It will be something stronger John. :P I'm not having that shower (not all) of spineless, weak kneed tossers ruining MY day.

If we do that then we should prepare ourselves for a few more relegations over the next few seasons. When Barrow are playing away I watch quite a bit of local football and can't think of many players who could make the step up of around 5 or 6 tiers of the pyramid.

Agreed, certainly I didn't expect many to stay.

That doesn't change the fact that the ones who signed pre-contract agreements with other clubs and then withheld the information, I suspect from the club and definitely the fans are massive cunts.

Aye, don't agree with the way they've gone about it.

I would have had little objection if they haven't been getting paid regularly and had been up front about it.

Don't blame them for trying to get themselves sorted. Just be a [SwearFilter] man about it and let people know, so they can make a decision whether you should be in the side/supported, or not.

Exactly, can't disagree with that Reg.

I was not condoning their behaviour, (rats and sinking ships), it was just fairly obvious that only those who wouldn't be able to get another BSP club, or a better paid job at BSN level would stay - with the possible exception of the small handful of players who are decent, honest and genuinely committed to this club.

The sooner they clear off the better. Would only be sorry to see Skelton & Hurst go.

This has been the most [SwearFilter] and un-memorable(?) squad I have known. I've forgotten most of them already. History. Move on.

The sun is shining and this terrible season is coming to an end so I feel quite upbeat today.
just a shame that Boyce was surrounded by too many who lacked the taste for battle.Hopefully lonenees will be a thing of the past too.Never really expected too much from the game today.A shame that was the case again.For effort,ruthers, Skelts, Flynn , O'donnell and Hurst 100 pc.att was decent for this game imo.Could have been so much worse on a sunny evening.
Seasons to be cheerful.Part 16 3/4 :skill:
