Amazing ..didnt expect it the way it was going ..also busy counting out our (modest) winnings from the Grand National ..
Shd have known there would be seasons best crowd at YS today .. but crowds dont win trophies . . ( FC United )
-
A very good team, in my opinion deserve to be up there with us. But why do they have to cheat? >:(
-
What a finish!! Second half we could of had a couple more, the keeper made some good saves. First half i thought we were poor to be honest, very sluggish and gave the ball away far to often. Again it seems the players have to receive a bollocking at half time from the managers to get their fingers out. I was hoping to get home and see that BPA had lost, they were 4-2 down at half time, what a sickener to see the them win 4-6.

True, i thought they were a hardworking uncompromising side. Not sure about their pen, i couldn't see from where i was stood. Not sure about our pen, couldn't see that one either! :D

Like the man said,GET IN!!!!Thought we were poor first half,though they didn't look like scoring without the dubious penalty.Second half thought we were excellent,just thought it was going to be one of those days where it wouldn't go in.The longer the game went the better we got,and the introduction of Mikel was just what we needed.One thing about this team it never knows when it's beaten.Great performance lads.

Suarez was infinitely better than Davidson and I mean infinitely. Guiseley's no.3 looked comfortable before Suarez came on but switched to centre back after one of their substitutions and Mikel outdid him every time.
Church has been outstanding this season but I think today was one of his worst games. Their no.4 seemed to outbattle him and his passing was woeful at times but I have nothing other than admiration for what he has done this season. Luckily it did not have an effect in the end.
I might be getting boring but Pearson has to be player of the season. He is sheer quality. He only had one poor clearance all game but seeing as it was after a quality tackle, I will let him off!

First post - don't kill me!
Just to echo the comments below, Guisley were an excellent side and tried to play football. The first half was poor, the second half excellent, Boston finally held onto the ball and didn't give it away. The substution of Davidson had to be done - makes you wonder why Suarez didn't start.
Both penalties were the correct decision, had a perfect view for both and overall I thought the ref did quite well in trying to let the game flow. Missed a few decisions but that happens, you will never get perfection and it went both ways.
Excellent advert for the Unibond league and superb crowd as well and full credit to the management who clearly sorted a few things out at half-time and to the team for responding so well.

I didn't think the first half was particulary brilliant for either team. I can't see where people are coming from when they say Guiseley played well. For the majority of the game they seemed happy to waste the possession they had by lumping the ball up into the air and off the pitch. they were hardly ambitious and had little energy about them. The penalty was very questionable. However they did defend well, especially their keeper. They got what they deserved ultimately. They defended far to deep 2nd half and we punished them by attacking their area and trying to play the ball on the pitch. Its not rocket science, if you strign a couple of passes together usually you'll benefit. Shame the lads didnt realise that in the 1st half. But the 2nd half was much improved and showed again great character and belief in their abilities as players. A massive 3 points today, congratulations to all. Wasnt pretty at times but winning is winning. Onwards and upwards. Keep it up lads.

Great second half performance. Suarez was the difference - Danny just did not win enough even though he should do considering his height. To say their penalty was questionable is a understatement - blatent dive and then when Yates did the same second half it was play on which made the win even more satisfying. Great effort from all the lads
-
Just to add that the atmosphere on Spayne Rd in the last 15 minutes was awesome, it was like a bear pit after the penalty, the best its been for years. Well done to all down there, they kept the vocal support going at 0-1.
1600 is a good crowd but this team deserves better, it ought to be pushing 2500 for the FCUM game with their contingent and similar for the play offs.

Agree with the post from POL, besides the blatant dive for the penalty, and one shot which whistled over the crossbar, Guisley were happy to just lump the ball anywhere, the Guisley team thought they had got the match won at halftime, they walked off shaking one anothers hands as if it was done and dusted, the subsitutions from Boston changed the nature of the game, we brought on a proper right footed right back, he put in the ball for the winning goal to be flicked on for SWD to head in the net, we are a much better balanced team with the two full backs Cully and Bird in their rightful postions, I thought Bird was exellent today at left back, how long is it since we had a proper leftfooted left back, I myself thought Bradford were a much better footballing side than what Guisley were, Congratulations to Boston, you deserved it today, all you can do is keep the pressure on the other teams by winning your matches, it is not over until the fat lady sings, Well done to the Boston public for their great support today.
-
We are the best team in this league but when will the players realise it. The first half they gave far to much respect to a Guisely team that are quite ordinary.
As has been said it does appear that they have to receive a bollocking from the managers at half time to be convinced.
Second half they were excellent where Pearson found the energy to scare the crap out of them in both boxes is beyond me. The first penalty was a definate trip a yard inside our box. The second we were lucky to get as it was clearly played by defender with his shoulder, However take nothing away from the lads they thoroughly deserved what they got and how lucky we are to have a team that never give up. Promotion? YES.

Great game played poor first half very iffy penalty , what a good score for a large crowd lets hope
a few will come more often ??

