Such a shame. Looks a quality player when fit. He’s reminding me of Sam Mantom. Quality player when contributing but those days are sadly few and far between.
Almost guaranteed that if we let Rose go because of injuries, he’ll barely miss another game for the rest of his career.
Matty Lund had a degenerative knee condition that meant his appearances here were rationed, but went on to play 180 more league games in the five years immediately after leaving us. Mantom himself managed 65 in the two years after leaving us at Southend, and is still going at Rushall.
There are probably others too. Bizarre.
The turnstile is for entry.
The vomitory is the larger doors for exit.Apologies for pedantry again, but the vomitory is the area near the turnstiles and doors, not the larger doors themselves; it can be used for either entry or exit.
WHAMS one an hour on the hour was pretty shambolic.
Not much quality there if my memory serves?
The six he brought in on that Thursday were absolutely awful.
DSF being the ‘best’ of a very, very bad bunch that day.Self-proclaimed “football man” Peter Swann had his own mad transfer day too. I’m inclined to believe the rumour that Kelsey Mooney was signed because a star-struck Swann had played golf with his more famous dad Tommy. It certainly wasn’t because of his ability to contribute in any meaningful way…

I’m not driving over from Sheffield for the Stoke game.
Any TV anywhere? – No. Probably not.
Commentary would be nice though.Not on YouTube after all, but looks like it’ll be on the National League website (though no explicit confirmation that every game is being covered); details at the bottom of this link:

Report said he drops out of the squad! Factually correct, but no mention illness all other team swaps they give a reason for.
Not being cynical mind.I struggle to read too much into the semantics used in the gibberish match reports when phrases like Butler having “seven new summer additions to implement into his line-up” and “last weekend’s goalscorer, Luke Brennan, inducted into the starting XI” appear.
The thesaurus is clearly getting some use, but if anything it’s obfuscating rather than enlightening.
The first episode is on the OWS though. Don’t know whether the others will be, but can’t see why not if they’re making them free-to-air, as they sometimes do…

Either click on Enterprise National League then Originals or just use the search function for Scunthorpe.
Whitehall ill, according to Butler’s post-match interview on Humberside.

Is he old and bitter?
Actually he has recently passed away.
Apologies for pedantry, but that was Humphrey. His son Sam has recently taken over.

“Whilst at Scunthorpe Utd” Reports suggest the losses were mainly equine based.
Didn’t he write off loans of £11m when shifting Glanford Park into another of his companies?
Was asking for £3m when selling, so there are some football related losses there, let alone the money wasted on architects, solicitors etc. on his imaginary new stadium, plus the ridiculous salary he reportedly paid Rodwell for 4-5 years.
A “football man” though, so he knew what he was doing, as he kept telling Jeff Stelling…

Wow. Has any previous owner/Chair inserted themselves in a team photo? I don’t recall such an incidence.
To be honest, I expected to find one with “Football Man” Peter Swann gurning away front and centre, and though I’m sure there will be one, I can’t find it.
Second favourite Simon Elliott didn’t let me down though, but disappointingly Steve Wharton has joined him in the picture..

Whatever happened to Simon Elliott? He appears to have been superseded by a number of other Superfans, to the point that he seems to have disappeared. Someone must know why he doesn’t seem to come any more…
Currently Southend v Scunthorpe does not feature on the DAZN schedule of NL games for Saturday. and it is the only game missing. Several of our lads have messaged DAZN but have not got any response that it will be covered. Those of you that are considering watching on DAZN, it may or may not happen.
For those of you travelling down for the game, it looks like you’ve shifted around 250 tickets s0 far.
It’s a concern that it isn’t overtly listed on the DAZN website. They’d given the impression that all NL games in August were being covered.
This page of theirs is more positive, however…
I wish the likes of this content could be put behind a paywall. Dreadful.

I’ve seen criticism on here of his performance, but the statistical review tells a different story:
“Ross Barrows was everywhere for the home side on Saturday. He played the full 99 minutes, completed 51 of his 74 actions, and had one key pass to his name.”
I think so anyway. I’m not sure what much of that means other than playing the full match.

