Half a dozen more bad pics.

Know the feeling about photos and gloomy weather - my worst set in a long long time!

Can I make that three of us in agreement

Makes me feel better about the efforts I made today at an under 8's game.

that's rubbish the game was pretty one sided in Stalybridge Celtic's favour even though we scored two late goals it was still one sided in our favour up to that point. I can't remember you threatening our goal too often second half so I didn't feel you were going to score and make the score 1-1 and getting two late goal just put a realistic reflection on how the game went.

So you keep saying... I wouldn't say you passed us off the park, most of your short passing was in your own half, and you did resort to the direct game over the top for your quick attackers to run onto.

Newsham should have scored right at the start, and we maybe could have capitalised on a couple of dodgy kicks by Budtz, but yes, we deserved to lose but the two late goals made the game look easier for Stalybridge than it actually was.

I take it only Bostonians should live in Boston going on your rhetoric?

Whereas in 2007-8 Celtic's two late goals made the scoreline realistic, yesterday I thought a defeat by the odd goal would have been a fair result.

For those of you that weren't there, their second goal resulted from a mis-hit shot going straight to Hobson (who put it away deftly to be fair) - a foot either side of him and it would have been a goal kick and the the last goal was on the counter-attack after we'd sent loads of players forward - I mean Austin had just almost scored! If we'd have been playing for the 2-0 then we'd have got it. Yes Bazza made more saves than their keeper, but they were ones you would expect him to make. There weren't many occasions I thought "They're going to score now" apart from when they actually did.

Stalybridge were better than us, but not as good as last season's Alfreton, Telford or Guiseley.

Just to pick up on a few points that's been made on this thread since my comments last night.

1) Celtic Blue accusing me of bias, every club forum is full of biased opinions so what was you expecting on a Boston United forum? For the record if we are outplayed I will say so, like away at Alty and home to Hyde for 2 examples.

2) Oxo passed us off the park, please! They played a very similar game to Hyde passing from back to front but whenever they got in threatening area's we closed them down. As for your comment about Ross was you actually watching the game yesterday? Ross was outstanding he broke up so many of their attacks and started ones of our own, for me he is the replacement for Churchy we have been crying out for. Playing a passing game is very pleasing on the eye but isn't the be all and end all, I personally though our game plan although not as pretty was very effective.

3) Again to Celtic Blue, why is it getting to you so much that we don't agree with you regarding what was deserved? If my team where sitting second in the league and had just won 3-0 I wouldn't care less whether it was deserved or not and if opposing fans thought it wasn't deserved even if I thought it was, end of the day you got the 3 points. Why do you feel the need for us all to tell you how good Stalybridge are?

4) I agree with JC, Staly are not as good as last seasons Alfreton, Guiseley or Telford or our own side last season for that matter. In fact I stand by my comment that Stalybridge played better in both games against us last season. Again I stand by my comment earlier that Hyde are a better side based on the 2 recent performances against us (not very scientific but it's all we have). You both play very similar games of passing out from the back, but Hyde created far more chances at YS  than you did yesterday. I also thought their defence looked more accomplished and if it wasn't for our poor front line we would of got a couple of goals yesterday.

5) N40's, you're about bang on, we are a striker or 2 away from having a side that can compete in this league. Earlier in the season our problems where 3-fold, we where getting overrun in the middle, we weren't creating the chances and the few we did where largely not put away. The side are now creating chances, the middle has been shored up, partly due to Ben Milnes now getting a lot more challenges in but also the acquisition of Ian Ross. If we can get that elusive front 1/2 then I personally believe we can have a very good second half of the season.

Edit: I'd like to add that there is obviously still plenty of room for improvement on yesterdays performance but the team have generally improved as the season has gone on and we have got rid of most of the players we needed to and brought in better replacements.

It may be a Boston forum but because you are talking about my team I think that gives me the right to comment on a match involving your team and mine. I wont be commenting on Boston when you play other teams.

Nice of you to appreciate my unbiased impartial honest view of Saturdays match.

[noughtyforties]

Its about as unbiased as our lot's views but it is nice to see both sides.......

Not seen you yet but Hyde looked an exceptional side here the other week.

Woad, I did say "in my humble opinion"this was my view, I respect your views and opinions so I will just clarify what I meant about about Ross, I have always been a fan of his and I think he is a great signing, on saturday he got totally involved and put in a determined shift and because of this it appeared to me that Milnes and Sleath didn't know how to react if that makes sense, he also took a corner when Milnes was on his way to take it and he looked well peed off. So, I was not having a go at Ross but it is something that needs to be sorted out on the training field. As for being passed off the park I stick with that.

the point i was making is that he has come on the forum and is moaning about what boston fans are saying! but then again he's very welcome if he's moaning about other boston fans opinions!

Or maybe your team didn't play well and they made Hyde look good.
