What used to be a very decent way to follow the game is fast becoming a painfull hour and a half of slagging united off. I am not sure how Craig manages to keep it going with all the crap and abuse that people send through. The forum is a good place for the negheads (moaners) but united live should be just about the game.
-
It was only one or two people....... I asked if we had a shot at goal all game and got no reply,even after 3 attempts...... And that wasn't being negative, I'd been out and came back after about 10 minutes of the 2nd half, listened for another 10 and struggled to see us mount an attack so thought I'd ask if I'd missed anything. The silence told its own story. Thats not being negative, thats a genuine question, obviously it was too difficult for either Craig who was at the game or those who'd been listening longer to answer.
Some people need to grow a thicker skin if a couple of known trolls are going to bother them like it obviously was this afternoon. Fact is once again we've a team that looks a long way short of what needed and people are going to ask difficult questions. If those connected with the club aren't happy with those kind of comments on a live feed I suggest they stop providing the service or make it a read only one.
And FWIW I think its a good, honest and worthwhile service for those of us who tire of the radio's obsession with Lincoln City........and the trolls really are wasting their time, Craig's not going to bite and the only people who respond are those who think BUFC are beyond reproach and their comments are as pointless as the trolls.

Its not a thicker skin needed- everyone has there own thoughts and i respect that- its just clogging up united live wuth dross. The whole second half was Barry against all!

and if you had actually followed the feed, you would have realised that craig had actually responded after the first time, therefore didn't need asking 3 times

Just checked today's feed for clairification! Not quite right… Question asked at 16:20. Asked again at 16:23 and answered at 16:24. Question asked again at 16:25!
-
I turned it of,
With meaning of no offence to craig or the good supporters of boston i feel theres getting a few to many idiots around at the moment that use it

Not very good for the club when they're looking for someone to sponsor the service.

My apologies, I was probably scrolling back reading the earlier feed!

Then ignore 'Barry'......its quite simple, I did!!!!
Personally I'd let Craig get on with it and block the banal 'come on Utd' etc........it is a live feed after all, not an extension to MSN.
-
No problems.
I do not mind anybody commenting - positive or negative - preferably positive though!
But it is hard work to sift through 510 comments from 1,151 viewers during two-and-a-half hours coverage while trying to watch the match. Replying to each one is impossible - so please bear with me.
We are hoping to announce a new sponsor for United Live which will pay for the service for the whole season. Hopefully that will be this week. Stay tuned!

