Re: Darlington v Buxton
That was a real cannon-fire of a shot by Nelson to earn the Victory... sorry but it had to be done :D. Pleased that he made amends for Tuesday's misses and played such a key role in a crucial win. It clearly meant a lot to him. Maybe just the confidence booster he needed. We stuck at it despite the...

Re: More local competition for good players now at Blyth
It's generally accepted that the club has been run with a very modest budget... and there were still losses to be covered by Platten. Unless there are substantially increased income streams and a huge rise in attendances those losses will be magnified if this guy splashes the cash. Blyth probably a...

Re: More local competition for good players now at Blyth
I've seen a suggestion that it was £1 with Platten writing off £700,000 loans. It is therefore said to be debt free. There is still no evidence that this new owner has been linked to successful, long-term companies ie not ones that have been dissolved without filing any accounts. The basis for trus...

Re: Boston v Darlington 20/02/24
Nelson's had a tough time with injuries - plus it's only 4 years ago I saw him at Tynecastle scoring the winning goal for Dundee v Hearts in the scottish prem in front of 15,500 people. can only hope Steve Watson can get into his head and turn him around. Lengthy layoffs and knee injuries can be ha...

Re: More local competition for good players now at Blyth
Guess it just brings it home when you do read of other clubs in takeover talks and the potential money and excitement this brings, just how far behind we are again as a club with little to no sign of it changing. But again you're making this wild, unsubstantiated assumption that clubs being in take...

Re: Boston v Darlington 20/02/24
Nelson has had all season (and some of last) to "get going". I think we can safely assume he's not going to get any sharper than he is now.

Re: More local competition for good players now at Blyth
Just read about the takeover at Blyth and how they are already planning for new players next season. Totally get that it does not guarantee success but my god it helps. So that’s basically every other decent non league club in the N East probably able to offer much better deals than we can. We will...

Re: Any new faces
That was my point. Gowling signed a crock in Asante. Watson signed a crock in Barrow. Very little difference in the last 12 months for the pair of them, but you can't say Asante was typical of the type of player Gowling brought in. Sometimes players who have been injured work out, sometimes they do...

Think we need to remember Barrow has actually been hospitalised with food poisoning. Also think it's unfair to to think either of them wouldn't want to play if they're fit. Yes, my point is that he was signed having played very little football for 18 months, same as Asante. It was in response to so...

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll
So the board get a chance to turn it around but the manager who did a fairly decent job for a few years and who had us at the top of the league before his star player was flogged and then had his budget cut so we couldn't attract decent replacements for Beck and others, isn't allowed the chance to ...

Re: Blue card & sin bins
The games becoming more deranged with this blucard fiasco, it shouldn't enter the game at anytime it makes the referees job more difficult, how can they differentiate between blue yellow cards.

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll
If we'd stuck the £30,000 on it to win how much would we have got? £105,000 I got 3/1 early last night so £90k for bet plus the £30k stake = £120k, so depending on time of bet.

Absolute legend! Providing so much of his own time giving us fans all the goals and highlights over the years.

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll
If it has been pre agreed with the club that he isn’t required at all away matches then he’s done absolutely nothing wrong and I imagine that is the case.
