Another one of Welshy's 7 day approaches!!!! Either our new super managers are struggling to get the players they thought would be chomping at the bit to join them at Boston or they have found Welshy's list of players he wanted to bring in!!! Could be a mistake by Mr Newton not giving Steve the chance to get his own players in..He is now paying Two managers to do what Welshy could have done..

Or it could be the players are impressed by S/H and want to be part of the ambition.

Unlike Welsh.

And anyway the players Welsh brought in?planning to were pretty good.

so we got this Camm chap, now this Clarke chap, If we get Julian Jokerjim that will be three ex Kings Lynn folks. Now i know what they say about Norfolk and inbreeding, but we have enough of it in Boston without bringing in Norfolk inbreeders as well.

That sais Jokerjim did live in Boston although technically he is of Cambridgeshire DNA and i think they are statistically OK for inbreeding

have a larf :)

I dont think any of the above are from Norfolk,  at time when they were at The Walks did i see them  doing a " high six"  ;D

When is Hefty signing ? You wanna get in quick Before Juke Box Drury sneaks him away to Corby.

  Would appear from the GTFC forum that Clarkys signature has rattled a few of their
   support not least Sut who writes,.... quote......

   "Don't wish him any luck at all signing for them,hope he fails to score during his entire
     Boston career and is shipped out of the sinking BUFC ship"

   A bit rich coming from someone who wanted the player at the Meres next season so one
   would assume sour grapes on his part  ;)

Whats all this about another of Welshy's signings. It's alright signing players but it's what u do with them that matters. I am told that his record in charge was comparable with TTs and to say that he and the players saved us on the last game of the season is rediculous, it was sheer luck. that last game was disgraceful and to be totally honest we deserved to lose it against a side that was marginally worse than us.
A final word on Mr. Welsh. I think he is excellent at the job he is doing and I'm pleased he stayed on. He does a great job with the youngsters.

Correct Seenbetter, it is about what is done with them when they sign. Also more than 1 player has mentioned how Rob Scott has sold the club to them with his and PH's vision for the club, this includes Camm and Clarke. Is it not possible that Welsh might not have been able to sell the club to these players and we missed out, like last season? Camm having offers from Conf North clubs and Clarke from Hucknall??

The Granfum support is a bit like Grimity's...they hate us with a passion, love the fact we're struggling and try to build up some big rivalry. We on the other hand see them as an irrelevance and couldn't really give a sh*t if either club is winning or losing.

i can only see sw being at boston to do the job with the youth,like ive said befor invalluable,but also his experiance in this league to put his pennyworth in with the new management also an advantage only and nothing else.we have got a lot to do befor we get up to winning ways to get us top half and all contacts are an advantage..

I feel one can always judge a player and his worth by the reaction of the supportersof the club he leaves, and interstingly after just reading the Stamford site, there is no uproar, and no real signs of any disapointment either, which could speak voulmes

It would appear they are more excited by the signing of Matson than the loss of Clarke.

I watched stamford several times last year and apart from one quite truly incredible finish, I didn't even notice the boy, he most certainly doesn't appear to be a work horse thats for sure, but if he scores 20/25 goals perhaps work rate wont be important

It does strike me though, with the lack of confirmed signings though, that our new managers aren't quite as au fait with the talent avaible to them in Lincolnshire as they could be.

Perhaps its why these rumours are now circulating about them picking the brains of SW, which initself is quite strange as he himself appeared to have a similar chink in his managerial armoury

I am expecting, should that be hoping, that many players arrive from pastures west, maybe debyshire and yorkshire where their knowledge is obviously and understandably greater

It doesnt necesarily mean that much, players move around tons in non-league and since he scored a lot of goals and we approached him in January, it shouldnt really be a surprise that he has departed.

And the fact that they are "excited" by the prospect of Matson says it all really...

It seems to me that alot of people on this forum have jumped onto the band waggon that has been started up originally by the one man crucade who is kingofknaves. What is KON problem, has he fecked your misses or something. Danny Matson never got a chance to show anyone what he could do, Shame. Surely KON there some real poor players that have donned the Boston United shirt in the last 5 or 6 years that have played a lot more too that are more deservintg of such abuse.


I've never met Danny Matson personally or know his family atall but i'd like to wish you good luck in the next part of your football career and hope you stay injury free. Prove these people wrong kid.