True, but I too turned it off, all I wanted to do was read about the game. NF would have found it easier to get his answer if those two trolls weren't filling it will nothingness and vitriol. Equally, those that rise to the bait and fill the timeline with answers to the trolls, double the pain for us that just want to see how we're doing at the games we can't make. It mirrors this site in some ways, there used to be many varied views and witty retorts but most have gone, swallowed up in a pit of in jokes and in fighting.
Maybe Craig could trial only taking questions about the game if he has to vet the posts before they appear. "How many shots have we had?" His next commentry could simply read "Boston pressing forward, need to do something as we've not registered a shot yet." People get the answers they want without others having to read pages and pages of drivel.
-
Today was the first day that I have had to turn off United Live as the second half was more or less unbearable with "Barry" and his constant criticism against the blind happy clappers . This made actually following the game almost impossible.
While I try to ignore either the often mis-placed criticism and inane cheering on but I would rather have the latter during the game and then, if criticism is required, this comes after. Where there is a game when the opposition keeper hasn't had to make a save then there are grounds to query and criticise but this is the correct forum for that, not the match feed.
As has been stated earlier, this bickering and negstive feedback is most likely to put off any potential sponsor which benefits no one.
-
Can understand N/f missing the response , I got to the stage where these juveniles made it difficult to maintain interest .
The good news is kids of this mentality quickly tire and soon look for a new toy .
I log on to live reports on other clubs site,s and yes they are biased, maybe more so than Craig,s . If the reports were totally unbiased some fans would be complaining it was too harsh on their team .
I also tune in to non-league matches on other radio stations and it has to be said their commentators are far less biased than those on Lincs Radio. to back N/F point .
Last Monday night I tuned into BBC Radio Hereford &Worcester which gave live commentary on Worcester,s BSN match . Do BBC Radio Herefort & Worcester get a bigger sport budget than BBC Radio LINCS, or do they have a less biased agenda than BBC Lincs?
-
just wondering for the future is there a way to set up a list of users currently in the "room" so the user could have the right to ignore them
-
you can't stop the like's of barry ;he will be collin next match ;or was he barry come guest this time ;being at the match i have had a quick look at boston live ;at the very end a comment from toun said ( c/an we have jason field back now ) he was on the bench ; interesting ;;
-
Missed the trip to Stanstead, in bed poorly. Tuned in to United Live which is a great service but like many others found it extremely dificult wading through some of the garbage to try and get a perspective on the actual game. I was also frustrated by the obviously poor display by the team, but the continuous rubish spouted had me burying my head in my pillows. Warning to everyone 'If you can't get to the game because of illness beware United Live, it will not improve your condition'. It's a great service but please stop the idiots spoiling it.
-
It strikes me that there are many people who use both United Live and this hallowed forum who object to any comment that is in any way non positive or derogatory to anything Boston United.
There are those who hide behind names who do deliberately post comments to antagonise others. (no im not going to now publish my name, address date of birth etc)
If it is the case that anyone who wishes to post negative comments will be publicly shamed and berated, then stuff any form of fan interaction or have moderators who ban anyone that dare speak ill of the mighty amber and black.
If I think that we have played poor, then I will say so. If I think we have had a good game I will say so.
If you don’t like it and it bursts your deluded bubble, tough. get over it and grow up. The team has bad days and puts in poor performances and im not going to suck up to those who don’t like it when I post a comment such as "Shocking Performance", the response I got was
Comment From Guest1Guest1: ]
Just what the players need to read when they get back after the game truthsayer. They need your positive motivating comments.
Ok. Look around you at the crowd. they pay your wages and you havent earned your money. Those people work hard for their money and use it to buy shirts and alike that go towards paying for you kit, the ground the coadches and everything else. Youve been piss poor and are guilty of fraud because you havnt earnt a penny of what youve been payed. No sod off and sort yourselevs out and dont ever put in a performance like that unless your prepared to give your money back. If your not prepeared to put that shirt on and give it 100% then dont waste their time and your own
Yeah my arse. I bet Jason Lee went into the changing room and gave all the lads a cuddle and a hug wiped away their tears and gave them some sweeties. Some of you really are pathetic if you can’t handle criticism and I assume you have had mummy and daddy telling off those nasty bullies all your life.

The overly positive people are just as bad as the realists so go away until you have grown some balls.
Craig does a wonderous job with united live and top marks for ding it, he could after all just sit on his arse and drink beer, but whoever does it is going to get flacked with abuse from all angles, some even aimed directly at craig himself (Ive seen that before), but at the end of the day an open forum is exactly that, and if a team is playing poor people are gonna say so.
Maybe someone should create a parallel service called Lovely United Live where only nice things can be said
Rant over
-
Its fine to have a bitch, but at the right time. As soon as the goal went in the comment "the bubble ad burst" was posted. Talk about negative mindset. That person was sat waiting to right that comment from the kick off. If he wanted to get peoples backs up, he succeeded. But also ruined the afternoon for some people who enjoy united live.
-
What Bubble. There was only one if he blew one up.
-
I think if the happy clappers carry on with this farsicle then craig might just turn round and say sod it and not bother anymore then will have to put up with radio lincolnshires attempt of coverage
-
United Live?
Sounds a bit of an oxymoron.
Do you need any more trolls on it?
Sorry I meant realists who really know what is going on. :bunny
-
No problems.
I do not mind anybody commenting - positive or negative - preferably positive though!
You need to encourage the trolls/realists Craig so that Jason gets the message that the current offering on the pitch is something with what we will not put! :)
-
I believe United Live is for comments on the game being played, only, and is not a forum.
Patter is the forum for comments of a footballing nature, and of course, any abuse that anyone wishes to give the Scouse git!
-
and for marketing BUFC events...........hosted by the fan friendly Gussie-poohs. xxx ;)
-
Absolutely dear child.
But at least, myself and other volunteers, do have the well-being of the club at heart, not like some I could mention.
Now go away and play in the sand dunes before winter gets here and it is too cold for little boykins to be outside.
-
Two comments:
1. Scouse - p--s off!
2. Truthsayer, if you are going to post on here atleast read your post through, then you won't make the mistake of repeating yourself viz-a-viz lines 2 and 3 of paragraph 7!!
-
Personally my biggest gripe was not what was being said, but the fact that it totally spammed up the feed so that I could barely see the updates. Is there a function whereby those who do not wish to see somebodies inane rambling we can simply switch of the comments? If its like that again I do't think I will bother anymore and will stick to the abysmal Radio Lincoln updates.
For what its worth, my opinion is that we have a forum to post our opinions so why not just have the united live as purely match commentary and if anybody wishes to comment they can head across to the forum.

