I'd forgotton this lot, who gloried in kicking us while we were down, dropped into the Conference. Here's hoping they disappear from view. I'd be lieing if I said Scunthorpe had ever registered with me in a "rivalry" sort of way, other than having that 6 pointer at Christmas when James Henry scored the winner. So what did they do/say?

Thanks for digging that out, quite an interesting read. I'm still struggling to dislike Scunthorpe, whatever their chairman said, as you say he did have a point! Anyone that had a row with Anderson can't be all bad. And as we know to our cost, what the temporary custodians of a football club say has no bearing on what the fans are like. I sympathise with Scunthorpe fans losing their FL status with no realistic chance of getting back up any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their last game at Old Show Ground was in the play offs in May 1988 v Torquay, they lost the 2 leg tie. If Savaaaaggggge!!! hadn't scored at Wrexham I think that would have made us their last opponents but we avoided that. (Torquay lost to Swansea over 2 legs in the final FWIW, no glamorous Wembley final in them days). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 Tony Mowbray getting the Sunderland job. They've cornered the market in dour, unsmiling managers after Jack Ross and Alex Neil. Mowbray did a good job at Blackburn but I can imagine Sunderland fans being underwhelmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Cherry Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I like Mowbray deserved better than some of those deluded chicken pluckers who thought they should be getting promoted. He did a great job especially getting them near promotion with loan signings and young lads. Think he will be ok at Sunderland but their lot are the definition of deluded.
