The B-Ark / Scarborough

Very disappointing performance yesterday. The result gives us a lot to do. If by some miracle we do go up, I think we will struggle big time. I see Kidderminster have been relegated. A big call out to the big crowd yesterday, and to the 200+ Scarborough fans who made the long journey.

The B-Ark / OT Conspiracy theories

« on: April 10, 2024, 01:22:09 PM »

On the Spennymoor thread I confessed I was a big fan of Conspiracy theories. This does not mean I believe them, but some provide so much evidence it makes you question some of the mainstream facts.

Some of the main conspiracy theories doing the rounds are of course, Did we land on the moon? Was it the Titanic which sank or he sister ship? Was 9/11 a US government ploy to invade Iraq? My favourite one at the moment is, is the moon artificial put there by Aliens?

The reasoning behind this theory is the sheer coincidence of the moon being where it is and the size it is.
The moon is in the most optimum position to most benefit the earth. It is exactly 400 times smaller than the sun. It's 400 times nearer the earth than the sun. This is why it exactly covers the sun in a solar eclipse.

The odds apparently of all this happening are twenty two trillion to one. I don't believe any of the above, but just heading off to Loch Ness

Not pretty, but much needed three points. A very card happy referee ( Harry Jones ) did his best to spoil the match. He was the same last time he reffed us. I see Scunthorpe are doing their best to stay in this league .

The B-Ark / Farsley Celtic

A good three points yesterday, and well done to Kelsey Mooney on your hat trick.  Perhaps Ken could tell me the last time a Boston player had two consecutive hat tricks.  Our defence held out, with a special mention to Brad Nicholson.  Also Bozzy ran and ran a true captain, he was my man of the match until Mooney got his third.

Good news with our two players ( Mills and Leek ) back in training tomorrow.  Even thou I've praised our defence, I think it will be a different kettle of fish against our Bogie side Chorley next week.  Yesterday you could see why Farsley have one of the worst goals total this season.

Anyway Well done lads still battling for that playoff spot.

The B-Ark / Buxton

« on: February 28, 2024, 09:31:14 AM »

Thought we were very unlucky last night. On another night we would have been going in 3-1 up at half time.  Three stunning saves kept Buxton in the game.  Then an unlucky own goal and dodgy penalty( their player handled before being fouled ) sealed their win.

The injuries are mounting up again, I think we need a couple of loanees pronto.

Saturday I questioned ICs use of substitutions ( lost us two points I thought ). Last night was even more of a mystery, he took off a defender and put on another forward.  Our ageing defence was being ripped apart by their swift forwards.  Our three defenders was soon down to two, with Mills suffering an injury.

A quick word about the poor ball boy.  He looked distraught after making his mistake. Bless him.

We huffed and puffed but got the job done. Sad to see Chapman leave, I  can see the sense in letting him go, frees up a wage. Well done lads three more points and puts us right in the mix. We are the form team in the league according to statistics. Two tough matches ahead.

The B-Ark / Oh so tight

« on: February 18, 2024, 11:16:19 AM »

We know this is a hard league to get out of, but this year takes the biscuit

We are third in the form table ( last 10 games ) behind Tamworth and Brackley. Yet we are still outside the playoffs. Only six points separate 3rd from 11th.  I think goal difference will have a big say in the playoff places. It will soon be squeaky bum time.

I am not posting a match report, my old mate Oxo will do that.  Just to say what a boring game.  We seemed lost with out Hazel.

Very sad thing to happen to one of the nicest people in football. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/25591931/david-norris-medal-savings-parents-fans-donations/

A good point away, looks a hard fought draw. Hopefully the injury to CG is not too bad.

The B-Ark / Grounds visited

« on: December 04, 2023, 11:02:16 AM »

On another thread Andy Butler has visited 162 grounds.

Being retired, and having plenty of time on my hands, I tried to add up all the grounds I have visited.

I was surprised to find I am a long way short of Andy's total, 98 to be exact.

My total  64.

Match could be off. Looking rather chilly.

The B-Ark / Chorley

Disappointed with the result, but not the Performance.  Brought back memories of our Playoff defeat to them in the 8th minute of 5 minutes added time.

I could see it coming, we sat too deep in the last 10 minutes.

Only one point out of six last two home games.  Not good enough, but a good signing in Hazel is a positive.
