Quoted from BIron
Feel like I can share an opinion from the enemy camp now the dust has settled.... What a tough week it has been,  that defeat really hurt. A derby day defeat always hurts no matter what the circumstances, however this one seemed to hurt the most. Through gritted teeth, you were deserved winners and you can enjoy getting some revenge over us.Most have you have being fair  but i have seen some idiots on social media who crawled under a rock when we won and now they are all out giving it large.  

I have seen a few comments aimed at the other Scunny fans who have gloated on here in the past at how they are hiding. I was happy to see none were aimed at myself, even in defeat i will always give my feedback - even if it means taking some days to let it sink in!

The gloating from your players was expected after what KVV did at your place. Found it strange from Vernam though, half of his family are Scunny supporters and i know his Uncle stands on the terraces.  Glennon seemed to go well over the top as well from the rest. He looked a typical jumped up Premier League youngster.  


We really didn't turn up. Only Gabriel could emerge with any credit playing for us. Although Sutton got sent off, he showed more passion than most on his brief time on the pitch.I feel he is average at best but he is Scunny through and through and should have started.

As soon as i saw Wilcox had set up with five at the back i feared the worst. On a tight, narrow pitch against your arch rivals i don't know what he was thinking.   Anyway, that's my rant over with. Although i felt you were very poor as well to be honest, I can only see you improving under Holloway in the summer.  

The future looks very dark for us. I'm sure a lot of you will take great satisfaction in that.

Well what can we say.....
we won..
3 points...
as plenty of neutral observers have said...we were better
as your manager has said...we were better
as Radio Humberside have said...we were better
as your own vlogger's have said...we were better
as our manager has said......................don't gloat...

so i won't...any further.

We weren't great, you were sh!t, not gloating...just a fact.

I wish so much you were heading to non league and oblivion...it wont happen...we are inevitably going to meet again next season...an entirely new proposition and who knows what will happen.
However for now....until then....i will sit back and happily reminisce about a disrupted season where we were the better team over two games and with the exception of one counter attack we were the pride of Humberside/Lincolnshire.

Sleep tight...don't have nightmares. x

I think Scunny brought us down to their level in the first half, which is to be expected in a local derby. The other three halves over the two games, we were clearly the better footballing side and i still can't believe we lost at BP, but hey ho! The record books will show one win apiece.

I think Scunny are in for a fallow period, while our stock is set to rise.

What happened in 1939? Nobody knew the war was going to last nearly 6 years. Players were largely amateur then but there must have been other costs. What happened to BP for 6 years? Did anyone maintain it?

Players weren't amateur in 1939. Especially in the First Division! A lot of wartime football was played, often with players guesting for teams. If you were a pro at the start of the war, chances are that you would continue to play for a team near where you were based in your military duties.

Hence Fred Trueman who was based at Hemswell turned out for Lincoln City so can only assume his footballing abilities were not comparable to his cricket skills.
