Well, i skimmed over some of the posts since they seemed very... trolly... but some things need to be set straight (from my perspective)
Yes, IRON may have lost many a ship and NO, IRON/G arent 1 entity though we do have a very brotherly connection
Currently BoB holds JU-, why? Because IRON/G didnt have the firepower to beat both the BoB and the ATUK fleet last night (prolly still would be BoB holding JU- even if we had had the firepower).
Why didnt we have the firepower?
As Daxes so elequently put forth, ATUK brought in several extra BSs to the fight being (from the scans i took atleast) 12 Scorps and 14 Tempests + others
The IRON/G/Friends fleet couldnt even muster 20 BSs at that point so there wasnt at all any chance to fight back, so many of the european timezones decided to call it a night breaking the IRON/G fleet down to around 60-70 pilots.
Why didnt we engage? because we were cowards? because BoB rules the skies of Eden itself? (well yeah, last part WAS a joke) No, simply because there was no chance of victory at that point.
So, IRON retreated to the POS with G/Friends positioning just outside it, why did G run everytime ATUK warped in? ever tried fighting 3-1 in BS before? No need to squander material unnecesarily.
Atuk eventually left and IRON again had the upper hand in the system and again roamed freely end of story there.
Also, i was there in both engagements with BoB that night and yes, BoB fought valiantly though clearly outgunned at first. Neither was as succesful as BoB claims though... looking at our killboards respectively i see 26 losses from the initial jump in with shrike loosing a sacriledge untill diana lost the geddon. You saying G/IRON/Friends lost > 52 ships?
And about the OP... looking at the way it was written I for one do not see why everyone (mostly BoB) seem to believe it to be an IRON alt.

Tbh [5] were as surprised as the rest of us watching from the outside
Seems to me like the OP has inside info from 5, since when does 5 and IRON share info? (dont give me the spy attitude here, from what i know IRON didnt learn of it untill the fleet was knocking down the door)
I find it quite discerning that so many BoB pilots (not directors) decide to flame this here, yes the post is more then just redundant bordering on trolling, but to blatantly go in here themselves and start prophesicing total doom and victory over IRON (read between the lines) seems both arrogant and down right dumb to me. No alliance can be declared dead by anyone else then the alliance itself.
From what i remember BoB pilots (again not the officials) also proclaimed total victory over IRON only few days after taking JU- in the first place, at which point all able PvPer of both IRON/G were still engaging ASCN in the south. It was arrogant then, it is still arrogant, imo.
Anyways, i'd better get off coms before my CEO roasts me completely