Ken,
A formal complaint to be recorded please. Ernie100 is ganging up on Truthsayer. Please banish him to a sulphurous place with slugs in the beer.

Been there Scousey baby, a nice little cantina in Mexico that serves the best Tequila, I know it's a worm (possibly you!) in the bottle, but a slug of it does wonders.

A wise old man once said to me
"Sarah"(not my real name),
Should you ever send a memo, make a deliberate mistake. People will come and tell you that you made a mistake. Then later on when you draw reference to said memo and no one knows what your talking about remind them they spotted the mistake, spotted the mistake so the must have read it and hence could not know about it.
So thanks Ernie!
And in balance... This Dyer youth sounds like he could be a tasty signing
Goodbye and Thanks for all the fish!
TS
-
Is there some sort of code involved here TS? ???
-
Goodbye and Thanks for all the fish!
You are Sea Bass and I claim my £10.
-
Gosh Whats occuring?
Code? Nope, i dont think so, i wash just hoping to deflect attendtion from my duplication in a previous rant, by making it look like i did it on purpose.
I cant get anything past you lot.
Shamed
TS
-
Tks TS, but it must be nice to know that someone actually reads your posts :) I could point out a couple of wandering fingers in your last post, but I can't be bothered!!!
-
, myself and other volunteers,
volunteers my giddy aunt. You get fed and watered and probably get to watch the dross on the pitch. :bunny
-

Lived in Mexico for a year. And it's called a guisano. :bunny
-
Pity you didn't stay in Mexico, dear boy.
Fed I may be, but the alcoholic beverages are financed by my goodself in recompense for my superb meal.
Should you wish to avail yourself of the odd opportunity to stand in for me on the rare occasion that I can't make it, then I am sure the club will be most delighted with your patronage. However, be prepared to bring at least 6 bottles of decent wine and not go home with any of them, as they can be a thirsty lot, our sponsors.
You can also have the pleasure of doing a 4-hour stint on the Burger barbie at Community Day, which will give you the opportunity of discussing your issues with the Chairman (he is the head chef).
There are, of course, other volunteers besides myself, so I am sure that a menial job could be found for you, and watching the dross on the pitch is not obligatory.
-
Now watch him come back and put a completely different slant on what you said, Gus
-
Methinks substitute Truthsayer for Scouse Pilgrim and vice-versa we may be getting somewhere - that's if anybody really gives a hoot about either of them!! :)

Owl have you know thats not fair Ernie!
If i agree with Mr Scouse, i will do. If i think he is spouting absolute tripe i will say so.
I was jolly positive on United live yesterday despite the result, and have said other nice things as well, especially considering my last forum account was deleted because of bilious characters such as yourself
Or does one assume that you have the backing of the forum to publicly defile a username merely because they may pander to the opinions of other with who you do not agree?
I may say controversial things that some may like BUT I DO NOT SLUR AN INDIVIDUAL - That is clearly an underhand and despicable tactic reserved only for you
If so you are a custardly coward of the higest order, who points fingers and calls others names whilst hiding behind others who you hope will protect you, much like when you were at school im sure, making the lives of others hellish
Pathetic
Childish
I feel that i am owed a public apology on this matter, and i expect one forthcoming which states that you intend no direct slur on my name and i expect it to be published as a new thread.
>:(

