Scunthorpe (A) Match Thread

did realise there were any games tonight.

[SLAMMED]

English fail.

[glass half full]

I probably shouldn't be, but I'm gutted by that result.

Don't be gutted. Just give credit to Scunthorpe for their hard work and a creditable home record.

[glass half full]

Now Dellor can't remember Reading throwing a 2-0 lead away under Mcdermott. How about Aston Villa Timbo.

Dellor needs to wake up and give full credit to Scunny for their recovery. If it had been the other way round, he would have been shouting from the rooftops.

[URZZZZZZZZ]

Another upside is that the players will be desperate to smash Scunny next season. Really ought to have got 6 points off them this season, not just 2!

Yeah credit to all 12 men playing for Scunthorpe tonight.

A bit disappointing, but we have "got out of jail" late on in games a few times this past few months. All in all the way the season was going it could have been us jumping up and down at getting a point to stay up !

Credit to Scunny for fighting for their lives tonight, and thanks to BMcD and the team for making this seem like a bad result.

[glass half full]

Wicked deflection for Scunthorpe's second goal.

[Messiah]

Good point at a difficult place to go and play, and they had something to play for, we didn't. I like Scunny, happy with this result.

I want Palace to drop.

[FiNeRaIn]

Those are the sought of games we have to win next season if we are harboring any sort of ambitions for promotion, simple.

Bad result after leading 2-0, but completely irrelevant game as the playoff bid ended long ago. Not really arsed with it. Credit to scunthorpe for survival though. Don't mind them as a club.

At Tibshelf services on the way home from that farce of a game.

That was easily the single most inept and disgraceful refereing display I have witnessed in a very long time. That guy shouldn't be allowed to ref a Sunday morning park game.

As for people thinking Scunthorpe were heroic - you are having a laugh! They are just a bunch of cloggers who, had there been a proper ref out there tonight, would have had at least 2 red cards.

Fair play to our guys for refusing to retaliate.

Unfortunately, "inept and disgraceful" refereeing performance seem to be the standard in the Football League .

Referee ruins football game shocker.

Neanderthal football fans continue to pay lots of money to watch matches that are regularly ruined by referees and don't demand better technology/ system of officiating shocker.

[sandman]

The Neanderthals are the people sitting in Switzerland turning down technology in favour of ideas like adding yet more inept Refs to officiate matches.

[Forest Gump]

You have to give credit to Scunny for their achievement. Tonight they battered us quite literally at times and it's no surprise that they do well at home. Gieven the ridiculously small ground and the attendances that follow it makes Nigel Adkins achievement even more remarkable.

The game itself was a classic lower league bruising encounter and Readings clearly superior skills almost got the reward we would argue it deserved. However when you have to enure a referee that does not give any protection to the footballers on view the cloggers arer going to take advantage.

While you can understand their passion some of the challenges were totally unnaceptable. Had the away team been guilty of some of the stuff that Scunthorpe were guilt of we would have been down to 9 or 10 men for certain.

I hope that RFC realise that they must hang on to there skillful players because without them this could become the standard for all matches.

I hope that the players respond in the next two games with a performance to send us away hopeful for next season.