I’m not driving over from Sheffield for the Stoke game.
Any TV anywhere? – No. Probably not.
Commentary would be nice though.Last year matches were on YouTube on the Enterprise National League channel. I haven’t been able to find any confirmation that it will be the case this season though.
For instance ,there’s a Salah one I’ve seen in a Scunthorpe Shirt.My immediate reaction was AI nonsense.
Are you sure it wasn’t a genuine one of him in a Trabzonspor shirt?
I don’t remember our kits having a mini Turkish flag on them, even if Hull City might start doing that before long…
I saw him play with Clemance in goal in that fa cup year we reached the 5th round.used go to Quibell park to watch the team train.l had his auto graph signed J K Keegan was and is one of my Scunny united heros he was just an ordinary guy.
Apologies for pedantry, but Geoff Barnard was in goal that day.
Keegan and Clemence’s times in the first team didn’t overlap.
Further to my post above, it’s worth pointing out his success in attracting “Legends” compared to what is planned for next Sunday if the programmes provided for those matches are anywhere near correct.

Again bang on ..
Keegan Bar
Keegan Exec Lounge ..
after all what has Beffy ever done for the club especially when it was very close to going out of exsistence . Bothams last appearance in Scunny was at the crown court for a fight outside Tiffs 555555[/quote]
Botham did help raise funds in the early 80s when the club was struggling financially with a couple of friendlies staged at the OSG against “Ian Botham’s Saab XI”.
He was also a fairly regular visitor to GP during Swann’s reign, with his own ‘El Presidente’ reserved parking space outside the West stand.
I doubt £20k gets you much . I worry it will be costly and I see nobody has come up with a target
Almost certainly correct. The statue at Peterborough for former captain, manager and chairman Chris Turner cost £80000 nearly a decade ago.

They’ll be calling up Paul Wheatcroft and Sean McAuley before long…

A business can sponsor your seat (sticker on the back facing the seat behind) without your consent, whereas you can opt to pay to personalise your own seat with a sticker on the front. The business advertising on seats is odd. Who is going to see the sticker other than a few people sitting in the row behind?
I’m still struggling with the idea that, in the article promoting personalising your own seat with Advantage, the club promised it would be “visible to thousands of supporters every time they walk through the turnstiles.” Presumably not in such a way as to be actually legible, but…
Back of seat advertising seems even more problematic in that regard.
The club won’t be able to paywall the fixture list as the information will be generally available to the public through other means.
They would if they could though…
Obertan another top shout. I nominate William Prunier.
Who will play alongside him? Jonjo Shelvey, Luke Chadwick, Eric Djemba Djemba and Bebe?
Might Shelvey be playing as a paying fan?
Though he never played for Man U, he’s exactly the calibre of ‘legend’ signed up to Nor-Lait Promotions, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he turns up alongside Torben Piechnik for an Anfield Legends Q+A with tickets at fifty quid a head (pie and peas included) at some point.
I remember 1994, with Graham Alexander scoring the only goal from distance whilst wearing PNE’s reserve shirt from the previous season. As hideous a combination of shirt and shorts as you could imagine, even if accounting for 1990s fashions…
I remember being impressed that we’d signed him, as he had a decent scoring record from midfield at Chesterfield despite being a part-timer (one online source suggests he was the only one in the Football League at the time).
No sooner had he arrived than he was on his way, presumably because being a part-timer was more conducive to his studies.
Interesting to see that one of his colleagues in his agency is the England Ladies’ coach sacked for racism towards Eni Aluko and others..
Four games at the start of the 1996-7 season. Later than I’d thought..
David Moss was a midfielder in the late 80s I think, possibly early 90s.
Didn’t stay long before leaving for Patrick Thistle. He was studying to be an accountant, and his Wikipedia page suggests he ran a car insurance business when playing in Scotland, and became Head of Football Operations at Huddersfield in 2017 and worked at Celtic.
Looks like he’s an agent now…
