    The EFL hoped that Boro would win the semi final and the problem would go away. Now the EFL hope that Hull will win the final and it will mostly go away.

    The recently released statement by Phil Parsons, CE of Southampton. Entitled as fuck.

    Entitled indeed. I actually started to feel some sympathy for Hull as Parsons statement reads like they were already promoted or at least would definitely beat Hull. Now I hear Hull are getting legal advice with a view to be given promotion without even playing the final !

    They’ve cheated, got caught, hoped they’d get a paltry fine for admitting it but have been rightly hammered by the EFL. If they had any decency as a club they’d take their medicine and hide away but they’re still bleating about it and appealing.
    Karma is a bitch and Harwood-Bellis’s binoculars taunt to Ayling has condemned him to be an internet meme forever.

    The facts were out there for Matlock to see before they voted for Hilton to take over. It is absolutely no surprise and they were warned.

    I’ll start this by saying FC100000 was a massive error by the owners, Rochdale tickets were a fiasco, Butler should not have got into a shouting match with Bhuna’s dad and the club shouldn’t have banned him.

    I’m not a Butler disciple, there are no end of things that I would have liked to have been done differently, but to get that close to a playoff final at Wembley with that squad is an achievement whichever way you cut it.
    You can talk about the science of motivation, energy and momentum but we’re talking about getting 25 people with 25 personalities (who are all mainly worried about themselves, as we all are), most of whom are only here because they aren’t wanted anywhere else, to all pull in the same direction. Look at what happened with Ewing when he didn’t get the move he wanted for an example.
    Butler never misses a chance to mention the budget (which is something I think he should have been quieter about ) but it is a fact we had a mid table, at best, budget. The owners do not have very deep pockets, half the players are NLN standard and that is the position for the foreseeable future. There is more chance of Butler getting an offer to go elsewhere than anything else.
    In which case, I know many of you won’t agree, but I will be hoping he stays and he can be as stubborn, prickly and make decisions I don’t like as much as he wants.

    If Rose resumes his previous form then that is RB sorted. I’d keep Barrows as he can also play CB. If Belehouan is out of contract I’d release him.
    I think Westbrooke will get other offers so hopefully we can sign him. There’s got to be a decent CB available somewhere.
    Ewing and Roberts will be hard to replace but they aren’t world beaters, we’ve known the likelihood of them going so hopefully AB already has some ideas.

    We ran out of steam a few weeks ago when Farrell went back to Barnsley. Did well to get past Southend but Rochdale didn’t have to do anything special today, 2 goals gifted to them on a plate.

    They’ll just keep quiet and hope it all gets forgotten like everything else has.
    They haven’t even said “sorry Rochdale have had one over on us we shouldn’t have trusted them” .

    OWS said tickets available after 6.00 pm on Fanbase. Tried at 6.45 pm, all seats greyed out. Very disappointed.

    Strange, I got one an hour later. Didn’t get 6 but still could have there were several dotted around.

    Round 1 in the playoff semifinal to Rochdale then.
    Iron website says “ Rochdale have set it to a maximum of six tickets per account holder.” Easy way of knocking the noise level down from us on Sunday, Season ticket holder brings 5 mates, family, kids etc for a day out and the allocation is sold out.
    Played us like a cheap fiddle with that one.

    Ref was horrendous for both sides, particularly second half. Female assistant bailed him out a couple of times, notably when he was going to give Southend a goal kick for an obvious corner.
    Sour grapes if they’re moaning about Whitehall and the ref.

    Tricky thing about our team rootshallbloke is that if they all turn up on the night, they can be very very good. We’ve seen it.
    Worrying thing for us is we haven’t seen it for a long time.

    Personally I’d like to see us play full strength and get a decent win but I can’t see it happening.

    I think he’ll start Mahady in goal – won’t want Jones to drop a pre eliminator clanger.
    Defence – Scales, Boyce, Horton, Barrows
    Midfield – Denton, Brogan, Beestin
    Forwards – Dausch, Howe, Smith

    Subs – L Jones, Evans, Rowley, Ewing, P Jones, Belehouan, Beck

    I’m assuming Beck and Brogan are back ? AB said everyone being recalled.

    Southend are in amazing form though, be nice if Hartlepool aren’t on the same beach as Halifax but I can’t see them beating Southend.

