Joe Bunney on trial there.
As barrel scrapings go ...


Be a bit of desperation if they sign him. He hadn't played hardly any football for a couple of years before he signed for us and had just got back into it with Hartlepool after a long layoff with injury and it doesn't look like he's played all that much last season either. As far as I can tell he hasn't kicked a ball since December.

Are you sure it's not Boro Under 10s beating the Scunts?


To be fair they made a bit of a comeback 3-2 in the next half, still lost though 😉

I actually feel sorry for the genuine Scunny fans, they’ve had a few years of punching well above their weight but the aftermath could well be oblivion.  For fans who turn out no matter what that’s a crying shame.  At least they used to ‘turn up’ at Blundell Park unlike the gimps.

Okay, that’s my empathy tank well and truly empty, fùck em.

I'd laugh my mammaries off if those 'yoofs' who damaged the training pitch turned out to be fans of another team, Lincoln, Town or even Gainsborough lol


The ‘youths’ who are damaging it are probably just their current team attempting shooting practice what with their ages and ability!

Wouldn't call it desperation. He's had a rough time lately, but is 28 and played a good portion of his career in League 1. If he can get his fitness and form back, he'll be a decent signing.

Yeah but in a desperately poor Town team he stood out as worse than most, although that may have been due to health issues if I remember rightly, so having thought about it maybe you are right.

I'm just saying that with regular football, he may get his form back and that form saw him play at a higher level for many seasons. He may not of course, but we have taken a punt on players in the past and had good outcomes from some.

PH thought he was good enough to give a chance to, but as you say, his health issues put paid to his time here.

Wouldn't surprise me if PH was asked about him by Hill and gave him a good report.

You can debate the pros and cons of signing Bunney all you like but the reality is Scunny have signed one player so far this window and now have a lad on trial who has barely played for 18 months and was outstandingly poor in an absolutely abominably poor team 18 months ago. We know how competitive and hard to beat some of those lower level NL teams are, let alone the Wrexhams and Solihulls of this the world. I’d be surprised if they made the top half, and certainly wouldn’t be shocked if they went straight through.

On another note, I read today Lincoln are in bother, owners are making all the signings, and isn’t a happy camp at all, have pulled the funding owing to losses of £4m last financial year. Could we swap places with them? I think so.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

You read that on Twitter, I wouldn’t take it as gospel. I hardly feel that their chairman will have gone from working miracles to suddenly dictating which players are signed.

Having said that, they’ve lost some of their better players and the players they’ve signed aren’t exactly world beaters. Coupled with a bizarre managerial choice after being turned down by their first choice and I wouldn’t be too surprised to see them in a relegation battle.
