Thanks

I kinda find these threads a bit strange. RIP and all that, but I can't even find a thread in Gen Chat about this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8351737.stm

Depends how much Villa paid for Delph. £6m I heard.

Torres also dives. Example please. Weird that diving is brought up yet no one mentions Rooney, he's just as bad as Drogba ffs. v Man United? (it's on youtube, as well as lots of other dives of his).

Agreed. The crowd was very influential and the ref wasn't strong enough. Not only did he let them get away with some bad challenges, but every time one of their players fell over in our half of the field they got a free kick. He was a typical homer. Ironic that our goal came after one of our few fouls that he missed. At the beginning of the season there were quite a few favourable comments about the relaxed standard of refereeing in this division which I had my doubts about at the time and this has just been confirmed in recent matches. Chris Morgan and his ugly friend's "marking" was bordering on cheating yesterday. Served them right that our goal came from an illegal challenge by Nolan. The refs are fucking hopeless imo. Was it an illegal challenge? Looked pretty good to me.

Difficult question. I'll say Van Persie

Bar Newcastle United, who is your favourite team? Scunthorpe United Which team do you hate the most? Liverpool Who is your favourite player? Lampard Which player do you have the most hatred for? Gerrard

Don't you understand that nobody has said it wasn't a disaster? Keegan should have been backed and allowed to manage the team. He wasn't and that's why we are as s**** as we are now. Now can you work out for yourself why it went wrong? Huh? You seemed to be saying it wasn't an ill thought out decision. I just took that to mean you thought it was a good idea... sorry if not. I'm fully aware why it went wrong, that's why I'm saying it was a mistake. The funny thing was, they had the ideal man to work with on a tight budget and they sacked him. He would have made the process of getting into the Championship a lot quicker anyway.

Guthrie Premiership quality as in he could probably get in the Hull team? He's been awful this season, yet people don't seem to care.

Deluded. We have some players who are a bit better. Most of them were not playing against Scunthorpe and we all know the squad is thin. Still got more players than Scunthorpe

Kinda like saying "we know we're shit, so deal with it". The results at the start of the season have glossed over the fact that the football is still shocking, and won't get better under Hughton (imo). Nothing wrong with expressing that opinion is there?

So the 7 day rule doesn't apply for the Championship? Can't say I mind, never saw the reason behind it. I'm pretty sure that card was his 6th, and that the 5th ban had already been applied after the weekend. It does take into account the 7-day rule or whatever, hence he was going to be missing Doncaster anyway. O'Connor missed last night's game for Scunthorpe because he picked up his 5th booking at the weekend. The 7 day rule doesn't exist now.

Williams (the left back) is constantly watched by Premiership scouts. If he stopped partying so much he might get somewhere.

Did you know that the entire population of Scunthorpe could be seated in St James Park? And Dave, no I haven't asked them all, but you know full well what I mean.

Who reacted? The chavs in the corner? Nobody in the home end heard it....

Carroll shouldn't even be on the bench.

Regardless, there weren't really that many chances. Awful first half, not much better the second.

To be fair, Newcastle didn't actually have many chances at all. Murphy made TWO saves. According to the Beeb we had 20 shots, 11 of which were on target. Which were probably blocked near the edge of the area. I very much doubt that stat is correct. I remember Carroll having a couple of shots which went miles wide (he's shit by the way, worse than when he went to Preston) and Nolan had a header fantastically saved early on. Can't remember many other decent chances.

Rubbish tonight.

I really don't know what to say, other than I predicted this. It's not really gonna help when I say that that's probably the worst Scunthorpe have played this season (bar Sheff Weds and Cardiff!) and the best player was missing. I think I'll avoid this thread now, and concentrate on the "sale" thread.

what a shit match.

First post of this page I meant someone worth meeting

Who off the forum is going? Might see if I can introduce myself....

No it won't. The record attendance was before the seats were put in the away end.