    I would say I’ve been a consistent supporter of Andy Butler football wise on this site so I don’t think there’s an anti-AB pile on. In fact I quite enjoyed that Hartlepool game.
    If he’s so thin skinned that someone shouting in the stands has got into his head enough for him to identify who it is and want them removed from the ground then it’s a poor situation.
    What are they going to do if hundreds start to boo or chant something against Butler one day when things aren’t going so well ?
    Bhuna’s dad shouldn’t be telling stewards to “F off” but surely, as others have said, it didn’t need to escalate into a ban. I would suggest someone from the club above Butler could have gone to speak with them and negotiate an apology and truce.
    Also I think awaywego is right you can’t put any meaning on it being a lady steward whilst not want the shouting person to be referred to as an oap or elderly. If it was a male steward there’s no difference.

    There is Butler’s side, but he is the professional in this scenario and I don’t think he can have his cake and eat it.
    When there are fans referring to others on publicly viewable social media as parasites and another making bad taste cancer comments and still being lauded by the club then in my opinion they are on thin ice too.

    What are you expecting to see ? It’s a game in the National League, they were 3 days after a 7-0 whipping and we were basically as good as in the playoffs.
    Roberts had an off day but he never stopped attempting to attack a team with virtually every player back in the box. Kouogan had an excellent game in their defence and their other centre half ran himself into the ground. Pat Jones looks good, so does JB, Howe almost scored with his first touch, keeper Jones looked confident, enjoy the ride.

    * for the information of anyone reading this I fully respect 64’s opinion but disagree on this occasion * (I also fully understand 64 probably won’t respect my opinion but I can cope with that without crying.)

    As someone who doesn’t use FB or X, it does seem wierd. Obviously I get to see what’s on here and screenshots etc. I don’t get what the problem is . I don’t watch or listen to Iron Hour due to their associations and behaviour with Hilton, I don’t follow Unity and Maw because of the stuff he posted (parasites etc).
    If PD or facebook groups or unity groups don’t like what is on here, don’t look – it’s easy !

    Maybe I’m turning into a clapper but I enjoyed that game today. Pat Jones is some player. We did absolutely everything but score.
    They nearly mugged us at the end with that shot off the bar, and Evans volleyed a back pass at Jones for some insane reason !

    My guess is 3-0 Iron.
    They’ll hold out 0-0 into the second half but we’ll be too strong in the end.

    I don’t understand all the share/loan stuff enough to comment on how that all works.
    But while a level of scepticism is needed, it is a fact that Michelle and the other directors have stuck a good wedge of money into the club without which we would be talking Scunthorpe United 1899 to 2023. The supporters showed they would help at the time and attendances are higher than I ever thought we’d get in non league, we are hopefully all in it together.

    Wow. Saint Matt. Rose tinted glasses. I absolutely praise every individual who got involved raising over 70k. I also praise every volunteer who has spent countless hours week after week supporting the staff at the club . But lets not talk about that . Its about time the toxic element of the fans realise the club has changed for the better over the last 3 years .
    We are having a hugely successful period on the pitch and the board are doing a fantastic job behind the scenes

    I’d be interested to know who you think is the toxic element of the fans ?

    It’s nonsense but I’ve seen posts on X by Matt Ellis to the sufcofficial account calling certain players “shite” and saying “get them out of the club now”.
    Bigging up Iron Hour and the positivity fella are an easy way for Butler to hit back.

    Unfortunately, however much we might not have liked it, Swanns company was the legal owner of Glanford Park and anyone wanting it had to pay him money.
    Hilton didn’t pay and came up with all kinds of nonsense to justify himself. He didn’t just walk away either until £100k had been paid to him by Michelle Harness & co.
    As Cass says, Whitehall and Roberts accepted terms to stay and the other fantasy league signings went elsewhere.
    Not to mention the club are going to be out of pocket for honouring the 1500 club victims with season tickets and free entry to cup games etc.

    Didn’t he fail to pay Swann for the ground as agreed ?
    Didn’t he pull the plug and was prepared for the whole thing to collapse out of existence ?
    You see through a lot of stuff that happens and make so many good points but you’ve got a blind spot with Hilton that I don’t understand.
