Let’s not. Many crimes are victimless, from begging to assisted suicide. If Sainsbury’s sells me a case of San Miguel at 09.55 on a Sunday, they’re breaking the law. And the victim is????

Many laws which make harmless behaviour illegal are simply based on opinions about morality, and petty, small-minded, religiously informed opinions at that.

Some on here are so quick to moralise about a footballer’s past and question his present, while cheerleading for some of the biggest political criminals around.

Do you remember the Eddie Murphy film; Trading Places.
Many ‘beggars’ have homes and indeed cars that they own!

Assisted Suicide is legal in some countries – we’ve all heard of Dignitas?

“including Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, parts of the United States and all six states of Australia.

The constitutional courts of Colombia, Germany and Italy legalized assisted suicide, but their governments have not legislated or regulated the practice yet.”

It’ll be legal in the UK in the not so distant future.

I’m many, many miles from GP and there’s nothing scheduled to be streamed from NLN or NLS on Saturday.

Though I could watch a NL game… ????

I don’t get it?

[Rene Artois]

They all ‘rolled over’ and I fell out.

I hope we don’t ’roll over’ at the weekend!

He’s not for me as he looks lightweight and has no experience.

Hopefully the three people injured made a full recovery.

Let’s remember that there is no such thing as a victimless crime.

His replacement won’t be either.
6 games in 5 seasons (Wiki) doesn’t scream experience or match fitness. BUT he has plenty to prove so should at least be trying hard. Good luck young fella.

6 games – 5 seasons – 0 goals

Now that the embargo has been lifted I’m sure our CEO will have a few players up his sleeve.
Onwards and upwards now!

The boss man in their technical area had 13 seasons in the Premier League and 7 seasons in the Championship as a player and has a Champions League winners medal in a drawer somewhere.

The guy in our tactic-less area has…

We just need to see a good performance, a solid, hardworking team taking pride in representing the Club and people of Scunthorpe.

I can handle losing if they’ve put a shift in, put their heads & bodies on the line, given blood, sweat & tears for the Club!

Apathetic surrender by non-essayeurs isn’t acceptable and needs driving out of the Club!

I see ex young Irons Curtis Bateson & Dan Gallimore are at Clee… and I’m sure Josh Walker was in the Academy set up?

2 goals for Walker and 1 for Gallimore.
4-2-3-1 set up.

Stockton Town 4-3 Clee
Att: 547

It looks as if they ain’t giving Harrison Poulter much game time?

Yeah, the Saturday 3pm games… but I’ll want to watch the mid-week ones too.
Cheers.

Great. I’ll just use the Wi-Fi rather than my phone service provider.
Thanks.

I’m thinking that in order to watch the games, I may have to purchase a phone & SIM card of the country that I’m in?

An overseas wifi network will have an overseas IP address so that should be fine.

Dur… how dumb of me – I’ll be able to access it using the Wi-Fi rather than my phone.
Slaps forehead… I’ll go and stand in the corner for a while!
Thanks for the help.

[Rene Artois]

I’ve emailed them (NLTV) in order to hopefully get a definitive answer.

[Rene Artois]

I’m off to warmer climes for a period this week.

My thinking is that my UK phone with my UK provider would prevent me from watching our games on NLTV?

I’m thinking that in order to watch the games, I may have to purchase a phone & SIM card of the country that I’m in?

Has anyone any experience of this?

Or, do we have any super-tech guys who know the answer?

I’ll check it out using my phone first – if that’s no good, I’ll just buy a local phone to watch the games.

77 points would (90%) guarantee us a place in the play offs.

We are currently on 61 points.

At max, we need another 16 points.

14 games remaining.

We will be in the play offs.

In the stats above (previous post), 72 points has been enough in 7 of the last 11 completed seasons (65% occurrence)

So, even a total as abysmal as 11 points from the remaining 42 points is more likely than not [2:1] to see us finish in the PO places.

[*Y*] As can be seen, we could in theory not win another game all season but still be in the play offs.

And with that stat [*Y*] – we really do need to further ask… what’s gone / going wrong?

At one point we were hydrofoiling the murky NLN waters.
Those waters have become a bog, grabbing and pulling at us and halting our progress.
Hopefully they don’t become quicksand and suck us under.

If I was Pugh, I’d be wanting to go to Hereford on a permanent.

Shrimpton to Gainsborough?

In: peer pressure will see them ‘fall in’ to the ways of the rest of the squad.

Tamworth will be promoted as Champions.
Personally, I hope we don’t finish as runners up or third.
I think those teams that play in the Playoff Semi-Finals have an advantage and are ‘in the zone’

Play offs will be an absolute lottery!

Here’s how one site sees the final table looking:

I take no pleasure from today’s correct prediction.

My ‘money thief’ has us at a lower price for SUFC to win 3-0 (10/1) than for CAFC to win 1-0 (12/1)

After the recent dismal performances, that’s (12/1) a huge price.

1-0… 9/2
2-0… 11/2
1-1… 6/1
2-1… 7/1
0-0… 8/1
3-0… 10/1
3-1… 12/1

0-1… 12/1

Warrington and Brackley are the current form teams, both taking ten points from the last four games.

Head… another 1-1
Heart… 2-1
Gut… 0-1

Three bobs at the one apple… but, if I was forced to have a bet, I’d do the 1-1

Where do we go from here?
As things are playing out, we’ll be in this league next season.
We ain’t good enough and or motivated enough to win the playoffs.
Is there anything going off that we don’t know about as previously hinted at by others?
