And that is a wrap for 2025, the year draws to a close but not before we deliver one final episode of the Iron Hour Podcast.

It gives us a chance to have a quick look back at the year and pull out so highs and lows that stood out over the last 12 months, who thought we would have been promoted after the defeat away at Radcliffe? (Not to mention the Not so good Friday defeat at King's Lynn). But this year can't be categorised as anything over than a huge success so well done to Andy Butler and his men.

We spend some time reviewing the boxing day masterclass away at Hartlepool, some stand out performances from TSF and of course Cal Roberts got us over the line. Maxi looked in all kinds of trouble against Whitehall but do we need to tighten up at the back? These late goals could start hurting us again if we aren't careful.

The spy in the camp returns with Dan Bell from the DB30 Sports Youtube channel and he gives his honest and frank assessment of their season so far and a look back at the failed bid to make the play off's in the past few seasons. Was it really a sliding doors moment?

Looking ahead to the final game of 2025, Barra and Marco give their predictions and discuss where this game will be won and lost.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a delight! As we welcome on a club legend for this Christmas special episode of the Iron Hour podcast.

Introducing none other than the big man himself, nope it isn't Santa. It's....... Steve Torpey spreading his Christmas cheer as Barra and Marco take you on a journey of the past, present and future as we recount some fan favourite stories and hear what it was really like in that dressing room under Brian Laws (see what we did there). From rickety view points to missing analysis footage and all the stories in between. We hear Torps' side of the Lee Johnson saga and look at many a thing outside of the Iron too, the Milwall vs West Ham derby and playing under Jan Molby at Swansea.... we discuss it all! ⚽🥅👑

The ghost of Christmas present visits as Torps looks at the current crop of players and gives his view on the standouts and expectations for this season with his take on who would be a massive loss if they left in the new year, not to mention the glowing praise for Butler's management skills. 🎁

And finally the ghost of things yet to come drops in as we look ahead to the boxing day clash at Hartlepool featuring the regular predictions.🔮

A huge thank you to the legend himself Steve Torpey for joining us this week and talking all things Scunthorpe United. To our listeners, we thank you so much for your continued support throughout this year. We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a promotional new year! 🎅 🎄 🎁 ✨

The big 3 0 is up for us this season on The Iron (half an) Hour podcast!

A quick one as we record early due to the Unity Quiz on Thursday evening. A nice little recap of Saturday's 2nd half demolition of Tamworth after a shaky first 45. We go over all the big talking points including the impressive Cal Roberts and Alfie Bates with the save of the century. How did the officials miss that one?

We talk Oteh, Brogan, Ewing and so much more.

We preview the FA trophy game this coming Saturday against Peterborough Sports... the return of Phil Brown. Who has money on another scrap with Buts?

A nice little FPL update and a shoutout to the Unity group. If you are at the quiz on Thursday, see you then! If not, see you at the weekend. (Contact Stu Maw if you would like to enter the quiz as there are 2 spots available)

The Iron Hour podcast delivers it's 29th episode of the season!

First and foremost, Congratulations to Ross Barrows on his comeback, an incredible 336 days after the horror injury on New Years eve 2024.

We ask the big question - what was the quickest collapse, the England top order or the end of Saturday's game? Lots to discuss as we dive into the trip to Alty and ponder over a potential winter time pattern.

It's 20 league games up for the season so we have our usual 10 game review with regular Ben Maidment, he says we are going ok, what do you think? Room for improvement or content with the season so far?

The spy in the camp is back, we welcome Dave Brown the Tamworth and Non League photographer as we preview Saturday's home game against the Lambs. And a thankyou to Tom Tonks for setting that up.

A quick FPL update and our weekly predictions... everyone going for a draw!

Up the Iron, see you next week!

Fresh from our appearance at the FCA's, the Iron Hour podcast deliver the latest episode of the season 4! That's 28 for the season! There's no London offices here, just a few scunny fans talking nonsense.

We take a deep dive into the recent happenings at Scunthorpe United and in particular Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Braintree Town, snatching a draw from the jaws of victory with that late goal conceded. It's a game of fine margins and if you don't put your chances away, you always leave the door open.

We look at the threadbare squad Buts is operating with and it's fair to say we are looking a bit light at the moment. Do we need a signing or 2 to freshen things up?

We take a good look at those Andy Butler post match comments - are you a boo boy? And we discuss the club statement regarding a reported racist incident.

The fan favourite segment spy in the camp is back and we welcome Dec from the Talkin' Alty podcast who helps us look ahead to Saturday's away fixture at Altrincham. An opposition that have actually been quite kind to the Iron in recent years, with us managing to pick up 4 points against them in that 22/23 relegation season.

Out usual predictions and a quick fire FPL update at the end.

Whether we are talking the Iron or utter rubbish or maybe both, we hope you enjoy it! Give us a like and follow on social media and leave us a comment and a review!

All in all, we are just pleased that Barra uploaded the correct podcast this week - what a plonker!

The boys are back for yet another episode of The Iron Hour podcast!

One host is in Alabama and the other is on his way to Perth but fear not Iron fans, we promise to keep up our regular podcast with yet another installment. This week, we welcome Iron Hour writer Dylan Whitbread.

Obviously, the main talking point this week is the poor result away at Solihull Moors on Saturday with the Iron suffering their heavies ever defeat under the management of Andy Butler. We need a reaction this coming week and the panel look a how that might happen.

With more players missing due to injuries and suspensions, Buts will have to shuffle his pack again.

Thanks for tuning in, we really appreciate it. Up the Iron

The Iron Hour podcast brings you another jam packed episode!

Another 3 points picked up on Saturday as we once again found a way to win. The panel discuss that performance and pick out a few standout performers in recent weeks. Big news as two players leave the Iron on loan, does that potentially free up some space for any incomings?

We enter a crunch part of the season and the panel look at how things are shaping up as we enter the winter months!

Once again, Thank you for listening. Up the Iron!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

First and foremost, everyone associated with the Iron Hour would like to send our best wishes to Jonathan Gjoshe following Saturday's incident. It's fantastic to hear Andy Butler give a positive update on the situation since we recorded this episode.

It's Friday! It's that time of the week again and it can mean only one thing.... The Iron hour is back with your regular dose of content!

Fresh off the back of a very impressive performance away at Bloomfield Road and a postponed trip to Rochdale we prepare to host Yeovil as we look to add to our impressive start tot he season.

We review the FA cup game, the tactical set up and of course the departure of Rory Watson as he returns to parent club York City after a late recall and the extension of Rory Mahady.

We take a look at Max's recent article and wonder whether we are ruthless enough!

And a HUGE thank you to Ben Maidment for a last minute call up for the spy in the camp segment in association with Gloverscast.

We will see you on Saturday, Up the Iron

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Following the Iron reaching the FA Cup 1st Round proper for the first time since 2021, the pod review what positives Andy Butler & co can take from our narrow defeat away at League One Blackpool.

We then give an update on our 300 player-plus FPL, and see the return of our always popular Spy in The Camp segment, thanks to an interview with Charlotte from the Dale way podcast and the Absolute Football Podcast!

To round things off, we preview the big top of the table clash, as the 2nd-placed Iron travel to the current title favourites Rochdale on Tuesday night
