1-1
Gardener (Sunderland loanee) on debut.
It’s a watchable game.
Silly error by CH

Bishops 1-0 Spartans 10 min

Soft goal.

[Rene Artois]

Commentator is half decent.
Stortford should be 1-0 up already. A bad decision from their forward.

[Rene Artois]

Trust – Cuanto cuestan estos por favor?

[Rene Artois]

Stortfords Bishops v Blyth are on at 1pm.

[Rene Artois]

Awesome… fiver each?

[Rene Artois]

Changed my mind more times than Catherine Tramell changed her knickers in Basic Instinct.

2-0
Att: 4,775

[Rene Artois]

Anyone know how many tickets they’ve sold?

Four quid on Iron 3-2 P’grims at 25/1 to get £104 back.

Head: 2-0
Heart: 3-2
Gut: 2-0

last Saturday I watched our game at Farsley, Brackley v Banbury and York v Gateshead on Monday all on one pass, because it was for the whole weekend, so like today if there is a game that kicks off at 1pm in Premier, North or South you can watch 2 games

It’s Friday the first of December 2023 and it may have just being announced that Band Aid are to reform for Christmas 2023.

Not to feed the world this time – but to feed the ex players & staff still owed wages and staff who were made redundant in the summer but whom are still awaiting their redundancy payments.

Guinevere and her Knights of the Round Table may have made Glanford Park their Camelot – but, let’s not condemn former loyal and long serving ex employees to Bleak House this Christmas.

The Jarndyce family suffered whilst awaiting their inheritance – The ESUFCE (Ex Scunthorpe United Football Club Employees) are the 21st century Jarndyce family… awaiting wages & redundancy payments.

A FOODBANK CHRISTMAS could have been a Dickens fiction.

In times gone by, they (ESUFCE) might have been down the workhouse conversing with Mr Bumble.

Fall behind with your mortgage these days and you don’t even have the safety net of ‘Bumbledon’ and the opportunity to ask Mr Bumble for ‘more’.

At best, you might be lucky and end up in tent city, at second worst, you might end up under the arches.
At the very worst, you might end up… starts and ends with D.

The biggest cause of death in men aged under 50 in the UK is suicide.
The days that most suicides take place on are: Sundays & Mondays.

Christmas Eve this year is on… SUNDAY

Christmas Day this year is on… MONDAY!

Back during the record breaking hot days of summer, did WHAM give any thought to his hotheaded decision to terminate people’s employment and to not pay them redundancy monies owed them?

Did he give any thought to the fact that they may have mortgages, loans, credit cards, store cards, overdrafts, child care costs, nursing home costs, that there is the energy crisis, high ongoing inflation, stagnant wages and the cost of living (or existing) crisis.

Did he not think that some of these ex employees might still be out of a job a few short months later?

Did he not think that this winter could be one of the coldest winters for decades – and that people on benefits (or the streets) suffer ill health & death by not being warm?

Christmas is a-coming and we start to light the Christmas candles – the four candles representing the Christian concepts of hope, peace, joy and love.

Are you a good Christian?
Are you a good man/woman?

Will the ESUFCE have any hope this Christmas?
Will the ESUFCE have peace this Christmas?
Will the ESUFCE find joy this Christmas?
Will the ESUFCE be loved and give love this Christmas?

Hopefully, we won’t be lighting a fifth candle in remembrance of one of our former ESUFCE brothers/sisters!

Guinevere and her Knights of Camelot should do their Christian duty, their moral duty and fulfil their legal obligations and honour the ESUFCE.

Is Kieran Maguire Inspector Bucket?

It may have being of WHAMs doing – but our Queen Guinevere must resolve this.

A Court of Chancery no more.

Blessing to anyone and everyone awaiting any monies.
Stay strong.

Epiphany today – marking the end of the Christmas season.
Let’s hope that all our friends are well.

No Christmas songs in the new chart.

It’ll be next Christmas before Last Christmas gets an airing again.

JD has confirmed the club have appealed the red card for Danny Whitehall jointly with Farsley stating the cards were for violent conduct .. waiting to see if Whitehall will be allowed to play today.

Too many Hoyo de Monterreys to be smoked and Remy Martin VSOP Cognacs to be quaffed before a decision can be even considered.

Yes, you can also ground hop and watch any of the other games if you desire.
At least you could do the last time I tried to do that.

[Rene Artois]

Scunthorpe 1/2
Draw 14/5
Boston 9/2

Tamworth 8/15
Draw 14/5
Buxton 4/1

Scunny & Tammy should both secure the win tomorrow.

Tight, innit?

[Rene Artois]

At 17:45pm today, we will know the first No 1 of 2024.

A smidgen over an hour to go.

Do they know it’s Christmas (Feed the World) only got to No 15 last week.

WHAM RAPPed up the Christmas No 1 – will those Bad Boys be No 1 in the all new chart?

Enjoy what you do…
What you do…

Saturday 6th January – Three Kings Day.

Apollo’s golden lyre has proven to be off key.

Maybe more lessons at the Polis of Oropus are needed to strum a good tune?

Tomorrow is our Epiphany – we are our own destiny!

Outstanding value. I guess they’ll have some great days out at those prices?

It would appear that there’s also an admin or VAT fee too?

In the small print it says that The Super Draw Lotto is operated by the Sheffield United Supporters Association.

Yeah, I too saw that and that 20% goes to them.

Have Boston possibly done a copy & paste exercise and inadvertently forgotten to change the SUFC to Boston United?

If not, does any Sheffield United involvement break any rules?

[Rene Artois]

Anyone who bangs in a few goals, a marked improver, a young un showing promise?

He’ll get sent off again before the season finishes.
CBs will know that he’s easily wound up.
LCB has first pop at him. Yellow.
RCB has second pop at him. Yellow. Off.
I’d target him.

They will probably bring more Rene 348 so far.

That’s better. I think they’ll do 500 easily.

[Rene Artois]

Boston’s ground is equidistant of Glanford Park and Kings College, Cambridge +/- a mile.

It’s hardly a derby.

A game between two clubs at opposing poles of the county.

Boston is only 21 miles from the Cambridgeshire border.

It’s only 23 miles from the Norfolk border.

It’s 70 miles ground to ground and 1 hour 45 minutes travelling.

Scarborough 70 miles, 1 hour 45 mins
Notts County 70 miles, 1 hour 30 mins
Grantham Town 63 miles
Huddersfield 62 miles
Bradford 59 miles

[Rene Artois]

I was thinking that they’d bring about 500.

Let’s sell him and get a few quid in the piggy bank.

[Rene Artois]

They are pressing for a play off spot and were 2-0 winners over Kings Lynn in their last game.
2,670 at the match.
A decent first goal.
I think they’ll enjoy playing at GP and should fetch a few with them.
I think my original prediction was overly optimistic and I’m reassessing.

Scunthorpe 2-1 Boston @ 7/1
Att: 4,775
