STFC v Barrow Matchday Thread

[Frigby Daser]

I think there are investors and interested parties out there but they won’t get involved with the current shady hangers on here and who can blame them?

Clearly no sane person would “invest” if Morfuni / Standing / Austin / Keily remain the club. That doesn’t completely preclude a 100% sale. It simply means someone has to take a gamble and buy the club despite the uncertain state of the accounts.

Even if Clem did sell up how long would it take to go through🤔

[Lemis]

Haven't read back yet, absolutely pitiful performance, hostility to the regime quite vocal in the stands, season feels like it's falling apart yet somehow only 2 points off the playoffs

I don’t see how getting rid of Flynn improves anything. People are just lashing out wildly.

In all the wrong places.

I saw a tweet recently something like “every day I log into this app hoping for a shred of rumour that we’re being sold” and whilst funny, that’s exactly where I am as well.

Exactly where I'm at, there is nothing left to be positive about.

Don't forget Adam Hart.

I wonder who else names we've not even heard of are involved. I wonder if Daniel Kinnahan is making a drink off us, Hart did have his boxer in a STFC/MTK Global coat.

Cocaine industry is thriving off us I'm sure.

It's not just that (it would clearly need to be a 100% buyout for any interested party to clear the decks of the people who have been hanging around the past 10 years), but it's also the fact we have at least three EFL/FA potential punishments to consider.  Someone buying us takes on a lot of risk on that side, even if the balance sheet looks a bit better these days, thanks to Eady.

Is that fans fighting down the bottom of the DRS

Yes, some massive lump and his dad were stood on the steps above the bottom rows shouting loads of abuse, some old chap seemed to get up and tell him to stop due to all the young kids, then some bloke in a maroon hoody on the front row starting shouting back as he was with his kid. Think the big lump offered him out and he accepted so jumped the concrete and charged up the stairs. The steward was only small and was in between them but he wasn't gonna be able to stop anything.

At this point me and my dad up in row N ran down and got between them, steward held off the bloke in a maroon jumper and me and dad had to drag the big lump and his dad away down the stairs into the concourse. The lump was in an absolute rage and wouldn't listen when I told him about kids being around, luckily he didn't direct that rage at us and just walked away.

Hardly surprising things are getting to this stage. Its going to keep getting more toxic until these lot fuck off. People are going to see red like that on a regular basis. I'm coming more from a place of apathy at the moment.

Who was his initial abuse directed at?

Where to start...

Walking across the Magic Roundabout, the absolute embarrassing shitshow that is our 'next fixture' signage caught my eye. It has been posted elsewhere on Twitter. BARROW appeared to have been written coloured in with a black Sharpie. This is the first impression that our club gives fans/potential fans approaching the ground. And we are run by people with a background in infrastructure. It is a fucking shambles, yet perfectly sums this regime up. If they can't manage that (...they can't), involving the procurement of some basic lettering I'd imagine on the internet for sub £100, anyone who thinks they are capable of rebuilding the stadium is clearly sniffing glue.

As for the match, I simply can't remember a worse performance in nearly 30 years. We did nothing. We achieved nothing. There wasn't a good pass, a good tackle, a shot of note. Absolutely zip. It was astonishing. The complete lack of desire, professionalism, self respect even from the players was breath taking. Players were bottling tackles. Khan absolutely did down by our dugout in the second half. Thinking of his medical at Wrexham no doubt. The amount of hit and hope, slashed clearances/passes to no one... Did we win a single header? The corners (all short I think...) were dreadful. McEachran might have been the worst. We had one moment where the ball was wide left in the first half and they looked vaguely out of shape. What we needed was a lung bursting midfield run into the box. Instead he ambled forward at quarter speed looking like he was jogging on a Park Run. Kinsella might have scraped a 3/10 in a sea of 1/10s for a couple of blocks. 'Man of the Match'.

Flynn's postmatch was similarly pathetic. We put eleven players on the pitch and they were a disgrace. And yet Flynn just passed the buck, immediately citing injuries. What on earth is going on at Beversbrook defensively? If Hatswell is coaching that he needs sacking. As Phil Smith, who was rather good on post match comms, said, there was a complete lack of desire to stop their goals. That requires zero skill or ability. Shameful stuff.
Flynn also seemed to heap the pressure on Morfuni's return. Interesting tactic.
The fact is, some managers thrive in these situations, pulling together results against the odds, engendering an 'us against the world team spirit'. Flynn is doing none of these things. He's chippy, evasive, weak and passing the buck, and his team is a mirror image of exactly that attitude.

The odd thing is, I actually had a lovely day with family in the company of people I have sat around for years. And on that basis, I'll likely renew. It is just part of my life. But I will not put another penny piece into the club outside that. Not a pencil in the club shop, not a packet of crisps on the concourse, not a drop of drink in the Winners. We need these charlatans drummed out. Now.

It was after the goal when it was quiet, pretty sure it was just directed at the players/directors box. The bloke was really animated and using the C word a lot.

[BoA Vagabond]

Well that was fun and well worth the effort.
Mainly the fellow sufferers around me were not bothering next season. Some had no idea what has been going on. They got lots of info from many.  One, made some sort of defence of the current regime. To be fair, they have been through thick and thin so have experienced lots watching our beloved team. Maybe they are more aware of the reality we find ourselves in? No idea.

Freeloading bastards, we know who we are...

[Mexicano Rojo]

Good to see cunts are seeing the Clem word as proper offensive

Read this and remembered that I used to discuss the football......

Not quite correct I saw the whole thing happen. “ lump” was giving it to the players and Steve Myton saying he’s complicit in all of this. After the abuse Myton put the middle finger up to them. Maroon hoody came running up the stairs and threatened to kill the lump. Lump went on to say go on then kill me and hit him but Maroon did nothing after squaring up and hid behind steward. Lump then left after old boy “guided” him out. Not a single punch thrown. Just irate fans fed up of the scum owners. Happy to be corrected if any of this is wrong.
