20Questions - Scunthorpe United

Last updated : 17 August 2006 By Bigrich.....
Hello there, Who are yer and how long have you supported Scunthorpe?

the_ref, 40 odd years

What made you support your club?
My dad. I blame the parents.

Any Famous Fans?
Not of me! Ian Botham has a vague idea where we play, as does Kevin Keegan. Graham Taylor says he always looks for our results first, although he thought Ormondroyd was a good player. Not very inspiring is it?

Whats your favorite away ground and why?
The Old Showground, the old Spotland, the old Millmoor, you get the idea.

Whats your proudest moment being a Scunny Fan?
Having Radio Humberside cut their live broadcast from Manchester City......."some idiots there".......I am unable to let you publish the remarks.

And your most embarassing / disappointing?
Losing to Blackpool at Wembley in '92 was the most disappointing. Losing to Blackpool 5-2 on Sky last season the most embarrassing.

Its a bit of a derby, you bringing many??
I doubt we'll bring more than a thousand. The way prices are these days and the poor start and very obvious lack of ambition from the club should see to that.

Apart from Donny, any team you really dont like?
Grimsby. We don't really have much of an antagonistic feeling towards the newly designated "sleeping giants" of Donny. Hull City are an old enemy but they are out of our league now, in more ways than one.

If Scunny was a Song, what would it be, and why?
Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

So hows your squad shaping up after the summer break, many coming and going?
Nine out, three in. Obviously Laws does not have degree in maths as he thinks the squad is the same size.

Whos your all time favorite Iron player, and why?
Andy Keogh. He has only been here a year but I have yet to see him have a poor game. He is far too good for this division and I expect him to be sold in January. I also expect him to have a stinker on Saturday.

You've yet to win (hope that's the same at 5pm on Saturday) Hows the team playing at the moment?
The Laws version says we are unlucky and poor referees zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... excuse me..... we are not strong enough in midfield or defence, so Laws blames the attack.

Realistic hopes for the season?
Hopefully mid-table, realistically hovering above you lot in the relegation pile-up.

Who's your strongest / Weakest link?
Andy Keogh is the strongest link. Steve Torpey is the weakest link - alleged target-man who can neither head the ball or hold it up, he has been sent off eight times in five years, his every appearance is grumbled at by an increasing number of fans and he is Laws' favourite.

Predicted Score?
0 - 0 written all over it. Or 2 - 0 to us. Or you.

 

EITHER OR??
Football or the Wife? Saturday or Sunday?

Beagrie - Legend or Prick? Scunthorpe or Grimsby?

Sharp or Keogh? Goalscorer or lynchpin?

Donny or Grimsby? Beer or holiday?

Meat & Tatty or Steak n Kidney? Lettuce.
