Just seen the highlights - that was some very poor goalkeeping.  If I was a Northampton fan I'd be fuming.  I'm happy for Bristol Rovers - good club, and they did what they had to do.... but that was pisspoor from Scunthorpe and that team they put out was a lack of respect for the other teams in that league.

One other thing though - just imagine if it was Town sticking 7 past Scunthorpe to get promoted and them relegated!!!  Bliss.


I was there when Town did put 7 past Scunny.

That keeper was bad!! After every goal he tried getting the ball to slow Bristol down but he couldn't even keep hold of the ball then

Me too.... although I only saw two of our goals

It was back in the day when you could get in for free at half time so that was when I went along with my dad for lots of games then....

I see Northampton have now raised an official complaint.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but apparently the only time Bristol Rovers were in an automatic promotion place this season, was on Saturday at about 4:45pm!

I’m actually sort of inclined to stick up for Scunny here. It’s not their job to worry about the integrity of the league or any of that stuff, it’s Keith Hill’s job to think about the future of their team. He’s put the young pros into the fire to see how they manage, and whilst he might have been underwhelmed, would his stellar first team have done any better? There are arguments to say no.

And anyway, the majority of that 1st team squad will be gone, he’s probably had those conversations already - he’ll have probably got more commitment from the young ‘uns on the day.

Their budget is probably going to be modest next season, and he knows those youngsters might be relied upon more in the conference than in the league if they’d stayed up.

Keegan didn't play in that game. The 7-1 game was in 1966, Keegan didn't make his Scunny debut until 1968.

Something very similar happened to us but the other way round and it was a Northampton goal that initially knocked us out of it (obviously Leyton Orient made it worse a minute later). Northampton celebrated massively and made sure we knew all about it on the day, so when I saw what happened to them on Saturday I took a moment to remember what they must be going through...

I don't think Northampton have a leg to stand on here, Scunny have been playing a weakend side since game one  

But in seriousness, they dumped the majority of their senior squad for a number of weeks now, with more and more under 18s getting more and more game time as Keith Hill prepares for a budgetless season next year


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara
