in some respects I hope the new dons win. Another win will help justify gunning 's appointment at the end of the season.

I think with staying up, it's a done deal.  If James Shan can stick around, I think they will get a tune out of the players.

I think you're missing that Shan hasn't, as as we know, been to Clem's house.

Big test this. They bullied and bossed us physically at their place.

I'm not sure one physical player is enough. But I was sure we'd lose at Barrow. So what do I know.

Pressure is all on Wimbledon

They will have to come at us and we might play better?

Anyway, pressure is on them for sure.

I never hope we loose - don’t care who the manager is if we’re winning.

Weird.

As soon as I read the name Paul Nicholls I was like ‘he was on the books at Chelsea as a youth player right? Maybe similar time or a bit after Jody Morris’

I remember him as a midfielder with floppy blonde curtains (a mid 90s staple) so imagine my surprise when I googled him and found out he was a keeper.

Some google trawling later and I was remembering Mark Nicholls who as it happens I think looks a lot like Paul Nicholls the actor !!! Or certainly did on the mid 90s

As you were…

Paul Nicholls Elite Management.

Paul Nicholls Elite Management.

We do need to be run by someone who knows football for sure, been in th egame for a while and knows what is needed.

Not entirely sure how much input Jamie Russell had on our new signings as I heard a lot of them were sourced by Paul Nicholls.

Its a results business, if Gunning carries on getting results then he will be appointed whether any of us like him or want him. I am no different, if he wins games then I am fine with his appointment however short term.

But if he doesnt get results and we look utterly disjointed in games as we have so often then he must not be appointed manager. Simple.

If we win the rest of our games then hes probably done enough to be considered an option, he wouldnt be my option but he would have deserved it, hes young and still learning. But the game vs Sutton was utterly attrocious in terms of performance, style and tactics, thats hard to forget but 4 wins in a row will soften that a little.

As it stands hes won 4 games, drawn 4 and lost 6 games since being appointed interim manager, thats nowhere near good enough for me with a win rate of just 26%.

If we can win our last 4 (which I cant see) then he will have won 8, drawn 4 and lost 6 which is much better 44% win rate, but it will show that Gunning is learning from his mistakes, of which there have been many.

Personally I do not want another season of Gunning in charge, but if he gets results then who am I to argue.

Its a results business, if Gunning carries on getting results then he will be appointed whether any of us like him or want him.

I refute "carries on".
 
I think he's in as soon as he gets his badges whatever. Will Shan also come too?

Thank the lord

Must be the first time Gunning has started with the same team in 2 games.

Now the question is can he make the same team perform to the same level 2 games in a row…

We will see but I am not sure.

Aguiar on the bench but not McGurk now.

Is he keeping McGurk out of the spotlight deliberately so it won't be "tough to keep him"?!

We look like a team who know they're safe at the moment.

Been looking at Rightmove and Strava.

Boring or what?

McCarthy celebrates drawing praise from Phil Smith with an almighty rick.

We’ve played worse. We’ve played better.

We’ve looked ok with the ball at best & panicked in defence - the usual really…

Wasn’t one of Jason Lanes protest staying in the concourse from 45-50 minutes?

Would have missed the bloody goal!

Someone saying one of the things ZA said was there’s a new manager lined up who is proven at this level. If that’s real then would suggest there is legs in this Adam’s link….

Didnt the protest get called off after he met Zav Austin earlier?

It's Michael Flynn, avoiding paying his redundancy by rehiring him, Kingy style.

Derek Adam’s managerial career looks very decent up to 2021 and is absolutely atrocious post 2021

Definately this, wierd person to be linked otherwise. Hes very vocal and likes full control of team matters at clubs.

I'd rather have Gav. Honestly

Its a bit like - do you prefer syphilis or gonorrhea.

This is entertaining.

Would be nice to see McKirdy for Glatzel I think

Shows how little I know!

Well,to be honest I always thought there was a decent player in Devoy.

Did we score in the minute of the sarcastic applause btw?

I have to admit I havent seen much but he has taken both his goals for us very well but I dont think he contributes as much as he should, but that can be levelled at all our midfielders this season.

Brewitt on for Ofoborh.

Hawes just mentioned that Derek Adams may be in the ground.

Definitely the Arkells

We are fucking RAMPANT!!!!🙂

Do you want to change that to ‘PANTS’?

He only had the ball in his hands for about 5 seconds - harsh

3rd warning for it tho from the ref.

I see Wrexham have gone up. Thats less fawning over them next season

I hate to say it but maybe the rising tide has started to rise again

Not sure why anyone would want Cheltenham in our division again.
Talk about bogey side.

No Gunning so far

No Gunning so far

I see Jason Lane said a lot of people walked away when Zav turned up hence the protest being stopped. Said he will reveal all tomorrow apparently.

Bloody hell

Got stroppy and spikey when Flynn was appointed last season rather than him didn’t he? Seem to remember an awful interview after the Barrow match.

It would be fair to say that nobody is coming out particularly well from that Twitter exchange, not least Jason who appears to be absolutely milking his five minutes.

Not convinced that's a camera. Think it's a censor.

If it's a camera that's surely a police matter

It’s a camera. However there is also one in the home section that looks into the blokes!

How many was there before the 5 that were left? Are people really that scared of Zav? Not the most imposing bloke. If Adam Hart came out then a different matter.

Suppose if you value your knee caps.

Then why are they there

Then why are they there

Lots of pubs have cameras in the bogs to monitor dodgy goings on. Have a look  above a urinal in one of those big alehouses.  I don't think that they capture images of withered genitals though .

[/FOI release
Use of CCTV cameras in toilets
Published 16 August 2022
1. Request
I recently completed my CCTV course and I was informed CCTV cameras are not allowed to be used in toilets. Yet on two occasions when I have done events, cameras were in place in male, female, and gender neutral toliets. Could you please clarify the law on this.

2. Response
The SIA holds information that may be of assistance.

The SIA does not regulate the installation or positioning of CCTV cameras but holds information that may be of assistance. There is no specific legislation that references the use of cameras in toilets.

The Information Commissioners Office have produced a blog on what needs to be considered prior to installing CCTV which considers the issue from a privacy and data protection perspective. The Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commission have produced a Surveillance Camera Code of Practice which operators and users of surveillance cameras are encouraged to adopt voluntarily.

The Knowledge and Skills Specification for Public Space Surveillance published by the SIA is a document which is intended to provide a clear specification on the approach that has been agreed by the SIA and key stakeholders in relation to the core learning and resulting qualifications required by SIA licensing.

Objective 1 of session 2 (‘Legislation’) states that care must be taken that the use of such must be proportionate, limited, specific, adequate, and relevant, in line with regarding Data Protection Act. Objective 6 states that consideration also needs to be given to potential acts of voyeurism.

I have taken an extract from the indicative content below, that goes into this in more detail about this.

2.1 Session 2: Legislation
Aim: To understand the different types of legislation and how they impact on Public Space Surveillance (CCTV) operations.

Objective 1: Identify how the Data Protection Act impacts on to the role of a CCTV Operator.
The meaning of “confidentiality” as it applies to the role of a CCTV operator:

compliance with 6 principles of the Data Protection Act
not disclosing information to any unauthorised persons relating to all operational aspects of the system and data security
no unauthorised recording e.g., using mobile phones or similar devices
no unauthorised copying of footage
body worn cameras
UAVs (drones)
Repercussions of breaches, for example:

dismissed, fines and potential prosecution
Objective 6: Identify how the offence of voyeurism impacts on public space surveillance (CCTV) operations
Safeguarding requirements:

safeguarding children and young people, and others including voyeurism, limits what you can view and record
what considerations to take before viewing CCTV material
voyeurism falls under the Sexual Offences Act 2003

They’d never get their own hands dirty I suppose. I know a few people who won’t speak out

Dokes had the ball in his hands for 6 seconds before getting a second yellow. Seems...pretty bloody keen from the ref

Admittedly he was still admiring the ball and didn't reaaaally look like he was going to throw it any time soon, but still...

Follow this thread - this is allegedly what happened

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if he is the real majority owner. He obviously wouldn't be allowed to be because of his conviction, so he needs a puppet like Clem.

Does a trust hero award make him a fit and proper person?

Taking the protest out of the equation it comes back to why is Zav Austin the one fronting up to fans?! We repeatedly get told by the band if liars that he’s just a match day guest yet he here he is again being the public face of the club.

They all just treat us like idiots, he’s clearly a pseudo Director and I’d hazard a guess that he’s a pseudo co-owner as well. The authorities are really starting to look into shadow directors so it’s only a matter of time before this gets even messier.

If not Zav then who? That's fundamentally the problem with the stripped down club behind the scenes. While Clem is out of the country. Antony Hall, is not a leader in the slightest and wouldn't even think about. There is nobody else right?

I'm not excusing Zav here. He has a history that disqualifies him, that can't be denied. I have heard one or two positive things from people behind the scenes about him.

The rumour that is hard to shake is that Austin is Standings man, which is why he was there with Power and still is now. Until the club is sold and standing gets his money then Zav will be there.

I don’t know, but what duties and/or obligations does a bona fide director have than somebody who does the same things without the official title of being a director.

But the point is they keep repeatedly telling us he’s a match day guest. If they are going to lie and say he’s nothing more than that how can you let him represent the club. It’s yet another example of them saying one of thing and then doing something completely different. They can’t lie consistently….

The issue is if the EFL take note and prove he's acting as if a director. Then we are in shit

Ok that's not the only issue with a convicted money launderer acting shifty around the club...

Almost impossible to prove if he's not officially on the books

Allegedly at the Bradford game (not sure if home or away) he turned up and said he was a director. Probably more ego/stupidity than anything else.

Why didnt Hall speak to the protestors anyway.

He is the CEO

Second in command after the fearless leader
