Scunny sack manager.

Oh c'mon, they're our nearest geographical rivals so of course there is going to be a heightened level of interest in them, same as Lincoln and to a lesser extent Hull.

This isn't bringing out the worst in people, it's about friendly rivalries within the game.  I work with and am friends with Scunthorpe fans, having that momentary crowing over them is glorious.  Just like they loved it when they were lording it over us.  

I'm delighted they didn't go under, I hope their new owners go onto build a sustainable football club at the heart of the community.  But it doesn't mean I can't have a wry smile every time they lose and deep down want them to miss out on promotion, suffer relegation the next season and eventually find themselves in a league where evening games have to be floodlit by the headlights of players cars.  I'm absolutely certain that the vast majority of their fans feel exactly the same way about us.

It would be bloody boring if our only interest in football was the Town result every Saturday.

I’m in between - not quite as harsh as you there, but now the club is saved they need some prolonged suffering at their current level before they come back. As I said above the
main thing is we get a league derby with Lincoln before Scunthorpe and, dare I say it, Tahgers…

I would allow Scunny an FA Cup First Round derby with us (after they've played 17 qualifiers, of course).

In a couple of season yes. Before that I’d like them to play Brigg Town in a qualifying round and at least be taken to a replay…

Quoted from Croxton

The Fishy's obsession with Scunny never ceases to amaze. Further confirmation that social media brings out the worst in most of us.

I hope they hit a run of form and get promoted. My family history shows that our DNA is liberally spread across Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Lincoln catchments. Much better to have a few derbies to chat about.

I wanted Scunny to be woeful long before social media existed.

Any truth in this yet?

It’s far too early to sack him they need to wait for Paul hurst to become a free agent so he can complete the circle ( think he may have to skip Ipswich )

There is no truth whatsoever in the rumour that Sam Allardyce is to take over until Scunthorpe get promoted. When asked for his comments he said  " I am now 69 and if I live to be 100 I don't expect to live the last 31 years of my life at a fcking village in Wales that no one has heard of.

Rumours about Brian Laws going there to help out now Swann has no interest in the club.

Jimmy’ll fix it
