Butler needs to get a grip of this. Most fans back him and are happy with how he got us promoted and an overall decent season so far. Most aren’t blaming him or player effort for our recent slump.
As long as it isn’t abusive, negative comments are expected, even if some are overly negative at times. But that’s the price for free speech. People should temper themselves if they can, but they shouldn’t be forced to. Gesticulating for fans to go for asinine comments is ridiculous and makes him look bad. It’s the fans’ club as well, even if some might be negative. It doesn’t bode well if things really go awry.
This all said, I am glad he is the manager over an overrated lower non-league manager who tried and failed with a bigger budget. He achieved more with less.

As an attempt at publicing the 3 up campaign. Doesn’t seem to be generating much attention though.

All the best to him. It would be nice if the fans sung his name to show support, even if it is a small gesture.

The Man Utd and Sheff Wednesday wins will be more than enough for them to have pride. We would snap our hands off to have had a cup run like that, even with a routine defeat at the end.

Stuart Maw and Jerry better watch out. Any more tension with the Trust and they might be found with a bin bag and concrete blocks in the Trent.

If you don’t go to games, it does make it harder to comment on the performance of the team, but off pitch matters can still be understood as well.

Yes, I do think welcoming more fans in and not having monkey chants or banana skins thrown at black players is a good thing about football today and if everyone but the likes of Deerey are happier with that, I am not ashamed to say I would prefer to be round the likes of Deerey than anyone being a racist, homophobic and sexist berk.

The defence of the goalkeeper comes about because there are some, including WonderGoals on this thread, who treat every single goal conceded as a chance to talk about how ‘right’ they are with regards to a ‘goalkeeping crisis’ at the club because they stated there would be one from having Campbell and Watson as goalies.
It was made out we would likely be struggling because of their poor goalkeeping, yet we rarely concede more than one goal a game and many of the goals conceded have others culpable and aren’t the howlers they are often initially derided as. This hyperbolic criticism is bound to get pushback.
I don’t get why the criticism can’t be a little more measured. Watson doesn’t keep as many clean sheets as Fitzsimons and many of the goals he does concede are ‘could do better’ even if they aren’t the Sunday League level howlers they are referred to. Would we need a better goalkeeper to push on? Maybe, but this is the National League and with a few tweaks sorted, Watson at least could be an OK keeper at this level.
It’s hard to have measured debate when a section just want to speak as if we have plonked some bloke from the pub in net.

Interesting video,TwoWright. Did you find my video interesting?
No, it was the usual ‘believe in God or else’ guff. If you were from Syria instead of the Scunthorpe area, you’d most probably be posting Islamic guff.