I also note that a "player" for united has commented on "twitter" that he was "feeling it this morninn"
F**king feeling it this morning???
Unlees you had realsised your job is to be a footballer and I would expect you to be upto the job.
So if your not its for one of two reasons...
1) your Sh*t
2) The managers Sh*t for bothering with ya.
FFS your getting paid so bust a B*ll*ck and improve your fitness
Im no naming any names SWD but f*cking earn your money or p*ss off to another club who will allow you to f*ck about. Exercise and get f*cking fit and don't whine about being f*cking unfit, because if you are look in the mirror for who to blame

And before you start moaning...
He is taking us for a ride and milking it.
TS
-
I'd agree with most of what you say but for my money SWD was one of a very small minority who put a shift in yesterday......he's a bit infuriating but I rarely see him hide or go missing.
As for that Miller, he says he wants to get in the League.......which one, because the NPL looks about his level after yesterday. >:(

SWD is currently playing with a back injury....perhaps why he is feeling the effects this morning. He should be getting praise for putting in a decent performance yesterday rather than getting abuse from you. If you'd like to suggest how he can improve the healing rate of his body, the floor is yours.........otherwise get back under your rock.

Anyone who knows anything about sport/has played any physically demanding sport knows that after a long spell without a game no matter how hard you train or prepare the muscles in the body which haven't been put under the same repeptitive strain for a lengthly period always ache ten fold the following day.
Keep up the good work Spencer.

If you and the rest of the blinkered fools are happy to donate to the 3 legged donkey foundation so be it.
he is openly admitting on a socila network that he is unfit and he is taking a wage. YOUR hard earned money is carrying deadwood and YOUR happy about it...
Seriously?
-
TS - At NO point does SWD admit to being unfit! His only comment was that he was feeling stiff this morning after his first match start of he season, I have already explained to you above why this is completely acceptable.
-
I'm afraid TS, like his soul mate SP, is merely a drama queen who likes to try and ruffle feathers whilst enjoying the "notoriety" without adding any substance to any debate what so ever.
Let him troll away and best to ignore him until the underside of a rock beckons....... We've all seen his sort on here before...I would hazard a very good guess that we all seen him on here before in a variety of different guises? At least KON sometimes makes a valid point amongst his wind ups :)

C'mon people! I have nothing but respect for SWD.
But if he aint fit he should not be playing. Tell the gaffer that you cant give it 100% and let him put in someone that can.
Dont be arsing about on tweetbook about it afterwards.
As for soul mate? you really are a fickle bunch
-
TS - at some point every player has to play their 'comeback' game after any injury. SWD wasn't rushed back by himself or the management, after a good performance (and well taken goal) yesterday JL even said that he took him off mid way through the second half 'to not over do him' after a period out injured. In any physically demanding sport a player cannot go through several weeks out injured to a 100% performance especially in the position SWD plays (due to the logistics of the game a goalkeeper or defender generally covers less distance during a game) without feeling a few aches and pains the next morning regardless of how well they have tried to keep fit nothing is a substitute for a match. Really don't see the argument here, JL and SWD got it spot on.

Feathers are only ruffled Mr F if you let them be.
Forums are not for the faint hearted or easily ruffled! (Look at Messrs Gussie and Oxo)
And not everyone who voices opinions different from your own should be construed as a troll.
Firstly, you merit them with an accolade that is probably not deserved and secondly, by trying to pigeonhole them, you undermine your own credibility (assuming you have any of course). :bunny

I feel like I am 86.... but I'm 60 years younger!

Get it checked out by a doctor. Something so small shouldn't ache for so long ...
