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.

You'll not get in mate. It's where Scunny fans drink, and it's tiny. Just go to Old Farmhouse right near the ground. Sheff United fans were in there on Saturday. OK cheers mate. football ground guide reckons they'll let away fans in, obviously needs updating. They do let them in. I'm just saying you probably won't get to the bar! Most fans just walk it, but a taxi should only be a few quid. You might get a nice police escort anyway. If you fancy the Honest Lawyer, it's about 2 minutes from the station. Turn left out of the station, then right at the lights. You'll see it on the right hand side of the high street. cheers. Might pop into the Honest Lawyer when we get there for one and then head off to the Old Farmhouse. You'll get no bother wherever you go to be honest. All the scunny "hard men" are actually 13, so don't get into pubs.

Just seen that O'Connor is missing tonight, which is a massive blow for Scunny. I'll change to a Newcastle win now

What's your prediction Gol? In the unique position on this board of knowing about both teams. I watched both teams at the weekend, and if Newcastle play like they did in the first half, Scunthorpe will win. Scunthorpe always conceed goals from crosses, so depends if Taylor is playing at right wing or right back. Before the weekend I had this down as 1-2, but I honestly think Scunny will nick it by bossing the midfield.

Last time Carroll played at Glanford Park he was sent off. He was shocking before he got sent off anyway, so it didn't make much difference.

How is R.Jones playing for Scunny? He had a really good season at Hibs last year. Useless for the first few games. Came out and said that he was struggling to adapt to the pace of the Championship compared to the SPL. Then he headbutted a post, missed a game or two, and he's been rock solid since. Man of the match yesterday; won absolutely everything in the air. As I said, he really does get turned too easily. Luckily Mirfin has the "Carvalho" talent of making last ditch tackles.

Scunny's centre backs get turned far far too easily. The best way to play against them is a nippy forward playing right on their shoulder. As for the earlier question; Sharp and Keogh never played together at Championship level, so it's hard to compare. Hayes and Hooper are a top partnership, but not that great without the other. Scunny have no depth whatsoever, so if either Hayes or Hooper miss the game, Newcastle's defence won't have a great deal to worry about (Forte is RUBBISH). I'm kinda hoping Butt plays, as I'll be pretty much at pitch side (by the way, if you haven't been to Glanford Park before, the fans are VERY close to the pitch) and I wanted to have a quiet word with him

To be fair, last time Scunny were in the Championship, most games were sellouts. They (we ) were a league two club a few years back. Are you a Scunthorpe fan? Yep. What brought you here? Seems random. Originally? Been a fan since 1982. Something to do with a certain Kevin Keegan. I follow Scunthorpe because they're my home team, and I've never really (until now!) seen a problem with supporting the two teams.
