It’s been a while since I updated you on Scunthorpe United.
Did you know they got promoted?
Well, they did. Now they’re in the Championship, which is the old Second Division. So there!
They reside in the same territory as West Brom, Watford Elton John, and Wolves. Astounding. Did we ever think we’d see [...]

Did anyone watch that tonight?
Hmm?
Did you see it? Did you see that? Did you watch that piece of shit?
Well, punk? Did ya?
Was that, or was it not, the final proof that we should give up following a ridiculous game we’re no good at?
Oh wait. Shit. I forgot we’re no good at rugby either. I forgot [...]

It’s official. As of yesterday, not only are Scunthorpe going to be promoted to the Championship, but they go up as winners of League One.
What do you make of that? The Wrinklies are in confusion, as I am myself, and though we’re all agreed that while it will be great to see Scunthorpe [...]

Today is a big one for the Iron. If they beat Huddersfield this afternoon, Scunthorpe United are guaranteed promotion to the Championship. Next season, if all goes well, they’ll be up against the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich, QPR and Crystal Palace.
Scunthorpe!!
What??
It’s fifteen minutes to kick-off, so I’m just going away now to [...]

Munster play Llanelli tomorrow evening in the quarter final of the European Rugby Cup.
We’re going by road, which means that Bullet and myself have to get up at four in the morning to catch the Rosslare ferry. Christ Almighty.
The game is at 7.30 tomorrow evening and on Saturday we’re going to watch Sunderland [...]

The Scunts are now top of the table.
After the weekend’s results, Scunthorpe United are now on 49 points and Oldham are just behind them on 48, but with a much better goal difference. Forest are also on 48. It looks like the game between Scunthorpe and Oldham on the 13th January will be [...]

Now, fair play to the Scunts for making a liar out of me. Last week I was taking the piss out of them for their disgraceful defeat at the hands of Blackpool but then, on Friday, they travelled to London and beat Millwall 1-0 with a late goal from Torpey. Helped by [...]

After the rest of the matches in the round, Scunthorpe have settled down at 18th place, which is a lot better than the useless fuckers deserve. No doubt either Wrinkly Joe or Wrinkly Paddy will be in contact soon proposing a trip to England in support of the Scunts. I’m not sure about [...]

I think Scunthorpe are safe. Yes, I also know this is probably the kiss of death for them, but still. Wrinkly Joe did all the analysis on this a while back and decided they’d need 54 points to avoid relegation. Thanks Joe. He’s an IT professional (an oxymoron to go with Garda Intelligence and the [...]
