstone. It should be otherwise it will only be a loss of 3pts. For me should have half of points accrued deducted. So as they have 12 then they lose 6 and if later in the season the same 50% deduction stands – now that could be season ending !

Thats life !
Provided good pitches season after season. Did a phenomenal job with what he had.
God Bless Graham – thank you for everything you did. Condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

I think the offending team should also get a severe goal deficit. May I suggest – 10 goals, this then could affect end of season positions which could be very damaging. Only 3 pts may not be an issue for them but a MINUS 10 – now that is different.
I had an hours chat with him in the afternoon at the Wortley before his ‘Evening With’ with guest Jimmy Greaves. Should have recorded it, so many great stories he had. 22nd Sept 2000 that was.
Was a good tribute for him and a superb night that was richly deserved. Can remember one match report in the NOWT. The reporter said his team mates wouldn’t pass him the ball so Barrie went back to collect the ball deep in defence and went the full length of the field on his own and scored. The dressing room clique didn’t like him doing well.
Sad news indeed. Saw him play several times – from the half way line his pace was electric, left defenders with ease and a great finisher.
211 goals in 338 games. Scored well for all the clubs he played after leaving Leicester City. Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting to him once at that special evening at the Wortley Hotel. A very soft spoken, humble man, an honour to have shook his hand.
God Bless IRON LEGEND.

Can imagine a team talk focussed on RED cards.
2 fullbacks out for Eastleigh away. But players will step up to cope.
So best to the squad and our travelling fans.When down to 10; I’d go:
In possession 2-4-3
Out possession 4-4-1When going down to 1o just where is Jim Goodwin ?
Best organiser we have had over the years. Need someone to step into that role.

Took a former U16 Scunthorpe United Academy player to set them on their way.
This was not a loan idea. Just that he had scored a good goal the other weekend so thought discussion point.
Re – another mid person, can understand comments. Does sound from the Fans Q&A at the AA we may be able to ask Sunderland if we have an issue.
Chorley doing well. Kings Lynn up there but seemingly a lot of investment so need to be.
Chester certainly had a poor start.
It is a problem for us for many seasons – players not moving into space fast enough.
Perhaps this season we may see its return on a regular basis because we have the players to deal with the crosses into the box.
If Mr Butler is happy with it then it will not change so all you terrace coaches get behind Maison and help him, our fans have always helped when a player needs it.

And we know what usually follows with us if this happens !
Give it to him at Morecambe.

Yeah I thought the forum was a refreshing change from the tripe Swann and Hilton served up in their time with the club, as for Matt and peoples eyes going up into their head when his name was mentioned last night. Well Matt was one of the main people involved in getting the fans fundraiser started when the club didn’t have a pot to piss in and players and staff were going unpaid, just a thought.
The money raised by IRON BRU’s appeal that went worldwide probably saved the club.
Even Michelle has to admit it gave her a breathing space. Staff and players could have walked – they had not been paid and if we had failed to play a fixture then that could have been the end.
And people need to remember that !

Crap! Too late for me.
Really need a heads up on the midweek predictions.
I am retired so I will give a heads up the day before any if that is acceptable.
That would be a great help, thanks. Obviously it’s better and more interesting if we’re all competing instead of not realising.
Not a problem. Yes best if we all fail at the same time !!!
PS: You have missed one for saturday Deeryeme that is the BRAINTREE v YEOVIL game.I do look to see how our thought processes and bravery compare.

Not just the competitive games this season either is it though, he was making these glaring mistakes in almost every game in pre-season too. His distribution is piss poor as well, gifted Sunderland’s first in mid week and a number of dead balls flying straight into touch in both league games so far. How long do we roll out the “he’s young, give the lad a chance” excuse? He’s a professional footballer and that sort of mistake made today is the sort you make as a youth and quickly learn from it. Thankfully we were 3-0 up after a relatively impressive performance, but we won’t be afforded that luxury all season and he’s going to cost us.
In the papers after saturday game it read ” After flapping at corner a calamitous goal was conceded ” – you remember the goal ? Well the keeper they referred to was ALTAY BAYINDIR of Manchester United. He cost them £4.3 million. His Manager Mr Amorim said he was not looking for another keeper.
Just to give a balance.

Whitehall
Ewing
HoweGATE: 4680
Fingers crossed so the club can move on.
Great news and it is above the pre-covid figures.
To maintain 2 things are a must 1/ Providing entertaining attacking football….. and …2/ Never treat the fans with contempt like some others did.

Greatest Improvement needed over the season – Quality of the passing and direction. Chuckle bros style will not be good enough.
Neither will a stubborn attitude from AB.The team needs stability establishing asap, and a formation that helps the players settle quickly. Experimentation will lead to more fails than successes I fear.
My final request – No Targeting ! All games are there to be won, but go into them with indecision and problems occur.
Best to all and special mentions to the travelling fans – please be careful on your travels and get home safely.
Fortune favours the brave. So let us see how brave we want to be.

Blimey, only just remembered to make the first lot of predictions before Saturday. A long season ahead…
It has arrived quickly. Certainly looking forward to the season long tussle with you all.
As usual my blind optimism will cost me dear although I have fingers crossed that 352 does not rear its ugly head !!!
Good luck all.
Those trialists we list may be there at the request of their agents. Probably been training with us and keeping a good level of fitness plus drills in formations, set-ups etc
Good luck to them.
Just to say everyone that with the dire situation at Morecambe the Nat Lge have postponed their 1st 3 fixtures.
So as a result the Boston fixture has been postponed. Iron Bru has acted very quickly and put another fixture on the page.
It is WOKING v CARLISLE but the Boston is still visible.So don’t miss out and update you predictions so you have 5 active games.
Good Luck to all and thank you Iron Bru for dealing with it.
For the Bottesford Towns it is a lot of games for part timers.
Good luck to all of them.