Post by: Oakham Pilgrim on June 21, 2009, 11:41:12 AM
Quite right RP - and it's not just about Matson. It seems some people are keen already to cast asperions on the new managers on the flimsiest evidence (they don't agree new signings as only one of them appears on the photos, they're signing SW's intended players etc etc etc). It all gets very tedious. Haven't these people anything better to do, such as mowing the lawn, and wait until the season starts to see what actually happens?
Title: Re: Jamie Clarke
Post by: bb1 on June 21, 2009, 02:07:03 PM
I said in a post before the so called fans should and i quote (stop slagging off the managers).These people would still find fault if we were top of the league,and if we are mid table they will be calling for yet another new manager.What we need is continuity.I think a pair of managers can bring success,two heads better than one.Just look at the barrow boys.

Speaking of Daniel Matson.. saw him at Gibbet Nook petrol station at coningsby, he was wearing boston shorts :O couldnt tell hu it was at first seens as he hadnt got on the pitch much, so saying that how can people say hes shit when he barely played :P
Title: Re: Jamie Clarke
Post by: mats84 on June 21, 2009, 05:06:28 PM
hey, its dan m. i would'nt normally post but i have been wanting to say a few things and reading this did prompt me to do so. i just wanted to say thank you to those BUFC fans that did send me cards and messages of good luck with the injury. It really did mean alot at a time when i was gutted to be honest, these things happen in football and to be fair ive not missed a game in four years so it was just my luck to do so when i got the opportunity to play for united. But luckily im still young and have many years playing, the knee is 100% and ive been back training hard for a few weeks now......
I did deserve the opportunity to play at this level, scoring 90 goals in three seasons at ucl level is not the easiest thing to do, the level has improved and it is a competitive league. I was never fit at united and with them having no reserve side it really didnt help me get to the fitness that i needed to be at, and when your not 100% fit injuries do happen.
It did'nt work out and i really hope you have a good season, the supporters deserve a team thats going to give 100% every game and get you out of the unibond.
It would be great to get drawn against you in the cup this season, be great to actually show you what i can do.
And KON my good friend, i must have done something wrong im sure, maybe your lonely or sexualy frustrated. i dont know. Instead of sitting behind your computer typing away about me, "which has been amusing" next time you see me in ASDA dont be a coward, come and say hello, i dont bite! you can have a water ski lesson anytime!!
Jamie clarke is a very good player and will do well for you, ive got many friends at stamford and he was highly thought of, players do read the forum and it doesnt give players confidence when some fans slate them, especially when they have not even kicked a ball in a united shirt...
All the best for the season ahead.

Quite right. He had very limited time on the pitch.
Still, a fond memory will be him taking out the linesman.
All the best to him for next season.

Post by: sshh u no hoo on June 21, 2009, 07:01:20 PM
To be fair, apart from KOn I didn't hear anyone at Boston berate the lad and playing under his old manager and starting a new season afresh and fit, will do him no end of good thats for sure
like Miller I too wish him well, but after last seasons LC exploits against Stamford, and with them signing several of our old players, I dont fancy playing them this season just in case lightning does strike twice

As for JC lets hope that he does give us 20, 25 goals then there will surely be no slatings, though on reflection even that wont please everyone :-\

Great post from mats84.  Certainly gives some food for thought, I've long thought the fans of this club can at times be its biggest enemy getting on the backs of players and management.  Its sad that some people have even started moaning about the new managers before any friendlies or even training!  Last season I actually stopped using my season ticket because I got sick of people getting on the players backs and that was after about two games!  We will never get the best out of our own players if we continue slagging them off, especially before they have even had the chance to prove themselves.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, its the opposition who should find York Street a hostile place to play, not our own players.

Anyway good luck to all the players for the future ncluding Danny Matson for the future.  I doubt wether any one of them would have wished for last season to work out how it did and would have wanted to be succesful as much as we did.

Totally agree.....there seems to be just a few "fans" that get on at a the players, but the players can hear these few "fans" and it cant do much for their confidence.

I was one of those that wanted danny to get is chance and althou there was a lot of players last year that were intitle to there p45. I have to admit he was one of 4 or 5 players that have been sent packing that IMO should have had at least 6 or 7 month

Good to hear about the "gruelling hard session !!". Looks like we'll have a super fit squad this season. IMO that was one of the problems last season. If you check out the "goals conceded in the last 15 mins." stat. compared to the rest of the game, it looks like we didn't last the 90 mins. too often. Individually we had the talent but you need to be able to use it for the whole game.
