Martin Carruthers has insinuated that there are interesting stories to come on twitter.

[Siderite]

He’s always quickly jumping ship soon into projects. Yet he definitely has the money, he showed Simon Elliott an email!

They already had and have goalline technology, which isn’t VAR.

I have no idea why ‘they’ would lie about the NHS being close to collapse. That is not a good look for the country or government. Countries that did lie and are authoritarian, like North Korea, Nicaragua, Turkmenistan and Russia were saying they were free from covid, no-one is dying here, promise, because the incentive was to downplay.

Season by season progress is what we should measure Butler by to a large extent. He got us promotion from NLN and then to the playoffs in the NL. Next season has to show some progress in terms of position or signs of a rebuild, with promise for the season after, if we struggle with the very likely loss of Roberts.

Any major slump will be what makes me doubt Butler and, unfortunately, I don’t think he has the temperament to deal with the pressure of that, given comments when doing well gets him irate and making digs. It wouldn’t just be toxic Bru doom mongerers picking at him if we’re in a slump next season and telling everyone to stay away won’t cut it. He should let the results do the talking and it has been mostly positive on that front.

But still got benched in a team with the worst defensive record in the league. Can’t have been that good.

Going off Northmapton’s forum there was possibly a falling out between Fitz and their manager. A lot of their fans seem happy with Fitz, saying he will be one of the best keepers for League two next season. They seem to rate their other keeper too, which may also explain things.

[Siderite]

I’m not sure he did underperform. From what I have read from Northampton fans, he’s been one of the few players they have seen as performing well for them.

I am sure Ross would be encouraging to Cal, given he fought his way into the team and became well liked by the Cobblers fans.

The rumours now for Cal are Notts County or Swindon.

[Siderite]

Butler isn’t going anywhere and it is absurd to be thinking of replacing him right now. He is not beyond criticism; he has a stubbornness, has a poor media presence and attitude to the latter third of the season was too carefree. However, regardless of what ifs and hindsight, he did get us promoted last season and got us into the playoffs this season, of which not many predicted.

People would take Butler critics more seriously if it wasn’t in the maximalist style of “he has to go”.

[Siderite]

I didn’t watch the Carlisle-Boreham Wood game, but if Boreham Wood play like they did against Forest Green then Rochdale should deal with them easily.

That said, it would be funny if they did beat Rochdale. Many Dale fans are speaking on twitter as if they are already promoted.

[Siderite]

Rochdale stamped their mark on the game early on and we seemed over-awed. I don’t know what the game plan was; there was never any urgency. Often just lazy lumps up forward and hope for the best.

Our midfield has been completely neutered all game. Credit to Rochdale, but that aspect has been really disappointing. Poor defending for both goals – story of the season with these lapses in concentration.

[Siderite]

So far it is clear why Rochdale amassed so many more points. A better team in control with good structure. The stop-start nature isn’t helping us, but we have rarely threatened and only occasional moments from Jones or Roberts deliver some kind of hope, butn their final product hasn’t always been great.

[Siderite]

I see poor Dave is getting flak from Matlock fans. Why can’t they be ecstatic that they have got such a generous soul who works hard for creating a good image for his family? That’s his only motive, after all. Very ropey off pitch decisions? Can’t be; I heard he built them a wonderful bar, so surely they will all love Dave!

They better be careful or a handful of mean comments will give him the right to not pay staff and it will be the fault of Matlock bully boys.

[Siderite]

In fact, both teams are utterly dire.

[Siderite]

If we can be at our best, I think we can go into playing Boreham Wood or Forest Green with some confidence. Neither look special.

[Siderite]

Ref was desperate for it to be a spectacle with the amount of minutes added on. Fortunately, Southend didn’t look like a side buoyed with momentum and we did a sterling job of controlling the game.

I want to push for that bronze medal. Maybe silver.

I assume playoff games aren’t included in the prediction league.

I don’t believe him, but I think Corbyn was toppled because he led Labour to a shambolic defeat, regardless of excuses for that.

[Siderite]

The stickers just make me think “keep politics out of football, unless it’s politics we agree with.” Support for Farage is more political than the knee was, yet the people who bellyached about the latter seem to like the former.

[Siderite]

Poor Dave. He goes everywhere, trying his best to do what’s right for others, but he is always met by others trying to do him down. Be it Bury fans, Iron Bru, journalists, Interested Bystander, Swann, footballing authorities, players thinking they have a right to be paid wages and more. It’s always someone else’s fault and the best way to show that is to create aliases to then spread slander against these nefarious types.

[Siderite]

I see the toxic legacy member, DeereyMe, is launching a pile on against the Wealdstone raider now. When will the Bru bully boys stop?

Nearly every single post of yours includes a dig, back slapping for your own apparently clever digs, then moaning about others being unhospitable back after such obviously provocatory behaviour. If you want to add perspective, make some actual discussions without references to evil Bru, Trust members or making digs. Then you might have cause for complaint if others are snide back. At the moment, it seems to be you wanting to make digs at others, then acting the innocent when someone is snide back.

“What does surprise me is other supporters groups haven’t tried to throw the sort of cow muck around thats been flung on here at the Iron Trusts board members.”

Presumably calling others ‘club killers’ and ‘parasites’ for criticising poor, Dodgy Dave was not part of this, nor their own digs at the Trust. Yes, some have given back and have not been innocent, but it is hardly one way. This is the problem. There are issues here where some have been too much, particularly with Positivity Dave, but others want to act like angels, while wanting being toxic. It’s always someone else’s fault…

For the entirety of the time you have been on here, I have seen you deliberately try to provoke, others then get provoked and then you play the innocent victim afterwards of ‘nasty Bru pile ons’ which correspond to one or two poking at you.

I have nothing against Positivity Dave, but people are allowed to think he is egotistical based off opinion. I cannot say if he is for certain, and don’t hold that opinion myself, but can understand how his antics might be interpreted as such, and it’s nothing to do with jealousy. That is based off your own opinion, and you’re welcome to it, but I don’t see why a negative opinion of Positivity Dave is always wrong.

As for Unity, they only ruffled me and many others because of the way they handled their inception, which was seemingly made it out to be a challenge to the Trust. Including from individuals who already caused division through insulting others for not backing Dodgy Dave. I couldn’t give a toss about how much money they make and would have zero issue with them being close to the club if they weren’t being divisive themselves.

I was not trying to argue with you and wasn’t directing that as a point against you as if you were disagreeing on this aspect. It was more of an addition to add extra information for context.

Starmer has many faults. Expelling politicians for misdeeds, even if some might be harsh, is not the same as dominating over what should be independent media outlets so no dissenting views can be aired, making it resemble a propaganda network.
