I understand change may need to happen to progress, but Michelle’s efforts deserve more respect surely. Surely it can be handled differently than what is seemingly happening, according to rumours.

[Siderite]

Either way, he should have known how it would appear. And palling with the AfD doesn’t help.

Tbf, much of it involves legitimate questions being asked over this Unity group. Questions that shouldn’t cause anger and would benefit anyone who wants to know more, including those interested in joining. Yet this group have lost their rag over that.

Welcome. What brought you to support the Iron? Out of interest Have you managed to make it across to the UK to see a game in person? Was Trent McLenahan criminally underused?

I guess they find the timing to be deliberate and some comments could be taken as barbs at the Unity group.

At least one of the nutters threw a tantrum and resigned from the Israeli government.

Personal grievances have coloured it from the start and Stuart Maw’s attacks on the Trust has created division in the fanbase.

I have no issue with this Unity Group doing raffles for away travel, but it would need to be transparent and that hasn’t been the case to date. They sold their fundraising as a bit more than their travel subsidies and it all seemed to be about praising the Maws. I don’t really see why this can’t be done through the Trust and it seems to be too tied up with some egos.

Trump’s got his crypto coin now. It’s like having David Hilton as president with these obvious cons.

Thanks for that CMC. I couldn’t remember where or when it was posted so big help.
Correct hence I’m not jumping on the Stu’s a predator bandwagon. Unsavoury perhaps but not the extreme it’s being made out to be. I haven’t changed my stance particularly, unlike some.

On the other thread you’re bemoaning the unsavoury nature of it as being chalked down as social media naivety. The first paragraph of that post could easily be interpreted as you bemoaning others for not taking such concerns seriously when your concerns were just you laughing along with him. You’re still using one person’s comments to represent many who have spoken about this nature of him.

And, no, it may not be in the realms of Jimmy Saville, but it is sleazy. That sticks in the craw when he was being so self-righteous, which is why it exploded then and not when you shared it while he wasn’t stirring the pot.

Yeah, but he doesn’t get to play the hero if he admitted it was less of a concern and more of a joke to laugh along with.

[Siderite]

By some, you mean one person, otherwise you’re using his past stated opinion to cast shade at anyone for commenting on Stu’s social media antics. Even though the person you have a seeming thing for hasn’t commented much on the sleazy aspects since.

[Siderite]

One person’s opinion at the time doesn’t reflect all. The reactions to Stu’s social media output came to the forefront when he was pontificating about his heroism, as these things often do (when someone’s not causing a stir, people don’t take so much interest in them). It rubbed people up the wrong way when he was being high and mighty.

[Siderite]

Maybe he’s learned to use an anonymous twitter account for his sleazy stuff.

[Siderite]

I’ve never known a ‘genocide’ to have a ceasefire before. It’s almost as if it’s a horrific war, not a genocide.

Also, my understanding is that the delay was caused by Hamas not releasing the list of hostages. Evil Israel not going through with the ceasefire when the other party doesn’t follow the conditions. Don’t they know that Hamas have no responsibility and who cares about Jews being kept as hostages anyway? That’s evil Zionism and support for genocide to think of them.

I’d say it’s more likely that he has fallen out with Butler, isn’t pulling his weight in training or something like that than Butler isn’t happy that he’s looked good and has done this to anger fans.

[Siderite]

Why would Butler loan out a player because he thought he was playing well and to anger fans? That’s crazy talk.

[Siderite]

Well, Rory Watson won player of the season for us.

The people who said “you lost, get over it” are now signing petitions for a new election because they don’t like the result of an election.

[Siderite]

I am surprised bpg expects another election given he tells us the totalitarian Marxist state is just around the corner.

You’ve slated other fans for not being genuine, so it’s a bit rich to complain and say others are up their backside when you have done the same.

Ask 64 that. He was the one who made that claim.

I wonder if that someone is the egotistical car salesman who promised us dodgy Dave definitely had the money, cast shade at anyone questioning and brought in the cowboys who did the pitch.

[Siderite]

What was that about bemoaning others engaging in squabbles like a ‘teenage girl’?

I don’t think you need to be some sort of expert to know that coaching can help players. Even if they are 31.

[Siderite]

There’s something ironic about iron414 bemoaning squabbling when he makes digs in his posts, provoked or not.

[Siderite]

Maybe the club could lock the gates to the ground, put up a sign saying we’re claiming squatter’s rights, announce a ground move to Gainsborough without telling them and have Jason Herbert announce it on the Facebook group to remind us of the feel good factor of the good old days.

Which demonstrates that they’re doing a better job than the previous clowns, so I will not be buying into the doom and gloom of how terrible a job they are doing because they’ve hired a catering manager. So, yes, it is better than previous ownership, as stated and questioned.

What is better under this ownership exactly i haven’t seen anything yet.

Get over they saved the club crap that’s being and done, what we supposed to do doff our caps and say thank you no matter what. Not that it matters to much anyway we’re likely to be playing a club next s eason that wen under and their journey is more of a positive one than ours, that feel good factor as long gone and for me never even started under this board.

We’re not getting the CCJs, we have no ground problems or lies about it from the owner. Some of the things you have mentioned are valid criticisms, but the problem is that they are small fry to what you were cheering on. It’s hard to take it or you seriously when you were fine with far worse.

The feel good has gone because the club was ruined by both of your idols. It would have been hard for anyone to make a perfect recovery after it was run to the ground by Swann and Hilton.

Swann may have drained all cash and stripped us of owning our own home, while Hilton refused to put any of his own money in or attempt to get the club on a stable footing, while getting us booted out, creating division running ponzi schemes and other things which I shouldn’t mention (but have been said by more than one source) because none of it has been made public, but at least he didn’t hire a catering manager or CEO! That ruins the feel good factor brought on by wrecking the club like a spiv.
