Quoted from Hagrid
Surprised Mcmahon didnt walk off. Ridiculous question from the reporter


Rude and unprofessional yes; ridiculous no. A defeat by a two-goal margin today will send them bottom, something we never even flirted even in our darkest days with the likes of Stephen Watt, Lee Ridley and Serge Makofo stealing their wages.

Hill and McMahon have a win ratio of 7.89% and a defeat ratio of almost 70% over just shy of 40 games. That is spectacularly bad regardless of context and must be one of the worst records on professional record in this country over such a period.

They only reason they haven’t been sacked is because Swann is asleep at the wheel, snoozing happily as they veer off all the way down in to the NLN abyss.

I'm pretty sure we were bottom after 2 games in the 11/12 season after losing 2-0 to Fleetwood and then 5-0 to Braintree. We only won once in our first six games too which is almost identical to Scunny's start.

So they haven't quite exceeded our worst failings yet, but they're close.

EDIT: We weren't bottom thanks to Darlington's 10 point deduction at the start of the season. ,

Respectfully disagree [url] https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/ridiculous[/url]  ridiculous: stupid or unreasonable and deserving to be laughed at
Given the context, I think the interviewer should know that it was ridiculous to ask this question because he was only going to irritate and insult the interviewee. Why would a professional do that? Only if they were unprofessional. Which is absurd, stupid and unreasonable.

As unsettling as that Braintree defeat was, our squad at the time consisted of McKeown, Pearson, Disley and Hearn amongst other half decent players like Michael Coulson. Regardless of our record after two games, we were never in any danger of going down.

A defeat for Scunny today and they could be bottom of the league having lost 5 on the bounce and without anything near like that quality in their squad. That’s far more indicative of a side capable of going down in my opinion.

This is my view, whilst it was horrific at the time, we did have the makings of a good side and did have some good times that season. Scunny, sadly, do not…