It's funny how opinions differ I also had a very good view of both pens and thought they where both soft. As for the game was a poor game first half, as has been said both sides hitting it long. The managers worked their magic at half time (how many times is that) and second half we got the ball down and put them under sustained pressure for most of it.
Also like to echo what has been said about the substitution of DD for Mikel. From early on it was obvious Danny was off his game and jaded and I'm surprised they didn't make the change earlier (maybe ht?). Even though he was only on the pitch circa 30 minutes I would make Mikel MOTM he made that much difference, he MUST start on Wednesday now.
Thought the crowd where excellent today, after RS spoke about the moaners again in the paper (getting on the teams back when 2-1 down to Frickley, which I agree some did) thought they where very supportive today from start to finish.
Last thing, how many more grandstand finishes, Hucknall, Buxton and now Guiseley. What a fantastic team who always give 100% and never give up. Well done lads.
-
Next week 2000 plus and well deserved so lets welcome FCUM as they have fans like us, always behind their team.
BUFC on the up.

We were poor in the first half and when already losing 1-0 - one of the Guisley players headed over the bar when it looked like he was going to score their 2nd. We started the second half much better - but once again let Guisley in and they rattled the post. It was only when Davidson was substituted that Boston took control of the match and it was only a question of time when we would equalise, then go onto win the match.
Mikel should have started the match not come on after halftime - and he has to start against Worksop on Wednesday.
-
Anyone get any video of the winning goal today?
-
Who got the flick on for SWD's brilliant goal? I'd like to see a replay of that!
Superb team spirit to keep going to the last minute.
DD will do the job against most teams in this league, he's got a few goals to prove it. Mikel Suarez has that extra finesse you need against the better sides.
First half we were putting ourselves under pressure as the ball wasn't sticking in their half too long, introducing Velcro Mikel made the difference IMO.
Playing like that you've got to fancy 3 points against Worksop :dan
-
theres no way any honest boston fan who has attended regularly this season could possibly criticize our management,but,undoubtedly danny for mickel made a massive difference and i for one would start him every time.the subs they made today pulverized guiseley and we won today a brilliant 3 points,well done lads a brilliant win and what a brilliant crowd as well.
-
Well done Boston ,second half you were the better side,By far!.Lots still to play for...Going to go to the wire,now?.
Well played...
-
Great posts everyone. Nothing more to say than "BLOODY BRILLIANT"
-
i thought that guisely played better than boston in the first half. they kept the ball in the air and made sure everty time it came down they had players waiting for it so even if we got possesion there were so many white shirts that the only option was to clear. guisely were better than us in the air as well, winning the ball with their head.
2nd half was different again though, we kept the ball on the ground and passes it about to make them run about and break up their positions, and that opened up the gaps and gave us the chances.
Ref was fairly easy going, it was bound to be a physical match and he could have booked most of the players at some point, there was a few iffy decisions but thats just football.
Disapointing though on the way down spaine road after the match to hear folk moaning that it was a shit performance and we were lucky to win. FFS we won and got 3 points what do some people want????

A first half where we were second to everything including all balls played forward and over run in midfield which was disappointing although the positive thing was that despite being outplayed by the leaders they did not create any chances to draw saves from Evans which must give credit to our back four.
Second half started brightly but the big change was Suarez for DD. Things stuck up front and the balls were laid off meaning that we could create pressure and this told with the goals coming and full credit to the team for keeping going.
The atmosphere was excellent yesterday with even some chanting from the Spayne Lane. Walking down there after the game i heard no negative comments about the performance just a lot of happy people, me being one of them.

For years i've sat in the main stand but owing to money matters i now shift between there and Spain road. I was amazed to hear the moans about Danny Sleath and Danny Davidson. Sleath has popped up with some cracking goals this season. He plays in one of the most demanding positions on the pitch, that of the holding midfield. Yes i know he has Church there but i think he still works his socks off. Danny Davidson is never going to be a 'quick' player, he's up there to give the opposition defence grief and hopefully score goals. Probably yesterday wasn't one of his best games he's ever had for us but the lad tries his best.
All match i could hear, he should of done that, he should have done this. The thing is, if either of them could do half the things they were asking of them, neither of them would be plying their trade here they'd be playing at an higher level.
Hopefully next season they will be, with Boston United! :)

I thought the referee didn't seem to see some of Guisely players nudging or holding on to our players some times and their penalty was a blatent dive. Having said that I thought we were poor until the changes were made and we tried to play the ball in the air too much rather than get it on the ground and run at them. By the way does anyone know how long the Guisely players stayed out on the pitch for? They seemed very reluctant to go to the changing rooms for some reason. ;)

CRANWELL PILGRIM may have lost the lead at the top of the Prediction League yesterday, but he did manage to get a cracking photo of Spencer Weir-Daley heading home the winning goal!

Thanks for putting the photo on and respect for the good photos you take and upload. I took about 100 and got about three to be proud of. Would probably do better with a full frame DSLR.

Thanks lads for a brilliant game and creating an atmosphere I never thought we'd see at York Street again.
After this display is there anyone to fear?

Probably only complacency, but I can't see S&H letting that happen. I certainly wouldn't want to be in the dressing room if it did. :o

Will all of them do?

I've been working on getting the quality settings right this afternoon. Finally got it back in widescreen. ;D
I find 480p is the best way to watch it.
Thanks a lot Patrick! Quality is pretty good on this one as well
