Off topic but curious. Are things really that bad after just 5 weeks?Does Beale have any redeeming features at all? If fans are really calling for his head so soon you can't help thinking that his coat is on a shaky nail! He has a lot of things going against him from the off: -Has an arrogant demeanour. -Doesn’t usually take responsibility for things going wrong. -Throws the young players under the bus when a mistake is made. -Very cautious tactically, not brave enough. -Is unpopular with fans at his last two clubs in QPR & Rangers. He is the replacement for a manager who may seem sour, but is someone who plays good football and is very good with young players - a very good fit for us. Beale just seems totally the opposite because he doesn’t seem to trust young players as much. When Mowbray went, I could see the thinking behind it if we went for a progressive highly rated (likely overseas) head coach, but Beale coming in just felt like a right piss take. It’ll be like you lot replacing Schumacher with Nigel Adkins. Where’s the logic in that? The fact that he said ‘sacked in the morning’ isn’t a fair chant towards our players just shows how bonkers he is. Clearly chanting towards him and he thinks it might be getting the players down. Majority of the players will likely want him gone too. 3-0 defeat for us against you lot I reckon. Edit: Redeeming features - cheap. A refreshingly honest post from a visitor. Your contributions are always welcome and interesting.😉

Who is selfishly hoping for a Cameroon loss this evening, KO 5pm?
A return of Junior will be a great bonus that we need, which then gives us the question what do we do with Hoever ? Bench/midfield ?

Just read (unconfirmed) that a LARGE contingent of Blues fans in Stafford and having a few beers! Looking forward to the game😄 Ditto 🤣 but can confirm, I've seen em In the coach & horses aswell which is predominantly a Stafford Stokies pub! Is there a Stafford Stokies pub.? I live in an Outlying Village BUT regard Stafford as my home town.

I had two very football savvy not Stoke supporting mates at the game today, not sitting with me. When we met post match they summed it up as; Stoke should have won 4_2, and Burger was outstanding. They didn't know his name but thought our right back had a poor game.

Somewhat ominous when the commentator says before the KO, "let's hope both teams finish with eleven men" !!
Guinea score as I type.

I thought I might watch Cameroon v Guinea but Junior is only on the bench, so may give it a miss ?😄

Surely not. I have no idea of the interactives of FFP and PL rules but a further Points reduction following their spirited recovery (so far) must surely be against all football fans sense of fair play and injustice, which could have major repercussions throughout the game.

I just wish the club and Chief Coach (as he is called nowadays) would put an end to these media reports I keep seeing saying we/they are prepared to accept offers for him.
We could not buy a player of his ability for the reported £2Mil, as they don't exist.⚓

I could not believe it took so long to make a clear and obvious decision and award the goal.
Then they Disallowed it!!!

Pundits. What a load of rubbish. Luton scored a good goal. What are players supposed to do? Move out of the goal keepers way?

Some geography must come into it. I know a few Derby fans in the Uttoxeter area who violently despise us whilst I am sure many Derbyfans living near Nottingham or Leicester for example probably never give us a second thought.

We're the middle We're the middle We're the middle of the Boothen End We all live in the back of Boothen End, Back of Boothen end .......... I am pretty sure I was there, in the Boothen, when that was first sung. It was at the height of Beatlemania and I had not missed a match for a long time when it started and immediately caught on. I recall as it spread eventually the entire end joined in and at the end the whole ground applauded. A very special memory. At the same time we had the well remembered Zigger Zagger 😀

Just had a look. Seems OK but another version of the Oatcake.
As long as it does not detract from or cause damage to this forum good luck to them.
Should I join what would I call myself?😬
EDIT. On further reflection I think I will not bother. Stay here better the Devil's you know.

Surprised to hear that we are prepared/would like to let Baker go. When on form he is more than good enough and was looking to be getting back to his form last time out.⚓

Sadly the modern technology of social media has bought about the demise of the local newspaper as we knew it. I recall when the only way of getting news about SCFC was the Sentinel and Letters to the Editor. Now we have the Oatcake and numerous other sources ⚓
