The B-Ark / Re: AFC Man Und .
« on: August 27, 2017, 10:25:43 AM »
I have supported this club for over 50 years, and nothing changes. We the supporters of Boston United are a fickle lot.
We moaned when Howard Wilkinson was in charge ( he went on to manage England )
We moaned when Jim Smith was in charge ( he became a very successful League manager )
We moaned when Don Donavan was in charge ( he turned the club around, and set the foundation stones of what we have today)
We love a moan, it comes with being from Boston.
All I say is give the man a chance. He knows this is his doing and I think he will sort it.
If we get rid, or he leaves, where would that leave us?
BACK THE MAN AND THE TEAM

« on: August 27, 2017, 10:10:48 AM »Come on Adam and ED, sod Brexit more important things to sort out down York St , we've got sort out the Chapman /Murray problem first.
We can hear and read much on Brexit through the media , which I guess is where most get the Brexit information from . How reliable is this ? Note most the journalists attended the same education establishments as the politicians that they socialise with and collect their "reliable information" from .
Independent studies ? these are mainly commissioned by people/parties with a vested interest . compiled by so called experts based mainly on biased speculation to suit the organisation paying the huge fee for the report , Well won't we do the same ? , probably another big payday round the corner .
I collect my information from Fred (not his real name ) next door . Fred,s education although better than mine did not extend to the establishments which these so called Brexit experts attended .
What expertise does Fred have to offer that the above mentioned experts do not ? . Fred has worked in the food processing import/export business for 25 years . When Brexit is done and dusted he will have what he has now , a job that gives him a reasonable life style , no fat cat salary nor a multi-million pound windfalls.
I have found his information/predictions far more reliable and unbiased than that collected from the media .
Abandon the Telegraph and the log fire .
Nothing beats standing on the drive discussing Brexit with Fred in a lovely Lincolnshire sunset . Healthy, enlightening and the free fruit and veg tastes great .
The immigration figures were in line with Fred,s prediction . Factories going up in Poland , and "staff wanted " posters beginning to appear in some EU countries .
Forget Brexit lets get back to the more important matters of Murray and Chapman !
Well said GHM. I thought you would be at church this sunny Sunday morning

The B-Ark / Re: Spennymoor
« on: August 23, 2017, 11:01:26 AM »
I went last night, and like everyone on this forum was very disappointed with the result and the way we lost.
I do agree Spennymoor were by far the better side and let's not take anything away from them.
But why when we have one of the best playing surfaces in the league we resort to hoof ball?
We played right into their hands, they were a big powerful northern team.
Concerning the moaning, it is ONE person who stands on the half way line, Spayne road side.
He has been doing it for years. Every year he singles out a player and no matter how well they play they get it in the ear.
I remember he used to pick on Tom Bennet ( in my opinion one of the best midfielders to put on a Boston shirt )
Last night he picked on two players, NUMBER THREE ( he did not know his name ) and Chapman. In the end they were afraid to touch the ball.
This man has a very loud voice and I am sure the players can hear him. Mind you I did agree with him when he kept shouting " play it on the ground " I would think the ball had a coating of ice on it, with it being so high for so often.

« on: August 21, 2017, 08:59:09 PM »Immigrants actually make a net contribution to the UK economy - they pay more in taxes etc than the receive in benefits.
You overlook the cost of new schools , expanding the health service and the problems and costs of housing Martyn .
A factor overlooked applicable to Boston is the distress caused to many housed and unhoused Bostonians , many have been pushed down
the social ladder housing list , others in the lower cost home areas of Boston have found themselves trapped in a home unsellable
at a fair market value due to adjacent HMOs . All due to lack of planning starting in the Blair era right through to the present
government .
These very same people unable to for see relatively simple problems like above then have the audacity to preach the merits/setbacks
involved in Brexit . These are joined by bankers and others who at different times have been caught with their fingers in the till .
Add to that the "facts" which is in fact speculation produced by "experts" the political equivalent of M O Day pundits ..
Can we really form a sound opinion based on the above ? Relax and sit back 5 years before a true picture emerges .
And lets all reward Dipododah for instigating this thread by rushing up and buying him a pint in the Pilgrim bar tomorrow night .
I would think I am more likely to get a bash on the head.

Well done, I bought one, I was only 4 numbers out from winning a shirt, do they do FB size? I think Chris said 150 printed, so if all sold a nice little earner.

« on: August 16, 2017, 06:30:45 PM »I see today that nothing has been decided about the border between Northern Ireland and the South.
What will be stopping EU immigrants entering Ireland, crossing the Border to Northern Ireland.
Our borders will be weak at this point, any undesirables can enter via the back door.
A mockery really. I visit Ireland on a regular basis and most are against any border control.

Apart from being chucked out of the FA Cup? They've also never been promoted... that's tinpottery on its own.
I know what you're saying, but we are not in a position to judge.

« on: August 10, 2017, 01:28:33 PM »League forces clubs to film the full game and send them to scout7 tool by 11pm that night, unless it is a night game of course.
Clubs are not allowed to put their highlights up until a certain time but before that the league will put their version of highlights up on the league website.
Kicking off a bit as volunteers who film games get no credit or payments for doing this and the clubs are hit because they'll lose traffic from people who can see it on another site earlier. Sponsors and all that.
Ah I see. Interesting. Who edits the highlights? Whoever it was somehow decided Brody Robertson's pretty astonishing miss with that free header from eight yards wasn't worthy of a highlight, yet some deflected shots that hit the Stump were! Bizarre.
Does it show the blatant foul on Tshimanga as he outsprinted the Alfreton defence. The ref bottled the red card I feel.
